SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbols. These symbols alert you to potential hazards that can hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbols.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERATING THIS APPLIANCE.
- The installation instructions in this manual are intended for qualified installers, service technicians, or persons with similar qualified background. Installation and electrical wiring must be done by qualified professionals and in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including first-rated construction. DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could result from installing the unit due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical background. Due to the size and weight of this range hood, two people installation is recommended.
- Range hood may have very sharp edges; please wear protective gloves if it is necessary to remove any parts for installing, cleaning, or servicing.
- Activating any switch ON before completing installation may cause ignition or an explosion.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURE TO PERSONS, PLEASE
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWINGS:
- Your safety and the safety of others is very important. We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
- All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated, and grounded.
- Old duct work should be cleaned or replaced, if necessary, to avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Check all joints on duct work to insure proper connection, all joints should be properly taped.
- When the range hood ventilates the air out of the room, the air vented must be replaced, this is called make-up air. If a makeup air system is needed, but not used, a hood may not function as expected due to negative air pressure. We do not currently provide a make-up air unit. Always consult any applicable building codes in your area regarding minimum and maximum air flow rates. Certain states may require additional items such as make-up air for larger CFM range hoods (typically over 300 CFM). • To reduce the risk of fire and to disperse air properly, make sure to vent air outside. DO NOT vent exhaust into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceilings, attics, or garages.
- For residential ventilating use only. DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors. The combustion air flow needed for safe operation of fuel-burning equipment may be affected by this unit’s operation. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the duct to prevent back drafting.
- Ducted range hoods MUST ALWAYS be vented to the outdoors. All our range hoods come with a transition piece with a built-in damper. Some existing installations may already have an external damper. Please consult an HVAC or installation professional for advice to comply with local regulations.
- Keep all fans, baffle, spaces, filter, grease tunnel, oil container and grease-laden surfaces clean. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, baffle, spaces, filter, grease tunnel or oil container. Clean grease-laden surfaces frequently.
- This appliance is design to be operated by adults. Children were not allowed to temper with the controls or play with this appliance.
- To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
- When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
- Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power OFF at service panel and lock service panel to prevent power from being switched ON accidentally.
- Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the FORNO.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A STOVE TOP GREASE FIRE:
- All FORNO range hoods are ETL listed, ensuring all parts were tested for safety and meet industry standards and regulations. NOTE: This ensures all included metal ducting pieces were tested for safety and are flame retardant.
- Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods (Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe). Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
- Clean hood frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
- Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION
- Please plug in and check that all functions are working
TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED (Not supplied)
MOUNT HEIGHTS & CLEARANCE
The minimum mounting height between range top to hood bottom should be no less
than 30”. The maximum height should be 36″ above the cooktop (**please note
that the 36”, 48” & 60” unit can install up to 42″ above the cooktop, but it
may result in a loss of
efficiency) 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 lose its performance and
efficiency.
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 SIZE
A minimum of φ 6” for 30” & 10’’ for 36”, 48’’ and 60’’ round duct must be
used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
Flexible ducts are provided for convenience, always use rigid type metal ducts
to maximize airflow.
Also use calculation (on left) to compute total available duct run when using
elbows, transitions, and caps.
ALWAYS, reduce the number of transitions and turns. If required a long duct
increase duct size from 6” to 8” for the 30” & from 10” to 12” for the 36”,
48” and 60”.
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

---|---
NOTE: Air Outlet Adapter on the FRHWM5094-30 is pre-installed on the unit.
- Lay out the vent duct system before installing the range hood to determine the best routing for the vent duct.
- It is recommended that the vent system be installed before the range hood is installed.
- Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling for exhaust vent.
- Range hood is to be installed 30″ min. from cooking surfaces.
- Check your ceiling height and the range hood height maximum before you install your hood.
- At least two people will be required to mount the hood
RANGE HOOD INSTALLATION
-
Find the center of the wall where you are installing the hood. NOTES: Be sure there is sufficient bracing to hold the weight of the unit. Draw a vertical line on the supporting wall up to the ceiling, or as high as practical, at the center of the area in which the hood will be installed. Figure 1.
-
Draw a horizontal line at desired height (min 30” above the cooktop). Figure 1.
-
Place the hood on the wall with the center to the vertical reference line and make sure the bottom part of the hood aligns with the horizontal line. With the range in position, mark the wall at the center of the holes in the bracket and remove the hood from the wall. Finally drill the holes and fix the expansion bolt. NOTES: Make sure you are leaving the heads out ¼” to mount the hood. Figure 2.
-
Attach the hood body to the mounting screws on the wall. NOTES: Make sure the mounting screws are properly leveled before tightening the screws. Figure 3.
-
Place chimney mounting brackets on the wall 1/8” from the ceiling or upper limit aligning the center with the vertical reference line. Figure 4.
-
Fix the two brackets (Chimney mounting bracket and Decorative frame bracket) using the mounting screws and drywall anchors. Figure 4.
DUCT INSTALLATION
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use metal ductwork only. -
Install the air outlet adapter over the hood with the provided screws (φ 6” for 30” & 10’’ for 36’’,48’’ and 60’’). Figure 5.
-
Make your ducting and electrical connections. You will need to minimize the use of elbows, since elbows and longer duct create higher static pressure. (See Connections section)
-
Connect the duct with the air outlet adapter by using foil-backed tape to seal the joints and to hold it in place. Figure 6.
NOTE: PLACE THE POWER OUTLET AND POWER CORD BEHIND THE CHIMNEY. SHOWN BELLOW. CONNECTIONS
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use metal ductwork is preferred.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.
4. The air must not be discharge into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels” “Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
5. Install a roof/wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.
CHIMNEY ASSEMBLY
-
Install the two-part chimneys on top of the hood (2.1 & 2.2). Slide the inside section (2.1) up until the vertical vent slots are visible, attach top portion to chimney mounting bracket with screws (10.b). Shown to the right & Figure 9.
-
Slide the outer section (2.2) down the outside of the inside section (2.1). Carefully lower the chimney to the recessed area of the hood body top and secure it in the gap of hood body top. Figure 8 & 9.
-
Slide the decorative crown onto the chimney mounting bracket and secure into place. Figure 10.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Surface Maintenance:
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use
corrosive or abrasive detergent (e.g., comet 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 nonabrasive 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
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. Always keep unit clean and free of grease and residue build-up
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.
LIGHT bulbs
WARNING: Please ensure lights have been switched off for some time and
the power source has been disconnected before replacing any globes. Please be
aware that the light will retain heat for a short period of time after being
switched off.
Step 1: Turn anti-clockwise to open
Step 2: Take the existing globe out
Step 3: Insert a new globe (1.5W GU10 LED) and turn clockwise in lock position
TROUBLESHOOTING
My hood is operating, but the air is moving slower than normal.
Check the filter for buildup and clean or replace it if needed. If the
difficulty persists, check for obstructions in the ductwork. A common
obstruction is buildup in the roof or wall cap, such as: bird nests or other
debris.
What is make-up air?
When the range hood ventilates the air out of the room, the air vented must be
replaced, this is called make-up air. We do not currently provide a make-up
air unit. NOTE: Always consult any applicable building codes in your area
regarding minimum and maximum air flow rates. Certain states may require
additional items such as make-up air for larger CFM range hoods (typically
over 300 CFM).
My range hood will not operate.
- Check that there is power to the range hood. The most common issue is that the circuit breaker is off, or the fuse has blown.
- Make sure the speed has been selected at the range hood controls.
- Turn off power to the range hood and check that all the wires are properly connected.
My range hood is making a rattling noise.
This is probably attributed to one of the following:
- The motor is loose – Turn off the power and remove the filter and check that all screws are secure and tight around the motor.
- The duct work connection is loose – Turn off the power to the unit and check that the ductwork connection to the pipe is tight. Add duct tape is necessary.
My range hood does not have power.
- Check electrical connections.
- . Check that all connections to the circuit board are secure.
- If the problem persists, please contact Forno Technical Support.
My range hood is not pulling.
- Was the unit plugged in and was the fan checked before installation?
- What distance is the hood mounted above the cook top?
- Is the range hood width the correct size for the cook top?
- Does the hood have enough BTU output in relationship to either their gas or electric stove cook top?
- BTU output per burner/100 – for gas
- Wattage output per burner/10 – for electric
- Are the baffle filters or mesh filters installed correctly? When were they last cleaned?
- Is the ducting clear?
- Is the damper opening properly once the hood is turned on?
- Is there air coming off the top of the hood?
- Is there air coming out of the upper chimney section?
- When tissue is placed on the baffle filters under the hood, does it hold the tissue?
- How many elbows and how long is the ducting run?
- Should be no more than 2-3 elbows, for every elbow subtract 15 feet. (See Duct Run Calculation Section).
