FEATURES
Your canopy has been constructed using high quality materials.
Your canopy is fitted with a powerful centrifugal fan and is equipped with a low noise
electric motor.
Your canopy produces strong suction to rapidly ventilate your kitchen environment and
each model contains aluminium mesh filters designed to trap grease from the air as it is
removed from your kitchen.
You will enjoy halogen lighting from your appliance.
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 (Fig 1).
Step 2: To install, drill the holes at the distance
indicated (Fig2) in a level line, at the desired height.
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: To fix the two-piece chimney cowling, firstly ensure that the power supply has been
placed within the dimensions of the flue cowling. Place the support bracket (A) for the upper
section of the cowling on the wall at ceiling height (Fig 3). Ensure that the upper flue bracket
is level and centred over the canopy. Fix bracket (A) firmly to the wall at the desired height.
Step 4: Place the lower section of chimney cowling over the upper section and lower into
place as shown in (Fig 4).
Step 5: Gently lift and extend the inner cowling up to the bracket height and fix to the
bracket (A).
NOTE: If retrofitting these units into an existing building, it may be necessary to remove
part of the scotia where the chimney cover meets the ceiling.

Installation of kitchen ventilation over electrical and gas cooktops must be undertaken in
full accordance and reference to the relevant NZ 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 shall be 75cm and comply with the relevant NZ standards.
When the canopy is located above an electric cooking surface the minimum distance
from the top of the cooking surface shall be 65cm and comply with the relevant NZ
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 NZ standards.

Cleaning the mesh grease filter
The mesh filter requires cleaning on a regular basis. Cooking styles with heavy grease and oil
loading will require that the filters be cleaned more frequently.
The mesh filter is made of high-density aluminium. Please do not use a corrosive detergent
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.
Cleaning method
Method 1: Put the mesh filter into 40-50oC clean soapy water. Allow to soak 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 60 oC.
Cleaning the canopy
Before cleaning the appliance, please remember to turn off the power.
To protect the main body from corrosion over a long period of time, it is essential that
the canopy be cleaned with hot water plus non-corrosive detergent frequently.
Do not use abrasive agents for cleaning, as this will damage the stainless steel body.
Glass units can be cleaned using a good quality glass cleaner.
Keep the motor and other spare parts free from water, as this will cause damage to the
appliance.
It is essential that the unit be dried completely with a suitable soft cloth after cleaning as
residual moisture can promote corrosion.
Replacing the lights
To replace the halogen lights, take a blunt object (eg, butter knife) and gently lever the lens
cover off. There are 4 brackets holding up the cover.
Gently pull out the bulb, and replace it with a new one, being careful not to directly touch
the new bulb with your fingers.
Fit the lens cover back on after replacing the bulb.
