before you begin
You will need some simple tools.
Take time to plan your work. If you are venting the hood outside – follow the guide lines in this book to minimize the length and turns of your dutwork and maximize performance.
DANGER: If installing above a gas appliance – turn gas off at the source
before installing or servicing this appliance.
CAUTION : For indoor residential kitchen ventilation only.
Do not install or operate in hazardous areas.
CAUTION : Unplug or disconnect from power supply before performing
installation or any form of service to this appliance.
WARNING : This unit requires a properly grounded circuit for safe
operation.
All electrical work must be performed by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all applicable codes
dimensions
typical installation examples
RECIRCULATION EXHAUST MUST BE RETURNED TO THE SPACE
highs and lows
All range hoods have a
recommended range of installation height over the cooking surface.
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 lose its performance and
efficiency.
a few simple rules to plan your ductwork
THIS HOOD IS DESIGNED TO USE A 6” or 7” ROUND DUCT IT MAY BE TRANSITIONED TO A
3-1/4” X 10” RECTANGULAR DUCT
NEVER REDUCE DUCT SIZE. UNDERSIZED DUCTING SEVERELY RESTRICTS AIR FLOW AND
HARMS PERFORMANCE.
(Example: the area of a 6” Duct is more than TWICE that of a 4” Duct)
KEEP DUCT RUNS AS SHORT AND STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE.
AVOID USING FLEXIBLE METAL DUCTING IF RUN IS LONGER THAN 6’.
NEVER USE PLASTIC DUCTING.
USE SMOOTH BORE METAL DUCTING.
MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF FITTINGS (see chart).
WHEN YOU MUST USE FITTINGS, TRY TO SEPARATE THEM WITH SECTIONS OF 3’ OR MORE
OF STRAIGHT DUCT.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S GUIDELINES FOR THE COOKING EQUIPMENT YOU ARE
VENTING.
IF MAKE UP AIR CONTROL DAMPERS ARE REQUIRED, POSITION THE SENSOR IN A STRAIGHT
RUN OF DUCT IDEALLY WITH 3’ OF STRAIGHT DUCT BETWEEN EACH SIDE OF THE SENSOR
AND A DUCT FITTING. REMEMBER TO INCLUDE POWER AND CONTROL WIRING FOR THIS IN
YOUR PLANS.
ADHERE TO ALL LOCAL BUILDING CODES AND ORDINANCES.
USE THE WORKSHEET THAT FOLLOWS TO HELP CALCULATE THE TOTAL EQUIVILENT FEET OF
YOUR DUCT RUN.
TOTAL EQUIVILENT FEET SHOULD BE LESS THAN 100’.
CAUTION : Wear leather work gloves when unboxing, handling or installing this appliance or any sheet metal parts which can have sharp edges.
estimating total equivalent feet in a duct
CAUSING AIR TO CHANGE DIRECTION CAUSES TURBULENCE AND RESTRICTS FLOW IN A
SYSTEM.
IF USING FLEXIBLE METAL DUCT – INCREASE ALL MULTIPLIERS BY 50% (12 BECOMES 18
– ETC.)
THIS EASY TO USE WORKSHEET IS FOR 600 CFM OR LESS.
UNDER “QTY USED” ENTER HOW OF EACH SECTION YOU WILL BE USING.
IN THE FIRST TWO ROWS – ENTER HOW MANY FEET OF EACH TYPE OF STRAIGHT DUCT YOU
WILL BE USING (I.E. FOR 20 FT ENTER 20, FOR 30FT ENTER 30).
ENTER THE NUMBER OF EACH TYPE OF TURN YOU ARE USING AND THE TYPE OF END CAP.
MULTIPLY ACROSS EACH ROW THE “MULTIPLIER” x “QTY USED” TO GET THE EQUIVALENT
FEET FOR THOSE COMPONENTS.
ADD UP ALL THE VALUES IN THE “EQUIVALENT FEET” COLUMN.
DUCT PIECE| DESCRIPTION| MULTIPLIER| QTY USED|

hood installation
CAUTION: TEAM LIFT – To prevent injury and/or damage to the unit use two
or more people to lift, carry or hold the hood in place while it is being
secured.
CAUTION: If venting outside, ensure the ducting is unobstructed, and the
damper is operating freely. Use smooth, rigid metal ducting only.
Determine what type of cabinet you are mounting to:
Step 6. A framed cabinet will require the installation of
wooden spacers to bring the bottom of the cabinet flush with the frame and
allow the mounting screws to fully engage.
The spacers must extend in 3-1/2” from either side. Step 7: Use a hole saw
to bore a 1-1/2” hole for the electrical cord and if venting, cut the holes
for the passage of your ductwork.

electrical connection
Your XOE unit come pre-wired with a 3 prong cord set.
However, if you wish to hardwire the hood instead – follow these steps.
-
Route the power cord to the junction box inside the hood.
-
Using listed conduit fittings and connectors, use the internal wire clamp to secure the wiring entering the hood. Then connect each power supply line to the appropriate wire folloowing this color convention. BLACK = HOT LEG
WHITE = NEUTRAL
GREEN/YELLOW = GROUND Polarity must be observed.
Unit must be properly grounded.
Use a double throw disconnect switch. -
Replace the box cover
-
Replace the Anti-grease filters.
All wiring must be in compliance with national electrical code, ANSI/NFPA
70-1999 and all local codes and regulations.
Step 8. Lift the hood into place, aligning the duct if venting,
exercising care not to pinch electrical wiring. Fasten in place with 6 screws
as shown here.
Center 2 screws optional for added support. If venting check dampers for free
operation and tape seal all duct joints. Step 9. Connect the electrical
power following the steps on the page 18.
Step 10. Replace the interior liner removed in Step 2. Step 11. Replace the stainless steel grease filters removed in
Step 1 and you are all done. When disposing of the packing materials – please recycle.

- Turns the LED light panel on and off.
easy to maintain
Regular cleaning and maintenance is the key to long life and peak performance of any equipment.
- The Stainless filter is used to trap any grease particles suspended in the air, therefore is subject to saturation (the time it takes for the filter to become saturated depends on the way in which the appliance is used). The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. Grease filters are a dishwasher safe. If you are recirculating the exhaust, the carbon filters cannot be washed and must be replaced at least twice a year. – To prevent potential fire hazards, the Stainless Steel grease filters should be washed a minimum of every two months (Dishwasher Safe).
– After a few washes, the filter color may change.
This does not affect performance and it does not require replacement.
– The XO part number for the carbon filters which do which do require replacement is XORFK10.
Failure to maintain the grease filters may present a fire hazard.
CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL:
Do not use corrosive detergents, abrasive detergents or oven cleaners.
Do not use any product containing chlorine bleach or any product containing
chloride.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive scrubbing pads which will scratch and damage
surface.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Clean periodically with warm soapy water and clean
cotton cloth or micro fiber cloth. Always rub in the direction of the
stainless steel grain. To remove heavier grease build up use a liquid
degreaser detergent. After cleaning use a non-abrasive stainless steel
polish/cleaners, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always
rub lightly, with a clean cotton cloth or a micro fiber cloth and buff in the
direction of the stainless steel grain.
Any painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and detergent only.
trouble shooting
HOOD WILL NOT OPERATE:
Check to see if the power supply is connected properly.
Is the power turned on at the breaker / fuse box?
Check wiring between the switch and control board.
