DUCT FIXING
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire,
recommend use aluminum ductwork.
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.

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.

HOOD CLEANING
Glass and aluminum are two of the easiest materials to keep clean.
Occasional care will help preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
* Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
* Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a
clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.
* For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non scratching
household cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder with a little
water and a soft cloth.
* For stubborn cases use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle
brush together with cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of
polishing lines or “grind” of the aluminum finish. Avoid using too
much pressure that may mar the surface.
* Do not allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
* Do not use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of
steel may adhere to the surface causing rust.
* Do not allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning
compounds to remain in contact with aluminum finish for extended
periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals that may be
harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean
cloth.
* Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild
detergent only.
