3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your range hood. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician.

3.1 Unpacking and Inspection

• Carefully remove all packaging materials.
• Check the appliance for any transport damage. Do not install a damaged appliance.
• Verify that all included components are present as listed in Section 2.

3.2 Mounting the Range Hood

The range hood is designed for wall mounting. Ensure the wall structure is strong enough to support the weight of the appliance.

1. Determine the optimal mounting height above your cooking surface. The chimney is height-adjustable (400-790mm) to accommodate various kitchen layouts.
2. Mark the drilling points on the wall using the provided template (if applicable) and ensure they are level.
3. Drill holes and insert wall plugs. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall.
4. Carefully lift the range hood and hang it onto the mounting bracket. Secure it with additional screws as instructed in the detailed installation guide.
5. Install the decorative chimney covers, adjusting their height as needed.

3.3 Ventilation Mode Selection

Your range hood supports two ventilation modes: external evacuation and recirculation.

• External Evacuation: For this mode, connect the provided 1.5m telescopic aluminum duct (Ø=150mm) to the range hood's outlet and route it to an external vent. This mode expels cooking fumes outside.
• Recirculation Mode: If external venting is not possible, install the two active carbon filters (YYCF-120E) into the range hood. These filters purify the air before returning it to the kitchen. No external ducting is required for this mode.
