Pre-Installation

PLANNING INSTALLATION

Number of people required: 2 or more

1. Before installation, measure all distances to ensure the proper position of the range hood.
   • The minimum distance from the cooking surface to the range hood is 18” (458 mm). If your range specifies a different distance, use the greater distance of the two. For best performance, this distance should not exceed 25” (635 mm).
   • Dimension (A) should be at least 30” (762 mm). The range hood should be approximately the same size as the cook top.
2. If the bottom of the cabinet where the range hood is to be installed is recessed, attach appropriately sized wood filler strips on each side using wood screws.
3. Screws are provided to secure the range hood to most types of cabinets, but consult a qualified installer to verify that the supplied screws are suitable for your cabinets.
4. Put a thick, protective covering over your counter, cooktop, or range to protect it from damage and dirt during installation. Remove any hazardous objects around the area.

VENTING OPTIONS

The first step is to determine whether you have a roof duct or a wall duct venting system. Next, ensure that the damper and power access openings in the cabinet or wall are in the appropriate locations and sizes. The below images shows the 2 types of venting method installation. If this is a new installation, choose the venting method that suits your needs.

Note: the hole for the wire connections may have different placement for both venting type.

FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES WHEN INSTALLING DUCT WORK:

• Your venting system must vent to the outdoors either horizontally through the back wall (A) or vertically through the roof (B) (refer to the wall and roof venting illustrations).
• Use round metal duct work with a uniform diameter of 152 mm (6”). The total duct run in the venting system should not be more than 10.7m (35 ft).
• Calculate the total effective length of the duct work by adding the equivalent lengths in the table shown below. For each fitting used add the length of equivalent straight duct used in the system.
• Fasten all connections between pieces of duct with sheet meet metal screws and tape all joints with certified duct tape.
• If you must turn the path of the duct work using elbows, keep the number of elbows to a minimum for effective performance and use no more than three 90° elbows. Ensure that there is a minimum of 458 mm (18 in) of straight vent between each elbow. Elbow as far away from the range hood’s exhaust opening as possible.
• Cap the exterior of the duct with a wall cap (C) or roof cap (D). Never use 102 mm (4”) laundry-type wall caps. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
• The venting system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range hood.

•          Check that the duct is not clogged with debris and the tight mesh on the wall cap, if

applicable, isn’t restricting air flow

•          Check that the damper unit is opening properly.

•          Check that no birds or animals have nested in the duct.

The lights work, but the fan is not spinning, is stuck, or is rattling.| • The thermal protection system detects if the motor is too hot to operate and shuts the motor down. In this case, the motor will function properly after the thermal protection system cools down (after approximately 10 min).

•       Check that the fan isn’t jammed or scraping the bottom.

•        If nothing else works, the motor may be defective or seized. If so, replace the motor.

The range hood is not venting properly.| •       Check that no birds or animals have nested in the duct.

•       Check that the distance between the cooktop and the bottom of the range hood is between 458 mm (18 in) and 710 mm (28 in).

•       Check that duct work follows all requirements. Use round metal duct work with a uniform diameter of 152 mm (6 in). The length of duct work must not exceed 35 ft (10.7 m). Reduce the length of duct work and the number of elbows if necessary. Ensure that all joints are properly connected, sealed, and taped.

•       Check that the duct does not open against the wind.

•       Ensure that the power is on high speed for heavy cooking.

•       Close all windows nearest to the range hood to eliminate sudden air gusts.

•       To enhance the performance of the range hood, open slightly a window on the opposite side of the house where the range hood vents outdoors.

A light does not work.| •       Check to see if light bulb is burnt. If so, replace.

•       Check the light bulb to see if it is loose. If so, tighten.

•       Remove the problem bulb and insert one you know is working. If the properly functioning light does not come on, the problem may be the light assembly. Have the light assembly serviced or replaced.
