Rangehood installation height above the cooktop is the user’s
preference. This rangehood must be installed between the minimum
and maximum height limits indicated in the table above. Installation at
the lower height limit will improve the efficiency of capturing cooking
odours, grease and smoke.
* 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, aggressive 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 phenomenon.
Condensation can be minimised by:
• Installing the rangehood at the maximum height above the
cooktop as specified in this user guide.
• Using the rangehood on a lower speed setting when boiling.
• Using the induction cooktop on a lower heat setting when
boiling.
• Switching the rangehood on 5 minutes before cooking and
letting it run for at least 5 minutes after cooking. Refer to the
‘Operating instructions’ section on how to use the timer
function.
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
in recirculation mode with the exhaust air recirculating within the kitchen.
Ducted externally
For an externally 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.
Recirculation mode
To enable the product to operate with the air recirculating within the kitchen, please purchase a recirculation diverter and
carbon filters (refer to the ‘Parts and accessories’ section). The recirculation diverter is installed after a short length of
ducting and 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.
A ducting hole is not required in the wall or ceiling if the rangehood is installed to operate in
recirculation mode.
•This appliance is heavy and requires two persons for unpacking and installation
•Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
•Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may
result in electrical hazards
Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges.
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage caused by not following these instructions.

Installation
1. Preparing for installation:
Before installing your rangehood:
• Please read the instructions carefully.
• Unpack the rangehood and check that all functions are working.
• 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 the area behind the installation surface to be drilled is clear of any electrical cables or pipes, etc.
• The stainless steel and glass surfaces of the rangehood are very easily damaged during installation if grazed or
knocked by tools. Please take care to protect the surfaces during installation.
• Protect the cooktop surface below 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.
2. Attach chimney brackets and hood mounting
screws
• Attach the chimney bracket and upper chimney
bracket (if using the upper chimney) in the
locations shown in Fig.2 and 3. Use the 30 mm
screws and expansion plugs if attaching to
masonry.
• Attach the upper hood mounting screws in the
locations shown in Fig.2 and 3. Use the 30 mm
screws and expansion plugs if attaching to
masonry. Ensure that there is a 2 mm gap
between the screw head and the wall – see
Fig.1.
