VENTING REQUIREMENTS
· Duct system must terminate to the outside (roof or side wall). · DO NOT
terminate the duct system in an attic or other enclosed area. · DO NOT use 4″
(10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps. · Use metal/aluminum duct only. Rigid
metal/aluminum vent is recommended. · DO NOT use plastic duct. · 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 from countertop/stove
to range hood (recommend 24″ to 30″). 3. Height of hood and duct cover.
For the most efficient & quiet operation: · A distance of 24″ to 30″ is
recommended between stove top and the bottom of range hood. · It is
recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof through
8″ or bigger round metal/aluminum
duct work. · The size of the duct should be uniform. · Use no more than three
90° elbows. · Make sure there is a minimum of 24″ (61 cm) of straight duct
between the elbows if more than one elbow is used. · DO NOT install two elbows
together. · The length of duct system and number of elbows should be kept to a
minimum to provide efficient performance. · The duct system must have a
damper. If roof or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT use damper (if supplied) on
top of the
range hood. · Use aluminum foil tape to seal all joints in the duct system. ·
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap. USE 8″
ROUND ROOF OR WALL VENT CAP.
IMPORTANT: · A minimum of a 8″ round duct (standard for this range hood) must
be used to maintain maximum airflow
efficiency. · Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to
maximize airflow when connecting to provided
duct. · Please use Duct Run Calculation below to compute total available duct
run when using elbows, transitions
and caps. · ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns
in the duct run. If a reducer is used,
install a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer. Reducing the duct size
will restrict airflow and decrease efficiency. · If turns or transitions are
required: Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as
possible. · Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no
less than 24-inch. · Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom
should be no higher than 30-inch. · 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
loose its performance and efficiency. · If available, also refer to stove top
manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting
height above range.
Minimum Duct Size: · Round – 8″. Use Aluminimum foil tape to properly seal.

CALCULATING DUCT SYSTEM LENGTH
To calculate the length of the duct system you require, subtract the equivalent feet for each “Duct piece” (Table Below) used in the system from the “Recommended maximum run” (Table Below). The longest duct run that is acceptable (if completely straight) is 50 feet. The number of duct pieces (elbow, transition, etc.) installed in your duct run will determine the maximum length the duct run can be. Please refer to the example below:
Duct Run Calculation: Recommended maximum run 8″ round duct
Duct piece deduction Each 90º elbow used Each 45º elbow used Each round to
rectangle transition used Side wall cap with damper Roof cap
Duct Run Calcuation example:
50 ft One roof cap, two 90º elbows, and one 45º elbow used:
7ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 30ft used.
9 ft
5 ft 7 ft
The above duct pieces used are equivalent to 30ft
of a straight duct run. Subtract 30ft from the allowable 50ft. The remaining
distance of 20ft is the
longest that the straight ducting (in addition to the 7 ft vent pieces) can be.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If the range hood or lights do not operate after · installation:
·
Check if the range hood has been plugged in, make sure that all power has been
turned back ON, fused not blown and all electrical wiring are
properly connected.
Swap out light assembly to working ones to determine whether it is caused by
defective bulbs. See Replacing the light bulbs page.
2. The range hood vibrates when the blower is on:
· The range hood might not have been secured properly on to the ceiling or
wall.
· The impeller may be out of balance.
3. The blower or fan seems weak:
· Duct is too small. Range hood WILL NOT function efficiently with
insufficient duct size. For example: Connecting this hood to 4″, 5″ or 6″ duct
will reduce the suction and create extra noise and vibrations.
Check if duct is clogged or if damper unit is not installed correctly or
opening properly. A tight mesh
on a side wall cap unit might also cause restriction
to the air flow.
4. The lights work but the blower is not spinning at all, · The blower might be jammed or scraping the
is stuck or is rattling.
bottom due to shipping damage. Please contact us
immediately.
5. The hood is not venting out properly:
· Make sure the distance between the stove top and the bottom of the hood is
within 24″ and 30″ in distance. Due to different ceiling height
configurations, recommended height may not be applicable.
· Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct
work. Check if all joints are properly connected, sealed, and taped.
· Make sure the power is on high speed for heavy cooking.
· The duct size must be 8″, or larger. Please make sure there are NO reducers
or plenums in the duct
work. · Refer to Duct Venting in the Venting Methods

DO’S AND DON’TS FOR DUCT VENTING
a. Avoid the use of sharp elbows. Use 45 degrees instead, if possible. b. DO
NOT use REDUCERS. Keep the size of the duct the same, as per the manual. A
reducer will
reduce the CFM of the hood and increase the noise. c. DO NOT use plenum boxes.
Boxes create turbulence and make the hood inefficient. Use a smooth
elbow to guide the air outdoors.

MAINTENANCE
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 blowers could catch on
to hair, fingers and loose clothing. · NEVER dispose cigarette ashes,
ignitable substances, or any foreign objects into blowers. · 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. · The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and filters may
cause increased inflammability. Keep 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 accumulation of
cooking residue. Old and worn filters must
be replaced immediately. · DO NOT operate blowers 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 area
housing the fan while the fan is operating!
Cleaning Exterior surfaces: · Clean periodically with stainless steel cleaner
and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive
detergent (e.g. Comet Power Scruv®, EZ-Off® oven cleaner), or steel
wool/scoring pads, which will scratch and damage the stainless steel surface.
For heavier oil use liquid degrease such as “Forumla 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 solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions of the
stainless steel cleaner. CAUTION: Do not leave on too long as this may cause
damage to the hood finish. Use a soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution,
gently rub off any stubborn spots. Use a dry soft towel to dry the hood. ·
After cleaning, you may use non abrasive stainless steel polish such as 3M® or
ZEP®, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub
lightly, a with 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 and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Cleaning Aluminum Grease Filter / Stainless Steel Filterless Grill:
· IMPORTANT: Drain oil from oil containers before oil and residue overflow! ·
The metal filters fitted by the factory are intended to filter out residue and
grease from cooking. It need not be
replaced on a regular basis but are required to be kept clean. · Filters
should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use.
· Remove and HAND WASH ONLY. Spray “Formula 409®” or equivalent degreasing
detergent and leave to soak if heavily soiled. Dry filters and re-install
before using hood.
Replacing Filters:
· Should filters wear out due to age and prolonged use, please contact Victory
Range Hoods to order · Note: Also replace damaged filter that has punctured or
broken mesh, bent or broken frame.
