Safety Precautions

This rangehood has been designed to be ceiling-mounted above a cooking hob. It can work either
by ducting system (discharging exhaust to the outside air) or by Recirculation (where exhaust
vapours are returned to the kitchen). Before starting the installation, consideration should be given
to how the installation is to be carried out, ensuring

Adequate space and clearances above the cooktop.
Position of flueing.
Availability of earthed power.
The mechanical strength of supporting structures.

The installation work must be undertaken by a qualified and competent person in conformity to
the rules concerning the evacuation of contaminated air. The manufacturer does not accept any
liability for any damage or injury caused by improper installation. Exhaust air must not be
discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other
fuels. This does not apply to rangehoods installed to only discharge the air back into the room.
Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage

on the rangehood’s rating plate. For cooker hoods featuring an earth wire, make sure the electric

plant of your house is correctly earthed. When installed, the hood must be positioned at least
65cm above the hotplate.

Never leave frying pans unattended during use as overheated fat and oil may catch fire.
Before carrying out any kind of maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the hood from the

mains supply.

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without

supervision.

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. (this does not apply to rangehoods
constructed to only discharge the air back into the room)

The appliance is fitted with removable filters. Ensure the filters are removed and

thoroughly cleaned at least once every two months in accordance with these instructions.

There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
Do not flambé under the rangehood.
Local regulations concerning the discharge of air must be fulfilled.
When using a gas cooktop never leave the burners uncovered while the hood is in use.
Switch off the gas before removing the pan. This not only saves energy but avoids a

potentially dangerous concentration of heat.

Always ensure the rangehood is kept at the correct fan speed to prevent flames licking

around the bottom of the pan.

Installation

Before installing the appliance, in order not to damage the appliance itself, the metal grease

filter should be removed. The filter can be removed by pushing the special filter handle

toward the back side of the cooker hood and turning it downwards so as to unfasten it from

its slot.

Mounting the Rangehood

Prepare the Cabinet

Using the diagram and dimensions shown here, proceed to make a cut-out on the bottom of

the cabinet in order to hold the appliance in place.

Prepare a power supply within the enclosure.

If the appliance is going to be used to recirculate the air, an aperture will need to be made

at top of the enclosure so that the air that is received can also be expelled.

If the appliance is going to be used to duct out the air, a hole will need to be made in the

location that the ducting pipe is intended to run through.

Insert the Rangehood

The Rangehood comes equipped with a set of

spring mounted stoppers on its sides. These

stoppers can have their depth adjusted, and should

be set so that when the Rangehood is pushed into

place, the stoppers spring into the top side of the

cabinet board, firmly holding the appliance in. A

clicking sound will be heard when done correctly.

Insert the Screws

Once the Rangehood is holding itself in place, insert the four fixing screws to finally lock to

appliance in. At this stage, all fine adjustments should be made to be sure the Rangehood

will sit where it is intended to.
