RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

CAUTION
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURE TO PERSONS, PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWINGS:

1. Installation work and electric wiring (including switch location) must be done by the qualified person(s) in accordance with local applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
2. The hood may have sharp edges. Be careful when handling to avoid cuts and abrasions during installation and cleaning.
3. The hood must be placed at a minimum distance of 25″ from the electric cooktop and 30″ from gas cooktop.
4. Provide sufficient ventilation for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the chimney to prevent backdrafting. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association, and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineer (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
5. Hood must always be vented to the outdoors.
6. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
7. This appliance is design to be operated by adults. Children were not allowed to temper with the controls or play with this appliance.
8. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
9. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
10. Before servicing or cleaning the hood, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
3. Clean hood frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

INSTALLATION & USE

NOTE: remove protective film (if any) from the exterior surfaces of the hood carefully prior to final installation.

DESCRIPTION / CONNECTION

This range hood should be mounted directly to the support frame mounting, where the support frame flue shall secure to the ceiling joist or framework.

• Ductwork can be installed vertically or horizontally.
• Duct runs should be as short as possible.
• Avoid the use of elbows.
• Use duct tape at all joints.
• Do not use duct smaller than the discharge on the hood.

LOCATION PREPARATION

The installation in this manual is intended for qualified installers, service technicians or persons with similar qualified background. DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could result from installing the unit due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical background.

All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded. Overly accumulated grease in old duct work should be cleaned out or duct work should be replaced if necessary to avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Check all joints on duct work to insure proper connection and all joints should be properly taped.

Note 1 :On stainless steel hoods, carefully remove the plastic protective film from all exterior surfaces of the hood and chimney prior to final installation.
Note 2 : At least two people will be required to mount the hood.

MOUNT HEIGHTS & CLEARANCE

Minimum mount height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 25″

Maximum mount height should be no higher than 30″

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 range manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting height above range.

• Maximum ceiling clearance 106.5″ at 27.5″ hood mounting height from stove (different models may varies)

** For higher ceiling, extension of the chimney and the decorative cover is available to purchase, if require.

Ducting (not provided)

NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or garages.

All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.

Use Metal ductwork only.

Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints w/ certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.

Duct Run Calculation:

e.g. — 1 roof cap, 2×90 elbows, 1×45 elbow
= 30′ + 30′ + 9’=69′ used,
31′ available for straight duct runs

DUCT SIZE

A minimum of 6″ round duct must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency.

Flexible ducts are provided for convenience, always use rigid type metal ducts if available to maximizing airflow.

Also use calculation (on left) to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions and caps.

ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If required a long duct increase duct size from 6″ to 7 or 8″.

If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of pancake reducer. Reduce duct size as far away from opening as possible.

If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as possible.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Surface Maintenance:

Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergent (e.g. cornet powder scrub, EZ-Off oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads which will scratch and damage surface.

For heavier soil use liquid degreaser such as ‘Formula 409’ or ‘Fantastic’ brand cleaner.

After cleaning, you may use non abrasive stainless steel polish/cleaners such as 3M or ZEP, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain

Stainless Steel Hybrid Filters:

The 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 clean by hand in a basin of hot soapy water. The filter is also dishwasher safe.

If heavily soiled, spray ‘Formula 409’ or equivalent degreasing detergent and leave to soak.

Dry filters and re-install before using hood.

Hood Cleaning

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 (see cleaning instructions inside). 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. Call our service center for removal instructions.

Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help preserve its fine appearance.

Cleaning tips:

• Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
• Rinse with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.
• For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder with a little amount of water and a soft cloth.
• For stubborn stain, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or “grain” of the stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure that may mar the surface.
• Do not allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
• Do not use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface causing rust.
• 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 that may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
• Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
