5. Cleaning & Maintenance Warning Always switch off and disconnect power before cleaning. Cleaning the Interior Clean the interior of the rangehood with a damp cloth and a neutral detergent or denatured alcohol. NOTE: Do not use denatured alcohol on the exterior of the rangehood. Do not clean the electric parts or the motor with liquids or solvents Cleaning the Exterior We recommended using a soft cloth, water and a liquid soap, rinsing it well and then drying it thoroughly.
5. Cleaning & Maintenance Filters For this appliance to function effectively, regular maintenance is a must. • The function of the filter is to absorb the grease particles given off during cooking. • Clogged filters and heavy oil deposits restrict airflow and may cause the motor to overheat and become a fire hazard. • Filters should be cleaned every 3-6 weeks or after 40 hours of use. • For induction cooktop, please aim to clean them at least every 10 days, depending on use.
5. Cleaning & Maintenance Replacing the Lights Danger Always switch off and disconnect power before replacing the lights. Failure to do so may cause serious injury. Please be aware that the light bulb may retain heat for a short period of time after being switched off. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Remove the filters from the rangehood. Gently turn light bulb anticlockwise, pull the light bulb down and remove it from the light holder.
6. Installation Rangehood Size vs Cooktop Size In addition to the size, the height of the rangehood above the cooktop is important to obtain the best performance. INADEQUATE Rangehood smaller than cooking zone ADEQUATE Rangehood same size as cooking zone OPTIMAL Rangehood larger than cooking zone Overhead cabinet Rangehood Installation position It is important to consider the benchtop and overhead cabinetry depth before installing the rangehood.
6. Installation Mounting Instructions It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that the rangehood be installed centrally over the cooktop. This will greatly improve its performance. Minimum height from the hob top surface to the underside face of the rangehood: • 600mm electric cooktop • 600mm gas cooktop Any installation above 800mm will compromise the extraction performance. Note: If the instructions for the gas cooktop specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account.
TOP VIEW 6. Installation SID SIDE VIEW Mounting and Fixing Points The diagrams below are a guide for all mounting points. Wall BOTTOM VIEW A SIDE VIEW SIDE Side VIEW View Front View FRONT VIEW Cabinet Mounting point A and B need to be tighten with slightly angled screws to pull the rangehood up tight to the cabinet. B Front SIDE VIEW Bottom View SIDE VIEW TOP VIEW These support screws insert from the bottom of the rangehood. These support screws insert from the inside of the cabinet.
6. Installation Installation Example FRONT VIEW BOTTOM VIEW Step 1 Insert support frame into cabinet. The support will only be needed in certain circumstances. NOTE: The support frame is not included. The requirement of a support frame is dependent SIDE VIEW on the type and location of installation. Please contact your installer for more information. SIDE VIEW Support Frame TOP VIEW Step 2 Secure support frame to inside of cabinet. BOTTOM VIEW Step 3 Secure the undermount into cavity using screws.
6. Installation Ducting Please DO NOT crush or kink the ducting. 1. Crushed or kinked ducting creates sharp corners that creates turbulence. This reduces the size and efficiency of the ducting, lowers extraction and may cause excessive noise. 2. Sweeping curves and taut ducting reduces resistance and turbulence. The airflow and extraction will be more efficient and stronger.
6. Installation System Overview 1. Isodrive® Motor 1 2. Roof Seal Kit (Dektite) (Not supplied)* 3. Support Straps (Not supplied)* 4. Attach Flexi Duct to Bell-Mouth Adaptor using ring clamp.

Flexi Ducting must be pulled taut. DO NOT crush or kink the ducting. 9.
7. Condensation Information Cooking with Induction Cooktops Cooking with an induction or similar cooktop, may produce condensation on the rangehood. Unlike basic electric or gas cooking, induction cooktops heat food and liquid instantly, which in turn, produces vapours rapidly. Because of this rapid process, the rangehood filters do not have enough time to warm, which increases the chance of condensation forming.
Please make sure there is no obstruction in ducting or with the back draft fins. Check the outlet, make sure it is not blocked and you have the correct diameter ducting installed. X X X Rangehood does not direct air out (through chimney) X X Rangehood does not work X X Light does not work X Loud noise from the rangehood X X X Check the ducting has not come off the rangehood outlet or has been eaten through by rodents.
