INSTALLATION

 

Unplug the appliance from the power supply before servicing.

NOTE: This procedure will require 2 people for easier installation.

Please read all instructions carefully before installing.

1. If you are renovating your kitchen, be careful to protect your range hood. Volatile gases from building materials, dust, paint and coatings can corrode and tarnish the surface of your range hood. Instead, install your range hood after your kitchen renovation is complete.

2. The stainless steel may have very sharp edges; wear protective gloves when removing the range hood for installing, cleaning or servicing.

3. Be careful not to damage any hidden wire sets when drilling into a wall. Unplug the range hood from the power supply before installation; the main power box should be switched off.

4. If it is needed to move the gas stove before installing the range hood, switch off the gas valve entirely before moving the gas stove.

5. Always use a power socket with reliable grounding. Half-way links of the power line, the use of extension cords and multi-port wiring devices may lead to electric shock, plugs and sockets overheating and fire. Make sure the operation is done by professional electricians, and strictly abide by the national and local electric laws and regulations. Switch the power off and take measures to prevent the power switch from automatically tripping

6. To ensure a safe and smooth installation, use our accessories for installation and make sure the expansion tube stays closely within the wall hole when installing it. Do not make the drill hole too large; doing so will cause the expansion tube to be loose which may result in accidental damage.

7. Try to make the two sides of the range hood balanced when installing.

8. If there are no abnormal occurrences during a qualified test run after installation, read the instruction manual carefully and keep it in a safe place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

 

If you encounter any abnormal behavior, try to troubleshoot it using the following instructions below:

Problem Solution

The unit does not turn on.

Check whether the power is connected or not. If it is connected, check whether other lamps or home appliances which link to the socket are on or not.

Check the installation of the range hood and tighten the mounting base.

The range hood vibrates/shakes when operating.

Check whether the ventilation door is completely open or not.

Check whether there is blockage within the exhaust pipe.

Check the oil screen. If the oil screen hasn’t been cleaned or changed in a long time, it might be blocked by oil, affecting the air exhaust.

The range hood does not exhaust air properly.

Make sure the distance between the range hood and the cooking area is

27”-30”, while an island range hood should be 30”-36” inches.

Check whether there is blockage in the exhaust pipe.

Make sure the size of the exhaust pipe is appropriate for the range hood.

The power light is on, but the motor does not work.

Try switching the range hood on and off. If it still doesn’t work, it may be the fault of the motor or the operating system.

Check whether the light bulb is properly installed.

The motor is running, but the power light does not work.

Try the light bulb in a working light bulb holder, if the light bulb still doesn’t work, replace the bulb. (Notice: Make sure the power supply to the range hood is cut off when operating).

The connection of the exhaust pipe isn’t air tight. Check the installation of the pipes.

Cold air gets into the house.

Check whether the ventilation door is installed and whether there is clamping stagnation in the installation site that makes the ventilation door not close completely, letting in cold air as a result.

Caution: For your safety, all service and inspections should be conducted by trained and qualified professionals. Make sure the unit is disconnected from power supply during maintenance.
