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 w/ certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape. Duct Run Calculation:

e.g. — 1 roof cap, 2×90 elbows, 1×45 elbow
= 30′ + 30′ + 9’=69′ used,
31′ available for straight duct runs

DUCT SIZE
A minimum of 6″ round duct must be used to maintain maximum airflow 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.

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 turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as possible.

MAINTANENCE & CLEANING

Surface Maintanence:

Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. 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 3M or 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.
