Mounting to the cabinetry sides
When side mounting, the rangehood is fastened with countersunk screws and metal tubes through the plastic
sides of the rangehood into the wooden sides of the cabinet above the cooking area. The screws clamp the metal
tubes to the kitchen cabinetry and the rangehood effectively „floats‟ on the tubes. This method of installation
means that there are no undue stresses caused by the fasteners on the plastic sides.
Three mounting points are provided on each side of the rangehood for your convenience, it is important that all
three screws are used on either side to firmly secure your rangehood in place. If you use two screws per side it
is recommended that you also secure the rangehood with two screws from the top as per the instructions on the
previous page
When mounting to the cabinetry sides, please ensure the correct screws are used. These can be found in the bag
labelled “
SIDE FIXING
”. Before starting check the length of the screws with the thickness of the cabinet sides
and the length of the metal tubes to ensure the screws do not break through the sides of the cabinet.
PLEASE NOTE:
Using the incorrect screws for the installed mounting method or not using the metal tubes as
per these instructions may cause damage to the product. This damage may lead to failure of the side mounting
anchor points and this would not be covered by the warranty.
The recommended distance between the cabinet sides is 600/900mm depending on the model purchased. If the
distance is larger than recommended, you can eliminate any sideways movement by using packers or fixing from
the top as described earlier.
