PARTS SUPPLIED:

VENTING REQUIREMENTS:

• Vent system must terminate to the outside (Roof or side wall).
• DO NOT terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
• DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
• Use metal/aluminum vent only. Rigid metal/ aluminum vent is recommended.
• DO NOT use plastic vent.
• Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow.
• Calculate the following figures before installation:
  1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling
  2. Distance between the floor to the countertop/stove
  3. Distance between the cooking surface to the range hood (recommend 24” to 30”) minimum of 30” is required for gas cook top
  4. Height of hood and duct cover

For the most efficient & quiet operation:

• A distance of 24” to 30” is recommended between stove top and the bottom of range hood. 30” minimum is required for gas stove tops.
• It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof through 6” (15.3 cm) or bigger round metal/aluminum vent work.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• Use no more than three 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24” (61 cm) of straight vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
• DO NOT install two elbows together.
• The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
• The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT use damper (if supplied) on top of the range hood.
• Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

HEIGHT & CLEARANCE:

IMPORTANT:

• A minimum of 6” round or 3-1/4 x 10” rectangular duct (purchased separately) must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
• Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airflow when connecting to provided duct.
• Please use Duct Run Calculation below to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions and caps.
• ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If long duct run is required, increase duct size from 6” to 7” or 8”. 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 two (2), as possible.
• Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 24-inch for electric cook tops and minimum of 30-inch for gas stove tops and no higher than 30-inch for electric cook tops.
• 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 may be hard to reach and will lose its performance and efficiency.
• If available, also refer to stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting height above range.

CALCULATING VENT SYSTEM LENGTH:

To calculate the length of the system you need, deduct the equivalent feet for each vent piece used in the system from the recommended maximum duct run.
Duct Run Calculation example:
One roof cap, two 90º elbows, and one 45º elbow use
0ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 23ft used.
Deduct 23ft from 30ft, 7ft maximum available for straight duct run.

Duct Run Calculation:

Recommended maximum run
6″ or 3-1/4 x 10″ duct| 30 ft
Vent piece deduction
Each 90° elbow used| 9 ft
Each 45° elbow used| 5 ft
Each 6″ to 3-1/4 x 10″ transition used| 7 ft
Side wall cap with damper| 0 ft

VENTING METHODS:

• This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
• Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.

IMPORTANT:

• 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/aluminum duct work only.
• Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:

IMPORTANT:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the customer’s responsibility to contact a qualified electrical installer.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
A 120-Volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, fused electrical supply is required on a separate 15-amp circuit, fused on both sides of the line.
DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure that the range hood is properly grounded.
DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
IMPORTANT: Save this Installation Guide for electrical inspector’s use.
The range hood must be connected with copper wire/plug only.
The range hood should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable. UL/CSA listed strain relief must be provided at each end of the power supply cable.

• Measure the distance between stove top and the bottom of range hood. A distance of 24″ to 30″ is recommended with a minimum of 30” for gas stove tops.
• To reach 9ft ceiling make sure hood is installed at 30″ from cooking surface
• If you require longer chimney flue to reach your ceiling please contact vendor.

Step 2: Installing the hood mounting bracket

• Determine and mark the center line on the ceiling where the range hood will be installed. Make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent
• The ceiling must be able to bear at least 40 kg (88 Ibs.) of weight, and the thickness of the ceiling must be at least 30 mm (1.18 in.)
• Drill 1*170 mm (6.7″) round hole in the ceiling.
• Run house electrical wires to the electrical box on the bracket.Black to Black, White to White, and Green to Green or Bare wires.
• In line with the hanging board, drill 12 holes in the ceiling. (See Fig. #1)
• Using appropriate screws attach the hanging board to the ceiling
• Use supplied screws and nuts with washer to attach the angle iron into the hanging board. (See Fig. #2)
• Calculate the total length of the angle iron required so that the overlap angle iron is no less than 100 mm (39.4″) and that the distance from the bottom of the range hood and the cooking surface is between 61 to 76 cm (24″ to 30″)
• Attach the 2 sections of the angle iron together for each corner using provided flat screws and nuts.

Step 3: Venting

• Fix the damper on the top vent of hood with screws. (See Fig. #3)
• Let the ducting pipe go inside through the hole from the ceiling. (See Fig. #4)
• Measure the length of 6“ round metal duct required from the dampler / duct connector to the ductwork rough-in in the ceiling. Connect the duct to the damper / duct connector and seal with duct tape.

Step 4: Electrical

• Use the supplied S hook to hold up the chimneys while feeding the electrical wires. (See Fig. #5)

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 fans could catch on to hair, fingers and loose clothing.
• NEVER dispose cigarette ashes, ignitable substances, or any foreign objects into fans.
• 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 fan 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 Cleaning Instructions below). Old and worn filters must be replaced immediately.
• DO NOT operate fans 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.

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 tray/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 Scrub®, 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 to these compounds and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Cleaning Filters:
IMPORTANT: Drain oil from baffles, spacers, filters, oil tunnels, oil containers before oil and residue overflow!

• Remove all baffles, spacers, filters, grease tray, and oil containers and discard oil and residue.
• Wash with warm soapy water. NOTE: Stainless steel baffles, spacers and oil tunnel are top rack dishwasher safe.
• Dry thoroughly before replacing and follow directions for installation in reverse.
• Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use.
• Should filters wear out due to age and prolonged use, replace with a new filter.
