Installation Instructions
It’s important to carefully read the following installation instructions before beginning the installation of your hood.
Important installation safety notes:
– Always switch the power off prior to beginning the installation.
– Stainless steel is very easily damaged during installation. Wherever possible, protect the rangehood with the cardboard box or plastic wrap during the installation.
– For safety reasons, this Rangehood must be earthed.
– A power point must be located within 1.5m of the power cord exit from the rangehood, and it should be always accessible to allow isolation from power during cleaning or maintenance.
– A 150mm round ducting adapter is supplied, however all other ducting accessories are not.
– All ducting must comply with building codes and local requirements.
– If you are re-circulating the air, rather than ducting, please ensure that the side outlet grilles are not obstructed in any way as this will effect the efficiency of the rangehood.
– Ensure that the rangehood is mounted in a level position, both horizontally and vertically. This is essential to ensure the rangehood operates correctly and prevents grease build up at one end.
Ducting options
Before beginning the installation of your rangehood, the method of ducting should be considered and selected. The guide below illustrates the various ducting options
Note: This rangehood can be operated in recirculation mode InAlto recommends to duct wherever possible.
Through your wall
Further to your various ducting options, below are some tips on how to correctly duct your rangehood:
– Always use correctly sized ducting – DO NOT reduce the size of the ducting
– Always use solid ducting
– Always use non-flammable ducting
– Always duct to the outside atmosphere
– Do not use flexible ducting
– Do not duct into the ceiling space- always vent to the outside atmosphere.
– Avoid sharp 90 degree bends as much as possible, use 45 degree bends instead wherever possible
– Duct to the outside atmosphere using the shortest duct run possible
– Use cylindrical ducting whenever possible
POSITIONING THE RANGEHOOD
• The typical installation method for your rangehood is into a purpose built overhead/wall cabinet.
• Using a jigsaw, create the required cut-out for your integrated rangehood, as per the measurement dimensions in the diagram on page 5.
• Make sure the cut-out is at least 35mm from the cabinet edge.
IMPORTANT: The height of the rangehood underside must be a minimum of 600mm* to a maximum 800mm from the top of your cooktop surface (for gas cooktops this is the top of the gas burner).
* If the installation instructions for your cooktop specify a greater distance than the minimum, then that shall be the minimum height for installation.
Installing the rangehood
– Determine your installation height , drill 3 holes to install the wall bracket with 3 x Wall Plugs and 3 x Screw ST4x30mm onto the wall ensuring that it is secured in a level position . (SEE Pic A)
– When finish, hang the hood onto the hook. (SEE Pic A)
– Attach the extensible 200mm tube to the hood. (SEE Pic B)
– Fix the chimney bracket with the chimney with 2 x Screw ST4x8mm (SEE Pic C)
– Attached the chimney to the hood , mark and drill 2 holes to fix the bracket on the wall . (SEE Pic D)
⚠️Important! . if you need the safety screws fixed into the hood,please mark , drill and tighten the hood with screw plug and screw (ST4mm X 30mm) ,you will need to remove the grease filters first.( See Pic E)
Warning: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.The warning shall be in the same part of the instructions that include details of how to mount the equipment.
Cleaning & Maintenance
By ensuring proper cleaning and maintenance of your rangehood, you can ensure that it will have a long and fault free operation.
Cleaning the grease filters
Keeping this filter clean will keep the rangehood extraction performance at an optimum. Please strictly follow the guidelines below.
– The grease filter mesh is made of high-density stainless steel. Please ensure you never use a corrosive detergent during cleaning.
– Method 1: Put the mesh into 40-50°C clean water with a small amount of regular dishwashing liquid, and soak for 2-3 mins. Wear gloves and clean with a soft brush. Please do not apply too much pressure, as the mesh is delicate and will damage easy.
– Warning! Your rangehood grease filters can not be washed in your dishwasher , or the protection coating would be cleaned away.
Cleaning the cooker hood
To protect the main body of your rangehood from corrosion or stains, the cooker hood should be cleaned with hot water with a non-corrosive detergent every two months. For stubborn stains or marks, you can try using a specific stainless steel cleaner available from most supermarkets.
Warning! Please do not use a corrosive detergent, or abrasive clothes, as it will damage the body.
– Keep the motor and other spare parts free from water, as this will cause damage to the appliance.
– Before cleaning the rangehood , always switch the power off at the outlet and unplug the rangehood.
– If your rangehood has a damaged plug or cord, please ensure your rangehood remains unplugged and contact the Residentia Support team for further assistance. Any electrical work should only be completed by asuitably licenced and authorised person.
– If you’re using a carbon filter, it should never be exposed to heat.
