Rangehood installation height above the cooktop
is the user’s preference. This rangehood must be
installed between the minimum and maximum height
limits indicated in the table above. Installation at
the lower height limit will improve the efficiency of
capturing cooking odours, grease and smoke.
* Induction cooking considerations
●
●
Induction cooktops use energy efficient technology
that only heats the contents of a cooking pot.
●
●
Unlike gas or traditional electric cooktops, the
surrounding air does not get heated when using
an induction cooktop. As a result, rangehood
filters, splashbacks and surrounding cabinetry do
not get warmed up, increasing the likelihood of
condensation on these cooler surfaces.
●
●
Other factors like ambient temperature, humidity,
natural ventilation of the room, size of the
cookware and how the induction cooktop is being
used also influence condensation. For example,
aggressive boiling on high cooktop heat settings
like PowerBoost increases the rate at which water is
evaporated, increasing the likelihood of condensation.
●
●
It is important to understand that neither the
rangehood nor the induction cooktop are faulty as a
result of this phenomenon.
Condensation can be minimised by:
●
●
Installing the rangehood at the maximum height
above the cooktop as specified in this user guide.
●
●
Using the rangehood on a lower speed setting
when boiling.
●
●
Using the induction cooktop on a lower heat
setting when boiling.
●
●
Switching the rangehood on 5 minutes before
cooking and letting it run for at least 5 minutes
after cooking. Refer to the ‘Operating instructions’
section on how to use the timer function.
