INSTALLING THE CHIMNEY
A rubber extrusion has been provided to hide any irregularities between
the chimney and the canopy/ceiling, it is fitted by simply pushing it over
the top and bottom visible edges of the chimney. This steel edge may be
sharp so care must be taken to avoid damage to fingers. If desired this
extrusion may be omitted from the assembly.
Remove the protective plastic film from the chimney. Prior to mounting
the chimney, determine the height required on the chimney. The height
can be adjusted by changing the screw on the back lip (dia.2). Do not
tighten the screws because the chimney needs to slide up when		dia.2

the screws provided .

Ascertain the desired installation height of the canopy. NOTE: Installation height ranges from 610 to 760mm (24” to 30”).

DUCTING: Ducting accessories are not supplied. The air outlet from the motor requires 150mm (6”) round ducting which requires 160mm (6~5/16”) diameter hole in the ceiling.

T h i s a p p l i a n c e must be positioned so that the electrical plug is accessible.

Care and attention should always be taken when cooking with oils, alcohol, etc, which give off flammable vapours. Pre-used oil is especially dangerous in this respect. Do not use an uncovered electrical grill.

Particular care must be taken with grease filters which must be periodically cleaned, at least every two months. Remove the grease filters and wash them either by hand or in the dishwasher using mild detergent.

Use lukewarm water and mild detergent to clean stainless steel/iridium components. In high humidity and coastal environments, cleaning should be carried out frequently. CAUTION: Never use abrasive or oil based liquid cleaners.
