BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
This manual explains the proper use of your new InAlto rangehood. Please read this manual carefully before using the product. This manual should be kept in a safe place for handy reference. This rangehood (cooker hood) is a domestic appliance which has been manufactured and tested to comply with Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 60335.2.31.
This rangehood must only be installed in accordance with the instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to persons, damage property and void the product’s warranty.
Read the following carefully to avoid damage or injury.
IMPORTANT: Check for any damage or marks. If you find the appliance is damaged or marked, you must report it within 7 days if you wish to claim for damage/ marks under the manufacturer’s warranty. This does not affect your statutory rights.
WARNING: Follow these instructions carefully to avoid an electric shock or fire.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the cooker hood.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Ensure the cooker hood is switched off before carrying out maintenance, to avoid any possibility of electric shock. 
• Never carry out flambé cooking under the cooker hood.
• This cooker hood is not suitable for use over barbecues.
• This cooker hood cannot be installed for external use- only to be installed indoors.
• The Aluminium grease filters must be removed every four weeks (at a maximum) for cleaning to reduce the risk of fire.
• The exhaust from the cooker hood must not be discharged into any heating flue, which may carry combustion products from other sources. (Figure 1)
• Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity, unless the cavity is designed for the purpose.
• There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable that only discharge the air back into the room).
• Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
• There must be adequate ventilation of the room when the cooker hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• Your new rangehood is guaranteed against electrical or mechanical defects, subject to certain exclusions that are noted in the Warranty Terms and Conditions (at the rear of this user manual). The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights.
• Always cover lit gas burners with pots or pans when cooker hood is in use.
• Always switch off gas burners before you remove pots or pans.
• Do not leave lit gas burners exposed due to the risk of fire. (Figure 2)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Check that the mains voltage matches with the voltage on the data plate inside the cooker hood. Check that the installation complies with standards of local building, gas and electrical authorities. Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate inside the cooker hood.
WARNING: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING: All electrical work must be done in accordance with local and national electrical codes as applicable and should be undertaken by licenced and qualified persons only.
SAFETY WARNINGS – FOR THE INSTALLER
When installing the cooker hood, make sure you adhere to the minimum and maximum distances from the cooker hood base to the cook top surface (as per table on page 10)
Exhaust flue installation:
The following rules must be strictly followed to obtain optimal air extraction.
• Keep exhaust flue short and straight.
• Do not reduce the size or restrict exhaust flue.
• Keep bends in the exhaust flue to a minimum; the more bends the lower the extraction performance.
• When using flexible flue always install duct with helix pulled taut to minimise pressure loss.
• Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the cooker hood.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity, unless the cavity is designed for that purpose. The exhaust from the cooker hood must not be discharged into any heating flue, which may carry combustion products from other sources.
NOTE: Some installations may require the expandable/telescopic ducting to be cut to length. Cut with sharp tin snips or a fine-tooth hack saw blade, taking care not to distort or dent the exhaust cover. Where using expandable ducting, it’s important to have the ducting fully taught to maximise efficiency of the airflow.
UNPACKING
During transportation, protective packaging was used to protect the appliance against any damage. After unpacking, please dispose of all elements of packaging in a way that will not cause damage to the environment.
All materials used for packaging the appliance are environmentally friendly; they are 100% recyclable and are marked with the appropriate symbol.
CAUTION: During unpacking, the packaging materials (polythene bags, polystyrene pieces, etc.) should be kept out of reach of children.
DISPOSAL OF THE APPLIANCE
Old appliances should not simply be disposed of with normal household waste and should be delivered to a collection and recycling centre for electric and electronic equipment. A symbol shown on the product, the instruction manual or the packaging shows that it is suitable for recycling.
Materials used inside the appliance are recyclable and are labelled with information concerning this. By recycling materials or other parts from used devices you are making a significant contribution to the protection of our environment.
Information on appropriate disposal centres for used devices can be provided by your local authority.

Installation Instructions
WARNING: Before starting the installation, please refer to the Safety Information section.
• 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
• 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.
• 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.
IMPORTANT: Never use a silicone around your rangehood or flue pieces. Never install the rangehood or flue pieces into the plaster ceiling which prevents easy access to the rangehood for servicing requirements.
IMPORTANT: Before installing your rangehood, please record the details of your rangehood’s rating label (located within the rangehood, behind the aluminium grease filters) into the form on page 15. This will be helpful should you need to contact our service team in the future.
DUCTED INSTALLATION
Before beginning the installation of your rangehood, consider your ducting method.
This rangehood has been supplied with expandable plastic ducting, however for maximum performance we recommend installing with rigid or semi rigid ducting. Use cable ties or suitable duct tape to secure the flexible pipe or ducting to the rangehood duct outlet.
WARNING: All ducting must be fire retardant.Depending on your situation, there are multiple options for ducting your rangehood, as follows:
• Straight up through your tiled or metal roof, using a roof cowl (not supplied with the rangehood).
• Into your ceiling cavity (where compliant with local and national building regulations/codes. Seek approval from the relevant authority or building inspector where necessary.
• Into your ceiling cavity and then vented to the atmosphere through your eaves, using no more than 2 x 90 degree bends within
the ducting run.
• Through your wall.
IMPORTANT: Ducting can have a major effect on your rangehoods performance. The following tips outline how to correctly duct your rangehood.
• Always use the correct size ducting. This rangehood is designed for use with 150mm ducting to achieve optimum airflow performance and minimised noise.
• For maximum performance use semi rigid or rigid ducting
• Always use non-flammable ducting
• Always duct to the outside atmosphere, unless your local building codes and regulations permit otherwise• Where using flexible ducting, always install the ducting pulled taut to minimize pressure loss, and cut any excess ducting off.
• Where possible, avoid using 90 degree bends and in their place use multiple 45 degree bends.
• Keep your total length of ducting to the shortest length possible.
• Ensure there are no kinks in your ducting.
• Use cylindrical ducting whenever possible
RECIRCULATING INSTALLATION
We recommend ducting your rangehood wherever possible, for the maximum performance, however this rangehood can be operated in recirculating mode. You will need to purchase the relevant Carbon Filter accessory which is available for purchase from our After Sales Service Team.
POSITIONING THE RANGEHOOD
• The typical installation method for your undermount rangehood is into a purpose built overhead/wall cabinet.
• Double check the tape on the vent has been removed.
• Using a jigsaw, create the required cut-out for your undermount rangehood, as per the measures dimensions in the table on page 8.
• 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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Check that the installation complies with the standards of local building, gas and electrical authorities. Before connecting your rangehood to the mains supply, ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate inside the cooker hood.
INSTALLING THE RANGEHOOD
• The hanging clip is used for clipping the rangehood on cabinet. Release the screws on the hanging clip before installation.
• Put the rangehood into the cabinet.
• Pull out the clip until it can reach the cabinet.
• Screw the clips until tightened.
NOTE:
• These steps should be operated by 2 persons.
• The clips can not be too near by the cutting edge. Or it may cause a fall risk.
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.
Using Your Rangehood
CONTROLS
Your Rangehood features touch controls with four speed levels of extraction.When the rangehood is powered, the ‘1’ button would appear illuminated. This indicates the rangehood is now in standby mode. Press any of the keys to begin operation.
SPEED SETTINGS
1 Short press the ‘1’ button. The rangehood will operate at low speed. Ideal for cooking with lower steam emissions such as slow cooking or simmering, and boiling with closed pans.
2 Short press the ‘2’ button. The rangehood will operate at medium speed. This is the ideal standard intensity for a normal cooking environment.
3 Short press the ‘3’ button. The rangehood will operate at high speed. This is the ideal high intensity cooking such as grilling, intensive frying, wok cooking, stir frying, etc.
B Short press the ‘B’ for Boost button for the rangehood to operate at maximum intensity for an intensive airflow. After 5 minutes of operation, the rangehood will automatically low the intensity to setting 3 automatically.
LIGHT
Short press the ‘Light’ button and the LED panel lights will turn on. To turn the lights off, simply push the ‘Light’ button again.
Long press the ‘Light’ button and the LED light panel will turn on for 5 minutes of operation. After 5 minutes, the motor will turn off automatically.
Maintenance & Cleaning
CAUTION:
• Before maintenance or cleaning is carried out, the rangehood should be disconnected from the main power supply. Ensure that the
cooker hood is switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed.
• Stainless steel is susceptible to scratches and abrasions, so please follow the cleaning instructions to ensure the best possible result
is achieved without damage.
• The instructions within this manual must be followed to avoid a fire risk.
• Keep the motor and other spare parts free from water, as this will cause damage to the appliance.
ALUMINIUM GREASE FILTER
• To remove the Aluminium grease filter, use a finger to pull the small locking latch on each filter to release it from the rangehood body. Be careful, as the filter can easily drop down once released and scratch or damage your cooktop.
• Your aluminium filters can be washed by hand in warm soapy water. For stubborn grease stains use a soft nylon brush to help
remove these stains. After cleaning, allow the filters to completely dry before refitting into your rangehood.
CAUTION: We do not recommend washing the Aluminium filters within a dishwasher. This can damage the filter and cause a discolouration of the filter.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
Clean stainless steel surfaces using non-abrasive cleaning products that are specifically for use on stainless steel. To ensure best results also use an even pressure and follow the grain of the stainless steel. Use of a soft cloth reduces the risk of scratching. If the cloth is wet, ensure that a dry soft cloth is used to wipe down the surface again reducing the risk of any surface rust appearing.
CONTROL PANEL SURFACE
The control panel can be cleaned using warm soapy water. Ensure the cloth is well wrung before cleaning. Use a dry soft cloth to remove any excess moisture left after cleaning.
CHANGING A LIGHT GLOBE
The LED lights should not require service. If there is an issue with a light, please contact our After Sales Service Team.
CHARCOAL FILTERS
If your rangehood has been installed in recirculating mode, you should be using the Charcoal Filter accessories available for purchase separately. These filters can not be re-used or cleaned and as a general rule the activated charcoal filter should be replaced every 3 months (or more frequently depending on the amount and type of cooking you do).
To order a replacement filter, please contact our After Sales Service Team.
Troubleshooting
OPERATION IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
In the event of an emergency you should:
• Switch off all rangehood controls.
• Switch the rangehood off at the power outlet and immediately unplug.
• Call After Sales Support.
Some minor faults can be fixed by referring to the instructions given in the table below.
IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears to be operating incorrectly, then you should disconnect it from your electrical supply and then contact After Sales Support.
WARNING: Do not attempt to repair the rangehood yourself.
Please note that if an engineer is asked to attend whilst the product is under warranty and finds that the problem is not the result of an appliance fault, then you may be liable for the cost of the call out charge.
The appliance must be accessible for the engineer to perform any necessary repair. If your appliance is installed in such a way that an engineer is concerned that damage will be caused to the appliance or your kitchen, then they will not complete a repair. This includes situations where the rangehood has been tiled in or sealed in with a sealant.
Please refer to the conditions of that appear on the warranty card at the rear of this user manual.
