SAFETY AND WARNINGS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions including
the following:
z Disconnect the power supply when cleaning or inspecting the product.
z Do not damage or place heavy objects on the power cord.
z The room must have adequate ventilation when the rangehood is used at the same time
as appliances burning gas or other fuels. (A partial vacuum in the room could result in
too high a concentration of gas in the air).
z Never expose the rangehood to a burner or element that is turned on without a pot or
pan covering it.
z Never use aluminium foil on the cooktop.
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.
z Do not clean the inside of the range hood. If you need to clean the inside, please
contact your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
z The appliance shall be able to work normally under the following environmental
conditions: temperature -15°C ~ 40°C, relative humidity ≤90% (at 25°C), altitude
≤1000m.

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.

the most effective fan speed. The fan will run until the air quality
is improved. The icon will change colour depending on the air
quality.

CARE AND CLEANING
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.
The entire unit should be cleaned once every six months to maintain venting performance.
Always wear rubber gloves during cleaning and maintenance to guard against injury from
sharp metal parts.
Do not operate the hood without the oil filter and oil receptacle in place.
Unplug the power cord if the rangehood will not be used for a long period of time.
Oil receptacle
Empty the oil receptacle regularly to avoid overflow. Do not let it fill further than the MAX
mark.
Slide the receptacle straight out to remove it
from the rangehood.
Empty the oil receptacle and wash in warm
water with detergent.
Position the oil receptacle between the tabs
on the rangehood and slide back into place.
Ensure it is pushed all the way in.
