Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
The rangehood can be installed to operate with the exhaust air ducted externally from the kitchen, or installed to operate with the exhaust air recirculating within the kitchen.
Ducted
For ducted installation it is recommended that 150 mm diameter, rigid or semi-rigid ducting
is used. This will require a 160 mm (min) round hole in the ceiling or wall. Care should be
taken to position the hole correctly.
For optimal efficiency use the shortest and straightest duct route possible and use rigid or
semi-rigid ducting for reduced noise and increased airflow. Flexible metal ducting should
only be used as a last resort (ie in difficult installations) and if used ensure that it is straight,
smooth and extended as much as possible.
Recirculating
To enable the product to operate with the air recirculating, please purchase a recirculation
diverter and carbon filters (refer to the 'Parts and accessories' section). This recirculation
diverter is installed after a short length of ducting and is required to channel the air out the
side vents at the top of the chimney. The carbon filters are required to remove odours.
A ducting hole is not required in the wall or ceiling if the rangehood is installed to operate
with exhaust air recirculating.
