Safety Information

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended. If you have any questions, contact the distributor or importer.
2. Please carefully read this guide before installing or using this product. Save this guide for the local electrical inspector’s use.
3. This range hood has a thermally protected system for the motor, which will shut down automatically if the motor is overheated. If the overheat protection trips, disconnect the power and wait for 15 minutes for the motor to cool down.

INSTALLATION SAFETY INFORMATION

1. The installation instructions in this manual are intended for qualified persons (S).

2. Your installation must comply with all applicable local codes and standards.

3. Grounding instructions:
   This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the duct cover to prevent back drafting. Follow the guidelines and safety standards, such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

5. Old ductwork should be cleaned or replaced if necessary. Check and properly tape all joints on ductwork to ensure proper connections.

   • DANGER: Tum off the power circuit breaker or the power switch on the junction box before installing or servicing this unit Touching circuitry inside the range hood while it is energized will result in death or serious injury.

Installation

INSTALLATION DRILLING AND LINING

1. Mark a vertical centre line (1) on the supporting wall up to the ceiling, or as high as practical, at the centre of the area where the hood will be installed.
2. Mark a horizontal line (2) above the range at the preferred distance between 24 to 36 in (607-762 mm). Consult the user manual of your range if so required.
3. Position chimney mounting bracket(C) on the wall as shown about 1 in (25.4 mm) from the ceiling.

MOUNTING THE HOOD

Warning:
For drywall or plaster walls, mounting screws must be secured to wooden wall studs or a support structure directly (without supplied anchors) or using fastening hardware appropriate for your wall type.

• Due to the size and weight of this range hood, the supports must be firmly attached to the wall. For drywall or plaster walls, the range hood must be attached to a wooden wall stud. If this is not possible, a support structure must be built behind the plaster or drywall (preferred).

1. Using a 3/8 in (9mm) drill bit, enlarge the pilot holes and insert the plastic wall anchors (BB) into the wall along the line that is 10 inches (254mm) above the horizontal line (2). Insert screws and leave a 0.25-inch (6.4mm) gap between the wall and the back of the screw head to slide the range hood into place. Ensure the screws and anchors (AA and BB) are parallel with the horizontal line (2).
2. Hook the hood body(A) onto the screws( AA and BB) mounted onto the wall and securely tighten the screws( AA and BB) to secure the hood body(A) on the wall.
3. Install two additional hood body mounting screws (AA) into the auxiliary mounting holes to secure the hood body (A) in place.

CONNECTDUCTWORK

FOR OUTDOOR VENTING ONLY

CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of fire, metal ductwork is preferred. (Flexible duct is included.)

• Attach an adequate length of flexible duct (included) on the top of the outlet adapter.
• Check and properly tape all joints on ductwork to ensure proper connections.

1. TELESCOPIC CHIMNEY ASSEMBLY
   • Chimney Bottom: Carefully slide the chimney bottom (D) down outside the chimney top (E) partly, and then carefully place the chimney bottom (D) into the recessed area of the hood body (A) top.
   • Chimney Top: Ensure the chimney mounting bracket (C) is securely attached to the wall. Raise the chimney top (E) inside the chimney bottom(D). Secure the chimney top (E) to the chimney mounting bracket (C) with chimney mounting bracket screws (CC) from two sides.
2. Decide where the flexible duct (included) will run between the hood and the outside.
3. Please note that a straight, short duct will allow the hood to perform more efficiently.
4. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Larger ducting may be required for better performance with longer duct runs.
5. The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
6. Install a roof/wall cap. Connect metal ductwork to the cap and work back towards the hood location. Check and properly tape all joints on ductwork to ensure proper connections. (The roof/wall cap should be sourced locally).

INSTALLING CHARCOAL FILTERS FOR INDOOR VENTING ONLY

1. Install the charcoal filters(included).
2. Please note that the air will flow out from the two grids on the two sides of the chimney top.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• WARNING: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the service agent or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.
