INSTALLATION SEQUENCE

FIG. A FIG. B

USING THE RANGEHOOD - WRG980CGS

INSTALLATION

1. Using a spirit level mark a vertical centre line on
the wall where the hood is to be positioned, and
a horizontal line at the hood base position (refer
diagram above).

NOTE: The height of the underside of the hood body must be
a minimum of 600mm above an electric cooktop & 650mm
above a gas cook top and a maximum height of 800mm (refer
to table below).

Distance from hood base to top of hob

hob type minimum* maximum

gas 650mm 800mm

electric 600mm 800mm

*

If the instructions of the hob specify a greater distance than the

minimum above, then that shall be the minimum height for installation

2. Mark the location for the wall and ceiling bracket

fixing points above the hood base using the hood base
as the reference point (refer diagram previous page).

3. Install wall and ceiling mounting brackets with suitable

screws (to support a total weight of 30kg) to the wall
at the positions marked in diagram bottom left.

4. Remove the protective plastic film from the hood body

and hang hood on the mounting brackets then secure at
the anti-tilt locations as indicated in diagram bottom left.

Depending on the preferred installation/ducting mode,
follow step 5a or 5b below.

5a. Recirculating mode (Fig. a). Using the centre line,

secure the ceiling mount bracket to the wall using
suitable screws. Attach the recirculating T-piece

(optionalkitAR600RKformodelWRG970CS or
AR600RKGformodelWRG980CGS)totheceiling

mount bracket. Install flexible pipe between T-piece
and fan transition outlet. Use cable ties or suitable
duct tape to secure flexible pipe to T-piece.

NOTE: When installed in recirculation mode, it is recommended
to use a carbon filter (included in recirculation kit AR600RK for
model WRG970CS or AR600RKG for model WRG980CGS,
refer to page 9) to prevent odours being emitted back into the
room. OR

5b. Ducted mode (Fig. b). The canopy rangehood has

been supplied with flexible exhaust pipe and duct
transition piece, alternatively a 150mm diameter

NOTE: For ducted mode, we recommend extending flue pipe
through the roof to external “china hat” to vent exhaust externally.
We do not recommend venting into ceiling cavity. (Refer optional
ducting accessories on page 9).

NOTE: To ensure optimum performance of the rangehood, the
use of rigid ducting is recommended. The use of bends should
be avoided. Rigid flexible ducting is suitable, although loose
flexible ducting is unacceptable. All ducting must be
fire retardant.

INSTALLATION OF TELESCOPIC
EXHAUST COVERS

Separate the inner and outer exhaust covers, and carefully
remove the protective coating from both. Carefully reassemble
the inner and outer exhaust covers sections by sliding
the inner into the outer exhaust cover. Carefully lower the
assembled inner and outer exhaust covers onto the top
of the cooker hood body. Fix inner (top) exhaust cover
to the ceiling mounting bracket with screws supplied.
Ensure that the inner (top) section is extended.

Care must be taken to ensure the screws are not
cross threaded when attaching the outer flue cover.

If installed in recirculating mode, insert the optional

carbonlterincludedinrecirculationkitAR600RK

WRG980CGS. To complete the rangehood installation,
insert the three filters to the underside of the hood body.
Place back edge of filter into position and push up front
edge so that the filter clips into place.

Your Westinghouse rangehood is now ready to use.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Beforemaintenanceorcleaningiscarriedout,
the canopy rangehood should be disconnected from
the main power supply. Ensure that the rangehood is
switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed.

• Externalsurfacesaresusceptibletoscratches
and abrasions, so please follow the cleaning
instructions to ensure the best possible result is
achieved without damage.

STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE

Clean stainless steel surfaces using non-abrasive
cleaning products that are specifically for use on
stainless steel.

To ensure best results also use an even pressure and
follow the grain of the stainless steel. Use of a soft cloth
reduces the risk of scratching. If the cloth is wet ensure
that a dry soft cloth is used to wipe down the surface
again reducing the risk of any surface rust appearing.

CHANGING THE HALOGEN LAMPS

OPTIONAL DUCTING ACCESSORIES

CLEANING GREASE FILTERS

The mesh filters can be cleaned either by hand or in
the dishwasher. After cleaning ensure that the filters are
completely dry before refitting.

By hand: Soak in warm water with some washing liquid.
For stubborn grease stains use a soft nylon brush to help
remove these stains.

In a dishwasher: Ensure that placement of the filters
is made so as to not impede the function of the spray
arm. Washing the filters in a dishwasher may cause
discolouration of the aluminium inner mesh over time
although it will not affect their performance. Filters should
be washed separately to crockery and kitchen utensils.

GLASS FASCIA

The glass fascia on model WRG980CGS can be
cleaned with window cleaner or a mild detergent and
hot water and paper towelling.

Using a small flat blade screwdriver remove the inner
stainless steel ring to obtain access to the halogen
globe. When removing the inner ring, do so carefully,
as the glass lens could easily fall out of the inner ring.
Remove halogen globe, whilst cool, and replace
carefully with a new globe.

The rangehood takes 2 x 20W, 12 volt halogen globes.

When handling globes hold with a cloth or gloves to
ensure perspiration does not come in contact with the
globe as this can reduce the life of the globe.
