round duct into the recessed area of the
air outlet adapter.
2. The duct has to be secured using two

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.

9
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.
E ectrica Connection
* Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Turn off
e ectrica 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 the plug.
