• 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.
• A power outlet should be within reach of the power cord exit from the rangehood.
• The canopy hood is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or metal
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.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• There must 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. This will void the warranty.
• 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 650mm. 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.
Page 3
Page 4
• Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air is fulfilled.
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.
• CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
• We recommend this appliance be installed and repaired by a qualified technician.
• It is dangerous to modify any part of this appliance. Modification of any kind, will immediately void the warranty.
• The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of failure to adopt proper safety measures.
• Please consult local laws and regulations and install in accordance.
• Use an electrical connector with earth that is correct for your location.
• Check that the voltage in your area corresponds to the appliance as indicated on the rating label.
• This appliance must be connected to an electricity supply with a ground connection.
• Check that the installation and electrical connections are made by a qualified technician and that the indicated
instructions and local regulations in force are met, using materials that are compliant with the applicable legislation.
• The company will not be responsible for installations executed by non-qualified persons and installations that fail to
heed the applicable legislation on electrical safety (with regard to both modes and materials).
• The electrical technical data can be found inside the rangehood, after removing the grease filters.
• The flexible power cable supplied is already connected internally and emerges from the rangehood near the air outlet
tube.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
• Always switch off and disconnect power before cleaning.
• The rangehood surface should be cleaned with soft cloth and non-corrosive detergent. Wash with warm soapy water
and a soft sponge. Never use abrasive detergent, scouring pads, steel wool or solvents on any part of this appliance,
Always make sure to dry the appliance after cleaning and never leave wet, as this will cause irreparable damage.
• Clean the interior of the rangehood with a damp cloth and a neutral detergent or denatured alcohol.
• For better results, you can use high quality cleaning and protection products (e.g. Steel Kleen) to clean rangehood.
• Do not leave the rangehood surface wet after cleaning.
• Particular care must be taken with the aluminium filters which must be periodically cleaned (at least every month, this will
vary depending on frequency of cooking and type of foods cooked). Remove the grease filters and wash them either by
hand using hot soapy water or in the dishwasher using mild detergent. Do not scrub. Note - some discolouration of the
frame may occur when washing in the dishwasher Caution: Never use abrasive or oil based liquid cleaners.
• If the grease filters are very dirty, the motor will extract only a small quantity of air, which reduces its efficiency. The
grease deposits that build up on the filter are highly flammable and COULD EASILY CATCH FIRE. The manufacturer is
exonerated from all responsibility in the event of fire due to poor maintenance of the grease filters.
• Important: Never attempt to repair this appliance by yourself. Always refer to a qualified Service Technician. Remember
to always switch off the electricity and unplug the connection before conducting maintenance or cleaning.

CONDENSATION INFORMATION
CONDENSATION INFORMATION
If induction, vitro-ceramic hobs and the like are not used correctly, they can lead to problems with the condensation of liquids due to
temperature differences. After some time in use, these condensed liquids can build up and possibly appear on the metal filters or the
bottom of the rangehood.
Induction cooking is designed to provide rapid heating, improved thermal efficiency and greater heat consistency. For some customers
with an induction cooktop, condensation can form on their rangehood filters while using their cooktop.
The induction cooktops’ heat source is contained in the conductive base of the pot. When compared with a gas, electric or wok burner,
the heat is not isolated or contained to one area and therefore gradually rises up on all sides of the pot or frypan. This combination
allows the rangehood filters to warm up slowly and eliminate the formation of condensation. For induction cooktops, the immediate
and contained heat source can produce vapours rapidly and prevents the filters from gradually warming up and increases the chance
of condensation forming.
There are many variables that can contribute to the condensation problem associated with induction cooktops and rangehoods. Some
of these variables include, but are not limited to:
• Where you are located
• The position of your home and kitchen (morning/afternoon sun)
• The quality of pots and cookware you are using
• Height of rangehood
• Rapid heating
• Ducting angle
• Filter size
User advice to avoid condensation in the rangehood:
• The rangehood should be switched on approx. 5 minutes prior to cooking and shut down 10 minutes after cooking has
stopped in order to clear the fumes held in the flue. These steps will help clear the flue out.
• Do not cook at full power straight away, i.e. start on low or medium power for a while so that the steel in the rangehood
can warm up.
• Filters must be kept clean. For induction cooktop users, aim to clean filters at least every 10 days, and replace the filters if
their condition begins to deteriorate. (Depends on the frequency of your cooking)
• There must be a constant flow of air into the cooking area to avoid the creation of a depression which can affect the rate
of aspiration.
• Follow the advice from the instructions for induction systems with regards to the condensation effect.
• Suggested height for induction cooktop is approx. 700mm above the cooking surface.
Each person’s circumstances are different, but the vast majority of induction cooktop owners have had no problems with
condensation. However, it is important to understand that:
Neither the rangehood nor the induction cooktop are faulty. That in some circumstances, the combination of the rangehood,
the induction cooktop and the many variables within your home, can lead to condensation forming on your rangehood
filters. With a gas or standard electric cooktop, you should not have any condensation.
