This document is an installation and user manual for Chef Rangehoods, specifically models CRI514DB and CRI714DB. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance, along with important safety information and warranty details.

Function Description:

The Chef Rangehoods are indoor domestic appliances designed to extract cooking fumes and odors from kitchen environments. They are suitable for use in households and similar applications such as staff kitchen areas, farmhouses, hotels, motels, residential environments, bed and breakfast establishments, and catering or similar non-retail applications. The rangehoods can be configured for either ducted or recirculating installation. In ducted mode, they exhaust air outside, while in recirculating mode, they filter the air through optional carbon filters and return it to the room. The appliance features an extractor fan with multiple speed settings and integrated lighting to illuminate the cooking surface.

Important Technical Specifications:

Models: CRI514DB, CRI714DB
Power Cord: 1.2m with a 10A plug
Air Outlet Diameter: Ø 120mm (recommended for best performance)
Minimum Clearance (Electric Cooktop): 600mm
Minimum Clearance (Gas Cooktop): 650mm (or greater if specified by cooktop manufacturer)
Maximum Clearance from Cooktop: 800mm (beyond which effectiveness decreases)
Lamps: E14 5.5W maximum LED candle lamp (DBL-5.5-H-E14-35/102)
Ducting: Use 120mm round exhaust ducting for best performance. Flexible ducting should be installed taut to minimize pressure loss and noise. Keep ducting short, straight, and with minimal bends.
Electrical Connection: Mains voltage must match the voltage on the data plate. Installation must comply with local gas and electricity authority standards. Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
Standards Compliance: Manufactured and tested to comply with Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 60335.2.31.

Usage Features:

Fan Speed Selection: The rangehood offers multiple fan speeds (Low and High) to suit different cooking conditions. A slide switch is used to select the desired speed.
Lighting: An integrated light can be switched on and off to illuminate the cooking area.
Optimal Use: For best results, the rangehood should be turned on a few minutes before cooking begins and left on for approximately 15 minutes after cooking to ensure all odors have dissipated. A low speed is recommended for normal conditions, while a high speed is for more concentrated odors.
Ducting Options: Supports both ducted installation (exhausting air outside) and recirculating installation (filtering air through carbon filters and returning it to the room).
Non-Return Valves: Equipped with non-return valves at the air outlet to prevent backflow of air when the rangehood is not in operation.

Maintenance Features:

Grease Filter Cleaning: The mesh grease filters should be removed and cleaned every four weeks (maximum) to reduce the risk of fire. They can be cleaned by hand in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher (on the top shelf). Filters must be completely dry before refitting.
Carbon Filter Replacement (Recirculating Mode): Optional carbon filters are used in recirculating installations to diminish cooking odors. Their expected life is approximately 3 months, depending on usage frequency and cooking type. Carbon filters reduce the airflow of the rangehood and should be replaced as needed.
Surface Cleaning: The rangehood body and flue should be wiped with a sponge or soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water, then dried with a soft cloth. For stainless steel models, a stainless steel protector should be applied. Abrasive materials or oven cleaners should not be used.
Lamp Replacement: Lamps can be replaced by removing the filter and front panel. The manual specifies E14 5.5W maximum LED candle lamps. A silicone seal is part of the lamp assembly and must be replaced with a new lamp. Lamps should be tightened firmly into the socket.
Safety Precautions for Maintenance: Always ensure the rangehood is switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed before any maintenance or cleaning to avoid electric shock. Allow light bulbs to cool before changing them. Use both hands when removing and refitting filters and the front panel to prevent accidental drops. Wear gloves for protection against sharp edges during installation, maintenance, and cleaning.
Fire Risk: Failure to carry out cleaning in accordance with instructions poses a fire risk.
Ducting Maintenance: Flexible ducts should be installed taut to minimize pressure loss and noise. Regular checks of the exhaust ducting are not explicitly mentioned but implied by the need for proper installation.
