POSITIONING THE RANGEHOODInstallation heights

Over gas and electric cookers, this rangehood is recommended to be mounted at a height of between 600800mm above the cooking surface.
Electric cooktops must have a minimum height of 600mm from the underside of the rangehood to the cooktop face.
Gas cooktops must have a minimum of 650mm from the burner to the underside of the rangedhood.
Over open flame grillers or barbecues, the Gas Regulations require the filters of the rangehood to be at least 1200mm above the cooking surface.

Installing the rangehoodThe typical installation method for your undermount rangehood is into a purpose built overhead/ wall cabinet.

Using a jigsaw, create the required cut-out for your undermount rangehood: 490mm (W) x 250mm (D).
Make sure the cut-out is at least 35mm from the cabinet edge. Please refer to Fig. 4 for the following points.
Remove the grease filter and remove the 4 screws on the fascia panel.
Screw the rangehood into the cabinet using 8 screws (supplied).
Re-fit the fascia panel with the 4 screws (previously removed).

Cleaning & Maintenance

By ensuring proper cleaning and maintenance of your Stirling rangehood, you can ensure that it will have a long and fault free operation.

CLEANING THE GREASE FILTERSKeeping this filter clean will keep the rangehood extraction performance at an optimum level. Please strictly follow the guidelines below.

The grease filter mesh is made of high-density stainless steel. Please ensure you never use a corrosive detergent during cleaning.
Method 1: Put the mesh into 40-50°C clean water with a small amount of regular dishwashing liquid, and soak for 2-3 mins. Wear gloves and clean with a soft brush. Please do not apply too much pressure, as the mesh is delicate and will damage easy.
Method 2: You can wash your rangehood grease filters in your dishwasher, however please ensure they aren’t washed at a temperature above 60° C degrees.

CLEANING THE COOKER HOOD

To protect the main body of your rangehood from corrosion or stains, the cooker hood should be cleaned with hot water with a non-corrosive detergent every two months. For stubborn stains or marks, you can try using a specific stainless steel cleaner available from most supermarkets.
Warning! Please do not use a corrosive detergent, or abrasive clothes, as it will damage the body.
Keep the motor and other spare parts free from water, as this will cause damage to the appliance.
Before cleaning the rangehood, always switch the power off at the outlet and unplug the rangehood.
If your rangehood has a damaged plug or cord, please ensure your rangehood remains unplugged and contact the our Support Team for further assistance. Any electrical work should only be completed by a suitably licensed and authorized person.
If you’re using a carbon filter, it should never be exposed to heat.

CHANGING A LIGHT GLOBEIn the event of a blown globe:

Disconnect the rangehood from the power supply.
Remove the filter.
Press down on the lamp from inside the rangehood to release the globe.

After replacing the globe, reverse the above steps to reassemble the rangehood.

CARBON FILTER (OPTIONAL)An optional carbon filter can be purchased separately and installed in your undermount rangehood. Normally the activated carbon filter should be changed every three to six months according to your volume of cooking. Activated carbon filter cannot be washed or recycled. The installation procedure of activated carbon filter is as below.

Remove the grease filters.
Insert the first activated carbon filter into the unit and turn it in anti-clockwise direction. Then repeat the same on the other side. (Fig. 6)
