INSTALLATION PREPARATION
IMPORTANT
The HPB3011-4, HPB3011-6 and HPB3611-6 models are not suitable for use with a high
powered professional style cooktops.
Range hood width
●
●
The range hood width is recommended to be no less than the width of the cooktop.
●
●
A wider range hood can be used to increase the capture area if space is not restricted.
●
●
The range hood should ideally be centered above the cooktop for proper performance.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork. Do not use flexible ducting
Installation location — Ducting preparation
The range hood is suspended under the cabinetry. The ducting can be configured for
both vertical and horizontal discharge. The ducting can terminate either through the roof
or wall, to vent through the wall a 90° elbow is needed.
Optional extras
All optional extras must be installed prior to the range hood being installed.
Remote control
If an optional remote control was purchased for installation with the range hood the
remote control receiver must be assembled into the range hood prior to installation.
Installation must be undertaken by an approved service technician. Instructions for
installation are provided with the receiver.
Duct adaptor
A 8” (203mm) or 10” (254mm) round duct adaptor is supplied to mount to the top of the
range hood to provide a single outlet. This should be installed before the range hood is
mounted.
Duct adaptor assembly
●
●
Place the duct adaptor over the range hood exhaust and secure with four 5/16” (8mm)
screws provided (refer to
A
).
●
●
Seal the connection between duct adaptor and range hood with aluminum tape (refer to
B
).
Range hood height
INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS
inches (mm)
A
Top of cooking surface to base of
the range hood
Minimum 30” (762)
Maximum recommended 42” (1067)
The installation height ranges from a minimum height
of 30” (762mm) to a maximum recommended height
of 42” (1067mm). Consult the cooktop Installation and
User guide for details of the required installation height
of the range hood.
This range hood must be installed no lower than the
minimum height indicated in the table above. Minimum
installation height may be greater if required by the
cooktop manufacturer. Installation at the minimum
height will improve the efficiency of capturing cooking
odors, grease and smoke. Installation at the maximum
recommended height improves user ergonomics by
offering increased head room.
IMPORTANT
●
●
Always switch your range hood on when you are
cooking.
●
●
Using a powerful gas cooktop or multiple gas burners
operating at the same time can cause the range hood
surfaces to become hot, this effect can be reduced by:
– Using the maximum speed setting to enable hot
air to be extracted quickly.
– Installing the range hood at the maximum
recommended height. Consult the cooktop
Installation and User guide for details on the
installation height of the range hood.
Cabinet mounting installation
●
●
The cabinet must be of sufficient strength and structurally
joined to the wall studs to support the weight of this
range hood.
●
●
If support beams are added to cabinetry these must not
be more than 1 1/2” (38mm)
B
high from the underside
of the cabinet. Beams that are higher will prevent access
for servicing.
●
●
The range hood must be installed into an opening on the
underside of the cabinet.
●
●
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be
used, see ‘Product and cabinetry cut-out dimensions’
section. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance.
●
●
We recommend the cupboard has a door or service panel
that can be easily opened to access the power connection.
