SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Whilst this product is compliant with all safety requirements, incorrect or inappropriate use can lead to both personal injury and potential damage to property. Please read the contents of this instruction booklet thoroughly before fitting or using this appliance.

• 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.

• The unit must be connected to an earthed power supply.

• If venting externally, make sure the ducting has no bends sharper than 90 degrees as this will reduce the efficiency of the cooker hood.

• The cooker hood is for domestic use only and is not designed for commercial use. It should only be used for the purpose it was intended –to extract vapours and cooking odours.

• Do not flambé or use an open flame under the cooker hood.

• Do not try to use the cooker hood without the grease filters or if the filters are excessively greasy! They should be cleaned regularly (see “Maintenance”) or replaced as necessary.

• The extraction fan must be level to avoid grease collection at one end, as this could cause a potential fire risk.

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

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

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

• Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. It is not a toy.

• The plug must be accessible after installation for isolation in case of an emergency – or an appropriate fused switch if the unit is hard-wired to the mains via a spur.

• The minimum distance between the surface of the hob and the lowest part of the hood should be at least 65cm. A distance of between 65cm and 75cm gives peak efficiency.

• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
  When the hood is vented externally and used with appliances which burn fuel (e.g. gas, oil, wood) the area must be sufficiently ventilated to ensure safe operation. Fresh air must be allowed to freely enter the room to prevent a partial vacuum.

• A partial vacuum can starve the heating appliance of oxygen, impairing combustion. It can also prevent toxic fumes from leaving the room, or can cause fumes to be sucked into the room from outside.

• Safe operation is only possible when the partial vacuum within the working area does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved by ensuring air is able to enter the room from outside through a suitable sized opening which cannot be sealed during operation. A number of alternative solutions are available to ensure this. If in any doubt, professional advice should be sought.

• Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

• There is a potential fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.

• Clean your appliance periodically by following the method given in the chapter MAINTENANCE

• If used in recirculation mode, the charcoal filters trap odors and must be replaced at least once a year depending on how frequently the cooker hood has been used.

• For safety reason, please use only the same size of fixing or mounting screw, which are recommended in this instruction manual.

• Warning: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards

CAUTION: Accessible parts of the hood can become very hot during use with cooking appliances, whether in use or not, due to heat rising from the hob. Sufficient time should be allowed for the unit to cool before touching either the housing or the grease filters.

PARTS LIST

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, the outlet may be various according to different models and configuration. To mount the V-flap 1 you should:

1. Mount two half-parts “2” into the body “6”
2. A pin 3 should be top oriented
3. The axis “4” should be inserted in the holes “5” on body
4. 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 non-flammable material with an interior diameter of 150mm)

1. Before installation, turn the unit off and unplug it from the outlet.

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

3. After decide the cooker hood height, measure the position of the holes for the hanging hood , inside chimney bracket, outside chimney bracket and safety holes. Drill 8 φ8 holes and insert wall plugs into the holes. Fix the inside chimney bracket on the wall with 2pcs ST4 x 40mm screws. Screw 2pcs ST4 x 8mm screws in the hole for hanging the hood body and the screws installed should leave for 3-5mm out of the wall to hang the hood. The fixed position of the inside chimney bracket is the highest place of the chimney. See pic 2.

4. Install the converter, v-flap and expansion pipe onto the cooker hood. Fix the expansion pipe on the outlet with a cable tie. See Pic 3.
   Note: The expansion pipe is not included in the product. Hang the cooker hood onto the hook. See pic 4.

5. Install the outside chimney bracket onto the outside chimney with 2 ST4*8mm screws, here should be sure the inside chimney can be flexed freely. See Pic 5.

6. Fix the cooker hood with 2pcs ST430mm safety screws. Note: The two safety vents are positioned on the back housing, with a diameter of 6mm.Put the two chimneys onto the cooker hood, fix the outside chimney on the wall with 2pcs ST440mm screws and lead the expansion pipe to the outside. See pic 6.

7. Adjust the height of the inside chimney to the position of the inside chimney bracket and fix on it with 2pcs ST48mm screws. Fix the outside chimney onto the hood body with 2pcs ST48mm screws. See Pic 7.

HINTS FOR EXHAUST DUCT INSTALLATION

The following rules must be strictly followed to obtain optimal air extraction:

• Keep exhaust duct short and straight
• Do not reduce the size or restrict the exhaust duct
• When using the flexible duct always install the duct pulled taut to minimize pressure loss
• Failure to observe these basic instructions will reduce the performance and increase noise levels of the range hood.
• Any installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
• Do not connect the ducting system of the hood to any existing ventilation system which is being used for any other appliance, such as a warmer tube, gas tube, hot wind tube.
• The angle of the bend of the ventilation pipe should not be less than 120º; you must direct the pipe horizontally, or, alternatively, the pipe should go up from the initial point and should be led to an outer wall.
• After the installation, make sure that the cooker hood is level to avoid grease collection at on end.
  Ensure the exhaust ducting selected for installation complies with relevant standards and is fire retardant.
