OPTIONS FOR VENTILATION
This hood can be set up for either external venting or recirculation of the
air. The type of setup should be decided before commencing installation.
EXTERNAL VENTING
A 150mm diameter flexible pipe is provided which
allows the cooking odours to be extracted outside.
If this is the chosen installation method
consideration to the route of the vent pipe should
be made. The unit is also provided with an adaptor
allowing pre-existing 120mm ducting to be used to
vent the unit.
RECIRCULATION
This Cooker hood also supports the recirculation of
the air once it has passed through the filters. The
filtered air is then expelled through the vent holes in
the side of the chimney.
When setting the unit up in this configuration, carbon
filters should also be used to remove odours from
the air. Details of sourcing and fitting the filters can
be found in the Carbon filter section.
8
INSTALLATION
BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR HOOD:
• Unpack the hood and check that all functions are working. Ensure that the
voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the serial plate match the
voltage and frequency at the installation site.
• Check that the area behind the installation surface to be drilled is clear of
any electrical cables or pipes, etc.
• The surfaces of the hood are very easily damaged during installation if
grazed or knocked by tools. Please take care to protect the surfaces
during installation.
• Protect the hob surface with cardboard, or similar, to prevent damage
occurring whilst the hood is being installed above.
• The manufacturer shall not be liable for any failure to observe all safety
regulations in force for the correct and normal operation of electrical
products.
• Ensure the wall is level and the installation plates are horizontal to
prevent grease from accumulating within the hood.
• Ensure the power has been turned off at the mains before starting
installation.
• Connection to the mains supply must be in an accessible location.
• You may need the following tools to complete this installation:
• Drill appropriate for your wall
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Tape Measure
• Hand Saw or Jig Saw
• Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire rated construction.
INFORMATION
• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhaustion of gases
through the flue (chimney) for fuel burning equipment to prevent back
drafting. Ductless fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
• When assessing the air pressure, the entire ventilation system in the
house/apartment must be taken into account.
• All legal regulations must be observed for the conveyance of exhaust air.
If the extractor hood is used in recirculating mode with the optional carbon
filter, there are no operating restrictions.

1. Before installation, ensure you have not connected the appliance to the
mains supply.
2. The cooker hood should be placed at a
distance of 65~75cm above the cooking plane
for best effect.
• After confirming the cooker
hood height, measure the position of
the holes for hanging the hood and
inside chimney bracket. Drill 4 φ8
holes, 2 for inside chimney bracket
and 2 for hanging the hood, and
keep the hood level. The chimney
bracket should be secured at the
highest place of chimney.
• Screw two 4 x 30mm screws on the wall
with wall plugs to fix the hood, then use two
4mm x 40mm screws to fix the inside
chimney bracket. See Pic 2.
• Put the glass according to
the lead direction and way on
the cooker hood, and then
use the screws to fix the
glass. Install the outlet onto
the hood.
• Then attach the outlet,
converter and expansion
pipe (IF USING) as shown
below, and fix the pipe on the
converter by cable tie, then
lead the expansion pipe to
the wall outlet. See pic 3.
10
• Dress the inside chimney into the outside
chimney. See Pic 4.
• Make the hood hang on the wall in the
fixed position, adjusting the cooker hood
position, fix the cooker hood with safety
screws.
• The two safety vents are positioned
on the back housing, with diameter of
6mm.See Pic 5.
• Put the two chimneys together onto
the cooker hood body, meanwhile
adjust the height of the inside
chimney into the suitable height,
and fix the inside chimney to the
inside chimney bracket by screw,
here should be sure the inside
chimney can be flexed freely. See
Pic 6.
11
EXHAUST DUST INSTALLATION
The following rules must be strictly followed to obtain optimal air
extraction:
• Keep expansion pipe short and straight.
• Do not reduce the size or restrict expansion pipe.
• When using expansion pipe always install the pipe pulled taut to
minimize pressure loss.
• Failure to observe these basic instructions will reduce the performance
and increase noise levels of the cooker 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
warmer tube, gas tube, hot wind tube.
• The angle of the bend of the expansion 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 expansion pipe selected for installation complies with
relevant standards and is fire retardant.
