				Cooking			surface
				36” (914)

NOTE: Stainless steel and iridium is very easily damaged during installation if abraided or knocked by tools.

Read the instructions before starting the assembly. Remove the filters to allow access to wall mounting holes.

The unit is designed for ceilings 7’ 6” to 8’ 10” (2290 to 2690mm) high. The chimney is telescopic and is designed to adjust between 25~1/2” and 35~1/2” (650 to 900mm).

Ascertain the desired installation height of the canopy. NOTE: Installation height ranges from 24” to 30” (610 to 760mm).

DUCTING: Ducting accessories are not supplied. The air outlet from the adaptor (attached to the motor) is 7” (178mm). 7” (178mm) ducting will require a clearance hole of 7~5/16” (186mm) in the ceiling.

INSTALLING MOUNTING BRACKET (See diag. 1 on following page)

Align the center of the installation bracket with the center of the cooking surface (use of plumb bob recommend). Place the flat/horizontal surface of the mounting bracket 8~1/2” (216mm) above the installation height (diag.1). Ensuring the mounting bracket is level, mark and drill the holes in the wall. Use the screws and plugs provided to attach bracket.

INSTALLING CHIMNEY BRACKET

Cut cornice to suit the chimney cover. Align the c e n t e r of the chimney bracket with the center of the cooking surface. Mark and drill the holes in the wall and ceiling. Use the mounting screws and anchors provided.

INSTALLING THE CHIMNEY

A rubber extrusion has been provided to hide any irregularities between the chimney and the canopy, it is fitted by simply pushing it over the bottom visible edges of the chimney. This steel edge may be sharp so care must be taken to avoid damage to fingers. If desired the extrusion may be omitted from the assembly.

Remove the protective plastic film from the chimney. Prior to mounting, determine the height required on the chimney. The height can be adjusted by changing the screw on the back lip (diag.2). Do not tighten the screws because the chimney needs to slide up when installing the canopy. Mount the chimney to the ceiling bracket using the screws provided.

INSTALLING THE CANOPY

Ensure the filters are removed from the canopy. Hang the canopy onto the installation bracket. Align the canopy so it is central to the cooking surface and lines up with the chimney cover. Mark out the position of the two safety screw holes located on the back panel. Remove the canopy, drill the safety screw holes and fit wall plugs. Refit the canopy to the wall and secure using the appropriate mounting screws (diag.3). Remove the protective plastic film from the canopy and filters. Refit the filters to the canopy.

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/iridium components. In high humidity and coastal environments, cleaning should be carried out frequently. CAUTION: Never use abrasive or oil based liquid cleaners.

LIGHT REPLACEMENT (See diag. 4)

Disconnect the power to the rangehood. Using a small bladed screwdriver prise off the light cover. If the bulb is hot use a cloth to remove the bulb. Replace with a new bulb using a cloth. Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers as the grease from your fingers will crack the bulb when it is switched on. “Snap” the cover back in place. A halogen bulb 12Volt/20Watt is required.

For other accessories, parts or service, please contact your local supplier (Refer to the Warranty Certificate).
