Installation

STEP 1 Read the Safety Instructions

• It is very important to read the safety instructions on pages 4 and 5.
  IMPORTANT: It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearance s.

STEP 2
Unpack Range Hood and Prepare Tools

• Carefully unpack the range hood and parts. Make sure all parts are included as shown on page 6. · DO NOT remove the protective film covering the appliance until the installation is fully completed. · Consult a qualified and trained installer or check local codes for makeup air requirements, if any.

STEP 3
Plan Desired Location

• Plan a desirable location that fits all requirements in the Safety and Installation sections of this manual. Plan where and how the ductwork will be installed.
• A straight or short duct run will allow the unit to perform most efficiently. Long duct runs, elbows and transitions will reduce the performance of the unit. Each elbow is equivalent to 5 to 10 feet (1.5 m to 3 m) of straight run. Proper size ductwork should be 6 in. (15.3 cm) in diameter.
• To reach a 9-foot (2.74 m) ceiling make sure the hood is installed 30 inches (76.2 cm) from the cooking surface. If you have a ceiling greater than 9 ft (2.74 m), please visit anconahome.com to order a chimney extension.
• If ductwork is already installed: ensure ductwork is free from debris and measures 6 in. (15.3 cm) (1 in. (2.5 cm) reducers may be used but more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) will overwork the motor and the unit will not function properly).

STEP 4
Test Unit Functions

• Plug the unit in and test all of the functions before installing.
• Place the range hood on a flat, stable surface. Connect the range hood to a designated standard outlet (120-Volt, 60Hz, AC only) and turn on the range hood. Verify all operations of the range hood by referring to Range Hood Operations.
• Turn the power On in the control panel.
• Check all lights and fan operations.

WARNINGS:

• Please make sure to read ALL safety instructions on pages 4 and 5.
• Use two or more people to move and install the range hood.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury.

STEP 5
Venting Installation Guidelines

• The following steps are for exterior ventilation.
• If you require a ductless installation, please visit anconahome.com to purchase a recirculation kit.

IMPORTANT:

• The vent system must terminate to the outside (roof or side wall).
• DO NOT terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
• DO NOT use 4 in. (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
• Use metal/aluminum vents only. A rigid metal/aluminum vent is recommended.
•  DO NOT use a plastic vent.
• Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow.
• Calculate the following figures before installation:

1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling
2. Distance between the floor and the countertop/stove
3. A distance of 24 in. to 30 in. (61 cm to 76.2 cm) is recommended between the stovetop and the bottom of the range hood. 30 in. (76.2 cm) minimum is required for gas stovetops.
4. Height of hood and duct cover.

For the most efficient and quiet operation:

• It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof through 6 in. (15.3 cm) or bigger round metal/aluminum vent work.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• Use no more than three 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24 in. (61 cm) of straight vents between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
• DO NOT install two elbows together.
• The length of the vent system and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
• The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a damper, you may remove damper flaps from the damper to increase airflow.
• Only one flange is needed in the air duct system, either on top of the motor or outside.
• Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
• Use caulking to seal the exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

Height and Clearance

To reach a 9 ft (2.74 m) ceiling, make sure the range hood is installed at least 30 in. (762 mm) from the cooking surface.
IMPORTANT:

• A minimum of 6 in. (15.3 cm) round or 3-1/4 × 10 in. (8.3 cm × 25.4 cm) rectangular duct (purchased separately) must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency. · Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to minimize airflow when connecting to the provided duct.
• Please use Duct Run Calculation below to compute the total available duct run when using elbows, transitions, and caps.
• ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number of transitions and turns. If a long duct run is required, increase duct size from 6 in. (15.3 cm) to 7 in. (17.7 cm) or 8 in. (20.3 cm). If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer. Reducing duct size will restrict airflow and decrease airflow, thus reducing duct size as far away from the opening as possible.
• If turns or transitions are required, install as far away from the opening and as far apart, between two (2), as possible.
• The minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 24-inch (61 cm) for electric cooktops and a minimum of 30-inch (76.2 cm) for gas stove tops and no higher than 30-inch (76.2 cm) for electric cooktops.
• 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 may be hard to reach and will lose their performance and efficiency.
• If available, also refer to the stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting height above range.

Duct Run Calculation:

Recommended maximum run
6 in. (15.3 cm) or 3 1/4 x 10 in. (8.3 x 25.4 cm) duct| 30 ft (9.1 m)
Vent piece deduction
Each 90° elbow used| 9 ft (2.7 m)
Each 45° elbow used| 5 ft (1.5 m)
Each 6 in. to 3-1/4x 10 in. transitions used| 7 ft (2.1 m)
Sidewall cap with damper| 0 ft (0 m)

Duct Run Calculation example:
One roof cap, two 90º elbows, and one 45º elbow use.
0ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 23ft used.
Deduct 23ft from 30ft, 7ft maximum available for straight duct run.

• This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
• Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.

IMPORTANT:

• NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceilings, attics or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
• Use metal/aluminum ductwork only.
• Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
• Use caulking to seal the exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

STEP 6
Preparations
NOTE: To avoid damage to your hood, prevent debris from entering the vent opening.

• Determine and mark the center line on the ceiling or wall where the range hood will be installed.
• Make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for the exhaust vent.
• Due to the weight and size of this unit, please make sure that the support system or framework being used is stable and secure in the ceiling or wall.
• Put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage or dirt.
• Remove any hazardous objects around the area when installing.

CAUTION
If moving the cooking range is necessary to install the hood, turn OFF the power on an electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE.
STEP 7

Use and Care Information

Operations

• Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual before operating the appliance. Save these instructions for future reference.
• Always leave safety grills and filters in place. Without these components, operating fans could catch on to hair, fingers, and loose clothing.
•  NEVER dispose of cigarette ashes, ignitable substances, or any foreign objects into fans.
• NEVER leave cooking unattended. When frying, oil in the pan can easily overheat and catch fire. The risk of self-combustion is higher when the oil has been used several times.
• NEVER cook on “open” flames under the range hood. Check deep-fryers during use; superheated oil may be flammable.

Cleaning

• The saturation of greasy residue in the fan and filters may cause increased inflammability. Keep the unit clean and free of grease and residue build-up at all times to prevent possible fires.
• Filters must be cleaned periodically and free from the accumulation of cooking residue (see Cleaning Instructions below). Old and worn filters must be replaced immediately.
• DO NOT operate fans when filters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper instructions. Disassembly is recommended to be performed by qualified personnel only. Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual before proceeding.

SAFETY WARNING:
Never put your hand into the area housing the fan while the fan is operating! For optimal operation, clean the range hood and all baffle/spacer/filter/grease tray/oil containers regularly. Regular care will help preserve the appearance of the range hood.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces

• Clean periodically with hot soapy water and a clean cotton cloth. DO NOT use corrosive or abrasive detergent (e.g. Comet Power Scrub®, EZ-Off® oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads, which will scratch and damage the stainless steel surface. For heavier soil use liquid degrease such as “Formula 409®” or “Fantastic®” brand cleaner.
• If the hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the hood. Avoid getting cleaning solutions onto or into the control panel. Follow the directions of the stainless steel cleaner.

CAUTION: DO NOT leave it on too long as this may cause damage to the hood finish. Use a soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, and gently rub off any stubborn spots. Use a dry soft towel to dry the hood.

• After cleaning, you may use nonabrasive stainless steel polish such as 3M® or ZEP®, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with a clean cotton cloth, and with the grain.
• DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.
• DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause rusting.
• DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals, which may be harmful.
• Rinse with water after exposure to these compounds and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
