INSTALLATION OF THE UNDERMOUNT RANGE HOODS DIRECTLY INTO A CUPBOARD
Ensure that the cupboard is structurally sound, and is capable of carrying the weight of the range hood.
The range hood can be placed at a minimum of 600mm away from an electric cooktop, or 650mm
minimum from a gas cooktop. The unit is held to the cupboard via 8 screws (supplied with the unit).
Cut a hole in the cupboard bottom (RUES51 – 490mm x 265mm, RUES71 - 665mm x 265mm) which is at
least 35mm away from any edge. Remove the filter and lights from the appliance. Remove the 4 screws
holding the outer panel to the unit and remove the cover. Lift the appliance into the hole and check that it fits
correctly (no gaps, does not interfere with anything above it etc). Mark the hole positions with a pencil
remove the appliance and pre-drill the holes using a small drill bit. Place the appliance back into position,
line up the holes and fix into place using the 8 screws provided. Replace the cover & fix into position with the
4 screws and fit the filter. Fit the one way filter to the top of the unit.
The exhaust air vents through the one way valve at the top. If the exhaust is to be vented away, cut a hole
(~Ø160mm) in the top of the cupboard, and connect Ø150mm ducting to the one way valve & pass it
through the hole to wherever it is going. If the exhaust air is to be recirculated back into the room, either cut
vents into the cupboard (with a minimum area of 800cm²), or leave the cupboard door open when in use.
Once assembled in place, the appliance can be connected to the power supply.
