Before Using the Cooker Hood

CAUTION: Before proceeding to the installation, check if items are missing or damaged, and contact the manufacturer. Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Have a qualified technician install the cooker hood. It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for improper installation and does not accept responsibility for the appliance warranty in the event of damage caused by incorrect installation.

COMPONENTS:

YOU WILL NEED THESE TOOLS FOR INSTALLATION

Prepare for Installation

Prepare for Installation:

• Ventilation Mode
  • Recirculation Mode: Recirculating with a carbon filter (required), the smells and odors can be filtered and vented through the top vented hole, and the exhaust pipe is not required.
  • Extraction Mode: You can install the 1.5m long and 150mm diameter aluminum exhaust pipe for extracting, which is included in the installation kit.
• When possible, use at least 60cm straight runs before any turns. Larger ductwork may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.
• Before installation, don’t connect the power.

Installation

Install the Hood（Extraction):

1. Remove all protective poly film from the hood and/or parts.
2. Recommend installation height: 65~75cm above the cooktop for best extraction.
   • Required height over gas hob: 750mm;
   • Required height over the electric hob: 650mm.
3. First, use a pencil to mark the installation position on the wall, then use a Measuring Tape to measure the height from the stove surface to the hood (the center point of the aluminum grease filter), and use a Spirit Level Ruler to maintain the level, then use a pencil to draw a horizontal line along the level.
4. Poke the 7 perforated positions on the 1:1 Installation Diagram, then align with the button line of the hood on the Installation Diagram with the horizontal line on the wall, then tape the Installation Diagram to the wall, and use a pencil to mark the perforated positions on the wall in the corresponding positions.
5. Determine the maximum chimney installation height according to the actual scenario and mark the chimney installation locations along the center line of the Installation Diagram.
6. Remove the Installation Diagram, drill the holes that have been marked on the wall with an Electric Drill (8mm drill), and hammer the Wall Plug into the wall.
7. Use three 4*30mm Screws to fasten the Wall Bracket on the wall.
8. Remove the aluminum grease filter and hang the hood on the corresponding hook of the Wall Bracket.
9. Use a Spirit Level Ruler to measure whether the hood is at a horizontal level, and use two 4*30mm Screws to lock into the safety hole position of the hood (not mandatory, according to the user’s wishes to choose whether to lock).
10. Tear off the tape from the air outlet.
    NOTE:
    • Make sure you remove the tape on the damper and check if the damper opens and closes freely, it makes noises, and the cooker hood will be shaking.
11. Install the Aluminum Exhaust Pipe into the air outlet and lock it with a Cable Tie; the other end of the Aluminum Exhaust Pipe will be pulled upward to the outdoors and lock it with a Cable Tie (Note: This step can be ignored if used as a recirculation mode with a carbon filter).
12. Use two 4*8mm Screws to fasten the Lower Chimney Bracket on the Lower Chimney.
13. Insert the Lower Chimney into the hood and fix it to the corresponding positioning hole with two 4*8mm Screws.
    Note: The power cord needs to go through the chimney and connect to the power.
14. Use two 4*30mm Screws to lock the Lower Chimney Bracket into the corresponding positioning holes on the wall.
15. Use two 4*30mm Screws to lock the Upper Chimney Bracket to the corresponding positioning holes on the wall.
16. Put the Upper Chimney into the Lower Chimney, and then pulled to the height of the Upper Chimney Bracket.
17. Use two 4*8mm Screws to assemble the Upper Chimney on the Upper Chimney Bracket.
18. Turn the LED lights on/off, and test whether the functions are working properly.

Carbon Filter Installation（Recirculation）:

1. A carbon filter can be used to trap odors.
   In order to install the carbon filter, the grease filter should be detached first. Press the lock and pull it down.
2. Place the carbon filter into the unit and turn it counterclockwise to lock it in place.
3. If the carbon filter needs to be replaced, please turn it in the clockwise direction.

NOTE:

• Make sure the carbon filter is securely locked.
• When the carbon filter is installed, the suction of the cooker hood will be reduced.
• The carbon filter should be changed every 2-4 months, depending on the conditions of use.

These filters are not washable and cannot be reused. Refer to the installation instructions included with the carbon filter.

STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING

Do:

• Regularly clean it with a cloth or rag soaked with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.
• You may also use a specialized household stainless steel cleaner.

Don’t:

• Use any steel or stainless-steel wool or any other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
• Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
• Let plaster dust or any other construction residue reach the hood. During construction/ renovation, cover the cooker hood to make sure no dust sticks to the stainless-steel surface.

Avoid when choosing a detergent:

• Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack stainless steel.
• Any products containing: chloride, fluoride, iodide, or bromide will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.
• Any combustible products used for cleaning, such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol, etc., are highly explosive and should never be used close to a range.

PAINTED FINISH CLEANING:

Clean with warm water and mild detergent only. If discoloration occurs, use a finish polish such as automotive polish. (DO NOT use a rough abrasive cleaner or porcelain cleaner.)

LED REPLACEMENT

• Rectangle LED lamp:
