5. Depending on your preferred installation
and ducting mode, follow either step 5a (for
Ducted installation) or 5b (for Recirculating
installation) below.
5a. Ducted Installation:
This rangehood has been supplied with a
2m length of 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
5b. 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.
