This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential
hazards that can hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the
safety alert symbol and the word “WARNING”. The manufacturer and/or
distributor/reseller declines all responsibility in the event of failure to
observe the instructions given here for installation, maintenance and suitable
use of the product. The manufacturer and/or distributor/reseller further
declines all responsibility for injury due to negligence and the warranty of
the unit automatically expires due to improper maintenance. The manufacturer
and/or distributor/reseller will not be held responsible for any damages to

Height & Clearance
Venting Requirements
Hood 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. Use metal duct work only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. A minimum of 6″ round (standard for this range hood, purchased separately must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency DO NOT use plastic vent. DO NOT use 4″ (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with aluminum tape.
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
A distance of 24″ to 31″ 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 6″ (15.2 cm) or bigger round metal/ aluminum vent work.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If long
duct run is required, increase duct size from 6″ to 7″ or 6″. If a reducer is
used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer. Reducing duct size
will restrict airflow and decrease airflow, thus 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. The size of the
vent should be uniform. Use no more than three 90° elbows. Make sure there is
a minimum of 24″ of straight vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is
used. DO NOT install two elbows together.

Troubleshooting
If the range hood or lights does not operate after installation:
Check if the range hood has been plugged in, make sure that all power has been
turned back ON, the fuse is not blown and all electrical wiring is properly
connected. Swap out light assembly to working ones to determine whether it is
caused by defective bulbs. See replacing the light bulbs on Page 13.
The range hood vibrates when the blower is on:
The range hood might not have been secured properly on to the ceiling or wall.
Check if the motor is secured in place. If not, then tighten the motor in
place. Check if the blower wheel is a damaged.
The blower or fan seems weak:
Check that the duct sized used is at least 6″. Range hood WILL NOT function
efficiently with insufficient duct size & loosely secured. Check if duct is
clogged or if damper unit (half-circular flapper) is not installed correctly
or opening properly. A tight mesh on a side wall cap unit might also cause
restriction to the air flow.
The lights work but the blower is not spinning at all, is stuck or is
rattling.
The blower might be jammed or scraping the bottom due to shipping damage.
Please contact us immediately. The motor is defective. possibly seized –
change the motor.
The hood is not venting out properly:
Make sure the distance between the stove top and the bottom of the hood is
within 26″ 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 hood is noiser than normal
The duct is not secure and causes vibration he smaller duct size than required
is using
Replacing the Light Bulb
- Make sure the range hood is unplugged or turn OFF breaker.
- Use the small fiat crew driver to lift any where around the outsider ring as show in below picture Arrow.
- Install new light bulb
- Put back the light set by press it in.
- Turn ON breaker and range hood to test for operation.
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 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.
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 Maintenance on Page 33). 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.
Maintenance
SAFETY WARNING : Never put your hand into area housing the fan while the fan is operating! For optimal operation, clean range hood and all baffle/spacer/ filter/grease tunnel/oil container regularly. Regular care will help preserve the appearance of the range hood.
Cleaning Exterior surfaces
Clean periodically with hot soapy water 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 soil use liquid degrease such as “Formula
409®” or “Fantastic®” brand cleaner. If 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 hood finish. Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution,
gently rub off any stubborn spots. Use 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,
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 Filters
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 clean by hand or dishwasher. Spray “Formula 409®” or equivalent degreasing detergent and leave to soak if heavily soiled. Dry filters and re-install before using hood.
