Warning:
Check that the installation complies with the standards of local building, gas and electrical authorities. Before
connecting to the mains supply ensure the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the appliance rating
plate inside the range hood.
When installing the range hood, make sure you adhere to the minimum and maximum distances from the range
hood base to the cooktop hob surface.
Hints for exhaust duct installation
The following rules must be strictly followed to obtain optimal air extraction
•
Keep exhaust duct short and straight
•
Do not reduce the size or restrict exhaust duct
•
When using flexible duct always install the duct pulled taut to minimize pressure loss
•
Failure to observe these basic instructions will reduce the performance and increase noise levels of the
range hood
Ensure the exhaust ducting selected for installation complies with relevant standards and is fire retardant.
1. Using a spirit level mark a vertical centre line on the wall where the hood is to be positioned, and a horizontal
line where the hood base will be.
NOTE: The distance from the horizontal line to an electrical cooktop underneath must be minimum of
600mm & 650mm to a gas cook top and a maximum height of 800mm (refer to table below).
*If the instructions of the hob specify a greater distance than the minimum above, then that shall be the minimum height for installation
