SAFETY AND WARNINGS
WARNING!
When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions includingthe following:
z Please read the entire set of instructions before installing or using this appliance.
z Please make this information available to the person installing the appliance – doing so
could reduce your installation costs.
z Always switch the power off prior to installation, servicing or cleaning of the appliance.
z This appliance must be installed and connected to the mains power supply only by a
suitably qualified person according to these installation instructions and in compliance
with any applicable local building and electricity regulations. Failure to install the
appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims.
z To comply with electrical safety regulations, the appliance must be plugged into
a socket near the appliance. The socket must be accessible, or have an accessible
isolating switch, to enable the end user to isolate the appliance from the power for the
purpose of internal cleaning or maintenance.
z A power outlet should be within 750mm of the rangehood and can either be on the
wall, behind the chimney or in the ceiling.
z If the supply cord of this equipment is damaged, it must only be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
z All ducting must comply with local requirements and building codes.
z Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the
discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
z Before connecting any pipes, consult municipal ordinances to ensure that any
applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air are adhered to and
request permission from the person in charge of the building.
z Exhaust air must not be discharged into an existing flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
z Stainless steel or powdercoat is very easily damaged during installation if abraded or
knocked by tools. It is recommended to protect the top of the appliance with cardboard
or polystyrene during the installation to minimise the risk of damage occurring.
z To reduce the risk of damage occurring to the cooktop, it is recommended that
the surface of the cooktop is protected with cardboard or a similar object during
installation of the rangehood.
z In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cut-out, this
appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer,
or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

z Ensure the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating plate match
thevoltage and frequency of the installation site.
z Check all functions are working.
z Check that the area behind the installation surface to be drilled is clear of any electrical
cables or pipes etc.
z The rangehood surfaces can be damaged during installation if grazed or knocked
bytools. Please take care to protect the surfaces during installation.
z Protect the cooktop surface with cardboard, or the like, to prevent damage
occurringwhilst the rangehood is being installed above.
z Temporarily mark the height of the bottom of the rangehood and the centre of the
cooktop on the wall according to the information given in the ‘Installation Height’ section.
z The wall used for mounting the rangehood should have sufficient strength and a
flatsurface.
z A power outlet should be within 750mm of the rangehood and can either be on the wall,

This rangehood must be installed no lower than the minimum height indicated in the table
above. Minimum installation height may be greater if required by the cooktop, refer to your
cooktop installation instructions.
Installation at the minimum height will improve the efficiency of capturing cooking odours,
grease and smoke. Installation above the minimum height is the users preference, it is not
recommended to install above the maximum height indicated in the table above.

Induction cooktop considerations
z Induction cooktops use energy efficient technology that only heats the contents of a
cooking pot.
z 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.
z 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, aggressive boiling on high cooktop heat settings like PowerBoost increases
the rate at which water is evaporated, increasing the likelihood of condensation.
z It is important to understand that neither the rangehood nor the induction cooktop are
faulty as a result of this phenomenon.
Condensation can be minimised by:
z Installing the rangehood at the maximum height above the cooktop as specified in this
user guide.
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. Refer to your user guide for details of how to use the
timer function.
