Installation Continued
It’s important to carefully read the following installation instructions before beginning the
installation of your rangehood.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY
•
Always switch the power at the mains off prior to beginning the installation.
•
Stainless steel is very easily damaged during installation. Wherever possible, protect the
rangehood with the cardboard box or plastic wrap during the installation.
•
For safety reasons, this rangehood must be earthed.
•
A power point must be located within 1.5m of the power cord exit from the rangehood, and it
should be always accessible to allow isolation from power during cleaning or maintenance.
•
All ducting must comply with building codes and local requirements.
•
Ensure that the rangehood is mounted in a level position, both horizontally and vertically. This is
essential to ensure the rangehood operates correctly and prevents grease build up at one end.
DUCTING OPTIONS
Before beginning the installation of your rangehood, the method of ducting should be considered
and selected. The guide below illustrates the various ducting options.
•
Into your ceiling cavity and then vented through your eaves. (Fig. 1)
•
Straight up and through your tiled or metal roof. (Fig. 2)
•
Through your wall. (Fig. 3)
Further to your various ducting options, below are some tips on how to correctly duct your
rangehood:
•
Always use correctly sized ducting: DO NOT reduce the size of the ducting.
•
Always use solid ducting.
•
Always use non-flammable ducting.
•
Always duct to the outside atmosphere.
•
DO NOT use flexible ducting.
•
DO NOT duct into the ceiling space: always vent to the outside atmosphere.
•
Avoid sharp 90 degree bends as much as possible, use 45 degree bends instead wherever
possible.
•
Duct to the outside atmosphere using the shortest duct run possible.
•
Use cylindrical ducting whenever possible.
