SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions including
thefollowing:
Please read the entire set of instructions before installing or using this appliance.
Please make this information available to the person installing the appliance –
doing so could reduce your installation costs.
Always switch the power off prior to installation, servicing or cleaning of
theappliance.
This appliance must be installed and connected to the mains power supply only
by a suitably qualified person according to these installation instructions and in
compliance with any applicable local building and electricity regulations. Failure
toinstall the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims.
To comply with electrical safety regulations, the appliance must be plugged into
a socket near the appliance. The socket must be accessible, or have an accessible
isolating switch, to enable the end user to isolate the appliance from the power for
the purpose of internal cleaning or maintenance.
A power outlet should be within 750 mm of the motor assembly and can either be
onthe wall, behind the chimney or in the ceiling.
If the supply cord of this equipment is damaged, it must only be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.
Ducting accessories are not supplied. All ducting must comply with local
requirements and building codes.
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the
discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
Before connecting any pipes, consult municipal ordinances to ensure that any
applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air are adhered to and
request permission from the person in charge of the building.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into an existing flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is used at the
same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for cooking vessels on
the cooktop and the lowest part of the rangehood shall be 600 mm or 650 mm
ifinstalled over a gas cooktop.
Stainless steel is very easily damaged during installation if abraded or knocked by
tools. It is recommended to protect the top of the rangehood with cardboard or
polystyrene during the installation to minimise the risk of damage occurring.
To reduce the risk of damage occurring to the cooktop, it is recommended that
the surface of the cooktop is protected with cardboard or a similar object during
installation of the rangehood.
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 the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
You must read the details concerning the method and frequency of cleaning.
There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
Never leave frying food unattended since grease can overheat and catch fire. The risk
of fire is even greater in the case of used oil.
Do not flambé under the rangehood.
Never use the rangehood without the filters in place.
During an electrostatic discharge (ESD) it is possible that the device will stop
working. By switching the device off and on the device will again work as intended.
CAUTION: accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
Remove all packaging, including protective wrappings, before use.

Rangehood installation height above the cooktop

min. 675 – max. 1035
min. 600 – max. 750
min. 650 – max. 750
* Induction cooking considerations
Induction cooktops use energy efficient technology
that only heats the contents of a cooking pot.
Unlike gas or traditional electric cooktops, the
surrounding air does not get heated when using
an induction cooktop. As a result, rangehood
filters, splashbacks and surrounding cabinetry do
not get warmed up, increasing the likelihood of
condensation on these cooler surfaces.
Other factors like ambient temperature, humidity,
natural ventilation of the room, size of the
cookware and how the induction cooktop is being
used also influence condensation. For example,
aggressive boiling on high cooktop heat settings
like PowerBoost increases the rate at which water is
evaporated, increasing the likelihood of condensation.
It is important to understand that neither the
rangehood nor the induction cooktop are faulty as a
result of this phenomenon.
Condensation can be minimised by:
Installing the rangehood at the maximum height
above the cooktop as specified in this user guide.
Using the rangehood on a lower speed setting
when boiling.
Using the induction cooktop on a lower heat
setting when boiling.
Switching the rangehood on 5minutes before
cooking and letting it run for at least 5minutes
after cooking. Refer to the ‘Operating instructions’
section on how to use the timer function.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Venting options
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the
discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
The rangehood can be installed to operate with the exhaust air ducted externally
from the kitchen, or installed to operate in recirculation mode with the exhaust air
recirculating within the kitchen.
Ducted externally
For an externally ducted installation it is recommended that 150mm diameter, rigid or
semi-rigid ducting is used. This will require a 160mm (min) round hole in the ceiling or
wall. Careshould be taken to position the hole correctly.
For optimal efficiency use the shortest and straightest duct route possible and use rigid
or semi-rigid ducting for reduced noise and increased airflow. Flexible metal ducting
should only be used as a last resort (ie in difficult installations) and if used ensure that it
is straight and smooth and extended as much as possible.
Recirculation mode
To enable the product to operate with the air recirculating within the kitchen, please
purchase a recirculation diverter and carbon filters (refer to the ‘Parts and accessories’
section). Therecirculation diverter is installed after a short length of ducting and is
required to channel the air out the side vents at the top ofthe chimney and the carbon
filters are required to remove odours.
Note: a ducting hole is not required in the wall or ceiling if the rangehood is
installed to operate in recirculation mode.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing or cleaning.
IMPORTANT!
Never use abrasive or oil based cleaners
Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges
Maintenance
The rangehood should be cleaned regularly using a mild, liquid detergent and a clean
soft cloth to avoid a build-up of grease occurring. Avoid the use of corrosive chemicals,
abrasive cleaning products, hard brushes and steel wool pads. Grease deposits are
corrosive which can cause damage to your rangehood.
Note: in areas of high humidity or coastal environments, cleaning should be carried out
more frequently.
Aluminium filters
Depending on use, and at least once a month, the aluminium grease filters should be
removed and cleaned with hot soapy water or in a dishwasher.
If washed in a dishwasher, the filters should be placed in an upright position to prevent
food from falling on them.
After rinsing and drying, replace the filters.
Note: some discolouration of the frames may occur.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
When replacing the bulb, let the bulb cool, and assure that power to the rangehood
has been turned off.
Use new bulbs according to that indicated on the rangehood nameplate.
Carbon filters – for use in recirculation mode
Active carbon filters are disposable items designed to remove grease and odours from
cooking vapours before the air is channelled back into the kitchen. The active carbon
filters must be replaced periodically to work properly, at least once every three months,
depending on the frequency with which the rangehood is used.
Note: fully saturated carbon filters can become a barrier to air movement therefore
limiting rangehood performance. In the event of fire, grease laden filters could be
flammable and therefore regular replacement is recommended.
Replacing the light bulb
Please note replacement bulbs are not covered by warranty.
Before changing the light bulb, ensure the rangehood is disconnected from the
1
powersupply.
Remove the aluminium grease filters.
