Product Use
The Rangehood has one mode of operation:
Air extraction: The air is drawn in by the rangehood, ltered through the grease lters, and then expelled
outside. Please check the cleaning and maintenance section for advice on the lter’s cleaning schedule.
This product is designed for household use and must not be used for commercial applications.
After use, always ensure that all controls are in the “OFF” position.
Never ambé any food beneath the rangehood.
Always switch o the power source and unplug the connection before conducting maintenance
or cleaning.
Respect the cleaning frequencies and intervals for changing the lters, otherwise, the accumulated grease
could cause a re or damage to the appliance.
Changes made to the steel surface will render the warranty invalid.
In addition to the size of the rangehood, the height of the rangehood above the cooktop is important to
obtain the best performance.
For recommended heights, please refer to Mounting Laws and Regulations.

not impede the Back Draft Fins
from opening completely, otherwise poor extraction will occur.
5. Maintenance
Filters
• For this appliance to function eectively, regular maintenance is a must.
• The function of the lter is to absorb the grease particles emitted during cooking.
• Blocked lters and heavy oil deposits restrict airow and may cause the motor to overheat and become a re
hazard.
• Filters should be cleaned every 3-6 weeks or after 40 hours of use.
• Disconnect the electrical connection before any maintenance or cleaning processes are carried out.
• To remove the lter, grab the handles pull forward the lter, lift it up slightly and push back. Then pull down
gently to release it. To replace, perform the same operation but in reverse.
• In ceiling-mounted rangehoods, the doors or glass must be opened before accessing the lters.
• For an induction cooktop, please aim to clean them at least every 10 days, depending on use.
• The lters can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher
Washing by hand - Immerse the lter in hot water and a suitable detergent and when clean,
rinse with plenty of hot water.
Dishwasher - Put the lter in the dishwasher and select a short program at low temperature.
NOTE: The colour of the metal mesh lters may change after several washes. This is normal and it is not
necessary to change the lters. Please make sure the lters are dry before placing them back in position.

5. Maintenance
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 the accelerated 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.
• Distance from cooktop to the rangehood.
• Speed of food & liquid heating.
• Angle of ducting – an ‘S’ bend is preferred.
• Filter size – larger rangehood preferred, as it will have a larger lter extraction area.
• Quality of pots or cookware you are using – high quality is 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 become warm.
• Clean lters regularly.
• Ensure constant airow in the cooking zone; this helps optimise the rate of extraction.
• Follow all induction cooktop manufacturer’s advice.
• Install at recommended height above induction cooktop.
For further tips or information regarding cooking with induction, please contact the induction cooktop
manufacturer.
