the purpose of internal cleaning or maintenance.
• The power outlet must be within reach of the power cord from the rangehood.
• Check all contents of the packaging, including all electrical functions of the rangehood before installation.
• The rangehood is heavy. Please ensure adequate care when installing to prevent personal injury.
