CHARACTERISTICS

The range hood is designed for a designer kitchen with the range hood installed directly above cooking appliances against a wall. This hood is a focus point and showpiece in your kitchen and at the same time, it provides you with the benefit of extracting the grease and smoke from your cooking. Please refer to the instructions below.
INSTALLATION & USE
WARNING
1.1. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK
2.2. GROUNDING INSTRUCTION
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING – Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
CAUTION
– To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside
– Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
NOTE: remove protective film (if any) from the exterior surfaces of the hood carefully prior to final installation.
DESCRIPTION / CONNECTION
This range hood should be mounted directly to the support frame mounting, where the support frame flue is secured to the ceiling joist or framework.

• Ductwork can be installed vertically or horizontally.
• Duct runs should be as short as possible.
• Avoid the use of elbows.
• Use duct tape at all joints.
• Do not use duct smaller than the discharge on the hood.

LOCATION PREPARATION
The installation in this manual is intended for qualified installers, service technicians or persons with a similar qualified background. DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could result from installing the unit due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical background. All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded. Accumulated excess grease in old duct work should be cleaned out or duct work should be replaced if necessary to avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Check all joints on duct work to ensure proper connection, and all joints should be properly taped.
Note 1: On stainless steel hoods, carefully remove the protective plastic film from all exterior surfaces of the hood and chimney prior to final installation.
Note 2: At least two people will be required to mount the hood.
MOUNT HEIGHTS & CLEARANCE
Minimum mounting height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 30”
The optimal maximum height shiould be 36″ above the cooktop (please note that the unit can be install up to 72″ 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 loose its performance and efficiency.
Ductwork
This unit is equiped with 2 independent motors that will need to be vented out, therefore there is 2 possible ways to install ductwork:

1. Both motors can be vented with 2 seperate exhaust (see fig. A)
2. The 2 motors can be connected into a “Y” connector, to have only one exhaust at the other end (see fig. B). Please note that the exit of the “Y” connector needs to be minimum 8″ or maximum 10″ if you will be using the provided 6″ duct.

NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or garages.
All exhausts must be ducted to the outside.
Use metal ductwork only.
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
Duct Run Calculation:

e.g. – 1 roof cap, 2×90 elbows, 1×45 elbow
= 30’ + 30’ + 9’=69’ used,
31’ available for straight duct runs
DUCT SIZE
A minimum of 6” round duct must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
Flexible ducts are provided for convenience, always use rigid type metal ducts if available to maximize airflow.
Also use calculation (on left) to calculate total available duct run when using elbows, transitions and caps.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number of transitions and turns. If required for a long duct, increase duct size from 6” to 7 or 8”.
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 pieces as possible.

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 non-abrasive 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. They do not need to be replaced on a regular basis but must be kept clean.
Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use.
Remove and clean by hand in a container 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 and re-install filters before using hood.
Hood Cleaning
The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and filters may cause increased flammability. always Keep unit clean and free of grease and residue build-up to prevent possible fires.
Filters must be cleaned periodically and kept 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. It is recommended that disassembly 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 clean water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.
• For persistent discoloration or deposits that persist, use a non-abrasive household cleanser or stainless-steel polishing powder with a little amount of water and a soft cloth.
• For stubborn stains, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush with a cleanser and water. Rub lightly in the direction of the polishing lines or the “grain” of the stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure as this may mark the surface.
• Do not allow deposits to remain on the surface 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 bulbs. Please be aware that the light will retain hear for a short period of time after being switched off.

Step 1: Using the appropriate tools, remove the LED light from its slot.
