Height of wall canopy

The wall canopy is designed for 2440 mm high ceilings. The chimney is telescopic and is designed for wall canopy installations between 650 to 750 mm above the cooking surface. Ascertain the desired installation height of the wall canopy.

Any installation above 750 mm will compromise the extraction performance.

The air outlet from the motor requires 150 mm round ducting which requires a 160 mm (min) diameter hole in the ceiling.

Ducting options

Recirculation

For recirculation, please purchase a recirculation kit (part no. RR1744). The recirculation kit is required to channel the air out through the side-vents at the top of the flue.

Note: a ducting hole is not required in the wall or ceiling if a recirculation kit is fitted.

Ducting

For ducted installation, it is recommended that you use 150 mm diameter, rigid or semi-rigid ducting. This will require a 160 mm (min) round hole in the ceiling, which the decorative chimney will cover. Care should be taken to align the canopy with the decorative chimney allowing sufficient clearance to accommodate the ducting.

For optimal efficiency, use smooth-wall, solid galvanized or plastic ducting for reduced noise and increased airflow. Flexible ducting should only be used as a last resort (ie in difficult installations) and if used, ensure that it is pulled tight.

The smoother, straighter and shorter the ducting the quieter and more efficient the wall canopy will perform.

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.

Preparing the wall canopy for installation

Please read the instructions carefully before installing the wall canopy.

Remove the filters from the canopy to allow access to wall mounting holes. To remove the filters, pull the relative catch, tilting it downwards until it disengages from the supports. Reverse these instructions when refitting the filters.

Prior to drilling any holes, check that the area behind the surface to be drilled is clear of any electrical cables or pipes etc.

Stainless steel/Iridium is very easily damaged during installation if abraded or knocked by tools. Whenever possible, protect the cooktop with cardboard or the like, to prevent damage

on installation.
