WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, READ THE FOLLOWING:
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any
questions, please contact the manufacturer.
• Make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate of the appliance corresponds
to your outlet voltage.
• Do not attempt to alter the technical features of the range hood as this poses a safety
risk.
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified professional(s) in
accordance with all applicable codes, standards, and fire-rated constructions.
• The manufacturer does not accept any liability for any damage or injury caused by
improper installation.
• ATTENTION! This range hood is for wall-mounting ONLY.
• When cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings, be aware of electrical wires, piping, and
other utilities.
• To prevent back draft, sufficient air is needed for proper combustion.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air
outside - DO NOT vent exhaust air into attics, crawl spaces, garages, or within walls
and ceilings.
CAUTION: For general ventilation use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials and vapors.
• Do not operate the range hood with a damaged cord or plug. Discard the hood or
return to an authorized service facility for further examination and/or repair.
• Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power off, and lock the electrical
panel. This will prevent the power from accidentally turning on. If the electrical panel
does not lock, secure a warning label, such as a tag, to the electrical panel.
• The appliance is not intended to be used or cleaned by children or persons with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge
of the hazards involved.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, READ THE
FOLLOWING:
• Never leave cooking elements unattended at high settings. Boilovers can cause
smoke and grease to spill over that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium
settings.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food.
• Clean ventilation fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the
fan or filter.

This range hood has been designed to be wall‐mounted above a Gas stove/Hob.
Before starting the installation, consideration should be given to how the
installation is to be carried out, ensuring adequate space and clearances above
the Gas stove/Hob.
When installed, the range hood must be positioned at least 13.8 in (35 cm)
above the gas stove.
If the exhaust pipe is too long or there are too many bends, please select a
suitable position to install the Range Hood to make the appliance reach its perfect
sucking-in smoke mode.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:
- Unpack range hood and ensure all listed parts are in the box.
- It is recommended for the vent system to be installed before the hood is installed.
- Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or
walls for the exhaust vent.
- It is recommended that a professional installer performs the range hood
installation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- It is recommended for the vent system to be installed before hood is installed.
- Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling
or walls for the exhaust vent.
- Disconnect the power.
IMPORTANT:
This installation is for mounting the product to a wall. Ensure your wall has
the proper support to hold the range hood weight (27 kg / 59.5 lbs).
These instructions are general guidelines; please consult your installation
specialist regarding the best type of mounting hardware and support
system based on your wall construction. All wall-mounted range hoods, if
possible, should be installed and supported by studs behind the wall (hard-
ware not included). In the event studs are not in alignment with the wall
mount mounting plate holes, a wooden cross support system will need to
be retrofitted to your existing studs. All homes are different, and installa-
tions will vary.
PREPARE LOCATION:
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS:
This range hood must be ventilated to the outdoors.
Do not ventilate the range hood into an attic or other enclosed areas.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
Ensure there is availability of an electrical power socket to power the range hood
before fixing to the wall.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Ensure that the electrical installation
is adequate and in accordance with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70
(latest edition), all local codes, and ordinances.
- A 120-volt, 60 Hz., AC only, fused electrical circuit is required.

INSTALL THE RANGE HOOD
1. Find the center of the wall where you
are installing the hood. Mark your center
line to the ceiling and measure out from
the center to mark the position of your
four mounting points. The (4) mounting
holes will be found on the Wall Mount
(part I).
Make sure your mounting points are
leveled when you mark them. It is
recommended to install the hood
directly into wood supports.
2. Mark the mounting points, use the 8
drill bit to drill four holes, then insert the
four Wall Anchors (part C) directly into
the wall.
Position the Wall Mount (part I) over the
wall anchors and secure with four
mounting screws provided (part D).

NOTE:
The distance between the stove and

distance requirement of 35cm (13.8 in)
between the stove and the bottom of
the Range Hood.

NOTE:
Make sure that the hanging lips of the
Wall Mount are pointed upward because
you will need to hang the Hood on them.

3. Attach the Exhaust Duct
Base (part K) to the Exhaust
Duct (part J) using the two
screws provided (part F).

4. Unscrew the square Rubber
Pad at the exhaust opening of
the range hood.
Align the Rubber Pad with the
bottom of the Exhaust Duct
Base (part K), and then
reattach to the opening of the
range hood with the same 4
screws.
5. Carefully stand the Range
Hood in the upright position.
Align the stainless steel
finished Exhaust Duct Cover
(part L) around the face of the
range hood main body. Secure
this cover with four Taptite
Screws (part G) to fasten the
cover to the range hood’s main
body.
Once secure, carefully lift up
the secondary inner cover
located behind the stainless
steel finished face, so that the
cover doubles in height.

6. Fasten the Range Hood
Mount (part H) to the upper
half of the Exhaust Cover
(part L). Ensure the flat side of
the Range Hood Mount is
facing externally so that it can
be mounted securely.
7. Carefully hang the Range
Hood by positioning the
Range Hood Mount onto the
hanging lips of the installed
Wall Mount.
Connect the Open end of the
Exhaust Duct to the vent.
Connect the Power Cord to
the electrical socket.
Important: When the POWER
On/Off button is pressed the
front panel will automatically
open to reveal the filters (Refer
to image in No. 8 below). Do
not manually close as this may
damage the unit. Always use
the POWER On/Off button.
8. Once the Range Hood is
securely mounted, attach the
Grease Collector (part M).
Align with the tabs located at
the base of the face of the
Range Hood and lock into
position.
