Tools Needed

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 (US Standard: 36″).
3. Distance between the countertop/stove to the range hood (recommend’ 28″ to 31″). 4. Height of hood and duct cover.

For the most efficient & quiet operation:

It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof through 6″ (15.2 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 duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.

Height & Clearance

Maximum ceiling clearance 110″ at 31″ hood mounting height above countertop/stove (may vary with different model).
Chimney extensions available for higher ceilings.

Important

A minimum of 6″ round (standard for this range hood) 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 e to 7 or Ir. 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 2, as possible.

Minimum mount height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 24%

Maximum mount height should be no higher than 31″

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.

If available, also refer to manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting height above range.

Minimum Duct size:

Round-6″ minimum

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:

Recommended maximum run
6″ duct| I                    50 ff
Vent piece deduction
Each 90 elbow used| 9 ff
Each 45 elbow used| 5 ff
Each 6″ to 3-1/4 x 10″ transition used| 7 ft
Side wall cap with damper| 0 ft
Roof cap| 0 ff

DUCT RUN CALCULATION EXAMPLE:
One roof cap, two 90° elbow, and one 45° elbow used: Oft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 23ff used.

Deduct 23ff from 50ft, 27ff maximum available for straight duct run.

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.

If the range hood or halogen light does not work after installation

• Check if the range hood has been plugged in, make sure that all power has been turned back ON, fused not blown and all electrical wiring are properly connected.
• Swap out light assembly to working ones to determine whether it is caused by defective bulbs. See Replacing the light bulbs on Page 31-33.

The range hood vibrates when the blower is on

• The range hood might not have been secured properly on to the ceiling or wall. Check with your installer

The blower or fan seems weak

• Check that the duct sized used is at least 6″ or 3-1/4 x 10″. Range hood WILL NOT function efficiently with insufficient duct size. For example: 8″ duct over 6″ hole and loosely secured.
• Check if duct is clogged or if damper unit (half-circular flapper) is not installed correctly or opening properly. A tight mesh on a side wall cap unit might also cause restriction to the air flow.

The lights work but the blower is not spinning at all, is stuck or is raffling

The blower might be jammed or scraping the bottom due to shipping damage. Please contact us immediately.

The hood is not venting out properly

• Make sure the distance between the stove top and the bottom of the hood is within” 28″ and 31″ in distance. Due to different ceiling height configurations, recommended height may not be applicable.
• Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct work. Check if all joints are properly connected, sealed, and taped.
• Make sure the power is on high speed for heavy cooking.

Purpose of the slots/holes/openings near the top of the upper chimney:

• These slots/holes/openings are used to exhaust cleaned air with optional re-circulating kit. If you did not install one, you do not need them.
