Overview

Pre-Installation

Thank you for purchasing a quality Robinhood rangehood. Robinhood has a high standard of quality control
and every rangehood is tested and approved before it leaves the factory.

Important:

Please read the entire instructions before installing the rangehood, always switch power off prior to installation.
All electrical work must be done by a registered electrician in accordance with local and national electrical codes as

applicable. For your safety, this product must be earthed.
The power socket must be accessible and enable the end user to isolate the rangehood from the power for the purpose of

internal cleaning or maintenance.
A power outlet should be within 1500mm of the power cord exit from the rangehood.
The fluorescent tubes are designed so that if one tube fails (has come loose in transit or has an electrical fault) then the

other tube will stop working until the fault is fixed. This is a fail safe mode.
The fluorescent tube(s) may have come loose during transit. To refit a tube refer to page 8, Cleaning and Maintenance,

of these instructions.

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.

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas

or other fuels.
There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions. You must read the details concerning

the method and frequency of cleaning.
Do not flambé under the rangehood.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into an existing flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas

or other fuels.
The minimum distance between the hob surface and the lowest part of the rangehood is 600mm. This distance shall be at

least 650mm, if the rangehood is installed over a gas hob. If the instructions for the gas hob specify a greater distance,
this has to be taken into account.

Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air is fulfilled. If

re-circulating, ensure that the side outlet grilles on the upper chimney are not obstructed. Even a partial obstruction will
restrict the efficiency of the rangehood.

Stainless steel is very easily damaged during installation if abraded or knocked by tools. Protect the rangehood with the

cardboard box or plastic bag during installation.
Check the contents of the packaging, check all electrical functions of the canopy before installation.
Canopy is heavy. Please ensure adequate care when installing to prevent personal injury.

Ducting Options

The method of ducting should be carefully considered before installing the rangehood. The guide below
recommends the ducting components to use for all common ducting configurations - through the top of the home
(for the roof and soffit) and through the rear of the home. 150mm round ducting should be used in conjunction
with this model rangehood. Alternatively this rangehood can be operated in recirculation mode (Pg.6
Recirculation mode).
