Overview

This document is a user manual for Westinghouse canopy rangehoods, specifically models WRC914SD and WRC614SD. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, daily use, and maintenance, along with important safety information and warranty details.

Function Description:

The Westinghouse canopy rangehood is a domestic appliance designed to extract cooking fumes and odors from the kitchen. It can operate in two modes: external exhaust mode, where air is discharged outside, and recirculation mode, where air is filtered and returned to the kitchen. The rangehood features a control panel with fan speed settings (Fan Speed 1/Off, Fan Speed 2, Fan Speed 3), a light button, a Hob2Hood Indicator, and a Filter Notification Indicator. The Hob2Hood function allows the rangehood to automatically adjust fan speed based on the hob's settings and temperature, communicating via infrared signals.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Electrical Connection: The appliance must be plugged into its own dedicated 220-240V, 50Hz AC electrical outlet.
  • Minimum/Maximum Installation Heights:
    • Minimum: 600mm for electric hobs, 620mm for gas hobs.
    • Maximum: 800mm.
    • If the hob instructions specify a greater distance than the minimum, that distance becomes the minimum height for installation.
  • Ducting: Exhaust flue should be short and straight, with minimal bends, and its size should not be reduced or restricted for optimal air extraction. Semi-rigid flues should be installed taut to minimize pressure loss.
  • Lighting: The appliance is supplied with two LED Lights, which are replaceable by a technician only. The recommended replacement is a Square LED 700mA MAX 2.4W 3V 3000K, size 53mm x 53mm.
  • Safety Cutout Device: The product is fitted with a safety cutout device that may activate if the hood is installed too close to the cooktop, during flambe cooking, when operating the cooktop without utensils covering hot plates, or if filters are blocked.

Usage Features:

  • Fan Speed Control: Three fan speeds are available for different cooking intensities:
    • Fan Speed 1: Recommended for heating up food, cooking with covered pots, light frying, and light boiling.
    • Fan Speed 2: Recommended for cooking with covered pots on multiple cooking zones/burners, frying, and boiling.
    • Fan Speed 3: Recommended for boiling, frying large quantities of food without a lid, cooking on multiple cooking zones/burners, grilling, intensive frying, and wok cooking.
  • Light Function: A dedicated button illuminates the cooking surface.
  • Hob2Hood Function (Applicable Models Only): An automatic function that connects the hob with the hood. The fan speed is automatically defined based on the hob's mode setting and the temperature of the hottest cookware. The function can also be activated manually from the hob panel. Users are advised to protect the hood panel from direct sunlight and halogen light, avoid covering the hob panel, and not interrupt the signal between the hob and the hood.
  • Filter Notification Indicator: This indicator reminds users to clean the grease filter or replace the carbon filter.
  • Sound Profile: The sound profile can be activated or deactivated by pressing the 'Light' button for 2 seconds.

Maintenance Features:

  • Grease Filter Cleaning:
    • Each filter should be cleaned at least once a month.
    • To remove, press the handle of the mounting clip, slightly tilt the front downwards, and pull.
    • Clean filters with a sponge and nonabrasive detergents or in a dishwasher (low temperature, short cycle).
    • Grease filters may discolour in the dishwasher, but this does not affect performance.
    • To remount, follow the removal steps in reverse order.
  • Carbon Filter Replacement:
    • The carbon filter is non-washable and must be replaced at least every 4 months.
    • To access, remove the grease filters.
    • To remove, press the tab and slightly tilt the front of the filter.
    • To install a new filter, perform the steps in reverse order.
  • Filter Alarm Reset:
    • To reset the grease filter alarm, press 'Fan Speed 3' for 2 seconds.
    • To reset the carbon filter alarm, press 'Fan Speed 2' and 'Fan Speed 3' at the same time for 2 seconds.
    • The indicator flashes once for correct reset.
  • Light Replacement: LED lights are replaceable by a technician only.

The manual emphasizes the importance of reading all instructions carefully before installation and use to ensure personal safety, prevent damage to the appliance, and maintain warranty validity. It also provides contact information for customer care and service in Australia and New Zealand.
