Mounting Instructions
The rangehood is designed for installations between 650 to 750mm above the cooking surface. Any
installation above 750mm will compromise the extraction performance.
Minimum height from the hob top surface to the underside face of the rangehood:
• 650mm electric cooktop
• 650mm gas cooktop
Induction Cooktop
Suggested installation height for induction cooktop is 700mm. For more information, please refer to “Cooking
with Induction Cooktops”.
NOTE: If the instructions for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account.
• The location of the installation must have permanent openings for ventilation.
• Regulations concerning the expelling of air have to be fullled.
• It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that the rangehood be installed centrally over the cooktop, this will
greatly improve its performance.
*IMPORTANT: If the user decides to install the rangehood at a
distance of less than minimum height above the cooking surface,
Scandium declines responsibility for damages suffered by the
rangehood due to excess heat or damage to objects, people and
others caused directly or indirectly by a malfunction, breakage or re.

Overhead cabinet Rangehood Installation position
It is important to consider the benchtop and overhead cabinetry depth before installing the rangehood.
The information below is to be used as a guide only, drawings are not to scale and do not account for all
circumstances.
The cooktop is centrally installed in the benchtop in the diagrams below.

When the overhead cabinetry is constructed and installed deeper than standard, ensure the rangehood
is installed as close to the front as possible. This will increase the rangehood extraction results as there is
a greater coverage of the cooktop surface area.
*Overhead cabinets standard depth are approximately 300-310mm. This provides poor extraction
for the rangehood as the surface area of the cooktop is not covered, particularly the front
burners.

OPTIMAL
Rangehood bigger than the
cooking area.
ADEQUATE
Rangehood equal to the
cooking area.
NOT RECOMMENDED
Rangehood smaller than the
cooking area.
For Installers
• In addition to the size, the height of the rangehood above the cooktop is important to obtain the best performance.

Installation Advice
• Never reduce ue diameter right next to the rangehood outlet tting, refer to gure 1.
• Never t reductions next to curves or bends in the installations. They must always be in straight sections and
as far as possible from the rangehood, refer to gure 2.
• Avoid excessive reduction of the ue size, as this drastically reduces extraction capacity, refer to gure 3.
• You should not have more than one bend in the installation, refer to gure 4.
• Keep the curves or bends to a minimum. If they do exist, try to keep the angles as open as possible, refer to
gure 5.
• Keep ducting as short as possible, refer to gure 6.
Adding Charcoal Filters (optional)
If you are using the appliance in the recirculation mode, a carbon lter must be tted.
• Detach the grease lter rst.
• Press the lock and pull it downward.
• Plug the activated carbon lter into the unit and turn it in a clockwise direction.
• Repeat the same on the other side.

7. Condensation Information
Cooking with Induction Cooktops
Cooking with an induction or similar cooktop, may produce condensation on the rangehood.
Unlike basic electric or gas cooking, induction cooktops heat food and liquid instantly, which in turn, produces
vapours rapidly. Because of this rapid process, the rangehood lters do not have enough time to warm up,
which increases the chance of condensation forming.
There are many variables that may contribute to condensation forming, some of which include but are not
limited to:
• Variance in climate – geographical location
• Position of your home & kitchen – morning/afternoon sun
• Installation distance from cooktop to the rangehood
• Speed of food & liquid heating
• Filter size - larger canopy preferred
• Quality of pots or cookware you are using – high quality recommended
How to reduce the possibility of condensation forming:
• Ensure the rangehood is installed by a qualied professional, carefully following the installation guide
• Turn on the rangehood 5-10 minutes prior to cooking, and leave on for 5-10 minutes after cooking; this
helps clear remaining vapours from the ue.
• Start the cooking process at a low-to-medium setting and allow time for the rangehood to warm up.
• Clean lters regularly.
• Ensure constant airow in the cooking zone; this helps optimise the rate of extraction.
• Follow all induction cooktop manufacturer advice.
For further advice, tips or information regarding cooking with induction, please contact your induction
cooktop manufacturer.
