manual abstract
Please ensure that the appropriate electrical codes or prevailing local building codes and ordinances are adhered to. Ensure that the electricity supply is disconnected at source. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance. This appliance must be grounded. Connect to a properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15 amp circuit breaker. Electrical Supply This appliance requires 120V/60Hz, 3amp electrical supply – ensure an appropriately qualified person completes the electrical hook-up. The connection point for the electrical supply is at the top of the unit, therefore the electrical supply must be run down from the ceiling alongside the ductwork. All electrical and venting hook-ups must be in place before commencing installation of the hood-fan. I N S T A L L A T I O N Structural Preparation for the Hood Fan Installation The island hood weighs approximately 125 lbs. It is therefore imperative that a substantial structure is prepared in the ceiling to attach the range hood to. Ideally block off an area of at least 12”x12” between the ceiling joists using 2x4’s. Allow for a hole through the center of this blocking of at least 6” in diameter through which to pass the ductwork and electrical cable. The underside of the hood must not be closer than 30” from the cook-top 2 and ideally not higher than 32”above the cook-top. It is strongly recommended, at this point, that calculations and measurements be made and all planning and heights be finalized. You will need to fit the appropriate length of ducting to the hood fan before installing it to the ceiling. Planning should consist of a test assembly of the power unit and telescoping structure before attempting to mount everything to the ceiling. By following this test assembly you will be able to finalize the correct length of the assembly before mounting it to the ceiling. Test assembly should include actually attaching the following items together – refer schematic of components and “Fixing the main support brackets” below – Brackets A, B, C, power unit and deflector if re-circulating. This is also a good time to test the electrical functioning of the hood before it is installed. Before switching on the light or lights, ensure the tape holding the globes in place has been removed. The globes gets extremely hot and will very quickly burn the tape and discolor the globes irreparably. Do not switch on the lights with the hood flat on any surface as the intense heat will burn the surface and destroy the lamps. Connect a power supply to the unit and test all functions. Installation of the island hood consists of fixing the ceiling Bracket A substantial members in the ceiling. The bracket must be fixed to the frame by screwing through the ceiling into the heavy members inside the ceiling. This is critically important as the entire hood fan hangs from this position, and ceiling board alone will not support the weight of the hood fan. Discard the plastic wall plugs supplied for fixing the bracket to the ceiling – these are not appropriate for North American structures. Fixing the Main Support Brackets If the range hood will be fixed to drywall we strongly recommend that you discard the wall plugs and screws supplied. These anchors are only suitable for brick/masonry applications. We suggest the use of a more appropriate anchor system specifically designed for drywall Using Bracket “A” as a template mark the ceiling where the fixing screws “A” will be positioned – remember the correct orientation from above. Attach bracket “A” to the ceiling permanently. If re-circulating, attach the deflector to Bracket “A” before fixing it to the ceiling – refer schematic on page 5. The 2 brackets for the support of the chimney (Part A) is to be installed to Bracket A with the screws (C Figure.1) Fix the structure on the ceiling by inserting the 2 dowels Figure 1 3 Fix Bracket “C” to the power unit with the nuts and washers supplied (Items “A” on the schematic on page 5). Please ensure that the bracket is installed as shown to enable full access to the square plastic black box and the metal electrical junction box. Slide Bracket “B” over Bracket “C” (once again ensure full access to the plastic and electrical boxes is maintained) and fix it in place, at the previously calculated length using the machine screws denoted by items “B” on the schematic on page 5. Check that the plastic flaps at the exhaust outlet for the fan move freely and have not become jammed during shipping or whilst working with the power unit. Connect an appropriate length of ducting to the unit. Do not fix the ducting to the outlet with screws - use DUCT TAPE. Stand the assembled structure on a clean soft surface. Ensure the underside of the hood does not get scratched and slide the chimneys of the assembled structure from the top down as per the schematic on page 5. Ensure that the holes for fixing the decorative chimney are correctly orientated with the holes at the top of bracket “A”. At...
