GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR RANGEHOOD
SIZE MATTERS
CLEAN THE FILTERS
Always make the rangehood slightly wider than the cooktop.
Clean filters in the dishwasher.
This ensures cooking vapors are removed efficiently.
Use a ‘heavy wash’ cycle. Do not use detergent as it could react with the aluminimum
MORE EFFICIENT DUCTING RIGID IS BEST When possible, use rigid ducting. Semi rigid ducting isn’t as streamlined which can cause air pockets - ultimately affecting airflow efficiency and increasing noise.
GET THE TIMING RIGHT
IDEAL AIRFLOW
Start the rangehood 10 minutes before required.
Multiply the volume of your kitchen by ten to work out the ideal airflow.
BENDS MATTER
Leave it running for at least 10 minutes after use.
For a kitchen of 3m x 4m x 2.7m (high): (3 x 4 x 2.7) x10 = 324. In this case any Ikon rangehood with airflow equal or greater than 324 m3/h will easily do the job.
For every bend in your ducting, deduct one meter. Each bend will decrease airflow, so you’ll need to make the ducting shorter to compensate.
NEED FOR SPEED
TALK WHILE YOU COOK
THE RIGHT DISTANCE
Four to five speed rangehoods are quieter to run than three speed.

Higher extraction usually means more noise. Moving the motor away will solve this issue.
Maximum recommended ducting distance is 7-8 meters. Anything further will adversely affect the airflow efficiency
