1. Before installation, turn the unit off and unplug it from the outlet.
2. The cooker hood should be placed at a distance of 65~75cm above the cooking surface for best effect.
Pic 1 3. Drill 5 8mm holes on a suitable place to accommodate the hook and inside
chimney bracket once the installation height is fixed, and keep it in line. The fixed position of the inside chimney bracket is the highest place of chimney. See pic 2. 4. Screw and tighten the hook onto the wall with the 3pcs screws (4 x 40 mm) and wall plugs provided.Then use 2 pcs ST4*40mm screws to fix the inside chimney bracket. See pic 2.

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 120º; 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.
WARNING:
For safety reason, please use only the same size of fixing or mounting screws which are recommended in this instruction manual.
