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.
