FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
This rangehood should be turned on for a few minutes before cooking in order to
establish air currents upward through the rangehood. This will also enable hotair
removal from your kitchen and keep the rangehood surface cool. When heat, smoke,
moisture, grease and cooking odours are produced, they will be carried outside instead
ofdrifting into other rooms.
Use the low fan speeds for normal use and the higher fan speeds for high heat,
strongodours or fumes.
Rangehood width
The rangehood width is recommended to be no less than the width of the cooktop.
A wider rangehood can be used to increase the capture area if space is not restricted.
The rangehood should ideally be centred above the cooktop for proper performance.
Induction cooking considerations
Induction cooktops use energy efficient technology that only heats the contents
of acooking pot. Unlike gas or traditional electric cooktops, the surrounding air
does notget heated when using an induction cooktop. As a result, rangehood
filters, splashbacks and surrounding cabinetry do not get warmed up, increasing
the likelihoodof condensation on these cooler surfaces. Other factors like ambient
temperature, humidity, natural ventilation of the room, size of the cookware
andhowtheinduction cooktop is being used also influence condensation.
Forexample,rapid boiling on high cooktop heat settings like PowerBoost increasesthe
rate at which water is evaporated, increasing thelikelihood of condensation. It is
important to understand that neither the rangehood northe induction cooktop are
faulty as a resultof this phenomenon.
Condensation can be minimised by:
Installing the rangehood at the maximum height above the cooktop.
Using the rangehood on a lower speed setting when boiling.
Using the induction cooktop on a lower heat setting when boiling.
Switching the rangehood on 5minutes before cooking and letting it run for
atleast5minutes after cooking. Refer to the ‘Delayed shut off’ section for
detailsonhowto usethe timed shut off feature of this rangehood.
Gas cooking considerations
Using a powerful gas cooktop or multiple gas burners operating at the same
timecancause the rangehood surfaces to become hot. This effect can be
reduced by:
– Using the maximum speed setting to enable hot air to be extracted quickly.
– Installing the rangehood at the maximum recommended height.
Consultthecooktop installation and user guide for details on the
installationheight of the rangehood.
