wiring system must be made by a qualified electrician.
Failure to follow this advice may result in electric shock or death.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions
including the following:
●Please read the entire set of instructions before installing or using this appliance.
●Please make this information available to the person installing the appliance – doing
so could reduce your installation costs.
●Always switch the power off prior to installation, servicing or cleaning of the rangehood.
●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.
●To comply with electrical safety regulations, the rangehood 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 rangehood from the power for
the purpose of internal cleaning or maintenance.
●
●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.
●Ducting accessories are not supplied. All ducting must comply with local requirements
and building codes.
●Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the
discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
●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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
●The minimum distance between the supporting surface for cooking vessels on the
cooktop and the lowest part of the rangehood shall be 600 mm or 650 mm if installed
over a gas cooktop.
●Stainless steel is very easily damaged during installation if abraded or knocked by
tools. It is recommended to protect the top of the rangehood with cardboard or
polystyrene during the installation to minimise the risk of damage occurring.
●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.
●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.
●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.
●You must read the details concerning the method and frequency of cleaning.
●There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
●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.
●Do not flambé under the rangehood.
●Never use the rangehood without the filters in place.
●During an electrostatic discharge (ESD) it is possible that the device will stop
working. By switching the device off and on the device will again work as intended.
●CAUTION: accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
●Remove all packaging, including protective wrappings, before use.
Exhaus t air must not be dischar ged into an existing flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Range hoods and other cooking
fume extractors may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or
other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These
gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range
hood or other cooking fume extractor, the operation of flued gas appliances should
be tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does
occur.

Rangehood installation height above the cooktop is the user’s preference.
Lower installation heights will improve the efficiency of capturing cooking odours,

Venting options
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the
discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
The rangehood can be installed to operate with the exhaust air ducted externally from
the kitchen, or installed to operate with the exhaust air recirculating within the kitchen.
Ducted
For ducted installation it is recommended that 150 mm diameter, rigid or semi-rigid
ducting is used. This will require a 160 mm (min) round hole in the ceiling or wall.
Care should be taken to position the hole correctly.
For optimal efficiency use the shortest and straightest duct route possible and use rigid
or semi-rigid ducting for reduced noise and increased airflow. Flexible metal ducting
should only be used as a last resort (ie in difficult installations) and if used ensure that it
is straight and smooth and extended as much as possible.
Recirculating
To enable the product to operate with the air recirculating, please purchase a
recirculation diverter and carbon filters (refer to the ‘Parts and accessories’ section).
The recirculation diverter is required to channel the air out the side vents at the top
of the chimney and the carbon filters are required to remove odours.
Note: a ducting hole is not required in the wall or ceiling if the rangehood is installed
to operate with exhaust air recirculating.

Installation
1Preparing for installation:
Before installing your rangehood:
●Please read the instructions carefully.
●Unpack the rangehood.
●Ensure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the serial plate
match the voltage and frequency at the installation site.
●Check that all functions are working.
●Check that the area behind the installation surface to be drilled is clear of any
electrical cables or pipes, etc.
●The rangehood surfaces can be damaged during installation if grazed or knocked
by tools. Please take care to protect the surfaces during installation.
●Protect the cooktop surface with cardboard, or the like, to prevent damage occurring
whilst the rangehood is being installed above.
●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 instructions
– Height of rangehood’ section.
●The wall used for mounting the rangehood should have sufficient strength and a
flat surface.
2Attach chimney brackets and rangehood mounting screws to the wall
There are two methods of installation possible. One uses the supplied bracket. The
other method attaches the rangehood to screws directly.
•Attach the Inside chimney bracket and the Hood mounting bracket in the
locations shown in . Use ST4*40mm screws.
•OR Attach the Inside chimney bracket and the two mounting screws in the
locations shown in
2
. Use ST4*40mm screws. Ensure that there is a 2-5mm
gap between the screw head and the wall. See
Use the wall plugs if required.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANINGAND MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing
or cleaning.
IMPORTANT!
●Never use abrasive or oil based cleaners.
●Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges.
Maintenance
The 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 to your rangehood.
