A FEW SIMPLE RULES TO PLAN YOUR DUCTWORK

THIS HOOD IS DESIGNED TO USE A 6” ROUND DUCT – IT MAY BE TRANSITIONED TO A 3-1/4” X 10” RECTANGULAR DUCT

NEVER REDUCE DUCT SIZE. UNDERSIZED DUCTING SEVERELY RESTRICTS AIR FLOW AND HARMS PERFORMANCE.
(Example: the area of a 6” Duct is more than TWICE that of a 4” Duct)

KEEP DUCT RUNS AS SHORT AND STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE.
AVOID USING FLEXIBLE METAL DUCTING IF RUN IS LONGER THAN 6’.
NEVER USE PLASTIC DUCTING.
USE SMOOTH BORE METAL DUCTING.
MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF FITTINGS (see chart).

WHEN YOU MUST USE FITTINGS, TRY TO SEPARATE THEM WITH SECTIONS OF 3’ OR MORE OF STRAIGHT DUCT.

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S GUIDELINES FOR THE COOKING EQUIPMENT YOU ARE VENTING.

IF MAKE UP AIR CONTROL DAMPERS ARE REQUIRED, POSITION THE SENSOR IN A STRAIGHT RUN OF DUCT IDEALLY WITH 3’ OF STRAIGHT DUCT BETWEEN EACH SIDE OF THE SENSOR AND A DUCT FITTING. REMEMBER TO INCLUDE POWER AND CONTROL WIRING FOR THIS IN YOUR PLANS.

ADHERE TO ALL LOCAL BUILDING CODES AND ORDINANCES.

USE THE WORKSHEET THAT FOLLOWS TO HELP CALCULATE THE TOTAL EQUIVILENT FEET OF YOUR DUCT RUN.

TOTAL EQUIVILENT FEET SHOULD BE LESS THAN 100’.

ESTIMATING TOTAL EQUIVALENT FEET IN A DUCT

CAUSING AIR TO CHANGE DIRECTION CAUSES TURBULENCE AND RESTRICTS FLOW IN A SYSTEM.
IF USING FLEXIBLE METAL DUCT – INCREASE ALL MULTIPLIERS BY 50% (12 BECOMES 18 – ETC.)

THIS EASY TO USE WORKSHEET IS FOR 600 CFM OR LESS.
UNDER “QTY USED” ENTER HOW OF EACH SECTION YOU WILL BE USING.
IN THE FIRST TWO ROWS – ENTER HOW MANY FEET OF EACH TYPE OF STRAIGHT DUCT YOU WILL BE USING (I.E. FOR 20 FT ENTER 20, FOR 30FT ENTER 30).
ENTER THE NUMBER OF EACH TYPE OF TURN YOU ARE USING AND THE TYPE OF END CAP.
MULTIPLY ACROSS EACH ROW THE “MULTIPLIER” x “QTY USED” TO GET THE EQUIVALENT FEET FOR THOSE COMPONENTS.
ADD UP ALL THE VALUES IN THE “EQUIVALENT FEET” COLUMN.

DUCT PIECE| DESCRIPTION| MULTIPLIER| QTY USED| EQUIVALENT FEET
---|---|---|---|---
| 1’ of 6” Round Duct| 1| |
| 1’ of 3 1/4“ x 10” Rect. Duct| 1| |
| 6” 90 Degree Elbow| 12| |
| 6” 45 Degree Elbow| 7| |
| 3 1/4” x 10” 90 Degree| 14| |
| 3 1/4” x 10” 45 Degree| 8| |
| 3 1/4” x 10” Side 90 Degree| 33| |
| 3 1/4” x 10” x 6” Round| 2| |
| 3 1/4” x 10” x 6” 90 Degree| 4| |
| 6” Round Wall Cap w Damper| 24| |
| 3 1/4” x 10” Wall Cap w Damper| 24| |
| 6” Round Roof Cap| 33| |
TOTAL EQUIVALENT FEET SHOULD BE LESS THAN 100|

HIGHS AND LOWS

All range hoods have a recommended range of installation height over the cooking surface.

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

THE CUT OUT

To install the hood into a custom canopy or cabinet, refer to the cutout dimensions above for your particular model. Gap around the unit should be minimized (~ 1/16”) to ensure a snug fit.

INSTALLATION

This type of appliance must be fitted inside a cabinet or inside another type of support structure. Before proceeding with range hood installation, remove grille D by pressingthe two side buttons A , as shown in figure 1.
Fix the appliance in place using 8 screws (not supplied) which are suited to the type of cabinet. To install the range hood correctly, first fit the 4 screws A and then the 4 screws B, in accordance with the diagram in figure 2. After fixing the range hood tothe lower part of the cabinet, place grille D back in the correct position. During this procedure, make sure that grille D is fastened properly.

IMPORTANT – The range hood must be secured to wall studs or use drywall anchors capable of supporting 75 lbs.

Route the power cord to the junction box inside the hood.
Using listed conduit fittings and connectors, connect the power supply to the box and each line to the appropriate wire following this color convention:
BLACK = HOT LEG
WHITE = NEUTRAL
GREEN/YELLOW = GROUND
Polarity must be observed.
Unit must be properly grounded.
Use a double throw disconnect switch.
Replace the box cover
Replace the Anti-grease Baffles.

All wiring must be in compliance with national electrical code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 and all local codes and regulations.

MAINTENANCE

Regular cleaning and maintenance is the key to long life and peak performance of any equipment.

ANTI-GREASE BAFFLE FILTERS: Your XO hood is equipped with stainless steel pro-style baffle filters designed to capture grease from cooking. The baffles are easily removed for cleaning either by soaking in a warm, mild dish detergent solution, rinsing thoroughly and drying – or – by washing in your dishwasher.
TO REMOVE THE BAFFLES:

Pull down on the release latch (shown left)
Lower the front edge of the baffle
Pull forward and remove
To replace, insert the rear of the baffle, holding the latch open, swing the the front up into place and release the latch.
The importance of this simple process is essential for two reasons. First to help keep your kitchen clean and healthy, but it is also critical to minimize the risk of fire.

Baffle filters should be cleaned at least once every 2 months, more frequently depending on the type of cooking performed and the build up of grease.

CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL:
Do not use corrosive detergents, abrasive detergents or oven cleaners.
Do not use any product containing chlorine bleach or any product containing chloride.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive scrubbing pads which will scratch and damage surface.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Clean periodically with warm soapy water and clean cotton cloth or micro fiber cloth. Always rub in the direction of the stainless steel grain. To remove heavier grease build up use a liquid degreaser detergent. After cleaning use a non abrasive stainless steel polish/cleaners, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always rub lightly, with a clean cotton cloth or a micro fiber cloth and buff in the direction of the stainless steel grain.

Any painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and detergent only.

FOR UNITS USED IN RECIRCULATION MODE ONLY:
This refers to hoods which are not ducted outside but rely instead on carbon filter elements to help purify the air before it is exhausted back into the room.

The carbon element filters gradually lose efficiency and cannot be cleaned or regenerated.
These must be replaced at least 4 times a year, more frequently if needed based on the amount of use and style of cooking.

CHANGING THE CARBON FILTERS:
Changing the filters is easy.

To Reduce the Risk of Fire and Shock use only conversion Kit Model XORFND (ACK00059) Filters
The XORFND filters are sold in pairs.
To replace the filters, unlatch and remove the Stainless Steel Anti-Grease filters.
This will expose the blower.
One Carbon Filter attaches to each side of the blower.
Remove the old filter by rotating one quarter turn counter-clockwise and pull straight away from the blower.
To install the new filter simply align, push into place and rotate one quarter turn clockwise to lock.

LED LIGHT REPLACEMENT
To replace the bulbs, rotate the lamp anticlockwise as shown in Figure. Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type.

EASY TO OPERATE

Your XO range hood is controlled by these electronic push buttons which illuminate when activated
BUTTON : LIGHT
BUTTON 0: OFF
BUTTON 1: SPEED I
BUTTON 2: SPEED II
BUTTON 3: SPEED III
BUTTON T: AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER – 15 minutes (*)

The appliance has the Power Boost speed function: press BUTTON 3 for two seconds and it will be activated for 10 minutes after which it will return to the previously set speed. When the function is active the LED To interrupt it before the 10 minutes have expired press BUTTON 3 again.
By pressing BUTTON T for two seconds (with the hood switched off) the “ clean air ” func- tion is activated. This function switches the appliance on for ten minutes every hour at the first speed. As soon as this function is activated the motor starts up at the first speed for ten minutes. During this time BUTTON T and BUTTON 1 must flash at the same After ten minutes the motor switches off and the LED of BUTTON T remains switched on with a fixed light until the motor starts up again at the first speed after fifty minutes and BUTTON T and BUTTON 1 start to flash again for ten minutes and so on.
By pressing any key for the exclusion of the hood light the hood will return immediately to its normal functioning (e.g. if BUTTON 2 is pressed the “ clean air ” function is deactivated and the motor moves to the 2nd speed straight away. By pressing the BUTTON 0 the function is deactivated).
*() The “automatic stop timer”** delays stopping of the hood, which will continue functioning for 15 minutes at the operating speed set at the time this function is activated.
Active carbon/grease filter saturation: – When button flashes at a frequency of 2 seconds , the grease filters must be
– Wtthoenn button flashes at a frequency of 5 seconds , the carbon filters must be replaced.
After the clean filter has been replaced, the electronic memory must be reset by pressing button for approximately 5 seconds , until the light on the button stops flashing

MAKE UP AIR CONVERSION

Code Compliance Control

Some local codes limit the maximum exhaust airflow of range hoods to 400 CFM before a Make Up Air System is required.

The XOI21SC and XOI27SC models are supplied with 600 CFM capacity.
The CCC system allows you to limit the hood from 600 CFM to 395 CFM.

To set up for 395 CFM Operation – follow the procedure below:

After the hood has been powered up initially, disconnect the power supply by shutting off the circuit breaker.
VERY IMPORTANT, after turning power back on to the unit, you must press and hold both the and “0” buttons simultaneously within 5 seconds of re-powering the unit.

NOTE: If you do not press the buttons within the first 5 seconds after turning power back on to the hood – the CCC function will not engage and you must repeat from Step 1.
The control blinks 3 times
The hood is now configured at 395 CFM – the POWER BOOST function is also disabled.
Affix the sticker supplied to indicate the unit has been reconfigured to a maximum air flow of 395 CFM.
Once reconfigured for 395 CFM, the unit cannot be reset to 600 CFM.
