(1) NOTICE
•Thank you for choosing an Award range hood. Please read the instruction
manual carefully before use.
•The installation work must be undertaken by a qualified and competent
person.
•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.
•The range hood operates on 220-240V ~, 50Hz.

(2) INSTALLATION
•When the range hood is located above a gas
appliance, this distance shall be at least 65 cm
between the supporting surface for the
cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest
part of the range hood. See pic 1.
•When installing on wall: drill 3 holes Ø8mm
100mm apart (on a suitable surface that will
hold the weight of the hood) in line with the
hook on the hood.
•Insert expended screws into the holes.
•Fix the hook on the wall, place drilling template on the hook. See pic 2.
•Fit the ducting (Not included with the range hood) to the one way valve,
and run it outdoor. See pic 3.
•Calculate the final height of the U-shaped section, pull out the inside U-
shaped section to a suitable height. (See pic 4). Finally, drill 2 holes
Ø8mm in line with the 2nd plate. Insert expended screws into the holes.
Put the inside U-shaped on the 2nd plate and tighten the two screws (see
pic 4A).
Note: Fix the Canopy with safety screws. See Pic 5. The two safety screw holes
are positioned on the back casing, with diameter of 6mm.
Warning: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these
instructions may result in electrical hazards.

If you do not have an outlet to the outside, the ducting is not required and the
installation is similar to the one shown in the “INSTALLATION (VENT
OUTSIDE)” section
Activated carbon filter can be used to trap odors.
In order to install the activated carbon filter, the metallic anti-grease filter
should be detached first. Press the lock and pull it downward.
Plug the activated carbon filter into the unit and turn it anti-clockwise. Repeat
the same on the other side.
NOTE:
•Make sure the filter is securely locked. Otherwise, it could loosen and
cause damage to the unit.
•When activated carbon filter is attached, the suction power will be
lowered.

(3) NOTICE OF INSTALLATION
The following rules must be strictly followed to obtain optimal air extraction:
•Do not install above a cooker with a high level grill.
•Important! Always switch off the electricity supply at the mains during
installation and maintenance.
•The range hood must be installed in accordance with the installation
instructions and all measurements followed.
•Please dispose of the packing material carefully. It may be a risk to
children.
•Pay attention to the sharp edges inside the range hood especially during
installation and cleaning.
•When the range hood is located above a gas appliance, the minimum
distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob
and the lowest part of the range hood that distance must be:
Gas cookers: 65cm
Electric cookers: 65 cm
Coal or oil cookers: 75 cm
•Make sure the ducting has no bends less than 120º as this will reduce the
efficiency of the range hood.
•Warning: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with
these instructions may result in electrical hazards
•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
•Warning: Before obtaining access to terminals, all supply circuits must be
disconnected.
•For safety reason, please use only the same size of fixing or mounting
screw which are recommended in this instruction manual.
•When the range hood and appliances supplied with energy other than
electricity are simultaneously in operation, the negative pressure in the
room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).
•Keep ducting pipe short and straight.
•Do not reduce the size or restrict ducting pipe.
•When using ducting 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 range 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 range hood is level to avoid
grease collection at on end.
•Ensure the ducting pipe selected for installation complies with relevant
standards and is fire retardant.
(4) SAFETY WARNING

(6) MAINTENANCE
The cleaning of the carbon grease filter mesh
•The filter mesh is made of high-density stainless steel. Do not use
corrosive detergent on it.
•Keeping this filter clean will keep the range hood running correctly.
Strictly follow the guidelines below.
•Method 1: Put the mesh into 40-50 c clean water, pour on detergent, and
soak for 2-3 mins. Wear gloves and clean with a soft brush. Do not apply
too much pressure, as the mesh is delicate and will damage easy.

temperature at around 60 degrees.
Notice of cleaning range hood
•To protect the main body from corrosion over a long period of time, the
range hood should be cleaned with hot water plus non corrosive
detergent every two months.
•Do not use abrasive detergent as they will damage the body.
•Keep the motor and other electrical parts free from water, as this will
cause damage to the range hood.
•Before cleaning the range hood remember to turn off power
•The carbon filter shouldn’t be exposed to heat.
