INSTALLATION

If you have an outlet to the outside, your cooker hood can be connected as belowpicture by means of an extraction duct (enamel, aluminum, flexible pipe or nonflammable material with an interior diameter of 150mm)

1. Before installation, turn the unit off and unplug it from the outlet.

2. The cooker hood should be placed at a distance of 65~75cmabove the cookingsurface for best effect.

3. Drill 5 φ8mm holes on a suitable place to accommodate the hook and insidechimney bracket once the installation height is fixed, and keep it in line. Thefixedposition of the inside chimney bracket is the highest place of chimney. Seepic2.

4. Screw and tighten the hook onto the wall with the 3pcs screws (4 x 40 mm) andwall plugs provided.Then use 2 pcs ST4*40mm screws to fix the inside chimneybracket. See pic 2.

5. Install the expansion pipe to the outlet and fixed by cable tie. Please notetheexpansion pipe is not included in the product.See pic 3.
   

6. Fix the outside chimney bracket on the outside chimney, and be sure that theinsidechimney can be adjusted the height in it freely.See pic 4

9. Before usage, read all the instructions and make sure that the power ratingof thecooker hood matches the power rating of the supply

HINTS FOR EXHAUST DUCT INSTALLATION

The following rules must be strictly followed to obtain optimal air extraction:

• Keep expansion pipe short and straight.
• Do not reduce the size or restrict the expansion pipe.
• When using the expansion pipe always install the pipe pulled taut to minimizepressure loss.
• Failure to observe these basic instructions will reduce the performance andincrease noise levels of the cooker hood.
• Any installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
• Do not connect the ducting system of the hood to any existing ventilationsystemwhich is being used for any other appliance ,such as warmer tube, gas tube, hot wind tube.
