Safety and warnings
■■If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
■■To comply with electrical safety regulations, this canopy must be connected to a socket near the appliance. The socket must be accessible, or have an accessible isolating switch, to enable the end user to isolate the canopy from the power for the purpose of internal cleaning or maintenance.
■■A power outlet should be within 750 mm of the motor assembly and can be either on the wall, behind the chimney or in the ceiling.
■■Always switch the power off prior to installation, servicing or cleaning the wall canopy.
■■Ducting accessories are not supplied. All ducting must comply with local requirements and building codes.
■■Before connecting any pipes, consult municipal ordinances to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air are adhered to and request permission from the person in charge of the building.
■■Exhaust air must not be discharged into an existing flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
■■There must be adequate ventilation of the room when the wall canopy is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels. (A partial vacuum in the room could result in too high a concentration of gas in the air).
■■When the canopy is turned on at the same time as other appliances powered by energy other than electricity, the air outlet must not be greater than 4 Pa
■■The minimum distance between the cooktop surface and the filters of the wall canopy shall be 600 mm, or 650 mm if installed over a gas cooktop.
■■Stainless steel is very easily damaged during installation if abraded or knocked by tools. It is recommended to protect the top of the canopy with cardboard or polystyrene during the installation to minimise the risk of damage occurring.
