This manual explains the proper installation and use of your cooker hood, please read it carefully before using even if you are familiar with the product. The manual should be kept in a safe place for future reference.

Never to do:

• Do not try to use the cooker hood without the grease filters or if the filters are excessively greasy!

• Do not install above a cooker with a high level grill.

• Do not leave frying pans unattended during use because overheated fats or oils might catch fire.

• Never leave naked flames under the cooker hood.

• If the cooker hood is damaged, do not attempt to use.

• Do not flambé under the cooker hood.

• CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.

• The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the cooker hood. (When the cooker hood is located above a gas appliance, this distance shall be at least 65 cm)

• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood or other cooking fume extractor, the operation of open flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not occur.

Always to do:

• Important! Always switch off the electricity supply at the mains during installation and maintenance such as light bulb replacement.
• The cooker hood must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions and all measurements followed.
• All installation work must be carried out by a competent person or qualified electrician.
• Please dispose of the packing material carefully. Children are vulnerable to it.

• Make sure the ducting has no bends sharper than 90 degrees as this will reduce the efficiency of the cooker hood.
• Warning: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards
• Warning: Before obtaining access to terminals, all supply circuits must be disconnected.

Always to do:

• Always put lids on pots and pans when cooking on a gas cooker.

INSTALLATION (VENT OUTSIDE)

MOUNTING OF THE V-FLAP

If the cooker hood does not have an assembled V-flap 1, you should mount the half-parts to its body.The images only show an example of how to mount the V-flap, because the outlet may vary according to different models and configurations. To mount the V-flap 1 you should:

• Mount two half-parts 2 into the body 6
• the pin 3 should be top oriented;
• the axis 4 should be inserted into the holes 5 on the body;
• repeat all the operations for the 2nd half-part

INSTALLATION

If you have an outlet to the outside, your cooker hood can be connected as below picture 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 .

2. The cooker hood should be placed at a distance of 65~75cm above the cooking surface for best effect.

3. Install the hook on a suitable place once the installation height is fixed, and keep it in line. The fixed position of the inside chimney bracket is the place of chimney. See pic 2.

4. Install the outlet on the cooker hood with 4pcs screws.Fix the outside chimney bracket on the outside chimney, and be sure that the inside chimney can be adjusted the height in it freely as well as fixing the expansion pipe. Afterwards, fix the outlet with screws and put the expansion pipe with the cable tie on the outlet. Then install the chimneys on the cooker hood. See Pic 3.
   

5. Put the cooker hood on the hook. See Pic 4.

6. Adjust the height of the inside chimney to the position of the inside chimney bracket and fix on it by screw, after adjusting the position, fix the body with safety screw. See Pic 5.

Note:the expansion pipe is not included in the product.

Electrical Installation

All installation must be carried out by a competent person or qualified electrician. Before connecting the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
