5Drill holes and secure the rangehood to the wall. Depending on the wall type (concrete, drywall etc) drill/screw appropriate fittings in the two locations just marked. The rangehood should now be able to be hung on these bolts/ screws through the two keyholes in the hood.

6Create additional means of attachment. Keyholes alone are insufficient means of attachment. Drill two extra holes in the back panel, put screws in with an anchor (if required) to ensure proper attachment and fix the rangehood by these screws as well, as shown in Fig.6. Ensure all fixings are secure.

7If ducting externally, assemble and fit ducting as per manufacturer’s instruction.

Optional: If desired, the one-way butterfly valve can now be fitted to the exit opening of the rangehood by simply snapping the two pieces into place.

8Test the operation of the rangehood. Plug the rangehood in and test its operation on all speed levels. This will ensure that any imperfections in the installation, such as unwanted sounds or lack of suction can be addressed before the flue is in place. Over 95% of service calls are a result of faulty installation. Please be aware that in the event of a service call for a faulty installation, you will be charged as this is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

9Position and secure the flue. Secure the top mounting bracket at the highest possible point on the ceiling using a single screw through the supplied bracket.

Ensure all ducting is fitted and electrical connections are secured correctly and switched on. Place the bottom part of the flue onto the rangehood and slide the upper flue piece inside the lower piece so the tabs “hug” the folded edge of the flue.

Raise the upper part of the flue to the required height and, using the four screws supplied, secure the upper flue to the bracket on the wall.

Installation is now complete.

HC60PCIX2, HC90PCIX2 specifications

Fisher & Paykel has made a significant mark in the kitchen appliance market, and their range hoods are no exception. Among their popular models are the HC90PCIX2 and HC60PCIX2, both offering a blend of sophisticated design, cutting-edge technology, and robust performance.

The HC90PCIX2 model features a sleek and contemporary design, suitable for modern kitchens. With a width of 90 cm, it provides substantial coverage over larger cooking surfaces. Similarly, the HC60PCIX2 offers a more compact 60 cm size, ideal for smaller kitchens without sacrificing performance. Both models are constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and a stylish aesthetic that complements various kitchen decors.

These range hoods are equipped with powerful extraction capabilities, effectively removing smoke, steam, and odors from the kitchen. The HC90PCIX2 has a maximum extraction rate of up to 1,200 m³/h, making it suitable for professional cooking environments or large family gatherings. Meanwhile, the HC60PCIX2, with a slightly lower extraction rate, still excels in everyday cooking scenarios.

One of the notable features of both models is their advanced lighting system. Energy-efficient LED lights illuminate the cooking surface, enhancing visibility and making the cooking process easier and safer. Moreover, the intuitive controls allow users to adjust ventilation speeds and lighting settings effortlessly, catering to different cooking needs.

Both range hoods utilize a sophisticated ducted or recirculated installation option. The ducted option efficiently expels airborne contaminants outside, while the recirculated installation incorporates charcoal filters to clean and recirculate air within the kitchen, offering flexibility based on the kitchen layout and user preference.

In terms of noise levels, Fisher & Paykel has prioritized a quieter operation with these models. The sound insulation technology ensures that both the HC90PCIX2 and HC60PCIX2 operate at low decibel levels, maintaining a serene kitchen environment even during peak cooking times.

To sum it up, the Fisher & Paykel HC90PCIX2 and HC60PCIX2 range hoods are exemplary choices for anyone looking to enhance their kitchen with efficient, stylish, and advanced ventilation solutions. With their powerful extraction, contemporary design, and user-friendly features, they stand out as top contenders in the modern kitchen appliance market.
