A FEW SIMPLE RULES TO PLAN YOUR DUCTWORK

THIS HOOD IS DESIGNED TO USE A 6” ROUND DUCT – IT MAY BE TRANSITIONED TO A 3-1/4” X 10” RECTANGULAR DUCT NEVER REDUCE DUCT SIZE. UNDERSIZED DUCTING SEVERELY RESTRICTS AIR FLOW AND HARMS PERFORMANCE. (Example: the area of a 6” Duct is more than TWICE that of a 4” Duct) KEEP DUCT RUNS AS SHORT AND STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE. AVOID USING FLEXIBLE METAL DUCTING IF RUN IS LONGER THAN 6’. NEVER USE PLASTIC DUCTING. USE SMOOTH BORE METAL DUCTING. MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF FITTINGS (see chart).

WHEN YOU MUST USE FITTINGS, TRY TO SEPARATE THEM WITH SECTIONS OF 3’ OR MORE OF STRAIGHT DUCT. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S GUIDELINES FOR THE COOKING EQUIPMENT YOU ARE VENTING. IF MAKE UP AIR CONTROL DAMPERS ARE REQUIRED, POSITION THE SENSOR IN A STRAIGHT RUN OF DUCT IDEALLY WITH 3’ OF STRAIGHT DUCT BETWEEN EACH SIDE OF THE SENSOR AND A DUCT FITTING. REMEMBER TO INCLUDE POWER AND CONTROL WIRING FOR THIS IN YOUR PLANS. ADHERE TO ALL LOCAL BUILDING CODES AND ORDINANCES. USE THE WORKSHEET THAT FOLLOWS TO HELP CALCULATE THE TOTAL EQUIVILENT FEET OF YOUR DUCT RUN. TOTAL EQUIVILENT FEET SHOULD BE LESS THAN 100’.

ESTIMATING TOTAL EQUIDALENT FEET IN A DUCT
A SYSTEM.” TO CHANGE DIRECTION CAUSES TURBULENCE AND RESTRICTS FLOW IN IF USING FLEXIBLE METAL DUCT INCREASE ALL MULTIPLIERS BY 50% (12 BECOMES 18 – ETC) THIS EASY TO USE WORKSHEET IS FOR 600 CFM OR LESS. UNDER “QTY USED” ENTER HOW OF EACH SECTION YOU WILL BE USING. IN THE FIRST TWO ROWS – ENTER HOW MANY FEET OFEACH TYPE OF STRAIGHT DUCT YOU WILL BE USING (.E. FOR 20 FT ENTER 20, FOR 30FT ENTER 30). ENTER THE NUMBER OF EACH TYPEOF TURN YOU ARE USING AND THE TYPE OF END CAP MULTIPLY ACROSS EACH ROW THE “MULTIPLIER”x “QTY USED TO GET THE EQUIVALENT  FEET FOR THOSE COMPONENTS. ADD UP ALL THE VALUES IN THE “EQUIVALENT FEET” COLUMN.

HIGHS AND LOWS

All range hoods have a recommended range of installation height over the cooking surface. It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will lose its performance and efficiency.

SWITCHIING TOP AND REAR DENTING

TO CONVERT THE UNIT FROM TOP EXHAUST TO REAR EXHAUST FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS:

1. Unplug the quick disconnect coupling that supplies power to the motor.
2. Remove the twelve (12) screws that fasten the blower assembly and filler plate to the hood.
3. Remove the blower assembly and filler plate, invert 180° as shown and fasten in place using the twelve (12) screws previously removed.
4. Reconnect the quick disconnect plug.

INSTALLATION

This product can be installed in 2 different ways:

• Mounting the hood in the lower part of the shelf:
  • type installation
• Mounting the hood on the wall:
  • type installation.

Mounting the hood in the lower part of the shelf:

• heck that the screws used to mount the hood are suitable suitable for the type of material you are mounting to.
• Position the fixing template underneath the cabinet Fig.B.(considering the recommended distance from the cooker top).
• Fix the 4 screws A without tightening them completely (Fig.A).
• Position the hood on the screws, under the cabinet (Fig.A), tighten/fasten the 4 sorews A and fix it definitively using the 2 safety screws B.

Mounting the hood on the wall:
Position the fixing template on the wall Fig.B (considering the recommended distance from the cooker top).

• Fix the 2 upper screws A without tightening them completely along with the plugs Fig.A.
• Hang the hood on the wall, aligning it in a horizontal position and tighten/fasten the 2 screws
• When it has been regulated, fix it definitively using the 2 safety screws B (Fig.A). For the various installations use screws and screw anchors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete, plasterboard, etc.). If the screws and screw anchors are provided with the product, check that they are suitable for the type of wall on which the hood is to be fixed.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTON

1. Route the power cord to the junction box inside the hood.
2. Using listed conduit fittings and connectors, connect the power supply to the box and each line to the appropriate wire following this color convention:
3. BLACK = HOT LEG
4. WHITE = NEUTRAL
5. GREEN/YELLOW = GROUND Polarity must be observed.
6. Unit must be properly grounded. Use a double throw disconnect switch.
7. Replace the boX cOver
8. Replace the Anti-grease Baffles.

All wiring must be in compliance with national electrical code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 and all local codes and regulations.

MAINTANANCE

Regular cleaning and maintenance is the key to long life and peak performance of any equipment.

ANTI-GREASE BAFFLE FILTERS : Your XO hood is equipped with stainless steel pro-style baffle filters designed to capture grease from cooking. The baffles are easily removed for cleaning either by soaking in a warm, mild dish detergent solution, rinsing thoroughly and drying – or – by washing in your dishwasher.

TO REMOVE THE BAFFLES:

1. Pull down on the release latch (shown left)
2. Lower the front edge of the baffle
3. Pull forward and remove
4. To replace, insert the rear of the baffle, holding the latch open, swing the the front up into place and release the latch.

Baffle filters should be cleaned at least once every 2 months, more frequently depending on the type of cooking performed and the build up of grease.

CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL:
Do not use corrosive detergents, abrasive detergents or oven cleaners. Do not use any product containing chlorine bleach or any product containing chloride. Do not use steel wool or abrasive scrubbing pads which will scratch and damage surface. Cleaning Stainless Steel Clean periodically with warm soapy water and clean cotton cloth or micro fiber cloth. Always rub in the direction of the stainless steel grain. To remove heavier grease build up use a liquid degreaser detergent. After cleaning use a non-abrasive stainless steel polish/cleaners, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always rub lightly, with a clean cotton cloth or a micro fiber cloth and buff in the direction of the stainless steel grain.
Any painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and detergent only.

FOR UNITS USED IN RECIRCULATION MODE ONLY:
This refers to hoods which are not ducted outside but rely instead on carbon filter elements The carbon element filters gradually lose efficiency and cannot be cleaned or regenerated. These must be replaced at least 4 times a year, more frequently if needed based on the amount of use and style of cooking.

CHANGING THE CARBON FILTERS:
Changing the filters is easy.

To Reduce the Risk of Fire and Shock use only conversion Kit Model XORFND(ACK00059) Filters. The XORFND filters are sold in pairs. To replace the filters, unlatch and remove the Anti-Grease filters. One Carbon Filter attaches to each side of the blower. Remove the old filter by rotating one quarter turn counter-clockwise and pull straight away from the blower. To install the new filter simply align, push into pla-ce and rotate one quarter turn clockwise to lock.

LED LIGHT REPLACEMENT
To replace the bulbs, rotate the lamp anticlo-ckwise as shown in Figure. Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type.

EASY TO OPERATE

Your XO range hood is controlled by these electronic push buttons which illuminate when activated.

• BUTTON : LIGHT
• BUTTON 0 : OFF
• BUTTON 1 : SPEED I
• BUTTON 2 : SPEED II
• BUTTON 3 : SPEED III
• BUTTON T : AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER – 5 minutes (*)

The appliance has the Power Boost speed function: press BUTTON 3 for two seconds and it will be activated for 6 minutes after which it will return to the previously set speed. When the function is active the LED flashes. To interrupt it before the 6 minutes have expired press BUTTON 3 again. (*) The “automatic stop timer” delays stopping of the hood, which will continue functioning for 5 minutes at the operating speed set at the time this function is activated.

MAKE UP AIR CONUERSION

Code Compliance Control
Some local codes limit the maximum exhaust airflow of range hoods to 400 CFM before a Make Up Air System is required. The XOT24SC, XOT30SC, XOT36SC, XOT1830SC, xOT1836SC, xOT1842SC, models are supplied with 600 CFM capacity. The CCC system allows you to limit the hood from 600 CEM to 395 CFM.

To set up for 395 CFM Operation – follow the procedure below:

1. After the hood has been powered up initially, disconnect the power supply by shutting off the circuit breaker.
2. VERY IMPORTANT , after turning power back on to the unit, you must press and hold both the and “0” buttons simultaneously within 5 seconds of re-powering the unit. NOTE : Ifyou do not press the buttons within the first 5 seconds after turning power back on to the hood – the CCC function will not engage and you must repeat from Step 1.
3. The control blinks 3 times
4. The hood is now configured at 395 CFM – the POWER BOOST function is also disabled.
5. Affix the sticker supplied to indicate the unit has been reconfigured to a maximum air flow of 395 CFM.
6. Once reconfigured for 395 CFM, the unit cannot be reset to 600 CFM.
