Installation
Installation
1. Mount the cooker hood carefully and avoid contact with any metal parts (the lath in the wall
or the like) of the building.
2. Never embed the body of the cooker hood in the wall. Otherwise, leakage current in the
wall, if any, flows to the body of the cooker hood.
3. The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances
burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into
the room).
4. The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob
and the lowest part of the cooker hood. When the cooker hood is located above a hob, this
distance shall be at least 445mm.
If the instructions for installation for the hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken
into account.
5. Use a gas range having a narrower width than that of the cooker hood.
6. Avoid using the cooker hood with changes in the specification, for instance, with modifying
the switch.
7. Do not install the cooker hood in a wet area or in other wet rooms since it may result in
electric shock or damage.
8. Do not install the cooker hood at a place where its ambient temperature exceeds 40°C,
otherwise it may result in failure.
9. To protect your hands from injury, wear working gloves when installing the cooker hood.
10. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent
or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Preparation and Check before Installation
CAUTION
Checking mounting surface strength
The mounting surface should have sufficient strength enough to support the cooker hood.
Mount the cooker hood on a place durable to support the weight of the cooker hood.
[Product weight 19kg (FR-SC1770), 21kg (FR-SC1790), 23kg (FR-SC1711)]
In the case of boarded wall
If the thickness is more than 20mm, mount the cooker hood directly to the wall.
If the thickness is less than 20mm, embed a reinforcing board and mount the cooker hood to
this board.
In the case of a concrete/tile faced wall
Embed a reinforcing board in the wall in advance, or use a curl plug or the like.
