between the cooker top and the bottom of the

cooker hood:

Electric cookers: 70 cm

Gas cookers: 70 cm

Coal/ oil cookers: 80 cm

y If the room where the cooker hood is to be used

contains a fuel burning appliance such as a central

heating boiler, the flue must be of a sealed or

balanced flue type.

y The edges of the cooker hood are sharp – take

care when you handle your appliance, especially

during installation and cleaning. DO NOT CLEAN

IN BEHIND THE GREASE FILTERS!

y Always disconnect the cooker hood from the

power supply before carrying out any work on the

hood, including light bulbs replacement.

Installation

Vent outside

Caution: 2 people are required to unpack

and handle the appliance, it is recommended that

gloves are worn.

Caution: The wall must be strong enough

to take the weight of the hood. Wall plugs are

provided to secure the hood to most types of

walls. However, a qualified technician must verify

the suitability of the materials in accordance with

the type of wall.

Do not tile, grout or silicone the appliance to the

wall. Surface mount only.

VENT OUTSIDE

If you have an outlet to the outside, your cooker

hood can be connected by means of a given

exhaust pipe or any suitable extraction duct

(enamel, aluminum, flexible pipe or inflammable

material with an interior diameter of 150mm)

y Carefully remove all packaging materials

including the foam base, dispose of correctly.

y Before installation, ensure that the unit is

power off and unplug from the outlet.

1. The cooker hood should be placed at distance

of 65~75cm above the cooking plane for the

best effect.

2. Drill 3 holes to accommodate the wall bracket.

Screw and tighten the wall bracket onto the

wall with the screws (4mm x 38 mm) and wall

plugs provided.

Installation

Vent outside

3. Drill 2 holes to accommodate plate II. Screw

and tighten the bracket onto the wall with the

screws (4mm x 38 mm) and wall plugs provided.

The distance between the wall bracket and plate

II is suggested to be maximum 90cm.

Remark: Plate II is used to fix the chimney at

the end of installation. Therefore, it is

suggested that you refer to the whole

installation procedure to locate the proper

position of the plate II. The diagram at right is

for illustration only. Fixing the chimney to

wall plate is done at the end of installation.

4. Lift up the cooker hood and hang onto the wall

bracket hook.

5. Fix the one-way-valve to the air outlet of the

cooker hood by 4 screws (4mm x 8mm).

Remark: Sponge tape sometimes covers the 4

holes. If the 4 holes are located below the

sponge tape, simply insert the screw through the

sponge tape.

Then, attach the exhaust pipe onto the one-way-

valve as shown.

6. Place the rubber cushion into the holes of the

glass. Place the glass in appropriate position on

the top the cooker hood and fix with 4 flat end

screws (4mm x 22mm). In order to avoid the

glass cracking, please do not tighten the screws

too strongly. (Not applicable to model SY-3388A-

P-C-600)

When the hood is being used in extractor function,

ensure that the ducting is fire retardant and the

bends is not greater than 90 degrees as this will

reduce the efficiency of the hood.

so that later height adjustment can be done easily.

8. Put the chimney to the cooker hood. Fine

height adjustment can now be done.

9. Fix the chimney to plate II. Two screws (4mm x

8mm) are used.

10. Fix the body with safety screw. Two screws

(4mm x 30mm) and two wall plugs are used.

terminal in the plug that is marked with the letter E

or by the earth symbol.

The blue wire must be connected to the terminal

that is marked with the letter N.

The brown wire must be connected to the terminal

Care and Maintenance

General

Important: Always unplug the appliance from the power socket during cleaning and

maintenance.

Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive substances, soap, household cleaner, detergent or wax

polish for cleaning.

Regular Cleaning

Use a soft cloth moistened with hand-warm mildly soapy water or household cleaning detergent. Never

use metal pads, chemical, abrasive material or stiff brush to clean the unit.

Monthly Cleaning for Cartridge Filter

ESSENTIAL: Clean the filter every month can prevent any risk of fire.

The filter collects grease, smoke and dust so the filter would directly affect the efficiency of the cooker

hood. If not cleaned, the grease residue (potential flammable) will saturate on the filter. Clean it with

household cleaning detergent.

Annual Cleaning for Activated Carbon Filter

Apply SOLELY to unit that installed as a recirculation unit (not vented to the outside). The filter traps

odours and must be replaced at least once a year depending on how frequent the cooker hood used.

Warning: Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the appliance and replacement of

the filters may cause fire risks.

Light bulb replacement

1. Switch the unit off and pull out the plug first.

2. Wait until the light bulb is cooled down before

replacement.
