INSTALLATION PREPARATIONS

DUCT VENTING AND ACCESSORIES:

•  For new installation or your old range hood doesn’t have an exhaust duct, prepare to cut the openings through the bottom of the cabinet, wall, top of the cabinet, or ceiling, depending on the mounting type. A 6″ round semi-rigid aluminum duct is included.
• If the existing exhaust duct size is not 6″ in diameter, please purchase a converter/reducer/adapter/elbow.
•  If the included duct is not long enough, please purchase additional ducts to extend and reach to the existing duct connection.

POSSIBLE TOOLS NEEDED:

•  Jig Saw or Reciprocating Saw;
•  Screwdrivers or Power Drill;
•  Level;
•  Measuring Tape;
•  Knife:
•  Duct / Foil Tape;
•  Screws;
•  Marker / Pencil.

PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED FOR THE INSTALLATION.

•  This range hood requires a venting system leading to outdoors.
•  The venting system must not end in an enclosed area indoors.
•  Use metal vent only. A rigid metal vent is recommended. The semi-rigid aluminum vent is also acceptable for easy connection. The plastic vent is not recommended.
•  Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow.

For the most efficient and quiet operation:

• The recommended mounting height is between a minimum of 24″ and a maximum of 30″ above the cooking surface to the bottom of the hood.
•  It is recommended to have the venting system go vertically from the range hood to the roof using a 6″ or bigger round metal/aluminum vent duct. The vent duct is not included and must be purchased separately.
•  Regardless of the length of the vent duct, its size should be uniform.
•  Use no more than three 90° elbows.
•  Make sure there is a minimum of 24″ of straight vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
•  Do not install 2 elbows together.
•  The length of the venting system and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
•  Use a silver tap or duct tap to seal all joints in the venting system.
•  Use caulking silicone to seal the exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

Venting System Setup:

•  This range hood is 6″ top venting through the roof or wall.
•  Always use 6″ round rigid or semi-rigid type metal/aluminum ducts to maximize airflow.
•  Observe and determine the location for the venting route from the hood to the outdoors.
•  A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform more efficiently.
•  Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
•  Use caulking to seal the roof or wall opening around the cap.

Measure and estimate the following figures before installation:

•  The distance between the countertop/stove to the bottom of the range hood.
•  The height of the hood and duct.

IMPORTANT!

Use the Duct Run Calculation Chart to calculate the total available duct run when using elbows, transitions, and caps.
Always keep the number of transitions and turns minimum.
If a long duct run is needed, increase the duct size from 6″ to 7″ or 8″.
• If a reducer is needed, use a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer and install it as far away from the range hood as possible. Reducing the duct size will restrict and decrease the speed of the airflow and hence lower the range hood’s performance.
• If transitions or turns are needed, install them as far away from the range hood as possible and keep the distance between the 2 as far apart as possible.
• The minimum mounting height should be no less than 24″ and the maximum mounting height should be no more than 30″.
• Also refer to the owner’s manual of the stovetop for the height clearance requirement and the recommended mounting height above the range.

NOTE: It is important to install the range 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 out of reach and hence reduce its performance and efficiency.
