Installation
Vent outside
Caution: 2 people are required to unpack
and handle the appliance, it is recommended that
gloves are worn.
Caution: The wall must be strong enough
to take the weight of the hood. Wall plugs are
provided to secure the hood to most types of
walls. However, a qualified technician must verify
the suitability of the materials in accordance with
the type of wall.
Do not tile, grout or silicone the appliance to the
wall. Surface mount only.
VENT OUTSIDE
If you have an outlet to the outside, your cooker
hood can be connected by means of a given
exhaust pipe or any suitable extraction duct
(enamel, aluminum, flexible pipe or inflammable
material with an interior diameter of 150mm)
yCarefully remove all packaging materials
including the foam base, dispose of correctly.
yBefore installation, ensure that the unit is
power off and unplug from the outlet.
1. The cooker hood should be placed at distance
of 65~75cm above the cooking plane for the
best effect.
2. Drill 3 holes to accommodate the wall bracket.
Screw and tighten the wall bracket onto the
wall with the screws (4mm x 38 mm) and wall
plugs provided.

3. Drill 2 holes to accommodate plate II. Screw
and tighten the bracket onto the wall with the
screws (4mm x 38 mm) and wall plugs provided.
The distance between the wall bracket and plate
II is suggested to be maximum 90cm.
Remark: Plate II is used to fix the chimney at
the end of installation. Therefore, it is
suggested that you refer to the whole
installation procedure to locate the proper
position of the plate II. The diagram at right is
for illustration only. Fixing the chimney to
wall plate is done at the end of installation.
4.Lift up the cooker hood and hang onto the wall
bracket hook.
5. Fix the one-way-valve to the air outlet of the
cooker hood by 4 screws (4mm x 8mm).
Remark: Sponge tape sometimes covers the 4
holes. If the 4 holes are located below the
sponge tape, simply insert the screw through the
sponge tape.
Then, attach the exhaust pipe onto the one-way-
valve as shown.
6. Place the rubber cushion into the holes of the
glass. Place the glass in appropriate position on
the top the cooker hood and fix with 4 flat end
screws (4mm x 22mm). In order to avoid the
glass cracking, please do not tighten the screws
too strongly. (Not applicable to model SY-3388A-
P-C-600)
When the hood is being used in extractor function,
ensure that the ducting is fire retardant and the
bends is not greater than 90 degrees as this will
reduce the efficiency of the hood.

identifying the terminals in your plug, and proceed
as follows:
The green & yellow wire must be connected to the
terminal in the plug that is marked with the letter E
or by the earth symbol.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal
that is marked with the letter N.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal

Care and Maintenance
General
Important: Always unplug the appliance from the power socket during cleaning and
maintenance.
Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive substances, soap, household cleaner, detergent or wax
polish for cleaning.
Regular Cleaning
Use a soft cloth moistened with hand-warm mildly soapy water or household cleaning detergent. Never
use metal pads, chemical, abrasive material or stiff brush to clean the unit.
Monthly Cleaning for Cartridge Filter
ESSENTIAL: Clean the filter every month can prevent any risk of fire.
The filter collects grease, smoke and dust so the filter would directly affect the efficiency of the cooker
hood. If not cleaned, the grease residue (potential flammable) will saturate on the filter. Clean it with
household cleaning detergent.
Annual Cleaning for Activated Carbon Filter
Apply SOLELY to unit that installed as a recirculation unit (not vented to the outside). The filter traps
odours and must be replaced at least once a year depending on how frequent the cooker hood used.
Warning: Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the appliance and replacement of
the filters may cause fire risks.
Light bulb replacement
1. Switch the unit off and pull out the plug first.
2. Wait until the light bulb is cooled down before
replacement.
3. Remove the chrome rims by turning in anti-
clockwise direction.
4. Pull out the halogen light bulb carefully and
replace by same type and same rated halogen
light bulb (12V G4 base 20W MAX).
