Installation Instruction
Install the cooker hood in a dry place and avoid direct
sunlight.
The cooker hood is intended to be mounted onto the
kitchen wall.
Always mount the cooker hood over the centre of the hob.
Ensure that the minimum distance between
- the cooker hood and a gas hob is maintained at 750mm
- the cooker hood and an electric hob is maintained at
650mm.
Each cooker hood is equipped with an adjustable
cover. The adjustable hood is installed in the
decorative cover, which may be drawn upwards to
cater the installation height.
Please read the dimensions shown in the figure before
using the adjustable cover. The adjustable cover is
fixed on the wall by using fixing brackets via screws.

Determine the installation positions of the fasteners
(fixing brackets and mounting rails) on the wall and
follow steps indicated in photo below. If the adjustable
cover is not needed, skip step 5.
Draw a line on the wall from the ceiling to the lower
edge of the hood at the centre of the location where
the hood is going to be mounted.
After determining installation positions of the
fasteners on the wall, use a driller with a diameter of
10 mm to drill holes in the wall.
Insert the accessory wall plug into the drilling holes
and fix the fasteners (fixing brackets and mounting
rails) onto the wall with the accessory fixing screws.

Installation Instruction
Hang the cooker hood on to the fixing brackets on the
wall. Make sure the cooker hood does not shake or
hook off. Keep the cooker hood horizontal.
Install the accessory fixing screws in the notch as
shown in the figure to prevent the cooker hood falling
off from the mounting rails.
Each cooker hood is equipped with an exhausted
plastic pipe in a diameter of 175mm. The exhausted
pipe is 1.65m long when completely stretched.
Please connect one end of the exhausted pipe to the
outlet duct on the cooker hood and connect the other
end of the exhausted pipe to the common chimney
duct or the drilling hole in the external wall (the
diameter of the drilling hole is 180mm).
For optimum extractor hood efficiency:
Diameter of pipe should be as large as possible and
no tight bends in pipe.
The exhausted pipe can not be bent into a “凹” shape
(as few bends as possible).
Do not connect the exhausted pipe to another pipe
with a diameter smaller than 175mm.
Do not use a pipe with a diameter smaller than
175mm with an intermediate connecting pipe.

exhausted pipe into the common chimney duct in
case the resistance increased when exhausting.
If you need to connect the exhausted pipe directly
outside the wall, a shutter (purchase additionally) is
recommended to be mounted at one end of the
exhausted pipe to prevent the external wind from
flowing back inside. Meanwhile, make sure the
exhausted pipe extending outside the wall is at least
30 mm.
The exhausted gas must not enter other hot flue
pipes, also for exhausting smoke of other fuels.
Fix the decorative cover and the adjustable cover on
the cooker hood according to the figure.
Insert the decorative cover into the cooker hood
