Installation
1. Install the cooker hood carefully and avoid any contact with any metal parts (the metal lattice in the
wall or the like) of the building.
2. Never embed the body of the cooker hood in the wall. Otherwise, it may result in the electric leakage
of the unit.
3. The air shall not be discharged into hot flues that are used for discharging fumes generated from
burning gas or other fuels (Not applicable to cooker hoods that can discharge the air back into the
room).
4. The distance between the topmost part of cooking appliance and the lowest part of cooker hood,
when it is located exactly over the cooking appliance, shall be 650mm to 850mm. If greater distance
is specified in the cooking appliance manual, it must be taken into account.
5. Use a gas hob with a width less than that of the cooker hood.
6. Avoid using the cooker hood with changes in specifications, for instance, with modified switches.
7. Never install the cooker hood in a wet area or in other wet rooms since it may result in electric shock
or damage.
8. Never install the cooker hood at a place where the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C, otherwise it
may result in machine failure.
9. To protect your hands from injury, please wear working gloves when installing the cooker hood.
10. If the power cord is damaged, it shall be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a
similarly qualified person to prevent any hazard.

shall be installed on a location that can support the weight of the cooker hood for an extended
period of time.

In the case of boarded wall
If the thickness is more than 20mm, mount the cooker hood directly to the wall.
If the thickness is less than 20mm, embed a reinforcing board and mount the cooker hood to
this board.
In the case of a concrete/tile faced wall
Embed a reinforcing board in the wall in advance, or use a curl plug or the like.
