it is important the ducting that carries the fumes away, be as short and as straight as possible.
When incorporating a rangehood in the design of a kitchen the following points need to be considered to
achieve the most benet from the rangehood.
1. Ducting from a rangehood carrying the exhaust air, should not exceed a length of three (3) metres.
2. For ducted installation we recommend using galvanised or similar metal type ue pipe. PVC pipe is not recom-
mended.
3. Ducting containing a 90° degree bend will encounter a loss in eciency of approximately 35%. Additional 90°
degree bends can cause losses of up to 15% per bend.
4. Ducting size should always comply with the manufacturers specication.
5. We recommend carbon lters be used when re-circulating the air into the room. There will be some loss of air
movement when carbon lters are tted.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking.
It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 15 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to
minimise cooking vapours and odours.
The proper function of the cooker hood is conditioned by the regularity of the maintenance operations, in par-
ticular, the active carbon lter.
• The aluminium grease lters capture the grease particles suspended in the air. The lters are therefore subject to
clogging according to the frequency of the use of the appliance.
In order to prevent a re hazard, it is recommended to clean the lters every 2 months by carrying out the fol-
lowing instructions:
- Remove the aluminium lters from the rangehood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid
detergent, leave to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
- The lters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
The aluminium lters may alter in colour after several washes. This is not cause for customer complaint nor re-
placement of panels.
