Preparation: What to Do Before Installation

Before installing your range hood, carefully follow these steps:

1. Read This Manual
   Read through all the steps. If you fail to read the instructions carefully, we will not be responsible for damages incurred on your part. If you’re not confident in your abilities to install the range hood properly, we recommend hiring a certified technician to complete the installation. While reading through the manual, ensure you have the necessary tools and parts according to the previous page.

2. Remove Packaging
   Open the box and carefully unbox the range hood. Remove any packaging, including the plastic wrap and protective plastic film, from the hood and the chimney covers. You can use stainless steel cleaner to wipe down the surface if desired.
   Keep all packaging materials until you are satisfied with our product.

3. Ensure There is Proper Height Clearance
   To ensure the highest performance, the bottom of your range hood must be between 24” and 30” from the top of the cooking surface. For gas ranges, the required distance is 30”.
   Installing at the incorrect height could lead to drastic reduction in the range’s performance or even cause a fire.

4. Check Your Power Supply and Ducts
   Check to ensure your main voltage is in line with the required voltage outlined on the rating plate inside this hood. Also check the domestic power supply to guarantee adequate earthing before installation.When ducting to the outside, don’t connect the range hood to exhaust ducts that carry any type of combustion fumes like fireplaces, boilers, or any similar items. The vents should have a short, straight run to the outside. Avoid any elbows if possible, and if an elbow is required, a minimum of a 12” straight run is imperative before the elbow.

5. Complete Duct Work (for ducted mode)
   Remove the three baffle filters from the range hood by pulling the levers out and slowly removing them. Set them aside.Decide where the ductwork (not included) will run between the hood and the outside. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently. 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.
   Attach an adequate length of approximately 6 inches round duct to the air outlet adapter. The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Be sure to fulfill all regulations concerning air discharge.
   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. (The roof/wall cap should be sourced locally).

6. Figure Out Ducting Requirements & Install Adapter
   Install duct adapter by placing adpter on top of vent exit and securing the 4 screws (EE).

7. Adding Hood Rubber Ring
   Attach rubber, washer and screws (FF) to the back of the hood to protect the hood from the wall

8. Find a Helper
   This range hood is best installed by two or more people due to its size and weight. Again, it is recommended to hire a certified technician for installation to reduce the risk of damage or injury.

How to Install Your Range Hood

When you’ve completed all the preparation steps, you’re ready to install your range hood.

1. Thoroughly Inspect the Unit and Ensure You Are Satisfied With It
   Check your range hood for damaged or missing parts. Plug it in to an outlet to ensure the fan and lights work. If anything is damaged or missing, contact the manufacturer to get the issues solved. Don’t throw away packaging until you’re sure you are fully satisfied with the product.
   IMPORTANT: Power the range hood and test all functions before proceeding with the installation. If the range hood is not working properly, please contact us immediately (1-800-929-0168 / [email protected]).

2. Place the Chimney Mounting Bracket
   Secure the chimney mounting bracket (8) to the wall using two hood mounting screws (AA) and brick anchors (BB) if need. Make sure that the top of the bracket is about one inch from the ceiling or upper limit of the installation area, aligning the center notch with the vertical reference line. See Fig. 1

3. Mount the Hood
   If you are the only person installing the hood:
   Install the two hood mounting screws (AA) along with the corresponding anchors (BB) if it is a brick wall. The distance between the two screws should be 8-3/4″. Use a level to ensure the two screws are level.
   Hook the hood body onto the screws (AA) that are already mounted onto the wall and securely tighten the screws. Or, if you have a helper:
   One person should hold the hood exactly where you want it to be installed. While one person holds the hood firmly against the wall, the other person should install the screws through the hood and tighten them securely. See Fig. 2

4. Attach Duct to Outlet Adapter (for ducted mode only)
   CAUTION: to reduce risk of fire, use metal ductwork only.
   Now, attach an adequate length of 6-inch round duct to the top of the outlet adapter. Secure the duct, taping all joints to ensure proper connection. Then, make sure the two flappers on the damper assembly operate freely.

5. Telescopic Chimney Assembly
   Chimney Bottom: Carefully slide the chimney bottom (3) down outside the chimney top (4) partly, and then carefully place the chimney bottom (3) into the recessed area of the hood body top.
   Chimney Top: Raise the chimney top (4) up inside the chimney bottom(3). Secure the chimney top (4) to the chimney mounting bracket (8) with chimney mounting. Top and bottom chimneys attachment with chimney screws (CC)

6. Install Charcoal Filter (for non-ducted mode)
   If you want to use your range hood in non-ducted mode, you will need charcoal filters. Charcoal filters are not included andcan be purchased separately on our website: www.hauslane.com
   To install the charcoal filter, you’ll first need to remove the grease filter. Then, install the charcoal filter by placing the charcoal filter to the side of the blower, turn to lock the filter in place. The air will flow out from the two grids on the two sidesof the chimney top.
   After placing the charcoal filter, re-install the grease filter.
   The charcoal filter is not washable and should be replaced approximately every 3 months, or more frequently for heavy use.

Be Careful with Electrical Connections.
WARNING: Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Turn off electrical power at service entrance before wiring.
