Installation Preparations

Venting Requirements

DO

• Have the venting system go vertically from the range hood to the roof if possible.
• Have 24″-30″ distance between the cooktop and the range hood. 27″ is recommended.
• Use uniformed duct of 6″ round duct or 3-1/4 x 10” rectangular duct or larger.
• Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Semi-rigid aluminum vent is also acceptable for easy connection.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24″ of straight vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
• Use minimal numbers of elbows and the shortest route for the venting system for a better performance.
• Use silver tap or duct tap to seal all joints in the venting system.
• Use caulking silicone to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
• Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow.

DO NOT

• End the venting system in an enclosed area indoors.
• Use plastic vent.
• Use no more than three 90° elbows.
• Install 2 elbows together.
• nstall the range hood outside of the recommended height.
•  Reduce the duct size below the recommended size.

Venting System Setup:

• This Range Hood is 6” top venting through the roof or wall.

IMPORTANT!

• If long duct run is needed, increase the duct size from 6″ to 7″ or 8″ to 9″.
• If a reducer is needed, use a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer and install it as far away from the range hood as possible. Reducing the duct size will restrict and decrease the speed of the airflow and hense lower the range hood’s performance.
• If transitions or turns are needed, install them as far away from the range hood as possible and keep the distance between the 2 as far apart as possible.
• The minimum mounting height should be no less than 24″ and the maximum mounting height should be no more than 30″.
• Also refer to the owner’s manual of the stove top for the height clearance requirement and the recommended mounting height above the range.

Note

• It is important to install the range 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 out of reach and hense reduce its performance and efficiency

Minimum Duct Size:

• Round: 6″ minimum.
• Rectangular: 3-1/4″ x 10″ minimum

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

It is the customer’s responsibility:

• To contact a qualified electrical installer;
• To ensure that the electrical installation is in compliance with applicable codes and standards.

Electrical Requirements:

• A 120V, 60Hz., AC only, 15A fused electrical circuit is required.
• Wire sizes and connections must conform with the power rating of the range hood and all applicable codes and standards.
• DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
• The 3-prong outlet should be grounded. If the power cord plug is not used, the power cord’s green wire should be connected to ground. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure that the range hood is properly grounded.
• DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.
• The range hood must be connected with copper wire/plug only.
• The range hood should be connected directly to the fused disconnect box (or circuit breaker) through flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable. ETL or UL listed strain relief must be provided at each end of the power supply cable.
