Ducting Options
The method of ducting should be carefully considered before installing the rangehood. The guide below
recommends the ducting components to use for all common ducting configurations - through the top of the
home (for the roof and soffit) and through the rear of the home.
150mm round ducting should be used in conjunction with this model rangehood. Alternatively this rangehood
can be operated in recirculation mode (see Recirculation mode Pg.5).

It is recommended that Ø150mm ducting is to be used, however a reducer from Ø150mm to Ø125mm
is included with the rangehood should Ø125mm ducting be required.
Extra lengths and/or bends may be required, depending on the length required and whether there is any
structural material in the run e.g. rafters. For best performance the maximum distance between coupling and
discharge outlet should not exceed 3 metres, with one 90 degree bend.
Some authorities require rangehoods to be vented outside. Ducted models should comply with this requirement in
every respect.
Please note that this chart is designed as a guide. Please consult Robinhood customer services if unsure.

Installation position
When installing the rangehood, the lower edge of the unit must be a minimum of 600mm (650mm for gas
cooker) above the cooking range. The recommended position for the hood is 650mm above the hotplates.
Pictured: Minimum height from the hob surface to the underside face of the rangehood is:
600mm for electric hob, 650mm for gas hob
Notes: If the instructions for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account.
Any installation above 800mm will compromise performance.

Installation
Mounting the Rangehood
IMPORTANT:
YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR RANGEHOOD WHETHER TO USE IT IN
EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION MODE.
oWe recommend that at least two people install this hood.
oYour rangehood should only be fitted to a wall and secured between two cupboards.
IMPORTANT:
YOUR RANGEHOOD SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAINS SUPPLY UNTIL THE
INSTALLATION PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
1. Open the front panel and push the two catches (A) upwards, then remove the Aluminium filter.
2. Whilst the front panel is still open, remove the two screws (B) and then press the tab (C) down and remove
the front panel from its guide rails.
3. Secure the extractor mounting brackets (D) onto the top of the hood, using the screws and washers (E)
supplied. Check that the adjustment screw (F) is fitted.
4. Measure a distance of 1050 mm between the highest point on the hob top and the wall that you will be fixing the hood
to. You should also measure and record the distance between the top of the extractor mounting brackets (D).
oUsing a pencil, mark this height and then attach the two mounting brackets (G) to the wall at this height, using the
screws provided. They should be positioned the same distance apart as the extractor mounting brackets (D).
IMPORTANT: These screws must be securely tightened.
oHook the extractor mounting brackets (D) that you fixed to the rangehood in step 3, onto the mounting brackets (G).
