STAINLESS STEEL BAFFLE FILTERS
About Your New Filters
Stainless Steel Baffle Filters do not need linings or mesh inside of the
filters and are completely constructed out of stainless steel. The stainless
steel construction allows them to be used again after being cleaned or going
through the dishwasher.
How do Baffle Filters Work?
They function by forcing the grease filled air to quickly and continuously
change direction as it passes through the filter. The grease is unable to
change direction as fast as the air carrying them, they end up getting caught
on the metal blades and then trapped into the filter tray.These filters are
both efficient and require less maintenance.
- See pages 19-20 for cleaning and installation information.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, READ THE FOLLOWING:
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, please contact the manufacturer.
-
Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power off and lock the service panel. This will prevent the powerfrom accidentally turning on. If the service panel does not lock, secure a warning label, such as a tag, to the service panel.
-
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified professional(s) in accordance with all applicable codes, standards, and fire-rated constructions.
-
Do not operate any fans with a damaged cord or plug. Discard the fan or return to an authorized service facility for further examination and/or repair.
-
To prevent back draft, sufficient air is needed for . proper combustion. Gas from fuel burning equipment needs to exhaust through the flue (chimney). Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
When cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings; be aware of electrical wires, piping, and other utilities. Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors. -
CAUTION: For general ventilation use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
-
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside – DO NOT vent exhaust air into attics, crawl spaces, garages, or within walls and ceilings.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, READ THE FOLLOWING:
- Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-over can cause smoke and grease to spill over that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
- Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food.
- Clean ventilation fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
- Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY. IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, READ THE FOLLOWING:
-
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
-
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – you may be burned.
-
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
-
Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
- The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
- The fire department is being called.
- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
-

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Please observe all governing codes and ordinances. It is recommended that a qualified technician install the range hood. It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model / product rating label. Range hood’s location should be away from strong draft areas such as; windows, doors and strong heating vents. Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance.
INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
-
Range hoods must be ventilated to the outdoors, except for non-vented (recirculating) installations.
Part CFK1-TM is required (Sold Separately). -
Do not ventilate the range hood into an attic or other enclosed areas.
-
Do not use 4″ (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
-
The length of the range hood and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide maximum performance.
For the most efficient and quiet operation
- Use no more than three 90° elbows.
- Make sure there is a minimum of 24″ (61 cm) of straight duct between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
- Do not install two elbows together.
- Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
- The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range hood.
- Use caulking to seal exterior walls or roof openings around the cap.
- The size of the vents should be uniform.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold
air flow. A thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of
outside temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper should be on the
cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as possible
to where the vent system enters the heated portion of the house.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems, when using
ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified
CFM varies from state to state. Consult your HVAC professional for specific
requirements in your area.
Venting Method
This range hood is factory set for through the roof or wall.
A 6″ (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation. The hood exhaust
opening is 6″ (15.2 cm) round.
To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
If exhaust ducting with a diameter of less than 5.91” (150 mm) or if flat
ducting is used, the noise level of the range hood will increase and
extraction will be less efficient.
Rear Venting
A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.
For Ductless (Recirculating) Installations
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the outside, the
hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) version, fitting a carbon
filter at the motor.
Fumes and vapors are then recycled through the top grille. DO NOT block the
chimney vent holes. See Page 16 for ductless conversion instructions.

B. 6″ (15.2 cm) round vent| A. Roof cap
B. 6″ (15.2 cm) round vent
---|---
Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet
(meters) for all vent pieces used in the system.
Vent Piece | 6″ (15.2cm) Round |
---|---|
45° elbow | 2.5 ft |
90° elbow | 5.0 ft |
Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft
Example vent system
The following example falls within the maximum recommended vent length of 35
ft
1 – 90° elbow = 5.0 ft
1 – wall cap = 0.0 ft
6 ft straight tube = 6.0 ft
Length of system = 11.0 ft
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M911 (latest edition), all local codes, and ordinances. If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

RANGE HOOD INSTALLATION
PREPARE LOCATION
- Lay out the vent duct system before installing the range hood to determine the best routing for the vent duct.
- It is recommended that the vent system be installed before the range hood is installed.
- Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling for exhaust vent.
- Range hood is to be installed 24″ (61.0 cm) min. for electric cooking surfaces, 27″ (68.6 cm) min. for gas cooking surfaces, to a suggested maximum of 36″ (91.4 cm) above the cooking surface.
- Remove film from metal surfaces as needed prior to assembly.
- Check your ceiling height and the range hood height maximum before you install your hood.
- Disconnect power.
- Determine which venting method to use: roof or non-vented.
Range Hood Mounting Screws Installation
-
Determine and mark the centerline on the ceiling where the range hood will be installed, considering the requirements for ceiling support structures. See the “Location Requirements” section. Make sure the range hood is centered over the cooking surface.
-
Use a pencil to mark the mounting screws, wire access and duct hole locations on the ceiling.
