Cooker hood installation height above the hob is the user’s preference. This cooker hood must be installed between the
minimum and maximum height limits indicated in the table above. Installation at the minimum height limit will improve
the efficiency of capturing cooking odours, grease and smoke. Installation at the maximum height limit improves user
ergonomics by offering increased head room.
* Induction Cooking Considerations
• Induction hobs use energy efficient technology that only heats the contents of a cooking pot.
• Unlike gas or traditional electric hobs, the surrounding air does not get heated when using an induction hob. As
a result, cooker hood filters, splashbacks and surrounding cabinetry do not get warmed up, increasing the
likelihood of condensation on these cooler surfaces.
• Other factors like ambient temperature, humidity, natural ventilation of the room, size of the cookware and how
the induction hob is being used also influence condensation. For example, aggressive boiling on high hob heat
settings like PowerBoost increases the rate at which water is evaporated, increasing the likelihood of
condensation.
• It is important to understand that neither the cooker hood nor the induction hob are faulty as a result of this
phenomenon.
Condensation can be minimised by:
• Installing the cooker hood at the maximum height above the hob as specified in this user guide.
• Using the cooker hood on a lower speed setting when boiling.
• Using the induction hob on a lower heat setting when boiling.
• Switching the cooker hood on 5 minutes before cooking and letting it run for at least 5 minutes after cooking.
Refer to the ‘Operating instructions’ section on how to use the timer function.
Venting Options
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
The cooker hood can be installed to operate with the exhaust air ducted externally from the kitchen, or installed to
operate with the exhaust air recirculating within the kitchen.
