STEP 6:
Refer to Part 2: Motor Installation Guide.
STEP 7:
Lift the stainless steel chimney into position and secure to the Ceiling Bracket with
the four (4) screws supplied. If the chimney is required to be shortened, new holes
may need to be drilled to secure the chimney cover.
STEP 8:
Attach the flexi-ducting to the top of the hood unit and fix into place with a stainless
steel clamp (provided).
STEP 9:
Lift and attach the hood unit to the base of the threaded rod with the provided nuts
and washers. Level the unit off by tensioning the 10mm nuts. Being mindful not to
over tighten. Minimise how much threaded rod is below the nut. Excess
threaded rod may interfer with the baffle filters.
STEP 10:
Feed any excess flexi-ducting back into the ceiling space ensuring that any excess
gathering of ducting is pulled tight. Loose and gathered ducting will reduce the
extraction levels.
STEP 11:
Attach the male power plug of the rangehood unit to mains power supply. Note to
electricians: Standard 10 Amp General Power Outlet (GPO) required. Position GPO
as close to the hood unit as possible.
INSTALLING THE GREASE TRAP AND BAFFLE FILTERS:
All WHISPAIR hoods utilise removable baffle filters and grease trap. This filtration
system is used to catch by-products such as grease and moisture from the air flow.
To install the baffle filters, simply locate the filter on the top ledge of the hood and
then slide the filter on a downward angle to rest in the channel of the grease trap.
Ensure the filter vane are aligned towards the rear of the hood.
Most by-products are captured and stored directly in the baffle filters however the grease trap may begin to fill when excess amounts of
grease and condensate build up in the filter vanes.
The grease trap can be removed for cleaning by removing the two (2) screw fixings in the channel.
To clean your baffle filters and grease trap please wash with warm soapy water or simply place in the dishwasher for convenience.
Please
note that the edge’s of the filters can be sharp and caution should be taken when removing or cleaning by hand.
It is recommended the baffle filters and grease trap are cleaned every 4 weeks to reduce the risk of fire.
