CANOPY OPERATION

Thank you for purchasing a quality stainless steel or iridium canopy rangehood. We have a high standard of quality control and each rangehood is tested and approved before it leaves the factory.

IMPORTANT: Please read prior to installation or operation

•

Always switch power off prior to installing, servicing or cleaning the appliance.

•

Never use the appliance without filters.

• Please read the notes on general cleaning, especially the filters.

• Exhaust air must not be discharged into a heating flue or wall cavity, unless the cavity is designed for that purpose.

• Areas where the rangehood is installed that also have gas, oil or coal fired heaters, must be well ventilated to prevent a partial vacuum in the room. This includes gas hobs. (A partial vacuum in the room could result in too high a concentration of gas in the air).

• The appliance is supplied with an approved power cable which must not be changed. If the supply cord of this equipment is damaged, it must only be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

MAINTENANCE

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. In case of Charcoal Filter, it is a disposable item and should be replaced when cleaning the rangehood. 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.

USE 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 uncovered electrical grill. To avoid possible risks of fire always comply with the maintenance instruction above.

When making the electrical connection, check that the socket has an earth connection and that the voltage values correspond to those indicated on the rating plate inside the appliance. The appliance must be positioned so that the electrial plug is accessible.

The unit is designed for 2.4 to 2.65 metre high ceiling. The decorative chimney cover is telescopic and is designed for 665 to 950mm adjustment.

Note: Ducting accessories are not supplied. Please refer to the optional ducting kits. The air outlet from the motor requires 150mm round ducting which requires 160mm diameter round hole in the ceiling. This hole will be covered by the decorative chimney. Care should be taken to align canopy with decorative chimney allowing sufficient clearance to accommodate the flexible ducting.

Before starting assembly, read the instructions carefully and remove the filters from canopy to allow access to wall mounting holes. To remove the filters, pull the relative catch and tilting it downwards until it disengages from the supports. Reverse these instructions when refitting the filters.

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