Installation instructions
Ducting options
Recirculation
For recirculation, please purchase a charcoal filter, which is fitted onto the motor behind the
aluminium filters supplied with the hood. The charcoal filter purifies the air before allowing the
air to return back to the kitchen through the air vents at the front of the hood.
Note: a ducting hole is not required in the wall or ceiling if the canopy is fitted with a charcoal filter.
Ducting
For ducted installation, it is recommended that you use 125 mm diameter, rigid or semi‑rigid
ducting.
Efficiencies in the performance of your canopy are enhanced by the use of smooth, straight and
short ducting options.
We recommend using solid, galvanised or plastic, smooth‑walled ducting which helps to reduce
noise and increase airflow.
The use of flexible ducting is not recommended. If there is no other option available, the flexible
ducting must be pulled as tight as possible.
All ducting must comply with local requirements and building codes.
Note: we recommend an Easy Fit by Fisher & Paykel or a UNIDUCT ducting system, products that
have been designed to expel air efficiently.
Preparing the rangehood for installation

Before installing the rangehood, please carefully read through the installation instructions in full.

Prior to drilling any holes, check that the area behind the surface to be drilled is clear of any
electrical cables or pipes, etc.

Take care when installing the rangehood as stainless steel is easily damaged during installation if
scratched or knocked by tools.

Protect the cooktop below, using cardboard or a similar protective cover, to prevent damage
on installation.

Installation instructions
Rear venting installation
1
Establish the desired height of the
rangehood above the cooking surface
according to the ‘Installation height
requirements’ on page 4. Measure this
distance from the top of the cooking
surface and, using a spirit level, draw a
light horizontal line on the wall. Make sure
that the line can easily be erased or will be
hidden after installation. This is where the
bottom of the rangehood will sit (fig.1).
2
Mark the position of the rangehood on
the wall. Using a spirit level, also mark a
vertical line intersecting the horizontal
line, (ensuring that the line can easily be
erased or will be hidden after installation)
showing the position where the centre of
the rangehood will be. This is normally over
the centre of the cooktop (fig.2).
3
Remove the grease filters (this is to make
installation easier). Press inward on the
catch, found on the handle, and pull the
filter downward (fig.3).
4
Determine the position of the 133 mm
diameter cutout required for rear external
ducting out through the wall. From the
point where the horizontal and vertical lines
drawn earlier intercept, use a spirit level
and pencil to mark the centre point of the
cutout hole required 70 mm above the first
horizontal as shown in fig.4.

Installation instructions
5
Determine location of the fixing “keyholes”
on the wall. The hood is secured to the
wall by two “keyholes” located on the rear
panel of the hood in the top left and right
hand corners. From the point where the
horizontal and vertical lines drawn earlier
intercept, use a spirit level and pencil and
draw another horizontal line 120 mm above
the first horizontal line (ensuring that the
line can easily be erased or the line will be
hidden after installation) as shown in fig.5.
This now indicates where the top of the
“fixing keyholes” are. Where the vertical line
meets the top horizontal line (just drawn),
measure and mark both sides of the vertical
line, showing where to drill.
6
Drill holes and secure the rangehood to the
wall. Depending on the wall type (concrete,
drywall, etc) drill/screw appropriate fittings
in the two locations just marked. The
rangehood should now be able to be hung
on these bolts/screws through the two
keyholes in the hood.
7
Create additional means of attachment.
Keyholes alone are insufficient means of
attachment. There are two extra holes
found on each side of the back panel.
Select one on each side and fit screws (with
an anchor if required) to ensure proper
attachment, as shown in fig.6. Ensure all
fixings are secure.
8
If ducting externally, assemble and fit
ducting as per manufacturer’s instruction.
9
Test the operation of the rangehood. Plug the rangehood in and test its operation on all speed
levels. This will ensure that any imperfections in the installation, such as unwanted sounds or
lack of suction can be addressed. Over 95% of service calls are a result of faulty installation.
Please be aware that in the event of a service call for a faulty installation, you will be charged as
this is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

Installation instructions
Setting your hood to recirculate
Note: an additional charcoal filter (fig.7) is required to
be fitted when setting the hood to recirculation mode.
1
Remove the grease filters.
2
Locate the lever positioned on the motor
casing above the left hand light fitting (fig.8).
The factory default setting for the lever is to the
‘ducted’ position which is required for externally
ducted installations.
3
Slide the lever across to the right hand side
(fig.9) ensuring the lever is sitting beyond the
moulded catch. This redirects the air back into
the kitchen via the front air vent.
4
Fit the charcoal filter onto the clips located in
the centre of the motor casing grill (fig.10).
5
Turn the charcoal filter to clockwise to lock
the filter into position on the clips.
6
The hood is now set to recirculation mode.
The charcoal filter is a disposable item and it
is recommended to replace every 3 – 6 months
depending on use.

Determine the position of the 133 mm
diameter cutout required for external
ducting on the underside of the cabinetry.
Mark the centre point of the cutout
87 mm in from the position where the
back of the hood will sit under the
cabinetry.
5
Determine location of the fixing
“keyholes”. The hood is secured to the
underside of the cabinetry by four
“keyholes” located on the top panel of the
hood. From the line where the back edge
of the hood will sit, measure and mark where to drill.
6
Drill 6 mm diameter holes and secure the rangehood to the cabinetry using the small wood
screws supplied. The rangehood should now be able to be hung on these screws through the
four keyholes in the hood.
