INSTALLATION (Before You Start…)

1. Read this manual carefully and completely.
2. Chambers® range hoods conform to ETL/CSA standards. Check your local building codes for any additional requirements.
3. The appliance has been manufactured as Class I, therefore a ground connection is necessary. A 110/120V power cord with plug is provided. The range hood must be installed so that the plug is easily accessible.
4. This appliance has been designed for use in both ducted and recirculating modes, follow the appropriate installation method. (For recirculation mode a kit is required – not included. Contact Chambers® to determine if a kit is available for your hood.)
5. Your cooker hood can be connected as below by means of an extraction duct (enamel, aluminum, flexible pipe or inflammable material with an interior diameter of 6”.)
6. Before installation, turn the unit off and unplug it from the outlet.
7. The cooker hood should be placed at a distance of 2-3ft (Fig C.) above the cooking surface for best effect. Check your building code for min and max installation heights.

INSTALLATION (EXTERIOR VENTILATION):

When the range hood is in operation, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4×10-5 Bar)

1.  Drill 3 x 8mm holes to accommodate the bracket. Screw and tighten the bracket onto the wall with the screws and screw plugs provided. Ensure that you affix the bracket to a wall stud or mounting plate.
2. Lift the cooker hood and hang it onto the wall bracket hooks.
3. After hanging the hood on the bracket, remove the filters, mark 2 holes inside the hood for safety screws. After marking, remove the hood and drill two holes. Insert 2 pcs of Wall Plugs and finally fix the safety screws with 2 screws ST4x30mm
4. Fix the one-way-valve to the air outlet of the cooker hood. Then, attach the exhaust pipe to the one-way-valve as shown below.

CHIMNEY INSTALLATION

1. Place the upper chimney into the lower chimney.
2. Use 2 pcs ST4x8mm screws to attach lower and upper chimney together. Before attaching the bracket to the chimney, decide the location of lower chimney bracket fixing holes for fixing the lower chimney bracket in the later steps.
3. Do not over tighten the screws
4. Make sure the upper chimney can be telescopically adjusted after assembly.
5. Drill 2 holes to accommodate plate II. Screw and tighten plate II onto the wall with two screws and wall plugs provided. Slide the upper chimney up to the correct height and affix the upper chimney with plate II via 2 x ST4x8mm screws.
6. Fix the lower chimney with the hood with 2 screws ST4x8mm

INSTALLATION (RECIRCULATING)

If you do not have exterior access, an exhaust pipe is not required. A recirculating kit can be used to clean the air and trap odors.

1. To install the activated carbon filter, the grease filters should be removed first. Press down the locking tab to remove the filters.
2. Attach the activated carbon filter to the air intake and turn it in clockwise direction. Repeat the same on the other side.

NOTE: Make sure the filter is securely locked. Otherwise, it may become loose and cause damage to the range hood.

OPERATION

• On/Off button
• Low Speed button: It’s used for Ventilation on the kitchen. It is suitable for simmering and cooking which do not make much steam.
• Medium Speed button: Airflow speed is ideally for ventilation in standard cooking operation.
• High Speed button When high density of smoke or steam produced, press high-speed button for highest effective ventilation.
• Light button

MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning, switch the unit off and disconnect the electrical supply.

1. Regular Cleaning
   Use a soft cloth moistened with hand-warm mildly soapy water or household cleaning detergent. Never use metal pads, chemical, abrasive material or stiff brush to clean the unit.

2. Monthly Cleaning for Grease Filter ESSENTIAL: Cleaning the filters every month can prevent risk of fire.
   The filters collect grease, smoke and dust. If they are not cleaned regularly, the grease residue (potentially flammable) will saturate the filter and cause a reduction in airflow. Clean it with household cleaning detergent.

3. Annual Cleaning for Activated Carbon Filter
   This applies SOLELY to units that have been installed with a recirculating kit (no exterior ventilation.) This filter traps odors and must be replaced at least once a year depending on how frequently the cooker hood used.

4. Bulb Replacement

5.  Switch the unit off and unplug the appliance.

6. Remove the filter

7. Push the lamp from inside until it is pops out of the frame.

8. Release the connector on the cable

9. Replace the lamp and plug in the connector

10. Push the lamp from outside until it attaches to the frame.
