1. In order to secure the safe use of the range hood and maximize its ability to
ventilate cooking fumes, the installation height is suggested as follows: The
distance from the countertop of the gas stove to the top board of the range
hood shall not be less than 29 9/16"(750 mm) and shall not be more than
32 1/2"(825 mm). Where there are relevant laws stipulating the mounting
height of range hood in the state or region, the laws shall prevail. However,
the effect of cooking fumes ventilation might be affected.
2. When drilling into the wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage electrical
wiring, water pipes, gas lines, or other hidden utilities.
3. The wall should be strong enough to support the range hood. As for hollow
wall or hollow plate, the minimum thickness of the lumber should be 13/16"
(30 mm).
4. Shorten the length of ducting run to the hole on the outside wall and
decrease the turns to the minimum when designing the ducting run.
The requirements of the ducting run are:
1) the diameter of the ducting run is at least 6 inches;
2) iron sheet tube is the firstly suggested option for the ducting run and
then secondly the aluminum pipe;
3) the length of the ducting run is suggested no more than 8 feet and three
turns to ensure the best effect of oil suction.
Only operate the gas burners with cookware on them after installing the
range hood.

Note:
If a decoration board is installed at the lower edge of the cabinet,
a wood block at same height as decoration board near three
#10×2 13/16"(M5×70mm) bolts before installation of a range
hood, so as to avoid electric jogger's failure to open or close
properly caused by deformation of range hood shell during fas-
tening of the bolts. (See the installation diagram)
