Falcon Undercupboard Rangehoods

Installation Instructions

& User Guide

Falcon

It is important to follow the installation instructions.

By following these instructions for the installation, use and care of your FALCON under cupboard
rangehood will ensure many years of safe and reliable operation.

Gas regulations require different heights for different brands of rangehoods. Falcon rangehoods can be

tted 650 mm above the top of the highest burner of a gas hotplate. We recommend 700 to 800mm above

the hotplate for optimum performance.

The FALCON FALUC rangehoods are all meant to be put into cupboards over hotplates and can vary
in height due to the kitchen design. The rangehood can be installed ush or proud mount. For ush
mount the cupboard base panel should be recessed 35mm. In either case the minimum clearance of the
rangehood shall be no less than 650mm above the top of the highest gas burner or electric hotplate.

1. The installation of Falcon Rangehoods must comply with the information in this booklet.

2. Every Falcon Rangehood must be ducted to the outside atmosphere by the use of metal rigid or

semi-rigid exible ducting. Do not use of any type of plastic PVC piping. Rangehoods must not be
vented into a wall cavity or a ceiling space. This prevents a build up of grease, which can be a re risk.
Ensure the external outlet vent does not restrict the airow in any way, as this may result in reduced

performance.

3. Falcon Rangehoods must be ducted in duct work equivalent to the outlet of the rangehood ie: The

cross sectional area of the rangehood outlet and the duct work must be equal. Do not reduce the duct

size or have sharp bends. Enlarge the duct size if the duct is to run 6 metres or longer. Advice from
Andi-Co is available to ensure optimum performance. Always use nonammable materials to minimise
the risk of re in the duct at a later date.

4. Ensure ducting used for FALUC80-1 is a minimum size of 150ø, and FALUC100-2 a minimum size of
250ø, or 2 x 150ø.

5. Always adequately ventilate the room when the rangehood is in use at the same time as appliances

burning gas or other fuels.

6. WARNING: Incorrect venting will result in additional noise and a reduction in efciency. Exhaust air
must not be discharged into any chimney or ue, which may carry combustible products from other

sources.

a) Do not discharge the air-ow from the rangehood into a ue used for exhausting fumes from

burning gas or fuel;

b) If cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions as listed in this manual, you
may have an increased risk of re;

c) Accessible parts of the rangehood may become hot when used with cooking appliances;
d) 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.

e) Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

7. Do not ambé under the rangehood.

8. If the supply cord is damaged, an authorised service centre or licensed electrician must replace it.

9. The lights in the rangehoods are LED and come with a night light.

10. To reduce the risk of xing screws coming in contact with live parts, do not drill or screw into the
rangehood. Live wires are encapsulated where possible to prevent user contact. If necessary drill from

the inside out and only through single sheet material.

11. When attaching ducting to the unit, do not attach (rivet, silicone, etc) to fan spigot. Attach ducting to

top of unit.
