CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Care and attention should always be taken when cooking with oils, alcohol, etc, which give off

flammable vapours. Pre-used oil is especially dangerous in this respect. Do not use an
uncovered electrical grill. Particular care must be taken with grease filters which must be
periodically cleaned, at least every two months. Remove the grease filters and wash them
either by hand or in the dishwasher using mild detergent. Use lukewarm water and mild
detergent to clean stainless steel components. In high humidity and coastal environments,
cleaning should be carried out frequently. CAUTION: Never use abrasive or oil based liquid cleaners.

DUCTING: Ducting accessories are not supplied. For ducting it is recommended you use 6” (150mm)
diameter rigid / semi rigid ducting. This will require a 6.5” (165mm) hole in the ceiling/wall.

NOTE: Fixing to a stud is recommended.

1. Pre drill pilot hole 1/8” (3mm) diameter at dimensions C and B. B=9” (225mm) and
C=10.25” (260mm).

2. Loosly fix the 12 x 2” screws and 2 x cup washers in position, check with a spirit level across
the screws to ensure they are level.

3. Mark the position of the decorative chimney at the ceiling and wall. Cut the cornice moulding
away as required, to enable the chimney to fit flush against the wall and ceiling.

4. Mark and cut out the hole in the ceiling/wall to fit the ducting (6.5” (165mm) dia.). This is
positioned centrally above the canopy hood and 3.9” (100mm) from the wall (for ceiling option).

5. Using the screws supplied, fix the chimney bracket to the wall/ceiling, checking that it is
centrally located above the canopy.

6. Remove the protective plastic covering from all parts including the filters. Fit the canopy hood
on the mounting screws, tighten screws (diag.2).

7. Connect to the power supply and switch on the power to the canopy hood. Check the function of
the canopy hood. Connect and secure the ducting (use duct tape if required).

8. Assemble the chimney pieces to a height that best suits the installation, leave these screws
loose so that the chimney is free to extend by a few mm (diag.3). Place the two pieces onto
the canopy top and secure the lower part to the canopy sides. Extend the upper chimney to the
ceiling and secure in place with two screws supplied.

WARNING - GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces

the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance

against electric shock the plug must only be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.

WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if

doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician

install an outlet near the appliance.
