This rangehood is designed for undercover alfresco areas. Important: Inspect the product for damage upon receipt and report within 48 hours. Do not install if damaged. The minimum installation height from the BBQ surface to the rangehood is 1200mm. Always ensure the rangehood is installed by a qualified technician.
Description
The rangehood consists of the main body, flue, baffles (grease filters), lights, and remote control. The system requires an Isodrive motor (sold separately or as part of the kit) for operation.
Operation
The rangehood features a touch button control panel and a remote control. Functions include:
- On/Off: Press the button to turn on. Press a second time for a 10-minute auto-shut-off timer. Press a third time to turn off.
- Speed Control: 5-speed touch control.
- Lights: Dedicated button to turn lights on/off.
- Remote Control: Includes power, speed adjustment, auto-speed toggle, light control, and a 10-minute timer.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Regular maintenance is essential for safety and performance.
- Baffles (Filters): Clean every 3-6 weeks or after 40 hours of use. For induction cooktops, clean at least every 10 days. Wash by hand in hot water with detergent or in a dishwasher on a short, low-temperature program. Ensure they are completely dry before re-installation.
- Exterior: Clean with a soft cloth, water, and neutral liquid soap. Do not use abrasive products, chemical solvents, or alcohol.
- Replacing Lights: Switch off and disconnect power. Remove filters, turn the light anti-clockwise to remove, and insert a new light by lining up the pins.
Installation
Installation must be performed by a qualified technician.
- Wall Mounting: Use the primary and secondary mounting points to fix the rangehood securely. Ensure the holes are level before installation.
- Ducting: Do not crush or kink ducting. Use sweeping curves to reduce turbulence and noise.
- Isodrive Motor: Refer to the specific Isodrive motor installation guide for details on motor setup, whether roof-mounted or wall-mounted.
Troubleshooting
Before contacting service, ensure the unit is plugged in and powered. If the rangehood does not work, check the power supply and motor switch. If extraction is weak, check for obstructions in the ducting and ensure filters are clean. Never attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
Specifications
The rangehood operates on 220-240V 50Hz. Lighting consists of 4 x 3W LED lamps (ILCOS Code: DRR-3-H-GU10-51/55). Dimensions vary by model; refer to the specific dimension diagrams for CL8912S/CL8915S and CL7372S/CL7375S.
