Overview
Pre-Installation
Thank you for purchasing a quality Robinhood rangehood. Robinhood has a high standard of quality control
and every rangehood is tested and approved before it leaves the factory.
Important:
Please read the entire instructions before installing the rangehood, always switch power off prior to installation.
All electrical work must be done by a registered electrician in accordance with local and national electrical codes as
applicable. For your safety, this product must be earthed.
The power socket must be accessible and enable the end user to isolate the rangehood from the power for the purpose of
internal cleaning or maintenance.
A power outlet should be within 1500mm of the power cord exit from the rangehood.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas
or other fuels.
There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions. You must read the details concerning
the method and frequency of cleaning.
Do not flambé under the rangehood.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into an existing flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas
or other fuels. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
The minimum distance between the hob surface and the lowest part of the rangehood is 650mm. If the instructions for
the hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account.
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air is fulfilled. If
re-circulating, ensure that the side outlet grilles on the upper chimney are not obstructed. Even a partial obstruction will
restrict the efficiency of the rangehood.
Stainless steel is very easily damaged during installation if abraded or knocked by tools. Protect the rangehood with the
cardboard box or plastic bag during installation.
Check the contents of the packaging, check all electrical functions of the canopy before installation.
Canopy is heavy. Please ensure adequate care when installing to prevent personal injury.
Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used with a cooking appliance.
Warning: Failure to install the screws or fixing devices in accordance with the instructions may result in an electrical
hazard.

Installation
Mounting to a stud is recommended. However, if fitted to other wall linings (plasterboard, concrete etc) suitable
fixings will be required. Before drilling any holes check that the wall and ceiling are clear of any electrical cables,
pipes etc.
1. Pre drill pilot holes in the positions given (Pg. 4 - Installation position). Fix the mounting screws using a
screw driver and ensure the screws are securely fitted to the wall. Check with a spirit level to ensure the
screws are level.
2. Mark the position of the decorative chimney at the ceiling and wall. Cut the cornice moulding away if
required, to enable the chimney to sit flush against the wall and ceiling.
3. Only if ducting - Mark and cut out the hole in the ceiling / wall to fit the ducting (160mm dia max).
Warning: If drilling through ceiling, ensure the ducting hole will be fully covered by upper chimney.
4. Use the upper chimney bracket as template to mark the fixing screw positions. Then fix the upper
chimney bracket to the wall, checking that is central about the canopy body.
5. Remove the protective plastic covering from all parts including the filters. Fit the canopy hood onto the
mounting screws.
6. Remove filters. Fix the two safety screws through safety screw holes (A) of the back plate into the wall.

7. Connect and secure the ducting (use duct tape if required).
8. Insert the upper chimney piece into the lower chimney piece. Assemble the lower chimney bracket onto
the lower chimney using screws provided and ensure the bracket holds both chimney pieces. Do not fully
tighten the screws as some adjustments are required in step 9.
9. Place the chimney assembly onto the canopy body. Extend the upper chimney to the fixed upper chimney
bracket (Pg. 5 Installation) and secure them together as shown in the picture below.
10. Refit filters. Connect to the power supply and switch on the power to the canopy hood.

Cleaning and Maintenance
General Maintenance
Switch off the canopy before cleaning or maintenance.
To prevent surface damage never use abrasive or oil based liquid cleaners. To clean the surfaces of the
appliance, use mild detergent and warm water or a micro fibre cloth. In areas of high humidity and
coastal environments cleaning should be carried out frequently.
Warning: a build up of oil may occur if the canopy is not cleaned regularly.
Filter Maintenance
To maintain efficiency, the filters should be removed regularly (approximately monthly), and washed using hot
soapy water or the dishwasher.
Some discolouration of the aluminium mesh may occur if washed in the dishwasher.
Rangehoods fitted with charcoal filters are designed to remove grease and odours from cooking vapours prior to
the cleansed air re-entering the kitchen (when the rangehood is in recirculation mode). Charcoal filters should be
replaced every two to four months depending on use and cooking style.
Fully saturated charcoal filters can become a barrier to air movement therefore limiting rangehood
performance. In the event of fire, grease laden filters could be flammable so regular replacement is
recommended.
Replacement of Lights
The LED lights on this appliance are not replaceable by the consumer. If any faults are found with the lights,
please contact your nearest Service centre.
