Your safety is of the utmost importance to us. Please make sure that you read this instruction
booklet before attempting to install or use the appliance. If you are unsure of any of the
information contained in this booklet, please contact the Retailer where you purchased your
unit from.
IMPORTANT: Any installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
The rangehood must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions and all
measurements followed.
If the rangehood is installed for use above a gas appliance then the provision for
ventilation must be in accordance with the Gas Installations standard AS/NZS 5601.1 &
2:2013, the Gas Safety and Measurement Regulations 2010, and the Building
(Specified Systems, Change the Use, and Earthquake-prone Buildings) Regulations 2005
issued under the Building Act 2004.
It is dangerous to alter the specifications or to modify this product. Do not tamper with it
or attempt to modify the appliance in any way.
When installing the rangehood, ensure that the following recommended distances are
observed between the highest point on the hob top (including the burners) and the
bottom of the rangehood:
1. Electric cookers: 700 mm
2. Gas cookers: 700 mm
3. Coal/ oil cookers: 800 mm
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SET YOUR RANGEHOOD LESS THAN 700mm ABOVE YOUR
COOKER.
When installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets must not overhang the
cooktop.
The edges of the rangehood are sharp –be mindful of this as you handle your
appliance, especially during installation and cleaning. DO NOT CLEAN IN BEHIND THE
GREASE FILTERS.
If the room where the rangehood is to be used contains a fuel burning appliance such as
a central heating boiler then its flue must be of the sealed or balanced flue type.
If other types of flue or appliances are fitted, ensure that there is an adequate supply of
air in the room.
When the rangehood is being used in its extractor function, ensure that the ducting is fire
retardant and that there are no bends sharper than 90 degrees as this will reduce the

6
efficiency of the rangehood.
The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels. Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors
may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels
(including those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can
potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood or
other cooking fume extractor, the operation of open flued gas appliances should be
tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not
occur.
Ensure the ducting for the extractor function has the same diameter as the outlet hole all
the way through.
Keep young children from using, playing with or tampering with the rangehood. We
suggest older children and person with certain disabilities should be supervised if they
are using the rangehood.
Your rangehood is for domestic use only.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer’s service agent
or similarly qualified technician in order to avoid a hazard.
Please dispose of the packing material carefully –children are especially vulnerable to
it.
Clean the rangehood regularly. Dirty oil and oil build up is an even greater fire risk.
It is recommended to put lids on pots and pans when cooking on a gas cooker.
Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
The manufacturer & supplier refuses to accept any responsibility for damages arising to
the rangehood, including it catching on fire, due to a failure to observe the fire safety
advice contained in this instruction booklet.
Remember that when in extraction mode, your rangehood is removing air from your
room. Ensure that proper ventilation measures are being observed.
Warning: Always ensure that the rangehood has been switched off before carrying out any
work, including replacing light bulbs.
Do not connect the ducting system of this appliance to any existing ventilation system
which is being used for any other purpose.

The rangehood’s power cable must be fitted upstream from the electrical connection
using an omni-polar switch with a contact distance of at least 3mm.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED!
We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician, who is registered
with the Electrical Workers Registration Board (EWRB) and who will comply with ALL
regulations. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following NZ
code:
Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live, Green/Yellow = Ground
If you can only find two wires in the cable (blue and brown), neither must be connected to
the Earth terminal.
As the colours of the wires in the appliance’s mains lead may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your spur box, please proceed as follows:
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked “N” (neutral), or coloured
black.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked “L”
(live), or coloured red.
The green/yellow wire must be connected to the terminal
marked “E” or “⏚”.

11
Before beginning installation
Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
In addition, check whether there is an electrical socket available that will be accessible
once the rangehood is mounted. If the product is going to be used in extraction mode,
then there should also be space to connect a ducting hose to the outside.
Carry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the rangehood.
Ensure that all electrical connections are carried out by a suitably qualified person.
Before commencing installation of the rangehood the grease filters should be
removed.
Check inside the product and ensure that there is no transit packaging or any other
materials, such as packets of screws, guarantees etc. These should be removed and
kept for future use.
If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slot-in cookers from their position, to
provide easier access to the rear wall and ceiling. If this is not possible then a thick,
protective covering should be placed over the worktop, cooktop or cooker. This will
help to protect these surfaces from damage and debris.
Select a flat surface for assembling the rangehood. Cover that surface with a
protective covering and place all rangehood parts and fittings on it.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall or cabinetry. This appliance is
designed to be surface mounted only.

12
Extraction Mode or Recirculation Mode
IMPORTANT: You will have to decide prior to installing your rangehood whether to use it in
extraction mode or recirculation mode.
•What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes?
In extraction mode, the stale air will be taken via the grease filter and out of the room via
external ducting.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed through a charcoal
filter for purification. The air then re-enters the kitchen via an opening in the rangehood.
For optimum performance, we recommend that the rangehood is used in extraction mode
and connected to external ducting.
Unfortunately if you live in a flat, or if the rangehood is too far from an outside wall, this may
not be possible. The only alternative is to recirculate the air.
•What is a charcoal filter and do I need one?
All rangehoods have a grease filter but if you are using your rangehood in recirculation
mode, then a charcoal filter (Part Number: STI) must be fitted in addition to the grease filter.

13
Installing Your Rangehood
IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR RANGEHOOD
WHETHER TO USE IT IN EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION MODE. PLEASE REFER
TO PAGE 12 TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO MODES.
We recommend that at least two people install this rangehood.
If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then please note that all of the vent
in the upper chimney section must be exposed. You will have to take this into account
when calculating the minimum height of the extractor when installed.
If the recirculation vents are obstructed then the efficiency of the extraction will be
affected and could damage the motor.
IMPORTANT: YOUR RANGEHOOD SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAINS SUPPLY
AFTER THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED. AT THE TIME
OF INSTALLTION TURN THE RANGEHOOD OFF AND UNPLUG IT FROM THE OUTLET.
