LOCATION PREPARATION
The installation in this manual is intended for qualified installers, service
technicians or persons with 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.
Overly accumulated 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 insure proper connection and all joints
should be properly taped.
Note 1: On stainless steel hoods, carefully remove the plastic protective
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 mount height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 25″
- Maximum mount height should be no higher than 30″
- 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.
- If available, also refer range manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting height above range.
- Maximum ceiling clearance 106.5″ at 27.5″ hood mounting height from stove (different models may varies)
- For higher ceiling, extension of the chimney and the decorative cover is available to purchase, if require.
Ducting (not provided
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 ductwork only.
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints wl
certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
Duct Run Calculation
DUCT SIZE
- Aminimum of 6″ round duct must be used to maintain
- maximum airfilow efficiency.
- Flexible ducts are provided for convenience, always use rigid type metal ducts if available to maximizing airflow.
- Also use calculation (on left) to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions and caps.
- ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If required 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 tuns or transitions are required: Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as possible.
MOUNTING THE RANGE HOOD

OPERATION
Surface Maintenance:
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton clath. 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 3Mor ZEP, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always
scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain
Stainless Steel Baffle Filters:
The Filters fitted by the factory are intended to filter out residue and
grease from cooking. It need not be replaced on a regular basis but are
required to be kept clean.
Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use.
Remove and clean by hand in a basin 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 filters and re-install before using hood.\
Hood Cleaning
The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and filters may cause increased
inflammability. Keep unit clean and free of grease and residue build-up at all
times to prevent possible fires Filters must be cleaned periodically and 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. Disassembly is recommended to 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 clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.
- *For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder with a little amount of water and a soft cloth.
- For stubborn stain, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with cleanser and water Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or “grain” of the stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure that may mar the surface.
- Do not allow deposits to remain 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.
