INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please ensure that all power is switched off before installing the
range hood. Installation must be in accordance to the local
electrical authority and codes.
The switched power outlet for the range hood should be positioned to enable the user to turn
the power off, to enable cleaning and any maintenance required.
The switched power outlet should be installed within 600mm from the rear of the
range hood
.
Ensure that when installing the range hood, that it is protected from any possible damage from
tools etc. Ducting for this
range hood
must be installed in accordance to the local authority.
Ensure that the fixings used for this range hood are suitable.
Check the area where the range hood is to be fitted, to ensure that it is
structurally sound. Before using the appliance, remove the plastic coatings
protecting the stainless steel finish.
The
OMEGA ORS6WXA
range hoods are intended to be fitted into kitchen cabinetry. They can
also be installed directly onto a wall if required.
INSTALLATION OF THE OMEGA ORS6WXA RANGE HOOD DIRECTLY TO A WALL
Ensure that the wall is structurally sound, and is capable of carrying the weight of the range
hood. The range hood can be placed at a minimum of 600mm away from an electric
cooktop, or 650mm minimum from a gas
cook top
.
Measure the distance between the two fixing holes on the back of the
range hood
. Due to
manufacturing processes, there may be slight variations on each range hood produced.
Mark the distance on the wall in the desired location, at the correct distance above the cooktop.
For timber framed houses, the range hood should be attached to a wall stud. Drill holes of a
suitable size to fix the screws into, which will take the weight of the range hood. Using a
screwdriver, attach the screws to the studs in the pre drilled holes, leaving an adequate amount
for the range hood to rest on. Locate the range hood onto the screws, via the mounting holes in
the back of the
range hood
.
For masonry walls, mark the position of the holes on the wall, and drill holes of a suitable size, to
accept the size of masonry anchor to be used. Alternatively, a wall plug of a suitable size may be
fitted. Fit the masonry anchor (if being used) into the hole, or if using wall plugs, attach a screw
into the plug. Allow an adequate amount of the screw or anchor out for the range hood to be
fitted onto. Locate the range hood onto the anchor or the screw, via the mounting holes in the
back of the
range hood
. Fit the right angled brackets onto either side of the
range hood
using
the short 10mm bolts. Mark the position required onto the wall to fit the brackets. Drill the
holes in the wall, to accept either a screw or wall plug, depending on the wall structure. Attach
screws through the brackets and into the hole or wall plug drilled previously.
Fit the one way valve onto the range hood, ready for the ducting to be installed. If no ducting is
used, it is recommended that the optional charcoal filters be installed to clean the air being
exhausted back into the room.
