1.NOTICE
1. Thank you for choosing our cooker hood. Please read the instruction manual carefully before use.
2. The installation must be undertaken by a qualified and competent contractor.
3. The manufacturer disclaims all liability for any damage or injury caused as a result of not
following instructions for installation contained in the following text.
4. When installing the cooker hood, ensure that the following recommended distances are being
observed between the cooker top and the bottom of the cooker hood:
Electric cookers：600mm
Gas cookers：650mm
Coal/oil cookers：800mm
The cooker hood is used on 220~240v, 50/60Hz.
2.FEATURE
1. The cooker hood uses high quality materials, and is made with a fashion design.
2. Equipped with a low noise electric motor and centrifugal fan, it produces strong suction, low noise,
non-stick grease filter and easy to clean.
3. With the isolated low voltage circuit board control, 12VDC input, the lights are therefore safer.
4. Special wind tunnel construction, and free dirt will be absorbed in a second.
3.INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage, read all the instructions and make
sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the rating plate are
exactly the same as the voltage and frequency in your home. The rating plate can
be found behind the grease filters.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of the installer failing to observe all the
accident prevention regulations in force, which are necessary for normal use and the regular
operation of the electric system.
3.1. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
YOUR COOKER HOOD IS INTENDED FOR FITTEDAND PERMANENT
INSTALLATION.
The power cable must be connected to the terminals marked L (live) and N (neutral) in the hood
and fixed with a cable clamp.
The cooker hood’s power cable must be fitted upstream from the electrical connection, using an
omni-polar switch with a contact distance of at least 3mm.
3.2.G INSTALLATION
Check that the product purchased is of suitable size for the chosen installation area.
Carry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the cooker hood.
Ensure that all electrical connections are carried out by a suitably qualified person.
Before commencing installation of the cooker hood the grease filter should be removed.
Check inside the product and ensure that there is no transit packaging or any other materials,
such as packets of screws, guarantee etc. These should be removed and kept for future use.
If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slot-in cookers from their position, to provide
easier access to the rear wall and ceiling. If this is not possible, then a thick, protective covering
should be placed over the worktop, hob top or cooker. This will help to protect these surfaces
from damage and debris.
Select a flat surface for assembling the cooker hood. Cover that surface with a protective
covering and place all cooker hood parts and fittings on it.
In addition check whether there is an electrical socket available, which will be accessible after
the hood is mounted. If you are going to use the appliance in extractor mode, you should also
ensure that there is space to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside.
Raw plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls and ceilings. However a
qualified technician must verify the suitability of the materials, in accordance with the type of
wall and ceiling. The wall and ceiling must strong enough to take the weight of the hood.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. This appliance is designed to be surface
mounted only.
3.3. INSTALLING YOUR COOKER HOOD
IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE INSTALLATION YOUR
COOKER HOOD WHETHER TO USE IT IN EXTRACTION MODE OR
RECIRCULATION MODE. PLEASE TURN TO PAGE 8 NOW TO UNDERSTAND
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THERES TWO MODES.
The cooker hood should not be exposed to a direct heat source from the cooking device underneath it,
i.e. naked flame from a gas burner or heat from electric hob zones without a pan on them.
We recommend that at least two people install this hood.
The lights on this appliance should only be used during operation of the cooker hood. They should
not be left on permanently and used as a lighting source.
IMPORTANT: YOUR COOKER HOOD SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO YOUR MAINS
SUPPLY AFTER THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
-------Installation for Side suction:
1) Remove the metal grease filters (as shown above).
2) Position the hood against the wall that you are intending to install it
and mark the position of the support holes that are to be drilled.
3) Using a drill bit with an 8 mm diameter, make holes in the wall on the
positions that you have marked in step 2, and insert raw plug
②
into the holes that you have drilled(as shown on the right).
4) Screw the hook into the wall at Hole B.
5) Put the range hood on the wall which will install the product,
then mark the position of safety screw and fixing screw, in
order to facilitate drilling (picture ⑤). The two gourd
shaped holes upper the product are for fixing screw. The two
circular holes lower the product are for safety screw.

6) Connect the check valve onto the top of the chimney section. And then connect the ducting hose to the
check valve.
The other end of the ducting hose should be connected to your discharge outlet that is suitable for
cooking vapors. It should have a cross section of at least 150 ㎡.
The maximum distance between the check valve and your discharge outlet should be 3 meters, with
one 90 degree bend.
7) Install the Chimney Section C and Fixing Bracket E
Connect the Chimney Section C and Fixing Bracket E. Put the bottom part of this coupling on the
cooker hood. Mark the fixing holes between the bracket and wall with a pencil. And remove the
Chimney Section and Fixing Bracket E.
Using a drill bit with an 8 mm diameter make holes in the wall on the positions that you have
marked, and insert raw plugs. Screw the chimney section and bracket fixing into the wall tightly.
4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
④
IMPORTANT: BEFORE CLEANING, MAKE SURE THE POWER IS CUT OFF,
AND UNPLUG THE PLUG FROM THE OUTLET.
4.1.CLEANING
Clean the external parts of your cooker hood with mild liquid detergent and new damp cloth.
Never use abrasive powder, corrosive solvents or brushes.
Never insert pointed objects into the cooker hood’s protective grid.
Only clean control panel and grease filter with mild liquid detergents and a new damp cloth.
If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then be sure to replace the carbon filter at
the recommended interval (see section on “Fitting the carbon filter”). A build up of grease could
cause a fire hazard.
Never attempt to clean the area above the grease filters.
Your cooker hood includes a grease filter which helps to absorb grease particles to protect your
kitchen & furniture from greasy residues.
To prevent this fire hazard, the filter should be cleaned regularly.
Depending on use, this should be done every 10-15 days or at least once a month, using hot
water and normal washing-up detergent.
DO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTER INA DISHWASHER.
4.2.MAINTENANCE
First remove the grease filter by pulling down on it.
Undo the side catches.
Soak the grease filter in hot water and washing up liquid for about
an hour.
Rinse them off thoroughly with hot water.
Repeat the process or change the grease filter if required.
Refit the grease filters once they have dried.
IMPORTANT: LET THE GREASE FILTERS DRY THOROUGHLY BEFORE REFITTING
THEM IN THE COOKER HOOD.
4.3.CHANGING A LIGHT BULB
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB,
YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE COOKER
HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.
Remove the grease filters；
Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down；
Find the light fixture which is inside the exposed section of the canopy.
Unscrew the light bulb that needs to be replaced and separate the power supply quick joint
terminal of the light bulb.
Check the model and parameter of new light bulb newly installed. Connect the power supply
quick joint terminal. And replace the old light bulb.
IMPORTANT: Defective bulbs should be replaced immediately.
If the lights still do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted
properly into their housing before you call for technical assistance.
Refit the grease filters.
4.4.FITTING THE CARBON FILTER
If the appliance is being used in recirculation mode then it is necessary to fit carbon filters. This will
help to absorb unpleasant odors caused by cooking.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FIT OR REMOVE THE
CARBON FILTERS, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE
DISCONNECTED THE COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.
1. Remove the grease filters.
2. Hook the carbon filter over the pins that are located at the end of
the motor.
3. Turn the carbon filter anticlockwise, until you feel it click into place.
Repeat this process for the second carbon filter. You need to place a carbon filter at either end of
the motor.
Refit the grease filters.
The carbon filters should be replaced every three months of if they show signs of damage.
4.5.EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION MODE
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation modes?
To get optimum performance form your cooker, the air will be taken out of the room via external ducting.
Unfortunately if you live in a flat or the hood is too far from an outside wall, this may not be possible.
The only alternative is to recirculate the air.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter, and passed through a charcoal filter for
purification. The air then re-enters the kitchen via an opening in the hood.
What is a charcoal filter and do I need one?
All cooker hoods have a grease filter but if you are using your cooker hood in
recirculation mode, then a charcoal filter must be fitted in addition to the grease filter.
