INSTALLATION
This appliance can be installed in recirculation or ventilation mode.
Ducted Mode
The cooker hood fan extracts the cooking
vapours and passes them to the outside. In this
mode, only grease filters are installed (charcoal
filter is optional).

which are purified in the grease filter and charcoal
filter. The purified air is then recirculated back into
the kitchen via a vent opening in the hood. Both
grease filters and charcoal filters are installed.

Do ensure that the appliance is mounted on a solid surface which could withstand the appliance’s
weight.
In the case of boarded wall,
- If the thickness is more than 20mm, mount the cooker hood directly to the wall.
- If the thickness is less than 20mm, embed a reinforcing board and mount the cooker hood to this
board.
In the case of a concrete/tile faced wall,
- Embed a reinforcing board in the wall in advance or use a curl plug or the like.
