parts to its body.The images only show an example of how to mount the V-flap,the
outlet may be various according to different models and configuration.
To mount the V-flap 1 you should:
• Mount two half-parts 2 into the body 6
• a pin 3 should be top oriented;
• the axis 4 should be inserted in the holes 5 on 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 inflammable
material with an interior diameter of 150mm)
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.

3. 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.
4. Attach the expansion pipe onto the one-way-valve as shown below,and fix the pipe
on the valve by cable tie.And then put the cooker hood on the hook. See pic 3.After
adjust the height,fix the body with 2 pcs ST4*30mm safety screws.See Pic 4.
5. Lead the expansion pipe outside of the room, then use 2pcs 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.
6. 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 by 2pcs ST4*8mm screws. See Pic 6.
Note: The two safety vents are positioned on the back housing, with diameter of 6mm.
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 expansion pipe.
• When using expansion pipe always install the pipe pulled taut to minimize pressure
loss.
7
• 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.
