Preparation: What to Do Before Installation

Before installing your range hood, carefully follow these steps:

1. Read This Manual
Read through all the steps. If you fail to read the instructions carefully, we will not be responsible for damages incurred on your part. If you’re not confident in your abilities to install the range hood properly, we recommend hiring a certified technician to complete the installation. While reading through the manual, ensure you have the necessary tools and parts according to the previous page.

2. Remove Packaging
Remove any packaging, including the plastic wrap and protective plastic film, from the hood. You can use stainless steel cleaner to wipe down the surface if desired. Keep all packaging materials until you are satisfied with our product.

3. Ensure There is Proper Height Clearance
Check that you’ll be able to install the UC-PS10 Range Hood at the correct height. To ensure the best performance, the bottom of your range hood must be between 24″ and 30″ from the top of the cooking surface. For gas ranges, the required distance is 30″.

Do not exceed the maximum height of 30″ while in operation. This is very important! Installing at the incorrect height could lead to drastic reduction in the range’s performance or even cause a fire.

4. Check Your Power Supply and Ducts
Check to ensure your main voltage is in line with the required voltage outlined on the rating plate inside this hood. Also check the domestic power supply to guarantee adequate earthing before installation.
This range hood must be ducted to the outside. Don’t connect the range hood to exhaust ducts that carry any type of combustion fumes like fireplaces, boilers, or any similar items. The vents should have a short, straight run to the outside. Avoid any elbows if possible, and if an elbow is required, a minimum of a 12″ straight run is imperative before the elbow.

1. Roof
2. Duct(for vertical discharge)
3. Cabinet
4. 24”-30” from cooking surface

5. Remove the Baffle Filters
Remove the three baffle filters from the range hood by pulling the levers out and slowly removing them. Set them aside.

6. Figure Out Ducting Requirements & Install Adapter
This range hood requires ducting to the outside for ventilation. It is made to work with 6″ exhaust ducts. For vertical ducting, you’ll need to attach the vertical 6″ round adapter and fasten it with two the outlet mounting screws (BB).

7. Prepare the Cabinet (Soffit)
Measure the size of the outlet adapter relative to the cabinet. If it is not already done, you’ll need to cut an opening in the cabinet to ensure the outlet adapter and power cable can pass through. If you must do this, use a pencil and ruler to mark the area, then cut with a wall/keyhole saw.
If you’re installing the UC-PS10 under a cabinet with a recessed bottom, we recommend using 4″ wood fillers on each side to stabilize the cabinet for mounting purposes.

8. Find a Helper
This range hood is best installed by two or more people due to its size and weight. Again, it is recommended to hire a certified technician for installation to reduce the risk of damage or injury.

How to Install Your Range Hood

When you’ve completed all the preparation steps, you’re ready to install your range hood.

1. Thoroughly Inspect the Unit and Ensure You Are Satisfied With It
Check your range hood for damaged or missing parts. Plug it in to an outlet to ensure the fan and lights work. If anything is damaged or missing, contact the manufacturer to get the issues solved. Don’t throw away packaging until you’re sure you are fully satisfied with the product.

IMPORTANT: Power the range hood and test all functions before proceeding with the installation. If the range hood is not working properly, please contact us immediately (1-800-929-0168 / [email protected]).

2. Jack Up the Hood
If you are not removing the range, place the plywood (30″ x 24″) over the range / cooktop to avoid possible damage. Put the cabinet jacks on the plywood and place the second piece of plywood over the two cabinet jacks. Using the cabinet jacks, lift the hood into its position under the cabinet. Ensure that the adapter and power cord enter the cabinet openings and that the power cord is not pinched between the hood and the cabinet.
If you do not wish to use a cabinet jack, you will need three people. Have two helpers holding the range hood in place while the third person inserts the screws to mount the range hood. For cabinet jack operation, please refer to its manual.

3. Screw It Into Place
From the bottom of the hood, carefully insert the mounting screws (AA) with washers into each of the pre-drilled mounting holes in the range hood. Start with the front left, then front right.
After the screws are in place for the front mounting holes, work on the rear left, then rear right.

TIP: To easily reach the rear mounting holes, use an extension tool for the power drill.

4. Double-Check Installation and Remove Support
Be sure that the hood is securely attached before removing the cabinet jacks and plywood.

5. Connect Damper & Check for Airtightness
Double-check to make sure that the adapter has entered the ductwork properly. Then, make sure the damper opens and closes freely. This will ensure better and quieter performance. Finally, ensure the duct is firmly attached to the adapter and wrap the joint with aluminum foil tape to make it air-tight.

IMPORTANT: Always fully open the damper. A half-opened damper will lead to backdraft, meaning air will back-flow through the hood into the kitchen.

6. Plug the Range Hood In
Plug the power cable into an outlet.

6. Reinstall Baffle Filters
Reinstall the three baffle filters.

7. Keep This Manual
Put this manual in a safe place and keep for further reference.

WARNING: Failure to maintain basic standards of care and cleaning will increase the risk of fire.

DO

|

DONT

---|---
Clean the range hood with warm, soapy cloth or a stainless-steel polish.| Don’t use cleaners or cloths that are corrosive or abrasive.
Don’t use detergents with ingredients like chloride, iodide, or fluoride.
Clean the hood in line with the grain of the stainless steel.| Don’t leave dirt or soap residue on the hood. This can damage the surface. Wash the hood’s surface and rinse immediately with clean water.
After cleaning with soap, rinse with clean water and wipe with a clean, dry cloth.| Don’t let particles, especially construction particles (from sanding, etc.) enter the hood. Cover the hood during room renovations.
Check the ducts and vents regularly to make sure they are not clogged.| Don’t use flammable agents near the stove, as these can cause explosions.

Troubleshooting Tips

WARNING: Please turn off the power circuit or power breaker panel before troubleshooting this range hood. Failure to do so can cause death or serious injury.

Problem

|

Solution

---|---
My range hood won’t work.|

1. Make sure the power supply and wiring are connected securely. 
2. Double-check to see that the power breaker is on and the power supply is live.
3. Check to see that the control panel cables are connected correctly to the switchboards.

My range hood vibrates while the fan is operating.|

1. Check to ensure the hood is firmly secured to the cabinet/wall. Tighten or add screws if necessary. 
2. Confirm that the motor is firmly in place and secured safely. If it is not, tighten it. 
3. If those steps haven’t resolved the issue, your fan may be damaged. If it is damaged, you may need to replace it.

The fan is operating weakly.|

1. Double-check to ensure the duct size is correct. 
2. Clean ducts or filters if they’re dirty. Also, check to make sure the mesh enclosure on the hood is receiving proper air ventilation.
3. If possible, check to see that the damper is functioning properly regarding the opening.

The fan is not working properly even though the lights are working.|

1. Double-check that the fan is not jammed /that it isn’t scraping any of the surfaces of the hood. 
2. If this doesn’t work, you may need to replace the motor as it may be defective.

The vent hood is not working efficiently.|

1. The minimum distance between the cooking area and the appliance should be 24″ or 30″ maximum. Check to see if this is correct. 
2. Make sure that the duct is not susceptible to easy wind opening. 
3. Make sure the fan speed is at the appropriate rate. The heavier the cooking, the greater the speed of the hood should be set.
4. Closing the windows and doors in the room will allow the vent to work much better. 
5. As noted during the installation process, all ductwork must be done correctly. You may need to reduce the length of ductwork or reduce elbows. 
6. Make sure all joinery in ductwork is sealed and secured properly.

The light is not working.|

1. Check to see if lightbulb is loose and needs to be tightened. 
2. If tightening doesn’t fix the problem, replace bulb with a new one and see if that solves the issue. 
3. If replacement and/or tightening does not solve, you may need to replace the lighting service system on the hood.
