Installation Instructions

Pre-installation Notice
The range hood must be installed and repaired by authorized qualified technicians. Before installation, plug in and check if all switches are functional.

• Installation Environment
  For efficient air extraction, avoid opening too many windows surrounding range hood for this will cause air convection which prevents cooking fumes from rising to 25 cm (the effective suction / exhaust area).

• Height of Installation
  The appliance should be positioned 700 ± 50mm above the cooking range. A distance that is near 700mm results in higher venting efficiency (Fig A).

• Keep the Hood Level
  The installation of the hood should remain level, in order to prevent oil from spilling over from oil collectors (Fig B).

• Installation Method
  Drill holes in the wall according to the distance between the 2 mounting brackets and the diameter of the 2 holes on the mounting bracket. Install the anchor screws in the holes. Fix the range hood onto the screw and secure with nuts.

• Length of Exhaust Pipe
  The connection opening at the top of the range hood must be connected to the exhaust pipe for exhausting fumes to the outdoors. Exhaust pipe of 4, 5, 6 inches in diameter should be used. The length of the exhaust pipe should be minimized to avoid air turbulence inside the pipe (Fig C).
