4. _n_. Operation _LH Section_ Push Button Control Panel Turn off the rangehood Low speed setting Medium speed setting High speed setting Turn on/off the lamp Speed Control This undermount is equipped with a 3 speed mechanical control. Speed control usage suggestions: • Low speed for simmering. • Medium speed for light cooking. • High speed for heavy frying or heavy cooking.
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 Baffles For this appliance to function effectively, regular maintenance is a must. • The function of the baffle is to collect the grease particles given off during cooking. • Clogged heavy oil deposits restrict airflow and may cause the motor to overheat and become a fire hazard. • Baffles 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 _n_.&_RH Maintenance Section_ Replacing the Light Bulb Danger Always switch off and disconnect the power cord before replacing any light bulbs. Failure to do so may cause serious injury. Please be aware that the light bulb will 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 clockwise, pull the light bulb down and remove it from the light holder.
6. _n_. Installation _LH Section_ 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.
_n_. _RH 6. Installation Section_ 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: • 650mm electric cooktop • 650mm 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.
6. _n_. Installation _LH Section_ Mounting Points for Body The diagrams below are a guide for all mounting points. SIDE VIEW FRONT VIEW Note: Please make sure all plastic protection on the rangehood and filters are removed before use. WARNING Please remove filters before installation. Failure to do so may damage the clips. DANGER Always switch off and disconnect the power supply before installing the rangehood. Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
FRON T VIE _n_. _RH 6. Installation Section_ W Installation Example Step 1 SIDE Back Draft Base VIE Please make sure the cut out size is correct before W installing the rangehood. SIDE VIEW Install the back draft base to the rangehood. TOP V IEW Cabinet Step 2 Secure the undermount into cavity usingBOscrews. T TOM V All screws are installed from the bottom of the IEW rangehood into the cabinet.
6. _n_. Installation _LH Section_ Ducting The ducting diameter MUST be 150mm. The overall length of the ducting should not be greater than 4 metres. 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 Adding Carbon Filters (optional) If you are using the appliance in the recirculation mode, a carbon filter must be fitted. • Detach the grease filter first. • Press the lock and pull it downward. • Plug the activated carbon filter into the unit and turn it in a clockwise direction. • Repeat the same on the other side. • Please ensure that the filter is securely locked, otherwise it can come loose and become a hazard. • When the carbon filter is attached, the suction power may be lower.
6. Installation Ducting Advice RECOMMENDED 1. 2. Straight ducting is the most effective installation 2. AVOID 1. Never reduce flue diameter right next to the rangehood outlet fitting. 3. Avoid excessive reduction of the flue size, as this drastically reduces extraction capacity. Page 18 Keep the curves or bends to a minimum. If they do exist, try to keep the angles as open as possible. Never fit reductions next to curves or bends in the installations.
_n_. _RH 6. Installation Section_ Roof Cowls / Roof Seal Kit WARNING All electrical wiring should be kept inside the roof space. 1. Roof Cowls (Not supplied)* 2. Flexible Ducting must be pulled taut. DO NOT crush or kink the ducting. 1 3. Connect flexible ducting to the outlet on rangehood using a ring clamp. Please DO NOT rip the ducting. 4.
7. _n_. Condensation _LH Section_ 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.
Check motor switch. Please ensure that there is power to the rangehood and the rangehood is switched on. Rangehood does not work X X Light does not work X Loud noise from the rangehood X Rangehood air suction is weak X Rangehood does not direct air out (through chimney) X X X X X Check Isodrive installation manual, make sure the flexi ducting is installed correctly, e.g. Length of ducting used, keep the ducting taut.
