CHIMNEY TYPE CAUTION The exhaust air from the chimney hood must not be discharged into a flue or chimney which is used for exhausting the fumes from other appliances burning gas or fuels. Please ensure that the regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air have been fulfilled. (SABS IE C60335-2-31) All models have the ability to either re-circulate the filtered air back into the kitchen, or to exhaust the filtered air through an outside wall or chimney pipe.
WALL MOUNTING • • • • • • Remove the aluminium grease filters (perforated plates) from the base of the hood. The hood must be mounted directly over the cooking area. The minimum distance between the cooking surface and the underside of the hood must be 650 mm. for electric cookers and 750 mm. for gas burners. Hold the body of the hood in position against the wall and mark the two keyhole and two retaining hole positions. Drill and fix four rawl plugs at the marked positions.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION Connect the appliance to a 15A 230V 50 Hz earthed wall socket. Switch off the power at the mains in the event of a fault or when cleaning the appliance. CONTROLS These at located at the left front corner under the hood. 3 2 FAN 1 HOB LIGHT OPERATION • • • • • Switch on the chimney hood prior to cooking. Select the fan speed you would require depending on the type of cooking being done. 3 for high extraction level, 2 for medium and 1 for low.
CANOPY TYPE CUPBOARD INSTALLATION With this type of installation, (and if the rear vent is not used), the venting hole at the top of the unit must be clear. Remove the perforated plate underneath the unit by loosening the knurled-headed screws on either side. Drill four suitably spaced 5mm. diameter holes through the top of the Cooker hood. Use these holes as a template to mark the bottom of the cupboard. Drill four holes of 5mm diameter through the bottom of the cupboard.
WALL MOUNTING Remove the filters so that the interior of the cooker hood and the keyhole slots are exposed. Hold the cooker hood in position against the wall and with a pencil mark out the location of the keyhole slots on the wall. Using a masonry bit, drill a hole at the top of each marked slot. Insert a rawl plug into each hole. Using pan-head screws with a head diameter slightly smaller than the bottom opening of the keyhole slot, insert the screws part way into the rawl plugs.
All models can re-circulate air or vent it through an outside wall. Select the venting mode before installing the cooker hood. OPTIONAL REAR OR TOP VENTING INSTALLATION When using the external venting mode, ensure that there is adequate ventilation of the room when the Hood is used above a gas or fuel burning appliance. Exhaust air must not be directed into a flue or chimney which is also used to extract fumes from a gas or fuel burning appliance.
MAINTENANCE • • • • • • • The Grease filter is located immediately above the perforated plate and is held in place by metal strips. The Grease filter must be washed every month in a solution of lukewarm water and washing liquid to remove accumulated grease and fats. Allow the filter to dry and re-fit it. Replace the Grease filter by a new one when washing is no longer effective. Replace the carbon filter by a new one when odour absorption is no longer effective.
