INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Venting options
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the
discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
The rangehood can be installed to operate with the exhaust air ducted externally from
the kitchen, or installed to operate with the exhaust air recirculating within the kitchen.
Ducted
For ducted installation it is recommended that 150 mm diameter, rigid or semi-rigid
ducting is used. This will require a 160 mm (min) round hole in the ceiling or wall. Care
should be taken to position the hole correctly.
For optimal efficiency use the shortest and straightest duct route possible and use rigid
or semi-rigid ducting for reduced noise and increased airflow. Flexible metal ducting
should only be used as a last resort (ie in difficult installations) and if used ensure that it
is straight and smooth and extended as much as possible.
Recirculating
Where ducting outside is not a practical option, this rangehood can be installed to
operate with the air recirculating. Carbon filters are required to remove odours from
the air before it is channelled through the ducting back into the room or overhead
bulkhead (refer to ‘Parts and accessories’ section). Ensure that the ducting outlet is not
obstructed, even a partial obstruction will restrict the efficiency of the rangehood.
