Ducted Installation
For maximum performance we recommend installing
with rigid or semi rigid ducting. Use cable ties or suitable
duct tape to secure the flexible pipe or ducting to the
rangehood duct outlet.
WARNING: All ducting must be fire retardant.
Depending on your situation, there are multiple options for
ducting your rangehood, as follows:
• Straight up through your tiled or metal roof, using a roof
cowl (not supplied with the rangehood).
• Into your ceiling cavity (where compliant with local and
national building regulations/codes. It may be necessary
to seek approval from the relevant authority or building
inspector where necessary.
• Into your ceiling cavity, and then vented through to the
atmosphere through your eaves, using no more than
2 × 90° bends within the ducting run.
• Through your wall.
IMPORTANT: Ducting can have a major effect on your
rangehoods performance. The following tips outline how to
correctly duct your rangehood.
• Always use the correct size ducting, and ensure that it is
non-flammable ducting. For maximum performance Sôlt
recommends semi rigid or rigid ducting.
• This rangehood is designed for use with 120mm ducting
to achieve optimum airflow performance and minimal
noise during operation.
• To install a Ø 120mm air exhaust connection, insert the
reducer flange on the hood body outlet. Fix the pipe in
position using sufficient pipe clamps (not supplied).
• Always duct to the outside atmosphere, unless your local
building codes and regulations permit otherwise.
• Where using flexible ducting, always install the ducting
pulled taut to minimize pressure loss, and cut any excess
ducting off.
• Sôlt recommends you keep your total length of ducting
to the shortest length possible. Where possible, avoid
using 90° bends and in their place use multiple 45°
bends. Ensure there are no kinks in your ducting.
• For maximum performance Sôlt recommends using
cylindrical ducting whenever possible.
Installation Instructions (continued)
Positioning the Rangehood
NOTE: When the rangehood and appliance supplied
with energy other than electricity are simultaneously in
operation, the negative pressure in the room must be not
exceed 4 Pa (4 × 10-5 Bar).
IMPORTANT: The height of the rangehood underside must
be a minimum of 650mm to a maximum 750mm from the
top of your cooktop surface (for gas cooktops this is the top
of the gas burner).
*If the installation instructions for your cooktop specify
a greater distance than the minimum, then that shall be
the minimum height for installation.
