APPLICATION

The K9998 FPX extraction/filtering unit is suitable for very varied 

installations.  An island or wall-mounted canopy can be designed 

incorporating these rangehoods.  Consider, as well, one of these 

units for a difficult situation such as a corner or, when renovating, 

the overhead cabinet widths are not the normal 60cm or 90cm, 

making more conventional rangehoods impractical.  The 

completely concealed design might alone be the sole aspect of 

a decor solution.

PERFORMANCE

Highly-efficient air extraction of up to 700 cubic metres an hour 

true (net) ensures the very swift removal of cooking vapours, 

odours and heat.  The higher speed selections are perfect for 

the more vigorous styles of cooking such as stir frying, griddle 

cooking and boiling, the lower speeds at the touch of a button 

are perfect for simmers.

QUIETNESS

40 to 56 dBA.  The motor/impellor encasements are smooth-

walled to minimise air drag and, hence, noise.  All metal joins are 

welded to reduce vibration.

SAFETY

Thermal overload protection on motor, fire retardant hardened 

metal and mesh, VO self-extinguishing plastic for motor housing 

and internal flue.

MAINTENANCE

No tools required — easy lift-out pair of grease filters for washing. 

For light replacement, simply rotate the decorative flange for 

access to halogen globes.

DUCTING

Direct ducting to atmosphere ensures the maximum removal 

of grease/oil/particle-laden vapour plus the odours and, very 

importantly, the heat, resulting in a cleaner, cooler, more 

comfortable work area.

RECIRCULATION

When the cooking vapours cannot be ducted to atmosphere, the 

filtered air can simply be redirected back into the kitchen via a duct 

pipe through the overhead cabinetry.

CHARCOAL FILTERS

These are purchasable accessories.  One each is clipped to either 

side of the centrifugal motor and are designed to absorb and 

diminish cooking odours.  Periodic inspection is recommended 

before replacement.  They are optionally used for recirculation only.  

The activated charcoal filters are not to be washed.

DUCTING MATERIAL

Smooth internal walled duct pipe lengths ensure the most efficient 

air movement and quieter operation.  Consider either high 

temperature rated PVC or galvanised sheet metal piping.  The 

flexible ducting cab be ideal for a very short, tight run.
The rangehood’s air exit aperture is designed for 150mm (6”) 

ducting; however, a 125mm diameter (5”) adaptor can be 

purchased for optional use.

DELAY STOP

Ideally, a rangehood should run for several minutes after all cooking 

is ceased in order to drag through residual vapours and odours.  

By selecting the delay stop button at the end of the cooking, the 

rangehood will turn the motor off in five minutes as well as the lights if 

they were left on.

CLEANING PROMPT

After 30 hours use the LED window will prompt visually to inspect the 

grease filters for possible cleaning.  Simply use the Reset button to 

clear the LED window.

PERIPHERAL FILTER DESIGN
The K9998 FPX is distinguished by the broad one-piece stainless 

steel panel raked above the cooking area.  A peripheral gap 

surrounds this panel.  It is through this gap that the convected air 

is drawn at high speed towards the two concealed grease filters.  

The large stainless steel panel is easily unclipped for cleaning and 

access to the grease filters.
