SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This manual explains the proper installation and use of your cooker hood, please read it carefully before using even if you are familiar with the product.

The manual should be kept in a safe place for future reference.

Never to do:

• Do not try to use the cooker hood without the grease filters or if the filters are excessively greasy!
• Do not install above a cooker with a high level grill.
• Do not leave frying pans unattended during use because overheated fats or oils might catch fire.
  ● Never leave naked flames under the cooker hood.

• If the cooker hood is damaged, do not attempt to use.
  ● Do not flambé under the cooker hood.
  ● CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
  ● The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the cooker hood. (When the cooker hood is located above a gas appliance, this distance shall be at least 65 cm)
  ● The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation

of a range hood or other cooking fume extractor, the operation of open flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not

occur.

Always to do:

• Important! Always switch off the electricity supply at the mains during installation and maintenance such as light bulb replacement.
  ● The cooker hood must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions and all measurements followed.
  ● All installation work must be carried out by a competent person or qualified electrician.
  ● Please dispose of the packing material carefully. Children are vulnerable to it.
  ● Pay attention to the sharp edges inside the cooker hood especially during installation and cleaning.
  ● Make sure the ducting has no bends sharper than 90 degrees as this will reduce the efficiency of the cooker hood.
  ● Warning: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.
  ● Warning: Before obtaining access to terminals, all supply circuits must be disconnected.

Always to do:

● Always put lids on pots and pans when cooking on a gas cooker.
- When in extraction mode, air in the room is being removed by the cooker hood. Please make sure that proper ventilation measures are being observed. The cooker hood removes odours from room but not steam.
● There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the cooker hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.
● Cooker hood is for domestic use only.

• 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.
  ● This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

Always to do:

● Caution: The appliance and its accessible parts can become hot during operation. Be careful to avoid touching the heating elements. Children younger than 8 years old should stay away unless they are under permanent supervision.
● There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions
● Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
● Clean your appliance periodically by following the method given in the chapter MAINTENANCE.
● For safety reason, please use only the same size of fixing or mounting screw which are recommended in this instruction manual.
● Regarding the details about the method and frequency of cleaning, please refer to maintenance and cleaning section in the instruction manual.
●Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
- When the cooker hood and appliances supplied with energy other than electricity are simultaneously in operation, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10 ^-5 bar).
● WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
●A steam cleaner is not to be used.
● NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.

INSTALLATION (VENT OUTSIDE)

MOUNTING OF THE V-FLAP

If the cooker hood does not have an assembled V-flap 1, you should mount the half-parts to its body. The images only show an example of how to mount the V-flap, because the outlet may vary according to different models and configurations.

To mount the V-flap 1 you should:

• Mount two half-parts 2 into the body 6;
  • the pin 3 should be top oriented;
• the axis 4 should be inserted into the holes 5 on the body;
• repeat all the operations for the 2nd half-part.

INSTALLATION

If you have an outlet to the outside, your cooker hood can be connected as below picture by means of an extraction duct (enamel, aluminum, flexible pipe or non-flammable material with an interior diameter of 150mm)

1. Before installation, turn the unit off.

2. The cooker hood should be placed at a distance of 65\~75cm above the cooking surface for best effect. See pic 1.

1. Install the hook on a suitable place once the installation height is fixed, and keep it in line. The fixed position of the inside chimney bracket is the place of chimney. See pic 2.
2. Attach the converter and expansion pipe, and fix the pipe on the converter with a cable tie. Then put the cooker hood on the hook. See pic 3. Note: The expansion pipe is not included in the product.

1. After adjust the height, fix the body with 2 pcs ST4*30mm safety screws. Note: The two safety vents are positioned on the back housing, with diameter of 6mm. See pic 4.
2. Lead the expansion pipe outside of the room, then use 2 pcs ST4*8mm screws to install the outside chimney bracket onto the outside chimney, here should be sure the inside chimney can be moved inside freely. See pic 5.
3. Put the two chimneys together onto the cooker hood body, meanwhile adjust the height of the inside chimney into the suitable height, and fix the inside chimney to the inside chimney bracket with 2 pcs ST4*8mm screws. See pic 6.

Electrical Installation

All installation must be carried out by a competent person or qualified electrician. Before connecting the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Direct Connection

The appliance must be connected directly to the mains using an omnipolar circuit breaker with a minimum opening of 3mm between the contacts.

The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it complies with the wiring diagram.

The cable must not be bent or compressed.

Regularly check the power plug and power cord for damage. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

WARNING: This is a Class I appliance and MUST be earthed

This appliance is supplied with a 3 core mains cable coloured as follows:

Brown = L or Live

Blue = N or Neutral

Green and Yellow = E or Earth

HINTS FOR EXHAUST DUCT INSTALLATION

The following rules must be strictly followed to obtain optimal air extraction:

• Keep expansion pipe short and straight.
• Do not reduce the size or restrict the expansion pipe.
• When using the expansion pipe always install the pipe pulled taut to minimize pressure loss.
• Failure to observe these basic instructions will reduce the performance and increase noise levels of the cooker hood.
• Any installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.
• Do not connect the ducting system of the hood to any existing ventilation system which is being used for any other appliance, such as warmer tube, gas tube, hot wind tube.
• The angle of the bend of the expansion pipe should not be less than 120^ ; you must direct the pipe horizontally, or, alternatively, the pipe should go up from the initial point and should be led to an outer wall.

• After the installation, make sure that the cooker hood is level to avoid grease collection at on end.
- Ensure the expansion pipe selected for installation complies with relevant standards and is fire retardant.
