INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Venting requirements
IMPORTANT!
To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside.
Donotvent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics,
crawl spaces, or garages.
The range hood can be installed to operate with the exhaust air ducted externally
fromthekitchen or with the exhaust air recirculating within the kitchen.
External venting
For best results:
z
Use the shortest and straightest duct
route possible. Elbowsandtransitions
increase noise and reduce air
flowefficiency.
z
Use rigid or semi-rigid ducting 150mm
diameter with a 160mm (minimum)
round hole inthe wall or ceiling.
Note: In difficult installations where
flexible ducting is required ensure that
itis pulledtight.
Recirculating
This range hood can be installed to recirculate within
thekitchenwhere ducting externally is not practical.
Thecarbonfilters fit on the blowers within the cavity of
the range hood and absorb odours as they pass over the
filters. Theexhaust air then passes through the blower unit
andthediverter before recirculating back into the kitchen
fromthesidevents at the top ofthechimney.
Note: A ducting hole is not required in the wall or ceiling
wheninstalling a range hood to berecirculated.
To operate this range hood with the air recirculating the
followingis required:
z
Carbon filters (refer to ‘Parts and accessories’).
z
150mm ducting. The ducting diameter must match
thediameterorthe blower outlet.
z
150mm louvered vent.
