Installation instructions

Height of wall canopy

Where an electric cooktop is installed beneath the wall canopy, the distance between the top of the cooktop and the underside of the range hood must be a minimum of 600 mm and a maximum of 700 mm.

Where a gas fuelled cooktop is installed beneath the wall canopy, the distance between the top of the pot rests and the underside of the rangehood must be a minimum of 650 mm and a maximum of 750 mm.

Note: your relevant gas or local building authority may specify different height requirements. Care should be taken to comply with any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air.

Ducting options

Note: if you wish to have the flue run all the way to the ceiling, please ensure that you work your measurements out fully before attempting the installation. In some instances, extra lengths of flue or a customised flue maybe required. A 740 mm flue extension is available as an accessory part for use where ceiling height is above 2440 mm. (Part no. 791989)

Recirculation

For recirculation, please purchase charcoal filters, which are fitted in place of the aluminium filters supplied with the hood. The charcoal filters purify the air before allowing the air to return back to the kitchen through the air vents in the sides of the chimney flue.

Note: a ducting hole is not required in the wall or ceiling if the canopy is fitted with charcoal filters.

Ducting

For ducted installation, it is recommended that you use 150 mm diameter, rigid or semi-rigid ducting. To accommodate the 150 mm ducting, a ceiling hole should be carefully measured and cut out, 160 mm (min) in diameter, with a centre line 100 mm from the edge of the wall.

Efficiencies in the performance of your canopy are enhanced by the use of smooth, straight and short ducting options.

We recommend using solid, galvanised or plastic, smooth-walled ducting which helps to reduce noise and increase airflow.

The use of flexible ducting is not recommended. If there is no other option available, the flexible ducting must be pulled as tight as possible.

All ducting must comply with local requirements and building codes.

Note: we recommend an Easy Fit by Fisher & Paykel or a UNIDUCT ducting system, products that have been designed to expel air efficiently.
