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 o 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.
A power outlet should be within 750 mm of the motor assembly and can either be on
the wall, behind the chimney or in the ceiling.
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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Exhaust air must not be discharged into an existing flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is used at the
same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.
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 o 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.
For Australia and New Zealand: Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may
adversely aect 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 not occur.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
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 eciency 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 dicult 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.

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 sucient strength and a
flat surface.

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.
Note: in areas of high humidity or coastal environments, cleaning should be carried out
more frequently.
Aluminium filters
Depending on use, and at least once a month, the aluminium grease filters should be
removed and cleaned with hot soapy water or in a dishwasher.
If washed in a dishwasher, the filters should be placed in an upright position to prevent
food from falling on them.
After rinsing and drying, refit the filters.
Note: some discolouration of the frames may occur.
Removing the aluminium filters:
1Pull the relative catch, tilting the filter
downwards until it disengages from
2Reverse these instructions when refitting
the filters.

CLEANING ANDMAINTENANCE
WARNING!
When replacing the bulb, let the bulb cool, and assure that power to the rangehood
has been turned o. Use new bulbs according to that indicated on the rangehood
nameplate.
Carbon filters – for use in recirculation mode
Active carbon filters are disposable items designed to remove grease and odours
from cooking vapours before the air is channelled back into the kitchen. The active
carbon filters must be replaced periodically to work properly, at least every three
months, depending on the frequency with which the rangehood is used.
Note: fully saturated carbon filters can become a barrier to air movement therefore
limiting rangehood performance. In the event of fire, grease laden filters could
be flammable and therefore regular replacement is recommended.
Replacing the light bulb
Note: replacement bulbs are not covered by arranty.
