1. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and safety of your Zephyr Roma range hood. Please follow these guidelines carefully.
1.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the range hood for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to your retailer.
1.2 Important Pre-Installation Notes
- Ensure the installation area is clear of obstructions.
- Verify that the electrical supply meets the requirements (120V, 60Hz, 4A).
- The range hood can be converted for ductless (recirculating) ventilation.
