6.5 Installation Procedure:
In order to secure the safe use of the range
hood and maximize its ability to ventilate cooking
fumes, the installation height is suggested as
follows: The distance from the countertop of the
gas stove to the top board of the range hood
shall not be less than 29 9/16"(750mm) and
shall not be more than 32 1/2"(825mm). This
installation height is only applicable to electric
ranges. If the range hood is installed above a
gas range, the minimum distance between the
supporting surface of the cooking appliance
on the range and the lowest part of the range
hood should be at least 24”(610mm)(in USA)/25
5/8”(650mm)(in Canada). If the installation
instructions for the gas range specify a larger
installation distance, this should be considered.
The installation height of the range hood is the
recommended value, and the cupboard and the
range hood shown in the gure is for reference
only. When the installation height of this product
(i.e. the distance between the supporting
surface of the cooking appliance on the range
and the lowest part of the range hood) is lower
than 24”(610mm)(in USA)/25 5/8”(650mm)
(in Canada), all parts below 24”(610mm)(in
USA)/25 5/8”(650mm)(in Canada) are non-
flammable parts of the range hood or parts
working under safe and ultra-low voltage, and
the deformation of these parts will not affect the
protection against the touch of live parts.
Where there are relevant laws stipulating the
mounting height of range hood in the state
or region, the laws shall prevail ( Included
but not limited to architecture and firefighting
regulations and standards). However, the effect
of cooking fumes ventilation might be affected.
The range hood can be installed in three ways,
either with or without the upper cabinet.
Caution:
1. One of the wood screws(#10×2 9/16"(ST5×65mm))
for duct bracket must be fastened to the wooden beam.
2. If it is necessary to drill the duct outlet at the back
wall, the distance from the top plane of the range
hood to the center of the hole should be at least 8"
(203mm).
Warning:
Excessively low installation height can
cause overheating of the glass panel, increasing the
possibility of breaking.

Diameter of hole digging
Φ 6 1/2" (165mm)
Warning:
Do wear qualied protective gloves.
1. Unpack the appliance and check the List of
Accessories.
2. Locate the wooden beam and mark the location
with a pencil.

3. Locate the duct bracket. Determine the
central point and mark the centerline on the
wall where the hood will be installed. Also, mark
the point where the central line and the lowest
point on the bottom board of the top cabinet
meet. This is the location, in which to secure
the bracket. Mark screw hole locations on the
wall. The distance between the lowest point on
bottom board of the top cabinet and the center
of the bracket should be 16" (405mm).
Caution:
One of the wood screws(#10×2
9/16"(ST5×65mm)) for main engine must be
fastened to the beam.Screws must be fixed
at Hole A and B in the drawing; also wood
screws(#10×2 9/16"(ST5×65mm)) must be xed
at bracket bores with corresponding wooden
stakes in Area C.
4.Fixing hooks:
1) Punch marks are on tiles (marble): Punch holes
(φ3/8"(φ8mm)) with an electric drill at the marks,
and embed expansion tube for tiles(φ1/4"×1
5/16"(φ5.3×32mm)); fix hook with hook
screws(#8×1 7/16"(ST4.2×36mm)), and keep the
hook level with a level ruler.
2) Punch marks are on plasterboards: Screw
the expansion tube for plasterboards(φ3/16"×1
5/8"(φ4×40mm)) into walls with screwdrivers
at the marks; fix hooks with hook screws(#8×1
7/16"(ST4.2×36mm)), and keep the hook
horizontal with a level ruler.
5 .Place the hole-drilling template with the side
of the hole-drilling dimension drawing facing
down on the bottom of the upper cabinet, and
then drill the holes as indicated on the hole-
