Through your wall 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
Positioning the rangehood Installation heights
– Over gas and electric cookers, Residentia Group recommends our
rangehoods to be mounted at a height of between 600-800mm above the
cooking surface.
– Electric cooktops must have a minimum height of 600mm from the
underside of the rangehood to the cooktop face.
– Gas cooktops must have a minimum of 650mm from the burner to the
underside of the rangedhood.
– Over open flame grillers or barbecues, the Gas Regulations require the
filters of the rangehood to be at least 1200mm above the cooking surface.
Installing the rangehood –
The typical installation method for your slideout rangehood is into a purpose
built slideout rangehood cabinet.
– Drill 6 x 4mm diameter holes into the mounting shelf of the rangehood
cabinet (refer to the diagram below).
– Connect the air outlet adapter to the rangehood and then install the
rangehood into the cabinet using the 6 screws (supplied).
