List of accessories

Installation method

1. Checking before installation
Suggested installation of the range hood is as shown in the figure below:

• This product may have sharp edges. Do wear gloves when installing.
• The range hood shall be aligned with the center of the cooking stove.
• Do not install it in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
• Ensure that the gas can be discharged to the outside or common flue through the smoke duct.

2. Installing the unit

1. According to Fig.1 (Drilling diagram for installation), use an electric impact drill to make 5 holes with a diameter of 10 mm and a depth of 53 mm at the corresponding positions on the wall where the range hood is installed, embed the plastic expansion tubes, and use 4 screws ( Φ5 ×53) to fi x appliance hang board to the wall.
2. According to Fig.2, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove 8 self-tapping screws at the adapter and take out the sealing pad.
3. According to Fig.3, align with the screw holes and place the sealing pad and the adapter on the outlet in sequence. After aligning with the screw holes, use 8 self-tapping screws removed in step ② to fi x the sealing pad and the adapter to the unit.
   Note: The direction of the adapter after installation shall be the same as that shown in Fig.4.
4. According to Fig.5, take out the smoke duct and the short duct adapter (both have been fixed with aluminum foil tape), and keep the smoke duct in a compressed state. Pass the adapter ring from top to bottom through the smoke duct and the short duct adapter in sequence to the limit for use, and secure the above components using the four clips of the adapter ring to interlock them with the outlet seat. Connect the power supply, start the motor, and check if the two metal pieces are turned up. Turn off the range hood, and make sure that the two metal pieces drop down naturally.
5. Tear off the protective fi lm from the lower duct cover, and securely attach the unit to the appliance hang board with the unit inclined 1 °or 2 °to the wall, so that the hooks of the appliance hang board are fully inserted. After installation, make sure that the range hood is not shaking or detached, and try to ensure that it is in a horizontal state. Stretch the smoke duct, extend it into the wall opening or connect it to the common fl ue securely, and adjust the smoke duct to ensure that it is not bulging or compressed, and it bends freely. If the smoke duct is extended directly into the common fl ue, it shall not go too deep into the common fl ue, so as not to affect exhaust effect; if oil fume is exhausted directly to the outside, it is suggested that a shutter (available in hardware stores) be attached at the end of the outdoor smoke duct.
6. Insert the power plug into the socket securely. The power socket shall be a special one with a reliable grounding wire. Do not change the plug without permission.
7. As shown in Fig.6, use a screw (ST5 ×19) to fi x the stop block on the wall through a plastic expansion tube to prevent the range hood from falling off vertically in case of an external force.

3. Installing the upper duct cover

1. If it is necessary to install the upper duct cover, determine the fi xing hole positions of the duct cover hang board according to Fig.7.
2. Use an electric impact drill to make four holes with a diameter of 10 mm and a depth of 53 mm at the corresponding positions on the wall, embed the plastic expansion tubes, and use 4 screws ( Φ5 ×53) to fi x the two duct cover hang the board on the wall.
3. Pull out the upper duct cover, adjust the height of the upper duct cover so that the holes on both sides of the upper duct cover are aligned with the anchor holes in the bracket, and secure it in place with 4 slotted fi xing screws (M5 ×10). After installation, tear off the protective fi lm from the upper duct cover.
   (Caution: Be careful when taking out the upper duct cover, and pay attention to sharp edges around the product to avoid being cut.)

4. Installing the oil cup
Install the oil cup at the bottom of the unit.

After installation, tear off the protective fi lm from the duct cover.

Test operation
