Control Panel

Insert the plug into the power socket. With a beep, all the buttons on the control panel light up last for about 1 second, and then go out.

• Power on/off

  • Touch the button, all the buttons light up with a beep (the button turns white, the fan speed buttons turn white low light, and the LIGHT button turns white low light) and the unit enters a power-on state.
  • Touch the button in the power-on state, all the buttons go out with a beep, and the unit enters the power-off state.

• Fan speed setting

  • In a power-on state, touch the button to set the fan speed with a beep. (the button turns white, the fan speed button being touched turns white highlight, and the fan speed buttons not being touched turns white lowlight). The fan speed can be switched between “LOW”, “HIGH” and “ULTRA HIGH” by touching the fan speed buttons.
  • When touching the fan speed button shows a white highlight in the working state of the fan, the fan will stop running with a beep.

• Ultra-high-speed
  In the standby state, touch the button, and the backlight of the button flashes with a beep. After the fan has been running for 3 minutes in ULTRA HIGH mode, the fan enters a running state of HIGH mode with a beep; touch the button again within 3 minutes, and the fan stops working with a beep.

• Light on/off
  Touch the button in the power-on/off state, the LIGHT turns on/off with a beep.

• Latency switch function
  Touch the button when the fan is on, the backlight of the button flashes with a beep, and the range hood starts to perform the “Power-off latency” function. The fan will stop running automatically after running at low speed for 3 minutes.
  And the LIGHT turns off at the same time.

  • If you change the fan speed during the latency, the fan will work at the speed you set, and the current latency function will be canceled. In this case, the LIGHT remains unchanged.
  • If you touch the button during the latency, the current latency function will be canceled and the unit will enter the power-off state. In this case, the LIGHT remains unchanged.

Cleaning and maintenance

Daily cleaning
To achieve the best operating performance and longer service life, this product must be cleaned and maintained frequently. Turn off the power before cleaning and maintenance. It is suggested that all surfaces be cleaned with a damp cloth (neutral detergent is applicable) to keep this product clean and tidy.

Tips

Installation method

Installing the unit
The suggested installation of the range hood is shown in the figure below:

The upper edge of the duct cover of the range hood shall be provided with a space of more than 350 mm to ensure that the smoke duct can pass smoothly.

Tips

• This product may have sharp edges. Do wear gloves when installing.
• The range hood shall be aligned with the center of a cooking stove.
• Do not install it in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
• Ensure that the gas can be discharged to the outside or common flue through the smoke duct.
• If you need to remove the control panel, the right side of the control panel should be left more than 25 mm space.

Installing the unit

1. According to Fig.1 (Drilling diagram for installation), use an electric impact drill to make 5 holes with a diameter of 10 mm and a depth of 53 mm at the corresponding positions on the wall where the range hood is installed, embed the plastic expansion tubes, and use 4 screws (Φ5×53) to fi x appliance hang board to the wall.

2. According to Fig.2, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove 8 self-tapping screws at the adapter and take out the sealing pad.

3. According to Fig.3, align with the screw holes and place the sealing pad and the adapter on the outlet in sequence after removing the adapter ring from the adapter. After aligning with the screw holes, use 8 self-tapping screws removed in step ② to fi x the sealing pad and the adapter to the unit.
   Note:

4. Be sure to remove the adapter ring. Otherwise, it is impossible to install the smoke duct.

5. The direction of the adapter after installation shall be the same as that shown in Fig.4.

6. According to Fig.5, take out the smoke duct and the short duct adapter (both have been fixed with aluminum foil tape), and keep the smoke duct in a compressed state. Pass the adapter ring from top to bottom through the smoke duct and the short duct adapter in sequence to the limit for use, and secure the above components using the four clips of the adapter ring to interlock them with the outlet seat. Connect the power supply, start the motor, and check if the two metal pieces are turned up. Turn off the range hood, and make sure that the two metal pieces drop down naturally.

7. Securely attach the unit to the appliance hang board with the unit inclined 1° or 2° to the wall, so that the hooks of the appliance hang board are fully inserted, so that the hooks of the appliance hang board are fully inserted. After installation, make sure that the range hood is not shaking or detached, and try to ensure that it is in a horizontal state. Stretch the smoke duct, extend it into the wall opening, or connect it to the common flue securely, and adjust the smoke duct to ensure that it is not bulging or compressed and that it bends freely. If the smoke duct is extended directly into the common flue, it shall not go too deep into the common flue, so as not to affect the exhaust effect; if the oil fume is exhausted directly to the outside, it is suggested that a shutter (available in hardware stores) be attached at the end of the outdoor smoke duct.

8. Insert the power plug into the socket securely. The power socket shall be a special one with a reliable grounding wire. Do not change the plug without permission.

9. As shown in Fig.6, use a screw (ST5×19) to fix the stop block on the wall through a plastic expansion tube to prevent the range hood from falling off vertically in case of an external force.

Installing the oil cup
Install the oil cup at the bottom of the unit.

After installation, tear off the protective film from the duct cover.

Test operation

After installation, turn on the power, press each function button on the control panel, and check the following items:

• Do the fan blades rotate properly?
• Is there any abnormal vibration or noise?
• Is each function button on the control panel working properly?
