Please ensure that all power is switched off before installing the
range hood. Installation must be in accordance to the local
electrical authority and codes.
The switched power outlet for the range hood should be positioned toenable the user toturn
the power off, toenable cleaning and any maintenance required.
The switched power outlet should be installed within 600mm from the rear ofthe range hood.
Ensure that when installing the range hood, that it is protected from any possible damage from
tools etc. Ducting for this range hood must be installed in accordance tothe local authority.
Ensure that the fixings used for this range hood are suitable.
Check the area where the range hood is to be fitted, toensure that itis
structurally sound. Before using the appliance, remove the plastic coatings
protecting the stainless steel finish.
The OMEGA ORS6WXA range hoods are intended to be fitted into kitchen cabinetry. They can
also be installed directly onto a wall ifrequired.
INSTALLATION OF THE OMEGA ORS6WXA RANGE HOOD DIRECTLY TO A WALL
Ensure that the wall is structurally sound, and is capable of carrying the weight ofthe range
hood. The range hood can be placed at a minimum of600mm away from anelectric
cooktop, or 650mm minimum from agas cook top.
Measure the distance between the two fixing holes on the back ofthe range hood.Due to
manufacturing processes, there may be slight variations on each range hood produced.
Mark the distance on the wall in the desired location, at the correct distance above the cooktop.
For timber framed houses, the range hood should be attached toa wall stud. Drill holes of a
suitable size to fix the screws into, which will take the weight of the range hood. Using a
screwdriver, attach the screws to the studs in the pre drilled holes, leaving an adequate amount
for the range hood torest on. Locate the range hood onto the screws, via the mounting holes in
the back of the range hood.
For masonry walls, mark the position ofthe holes onthe wall, and drill holes of a suitable size, to
accept the size of masonry anchor tobe used.Alternatively, awall plug of a suitable size may be
fitted. Fitthe masonry anchor (if being used) into the hole, orifusing wall plugs, attach a screw
into the plug. Allow an adequate amount of the screw oranchor out for the range hood to be
fitted onto. Locate the range hood onto the anchor orthe screw, via the mounting holes in the
back ofthe range hood.Fit the right angled brackets onto either side of the range hood using
the short 10mm bolts. Mark the position required onto the wall tofit the brackets. Drill the
holes in the wall, to accept either a screw or wall plug, depending on the wall structure. Attach
screws through the brackets and into the hole orwall plug drilled previously.
Fit the one way valve onto the range hood, ready for the ducting to be installed. Ifno ducting is
used, itis recommended that the optional charcoal filters be installed to clean the air being
exhausted back into the room.
