3. The location of the installation must have permanent ventilation openings.
4. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
5. It is strongly recommended that the hood be installed right over the exhaust air from cooking.
6. Do not install the outlet of the pipe in the wind direction, which can prevent the exhaust air from flowing backward.
7. To fasten the components for the exhaust outlet with screws. To ensure good ejection of exhaust air, the pipe must not be bent for too many times.

Way one:

• To install onto the wall drill 2 holes of Ø8mm in a suitable place according to the centre distance of the hole in the back of the cooker hood.
• Insert the nut into the holes.
• Insert the screws into the nuts and tight. Put the cooker hood onto the tightened screws.
• Fix the cooker hood with a safety screw. The two safety vents are positioned on the back casing, with a diameter of 6mm.
