warning

Risk of Electric Shock A defective appliance may cause electric shock. Never switch on a defective appliance. Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box in case of problems, and contact our authorized service center.
The range hood should be connected to a standard power socket with safe ground-ing. Midway connection, prolonged electric line, or multi-socket wiring may cause electric shock, overheating, and, in some cases, result in a fire. Installation of the range hood should be performed by professional electricians in strict accordance with the electricity standards and regulations of the local area. Before connecting the rod, turn off the power source and take appropriate measures to prevent the auto-closing of the power switch.
In order to prevent electric shock and/or other bodily injuries to persons, do not exceed 125V AC Input.
Do not install the range hood in a bathroom and/or a humid area. as this will significantly increase the risk of electric shock.
If a wire is damaged or defective, contact an authorized service provider or a qualified technician (provided by FOTILE) to replace the wire.
Do not change. stretch, knot, pressure, or squeeze the wire as any resulting damage can result in electrical and/or fire hazards.
Prevent water from coming into contact with the range hood’s electrical components, such as the motor, switch, and connector. Do not rinse the appliance wet, as electric leakage and/ or electric shock may occur.
Do not attempt to change the range hood’s Internal wiring system. Improper modifications and/or repairs to the internal wiring can result in bodily injuries to persons, electric shock, and/or a fire.
In order to avoid electric shock, remember to turn off the appliance’s power source before installation, cleaning, and/or maintenance service.
Avoid using high-pressure detergents and/or steam cleaners on the appliance, as they may result in electric shock.
Do not touch the plug or switch with wet hands. as an electric shock may occur.
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.
Improper grounding can result in electric shock.
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.

*Risk of Fire

In order to reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, we recommend ducting the air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, and/ or garages.
In order to prevent the risk of fire, the range hood should be operated and maintained in accordance with the instructions.
Hot oils may ignite and burn quickly. Never leave hot oils unattended.
Clean the hood’s oil cup at regular intervals, as leftover grease deposits may ignite.
Never operate the range hood without the filter.
Never work with naked flames close to the appliance. Do not install the appliance near a heat-producing appliance for solid fuel (e.g. wood or coal). There must be no flying sparks.
Avoid cooking with food products that produce flames under the range hood.
To Reduce the Risk of Cooktop Grease Fire:
1. Never leave the burner’s work unattended. Overflowing cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly in low or medium settings.
2. Always turn the hood on during cooking.
3. Cooking grease may stick on the surface of the kitchen floor, cabinet, vent duct, etc. Better cleaning regularly to avoid fire risk.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the pan support.

To Reduce the Risk of Injury to persons in the event of a cooktop fire, observe the following:

Smother flames with a lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department.
When the cooking utensil catches fire, switch off the range hood immediately. Effective extinguishing measures must be taken at once, such as covering the open flame with a metal cover, turning off the master gas valve, and keeping flammable substances from the open flame, etc.
Never pick up a flaming pan you may be burned.
Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels—a violent steam explosion will result.

■ Use an Extinguisher Only If:

You know you have a class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it.
The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
The fire department is being called.
You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

CFM Adjustment Technology
CFM Adjustment Technology (CAT)
Some local codes or regulations have limits on CFMs.
THE FOTI LE CAT function of the Pixie Air series enables the builders/installers/contractors to set the maximum CFM of no more than 400CFM. Or the consumers may prefer to enjoy more effective ventilation with a make-up air system.
Under CAT state and normal state (i.e., ex-fac tory state), the motor speeds corresponding to the airflow are as follows:

Air Flow	Speeds corresponding to different conditions
CAT Status	Normal Status
Boost	Function Failure
High	P2
Medium	P2
Low	P1

Operation Instructions:

Under normal state with the product in OFF state, press and hold the Illumination and Air Management, the indicators are constantly on.

For UQG3002, please turn on the power first and use a marking pen to mark the icon and slightly. 2. Press High Speed and hold for 3 seconds in 10s and the buzzer will sound a long beep:
If it’s UQS3001, the (‘)Air Management indica tor turns green.
If it’s UQG300 2, the Q Light Ring is displayed in green.
1. All indicators are out after 2s, the product will be in off mode .
2. The range hood is with CAT function. That is, the speed related to High/Boost is switched to P2(the same speed as Medium, less than 400CFM).
If no operation with the combination buttons in 10s, the range hood returns to the factory-set off state.

CAT Self-examination:
If you want to check whether the range hood is with CAT or not,

Under normal state with the product in OFF state, press and hold the Illumination and Air Management, the buttons are constantly on.
In the case of CAT state:
For UQS3001, the Air Management is constantly on in green, and the other indicators are constantly in white.
For UQG3002, the O Light Ring is constantly on in green, and the other indicators are constantly in white.
