SAFETY AND WARNINGS
WARNING!
When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions including
the following:
z This product is for use with a compatible Fisher & Paykel external blower. Failure to
comply could void your warranty.
z Please read the entire set of instructions before installing or using this appliance.
z The room must have adequate ventilation when the rangehood is used at the same time
as appliances burning gas or other fuels.
z This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety.
z Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance. Cleaning
and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
z You must read the details concerning the method and frequency of cleaning.
z There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
z Never leave frying food unattended since grease can overheat and catch fire. The risk of
fire is even greater in the case of used oil.
z Do not flambé under the rangehood.
z Never use the rangehood without the filters in place.
z CAUTION: accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
z Remove all packaging, including protective wrappings, before use.
z Unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing or cleaning.
z The rangehood may stop working during an electrostatic discharge (eg lightning).
Switch off the electricity supply to the rangehood and reconnect after one minute.
z Never use abrasive or oil based cleaners.

USING YOUR RANGEHOOD
This rangehood should be turned on for a few minutes before cooking in order to establish
air currents upward through the rangehood. This will also enable hot air removal from
your kitchen and keep the rangehood surface cool. When heat, smoke, moisture, grease
and cooking odours are produced, they will be carried outside instead of drifting into
other rooms.
Use the low fan speeds for normal use and the higher fan speeds for high heat, strong
odours or fumes.
Induction cooking considerations
Induction cooktops use energy efficient technology that only heats the contents of a
cooking pot. Unlike gas or traditional electric cooktops, the surrounding air does not get
heated when using an induction cooktop. As a result, rangehood filters, splashbacks and
surrounding cabinetry do not get warmed up, increasing the likelihood of condensation on
these cooler surfaces. Other factors like ambient temperature, humidity, natural ventilation
of the room, size of the cookware and how the induction cooktop is being used also
influence condensation. For example, rapid boiling on high cooktop heat settings like
PowerBoost increases the rate at which water is evaporated, increasing the likelihood of
condensation. It is important to understand that neither the rangehood nor the induction
cooktop are faulty as a result of this phenoenon.
Condensation can be minimised by:
z Using the rangehood on a lower speed setting when boiling.
z Using the induction cooktop on a lower heat setting when boiling.
z Switching the rangehood on 5 minutes before cooking and letting it run for at least
5minutes after cooking.
Gas cooking considerations
Using a powerful gas cooktop or multiple gas burners operating at the same time can cause
the rangehood surfaces to become hot. This effect can be reduced by:
z Using the maximum speed setting to enable hot air to be extracted quickly.

This rangehood should be cleaned regularly using a mild, liquid detergent and a clean soft
cloth to avoid a build-up of grease occurring. Avoid the use of corrosive chemicals, abrasive
cleaning products, hard brushes and steel wool pads. Grease deposits are corrosive which
can cause damage.
In areas of high humidity or coastal environments, cleaning should be carried out more
frequently. Disconnect the product from the power source before undertaking any cleaning.
Do not operate the hood without filters in place.
Aluminum filters
z Clean the filters at least once a month. Filters may need to be cleaned more frequently
depending on the cooking methods used and frequency of use.
z Aluminum filters should be removed and cleaned with hot soapy water or in
a dishwasher.
z If washed in a dishwasher, the filter should be placed in an upright position to prevent
food from falling on them.
z After rinsing and drying, refit the filters.
CARE AND CLEANING
Open the perimeter plate.
Pull the catch and tilt the filter downwards until
it disengages from thesupports.
Place the filter into the support at the rear of
the rangehood. Push the filter back into place.
Close the perimeter plate.
