Installation Instructions

Installation Safety
• WARNING: Before starting the installation, please refer
to the Safety Information section.
• Always switch the power off to the rangehood prior to
beginning installation or maintenance.
• The exterior surfaces can be easily damaged during
installation. Wherever possible, protect the rangehood
with a cardboard box, plastic or a towel.
• 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.
• All ducting must comply with building codes and local
statutory requirements.
• If you are re-circulating the air as opposed to ducting,
please ensure that the outlet grilles are not obstructed
in any way, as this will affect the efficiency of the
rangehood's extraction.
• Ensure that the rangehood is mounted in a level
position, both horizontally and vertically. This is essential
to ensure the rangehood operates correctly, preventing
lopsided grease build up at either 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.
Electrical Connection
• Always check that the method of 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 rangehood.
• Always wear proper protection during installation and
maintenance. All work must be carried out by a qualified
technician or similarly qualified person.
• IMPORTANT: Failure to install the appliance correctly
could invalidate any warranty or liability claims.

Ducted Installation
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. It may be necessary
to seek approval from the relevant authority or building
inspector where necessary.
• Into your ceiling cavity, and then vented through to the
atmosphere through your eaves, using no more than
2 × 90° 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, and ensure that it is
non-flammable ducting. For maximum performance Sôlt
recommends semi rigid or rigid ducting.
• This rangehood is designed to use Ø 150mm ducting
to achieve optimum airflow performance and minimal
noise during operation.
• To install a Ø 150mm air exhaust connection, insert the
reducer flange on the hood body outlet. Fix the pipe in
position using sufficient pipe clamps (not supplied).
• 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.
• Sôlt recommends you keep your total length of ducting
to the shortest length possible. Where possible, avoid
using 90° bends and in their place use multiple 45°
bends. Ensure there are no kinks in your ducting.
• For maximum performance Sôlt recommends using
cylindrical ducting whenever possible.
