4. Installation
4.1 Pre-Installation Considerations

4.2 Ducted vs. Ductless Setup
This range hood can be configured for either ducted (exhaust mode) or ductless (recirculation mode) operation.
Figure 4.2: Visual representation of the two venting options: Ducted Mode, which expels air outside via an exhaust pipe, and Recirculation Mode, which filters air through CC170 charcoal filters and returns it to the kitchen.
- Ducted Mode: Connects to an external duct system to vent air outside. Requires the included duct pipe and damper.
- Ductless Mode: Filters air through CC170 charcoal filters (included) and recirculates it back into the kitchen. No external ducting is required.
4.3 General Installation Steps (Refer to Installation Drawing for details)
- Mark the mounting points on the wall according to the installation drawing and product dimensions.
- Install the mounting brackets securely to the wall.
- Mount the range hood body onto the brackets.
- For ducted installation, connect the duct pipe and damper to the exhaust outlet and external ductwork. For ductless installation, ensure charcoal filters are installed (see Maintenance section).
- Install the adjustable chimney sections.
- Connect the power supply.
- Install the baffle filters and oil cup.
5. Operating Instructions

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your range hood.
6.1 Baffle Filters Cleaning
The baffle filters trap grease and should be cleaned regularly, typically every 3-6 weeks depending on cooking frequency.
Figure 6.1: Steps for cleaning the detachable baffle filters: removal from the hood, manual washing, and placement in a dishwasher for easy cleaning.
- Ensure the range hood is turned off and disconnected from power.
- Remove the baffle filters by pulling the release latches.
- Clean the filters with hot soapy water or place them in a dishwasher.
- Allow filters to dry completely before reinstalling.
6.2 Charcoal Filters Replacement (for Ductless Mode)
If operating in ductless mode, the CC170 charcoal filters should be replaced every 3-6 months, or more frequently with heavy use, as they cannot be washed.
Figure 6.2: Illustration of the charcoal filter's function, showing it capturing grease and odors to release clean air.
- Ensure the range hood is turned off and disconnected from power.
- Remove the baffle filters to access the charcoal filters.
- Twist and remove the old charcoal filters.
- Install new CC170 charcoal filters by twisting them into place.
- Reinstall the baffle filters.
6.3 Oil Cup Emptying
The oil cup collects excess grease and should be emptied and cleaned regularly.
