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.
Venting options
