Pre-Installation
Ducting Options
The method of ducting should be carefully considered before installing the rangehood. The guide below recommends
the ducting components to use for all common ducting configurations ‐ through the top of the home (for the roof and
eaves) and through the rear of the home. 150mm round ducting should be used in conjunction with this model
rangehood (not supplied). Alternatively this rangehood can be operated in recirculation mode.
Extra lengths and/or bends may be required, depending on the length required and whether there is any structural
material in the run e.g. rafters.
Please note that this chart is designed as a guide. Please consult Robinhood customer services if unsure.

Before drilling any holes check that the area behind the surface to be drilled is clear of any electrical cables,
pipes etc. The cabinet must take a weight bearing of at least 40kgs weight. Whenever possible protect the
Rangehood with a fabric sheet or similar.
When installing the rangehood, the lower edge of the unit must be a minimum of 650mm above hotplates.
Notes
: If the instructions for the cooktop specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account. Any installation
above 750mm will compromise performance.
