Product Information
The Island range hood models SI(B)520, SI(B)521, SI(B)522, SI(B)523, SI(B)323, SI(B)531 are equipped with various features for efficient ventilation in the kitchen.
Fan Operation
The range hood has three speed settings that allow the user to control the fan’s performance. There is also a timer feature that automatically shuts off the fan after 1 to 9 minutes to clear smoke and grease after cooking. To program the time-delay feature, press the button with the clock icon while the range hood is on and use the lowest speed setting button to toggle between 1 to 9 minutes.
Grease Disposal
After cooking, it is important not to remove filters or grease cups immediately if they are still hot. The nonstick-coated fan blades separate grease from the air, which is then collected in a grease cup for convenient disposal. The grease cup can be used together with mesh filters or alone, depending on the model. Soak all parts in soapy water if there is heavy grease.
Changing Light Bulbs
The range hood uses replaceable light bulbs. Refer to the maintenance section for specific bulb types and descriptions.

aluminum and diluted with water. Direct contact with degreasers may badly
tarnish the filters.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When do I need a Cyclone Range Hood?
Peoples’ cooking habits vary, but getting rid of airborne contaminants and odours which linger in your cooking area is important for everyone. Whether it is steam from cooking soups, steaming vegetables or grease and oil from frying food, it is important for everyone to have efficient ventilation in their kitchen.
Can I install a Cyclone Range Hood myself?
Installing a Cyclone Range Hood is fairly straightforward, and we provide detailed installation instructions. We do not recommend range hood installation for novices to electrical or handy work.
What is the minimum mounting height between the range top to hood bottom?
The minimum mounting height between the cooking surface to the bottom of the range hood should be no less than 30” above a gas range and 28” above an electric range or ceramic cooktop. The maximum height should be no more than 36” above a gas range and 34” above an electric or ceramic cooktop. The hood must be installed at the correct mounting height. Hoods mounted too low can result in heat damage and hoods mounted too high will have impaired performance.
How often do I clean my Cyclone Range Hood?
Cyclone recommends that our range hoods are cleaned at least once every month.
However, cooking habits differ and cleaning should reflect the frequency and
intensity of cooking.
What is the difference between a mesh and a baffle filter?
Most Cyclone Range Hood wall mount models have mesh filters as the standard
which can be exchanged for Baffle Filters. Baffle filters are a durable and
stainless-steel alternative to aluminum mesh filters, capture more grease and
provide a pleasant aesthetic.
Can I get a longer chimney flue to reach my high ceilings?
Cyclone Canopy range hoods can accommodate almost any ceiling height. Extended chimney pieces can be purchased with certain retailers, consult with the retailer that you are shopping with to confirm if they can accommodate your requirements. Otherwise, the correct chimney portions can be purchased separately directly from Cyclone Range Hoods. Cyclone does not exchange the chimney size once the order has been received. For more information about this please feel free to contact Cyclone Range Hood Inc. customer service team before you buy your new range hood.
