INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

  1. This appliance was designed for ease of installation and operation. However, we recommend that you read all sections of this manual before you begin installation.
  2. Do not remove permanently affixed labels, warnings or data plates from your appliance. This may void the manufacturer’s warranty and/or hinder effective servicing and maintenance. These instructions are to remain with the appliance and the consumer is to retain them for future reference.
  3. Please observe all local and national build codes and ordinances. If no local codes are applicable, please follow all wiring requirements in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
  4. Please check your local codes for any make-up air requirements.
  5. This hood is for residential use only and is not designed for installation over a commercial product.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury observe the following:

  • Use this unit in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
  • Before cleaning or servicing unit, turn power off to the unit at the service panel.
  • Installation work and electrical work must be performed by qualified individuals in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
  • Do not damage any existing electrical or hidden utilities when drilling, cutting and/or removing a wall, ceiling or floor.
  • Sufficient air is required to properly exhaust gases through the flue of natural and liquid propane fueled cooking equipment to avoid any backdrafts.
  • Use only metal ductwork. Do not use flexible or corrugated duct.
  • Never vent ducted exhaust air into another room or garage. Ducted exhaust air must vent outdoors.

WARNING

  • If a fire should occur, do not turn on hood to evacuate smoke. Turn off hood.
  • Do not use to exhaust hazardous, flammable or explosive materials.
  • Clean baffle filters often, since accumulated grease can be a fire hazard and affect the performance of your ventilation hood.

Handling:

  • Do not remove the hood from original packaging until you are ready to install.
  • Remove all watches, belt buckles, jewelry, rings and any clothing with metal buttons or snaps to prevent damage to the hood.
  • When you begin the installation process, remove the hood from its original packaging and place on a clean, nonabrasive blanket.
  • When removing the hood from the carton, locate the filters since they could be packed separately.

Unpacking:

  • Ensure the container is upright. If the container is not upright, major damage can occur to your appliance.
  • Move the container as close to its installation location as possible. This will reduce moving and handling your appliance once it is out of its shipping container.

CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this ventilation unit only with manufacturer approved blowers. This includes blowers rated maximum 8.4 amps – remote or combined integral blowers. Your ventilation hood is designed to work specifically with the integral or remote blower requested.

Site Preparation: Selecting the Appropriate Height for Installation
In selecting the proper height to mount the hood, take into consideration the stature of the person or persons who will be cooking. A minimum height of 30” off the cooking surface to a maximum height of 36” will suit most users. It is recommended, but not required, that the hood be 6” wider than the cooking appliance to provide a proper capture area for heat and grease.

The bottom of the hood should be 30” minimum to 36” maximum above the countertop. This would typically result in the bottom of the hood being 66” – 72” above the floor. The bottom of the hood should never be more than 72” above the floor or more than 36” above the countertop. These dimensions provide safe and efficient operation of the hood.

Preparation

Installation of Ducting for Proper Operation:
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, observe the following:

  • Use only metal ductwork. Do not use flexible or corrugated duct.

Proper installation of ducting is extremely important for optimal performance of your ventilation system. It is a basic requirement that the kitchen is provided with an air intake to ensure good air circulation and, therefore, proper operation of the hood. Without this incoming air, a depression could form that would reduce the efficiency of the ventilation system.

  • Be sure to follow local building codes for electrical, structural, general HVAC, and make-up air requirements.
  • If duct shape is changed along path (round to square), the cross-sectional area must not be reduced.
  • The duct run should be kept under 30 feet for a straight run. For every 90 degree turn in the duct run, subtract 5 feet from the total (25’ for a duct run with 1 elbow, 20’ for a duct run with 2 elbows, and so on). Longer runs will result in decreased performance and possible noise concerns.
  • Avoid sharp-angled turns. Use smooth gradual turns, such as adjustable elbows or 45-degree angled turns.
  • Airflow must not be restricted at the end of the duct run.
  • A backflow damper is not provided. It should be sourced locally and sized for your specific duct work.
  • Duct should terminate to an outdoor space above the roof line or outside a side wall of the building. Do not terminate the run into an attic or chimney.

Electrical Specifications:
This hood is designed to be plugged into a dedicated 3prong ANSI or Non-GFCI outlet – 120Volt, 60Hz, 1Ph, 10amp. min.
Outlet location: Confirm with local building codes for accessibility requirements. The outlet may be positioned above the hood shell to provide access for the cord along the duct exhaust. Ensure the outlet will not be obstructed by the duct work. The power cord  will extend up to 36” from the top of the liner.

Depending on specific installation conditions, access to the outlet may be difficult.
If an appropriate outlet is not available or is inconvenient due to the specific installation, the power cord may be removed at the liner’s junction box, and the hood may be direct wired to a dedicated non-GFCI 120V, 60Hz, 1Ph, 10amp min circuit. Use 14-2 MC shielded cable or equivalent, unless directed otherwise by local building codes.BlueStar AT Color Match Wall Mount Range
