INSTALLATION
Step 1: The canopy should be placed at a minimum distance of
65cm above the cooking surface when placed above an electric
hob and a minimum of 75cm above the cooking surface when
placed above a gas cooktop. (Refer Pic 1).
Step 2: To install, drill 3 holes of Ø8mm along a level line at the
desired height. This line will hold the bracket that holds the
canopy to the wall. (Refer Pic 2). Insert the screws into the holes
and fasten securely to the wall, ensuring that the screws fix into
material that has sufficient load capacity to hold the weight of
the canopy.
Step 3: Add the ducting to the top of the canopy and fix firmly. Run the ducting to the outside of
the building as per the NZ Building Code requirements ensuring that the ducting is not kinked or
crimped in any way. (Refer to Pic 3). Calculate the final height of the chimney cover and mark the
position of the second bracket. Affix the bracket to the wall at the desired height. (Refer to Pic 3).
Step 5: Lift the first section of chimney cover onto the canopy. Place the second part of the
chimney cover inside the first and lift up to the final bracket height. Fix the chimney cover to the
top bracket using the screws provided and fix the body using the screws provided. (Refer to Pic 4

and 5). Note: The two safety vents are positioned on the back casing, with diameter of 6mm.
Installation of kitchen ventilation over electrical and gas cooktops must be undertaken in full
accordance and reference to the relevant New Zealand building standards.
Before installation, please ensure the area is clean to avoid remaining bits of broken wood and dust
being sucked into the unit.
The exhaust air must not be discharged into an operating smoke or exhaust flue, or into a shaft
used for ventilating rooms in which a fireplace is located. The exhaust must not share the flue of
any other appliance.
After the initial installation, check that the unit has been installed level to avoid grease collection at
one end.
When the canopy is located above a gas appliance, the minimum distance from the top of the
cooking surface should be at least 75cm and comply with the relevant New Zealand standards.
When the canopy is located above an electric cooking surface the minimum distance from the
top of the cooking surface should be at least 65cm and comply with the relevant New Zealand
standards.

If installation instructions for the gas hob you are using specify a greater distance please follow
the hob manufacturer’s recommendation.
Regulations concerning the discharge of air must be adhered to. Please refer to the relevant
New Zealand standards.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning of the Mesh Grease Filter
The filter mesh is made of high-density aluminium and stainless steel. Please do not use corrosive
detergents on it. If using a dishwasher to clean filters, please ensure that a non-caustic detergent is
used. Keeping this filter clean will keep the appliance running correctly.
Method 1: Put the mesh into 40-50oC clean soapy water. Allow soaking for several minutes. Clean
with a soft brush. Do not apply too much pressure as the mesh is delicate and will damage easily.
Method 2: If the detergent used in the dishwasher is of a non-caustic type, mesh filters can be put
into a dishwasher. Set the temperature at around 60oC.
Cleaning of the Canopy
Before cleaning the appliance, please remember to turn off the power.
To protect the main body from corrosion over time, it is essential that the canopy be
frequently cleaned with hot water plus non-corrosive detergent.
It is essential that the unit be dried with a suitable soft cloth after cleaning as residual
moisture can promote corrosion.
Do not use abrasive agents for cleaning, as this will damage the stainless steel body.
Keep the motor and other spare parts free from water, as this will cause damage to the
appliance.

Installing the carbon filter (optional):
1. Remove the lower and upper chimney sections from the main body of the canopy.
2. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws that hold the motor access panel in place.
3. Once the motor access panel is removed, you will be able to see the motor.
4. Hook the carbon filter over the pins that are located at the end of the motor. Turn the carbon
filter anticlockwise until you feel it click into place.
Warning: the carbon filters cannot be washed or recycled. It should be changed at three or six
months dependent on your cooking habits.
Replacing the Lights
Lever out the lamp cap at its indentation points with a blunt object and gently pull out the bulb.
Replace the bulb, holding it with the package wrapping or tissue paper, as holding it directly with
your fingers will cause the fuse to blow.
