- Calculate the following figures before installation:
- Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
- Distance between the floor to the countertop/stove.
- Distance between the countertop/stove to the range hood (recommend* 28” to 31”).
- Height of hood and exhaust duct cover.
FOR THE MOST EFFICIENT OPERATION:
- A distance between 28” to 31” is recommended* between the stove top and the bottom of the range hood.
- 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 the vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
- The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT use damper (if supplied) on top of the range hood.
- Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
- Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
*Due to different ceiling height configurations, recommended height may not be applicable.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
Ensure there is availability of an electrical power socket to power the
range hood before fixing to the wall.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Ensure that the electrical
installation is adequate and in accordance with the National Electrical Codes,

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARE LOCATION:
- It is recommended for the vent system to be installed before hood is installed.
- Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or walls for the exhaust vent.
- Disconnect the power.
- A minimum of 6” round (standard for this range hood) or 3-1/4 x 10” rectangular duct (purchased separately) 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.
- Place a thick, protective covering over the countertop, cook top or range to protect from damage or dirt.
- Remove any hazardous objects around the area when installing.
IMPORTANT:
This installation is for mounting the product to a wall. Ensure your wall has
the proper sup-port to hold the range hood weight (RHW-3052 30in – 37.5 lbs /
17 kg, and RHW-3652 36in – 41.9 lbs / 19 kg. These instructions are general
guidelines; please consult your installation specialist regarding the best
type of mounting hardware and support system based on your wall construction.
All wall-mounted range hoods, if possible, should be installed and supported
by studs behind the wall (hardware not included). In the event studs are not
in alignment with the wall mount mounting plate holes, a wooden cross support
system will need to be retrofitted to your existing studs. All homes are
different, and installations will vary.
WARNING:
Excessive Weight. At least 2 people are required to move and install this
range hood. Spinal or other bodily injuries may occur if this warning is not
observed.
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.
ADVANCED PREPARATION:

- The range hood vibrates when the blower is on:
- The range hood might not have been secured properly onto the ceiling.
- The blowers seems weak:
- Check that the duct size used is at least 6” (15.2cm). Range hood WILL NOT function efficiently with insufficient duct size.
- Check if duct is clogged or if damper unit is not 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 rattling.
- The blower might be jammed or scraping the bottom due to shipping damage.
- The hood is not venting out properly:
- Make sure the distance between the cook top and the bottom of the hood is within 28” (71 cm) and 31” (78.7 cm) range.
- Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct work. Check if all joints are properly connected, sealed, and taped.
