RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
INSTALLATION

fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.)
* If the hood is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.
g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of ventilation must be
guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust
gas. The kitchen must have an opening directly with the open air in
order to guarantee the entry of clean air.
* The minimum distance is 750mm from the cooker hood to a gas
hob, and is 650mm to an electric hob. If the installation instructions
for gas/electric hobs specify a greater distance the same must be
taken into account.

1. Attach an adequate length of φ150mm round duct into the recessed
area of the air outlet adapter.
2. The duct has to be secured using two screws from two sides of the air
outlet adapter. Make sure the duct is fixed well on.
DESCRIPTION/CONNECTIONS
Ducted mode air exhaust system
The hood draws the cooking fumes saturated with fumes and odor through
the grease filters and expels it to the outside through an outlet pipe.
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use metal
ductwork only.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run
between the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the
hood to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions
will reduce the performance of the hood.
Use as few of them as possible. Larger
ducting may be required for best
performance with longer duct runs.
4. Attach an adequate length of φ160mm round duct to the air outlet
adapter. Let the exhaust run for a minimum of 1 meter in Straight line in
between bends / elbows for better efficiency.
5. The air must not be discharge into a flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels" "Regulations
concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

6. Install a roof/wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and
work back towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints
between ductwork sections.
Electrical Connection
* Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards. Turn off electrical power at service
entrance before wiring.
* 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.
* Do not use the plug and an extension cord other than the ones initially
supplied with the hood.
* The earthing of this hood is compulsory. Do not remove ground prong of
