Installation Procedure
In order to secure the safe use of the range hood and maximize its ability to
ventilate cooking fumes, the installation height is suggested as follows: The
distance from the countertop of the gas stove to the top board of the range
hood shall not be less than 29 9/16″(750mm) and shall not be more than 32
1/2″(825mm). Where there are relevant laws stipulating the mounting height of
range hood in the state or region, the laws shall prevail ( Included but not
Ii mited to architecture and firefighting regulations and standards). However,
the effect of cooking fumes ventilation might be affected.
The range hood can be installed in three ways, either with or without the
upper cabinet. Caution:
- One of the wood screws(#1 0x2 9/16″(ST5x65mm)) for duct bracket must be fastened to the wooden beam.
- If it is necessary to drill the duct outlet at the back wall, the distance from the top plane of the range hood to the center of the hole should be at least 8″ (203mm).
Warning: Excessively low installation height can cause overheating of the glass panel, increasing the possibility of breaking.
Installation of the Fotile Range Hood with an Upper Cabinet: Warning: Do wear qualified protective gloves.
-
Unpack the appliance and check the List of Accessories.

Installation Instructions for the Decorative Cover Without Upper Cabinet
- Unpack the appliance and check the List of Accessories.
- Locate the wooden beam and mark the location with a pencil.
- Locate the duct bracket, safety buffer baffle and decorative cover bracket: Caution: one of the wood screws(#1 0x2 9/16″(ST5x65mm)) for main engine must be fastened to the beam.Screws must be fixed at hole A and B in the drawing; also wood screws(#1 Qx2 9/16″(ST5x65mm)) must be fixed at bracket bores with corresponding wooden stakes in area C.
Firstly determine the installation central point of the range hood according to the central point of the cooker, determine the bracket installation location based on cooker table and mark the place for drilling. The cooker table is about 27 7/8″ (708 mm) to 30 7/8″ (783 mm) away from the central point of bracket;
The location to install the safety buffer baffle should be 4 9/16″ (115.5 mm) to the left of the duct bracket and 2 5/16″ (58.5 mm) straight up. The location to install the decorative cover bracket shou Id generally be 29 15/16 ” (760 mm) above the central point of the duct bracket. If the distance between the ceiling and duct bracket equals to or is less than the value, secure the decorative cover bracket on the wall right under the ceiling. If the distance is more than the value, taller decorative covers (27 9/16″ (700 mm) and 35 7/16″ (900 mm) in height respectively) need to be bought separately. Embed the expansion tube in the punch marks: 1) Punch marks are on tiles (marble): Punch holes (<p3/8″(<p8mm)) with an electric drill at the marks, and embed expansion tube for tiles(<p1 /4″x1 5/16″(<p5.3x32mm)).
- Punch marks are on plasterboards: Screw the expansion tube for plasterboards(<p3/16″x 1 5/8″(<p4x40mm)) into walls with screwdrivers at the marks.
-
Secure the duct bracket and decorative cover bracket to the wall with corresponding screws and tighten the screws. Make sure the bracket is leveled.Caution: One of the wood screws(#1 Qx2 9/16″(ST5x65mm)) for the duct bracket must be fastened to the wooden beam.
-
Place the seal (notch downward) at the air outlet of the machine and fix the outlet housing with 4 outlet-housing bolts of #8×3/4″(M4x18mm). Fix four outer cover bolts of #8×7/16″ (M4x10mm) at the corresponding positions (The cover screws is provided in the accessory bag in the packing box of the decorative cover assembly.).
-
Remove the protective film of the stainless steel surface and Grease Cup at both sides of the range hood.
-
Lift and position the hood onto the mounting screws. Make sure the hood is stable and leveled by using a spirit level. Install the safety buffer baffle above the hood(The safety block is provided in the accessory bag in the packing box of the decorative cover assembly.). Caution: Two installers are required to ensure safe installation. Please install the safety stop as required. The main function of the safety stop is to prevent the range hood from being lifted up accidentally, which will cause it to unhook and potentially fall.
-
Secure the duct to the duct cover and seal the connection with aluminum tape.
Make sure the hood is leveled. Install the Grease Cup, and plug the appliance for a test run. Caution: Please run the machine and test if the smoke pipe leaks air after it is sealed with aluminum foil tape. The smoke pipe should be able to be straightened as much as possible. -
First, tear off the protective film on the decorative cover and fan cover, and put the decorative cover into the fan cover. Then take up the decorative cover and fan cover, hang the decorative cover on the decorative cover hook, lower the fan cover slowly, and push the decorative cover and fan cover inward until the fan cover is fastened to the corresponding cover screws.
