INSTALLATION PREPARATION
IMPORTANT
Rangehood width
●
●
The smaller rangehood models are only intended to be installed over a cooktop with a
maximum of four burners or cooking zones.
●
●
The rangehood width is recommended to be no less than the width of the cooktop.
●
●
A wider rangehood can be used to increase the capture area if space is not restricted.
●
●
The rangehood should ideally be centred above the cooktop for proper performance.
Installation location — Ducting preparation
The rangehood 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 rangehood being installed.
Remote control
If an optional remote control was purchased for installation with the rangehood the
remote control receiver must be assembled into the rangehood prior to installation.
Installation must be undertaken by an approved service technician. Instructions for
installation are provided with the receiver.
Duct adaptor
A 250mm round duct adaptor is supplied with the HB9048-2 & HPB12048-2 models to
mount to the top of the rangehood to provide a single outlet. This should be installed before
the rangehood is mounted.
Duct adaptor assembly
●
●
Place the duct adaptor over the rangehood exhaust and secure with four 8mm screws
provided (refer to
A
).
●
●
Seal the connection between duct adaptor and rangehood with aluminium tape (refer to
B
).
Rangehood height
INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS
mm
A
Top of cooking surface to base of
the rangehood
Minimum 600
Maximum recommended 1067
The installation height ranges from a minimum height
of 600mm to a maximum recommended height of
1067mm. Consult the cooktop Installation and User
guide for details of the required installation height of
the rangehood.
This rangehood 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 rangehood on when you are
cooking.
●
●
Using a powerful gas cooktop or multiple gas burners
operating at the same time can cause the rangehood
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 rangehood at the maximum
recommended height. Consult the cooktop
Installation and User guide for details on the
installation height of the rangehood.
Cabinet mounting installation
●
●
The cabinet must be of sufficient strength and structurally
joined to the wall studs to support the weight of this
rangehood.
●
●
If support beams are added to cabinetry these must not
be more than 38mm
B
high from the underside of the
cabinet. Beams that are higher will prevent access for
servicing.
●
●
The rangehood 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.
