PLANNING DUCTWORK INSTALLATION
Begin planning ductwork by deciding where the duct will run between
the range hood and the outside. For best performance, use the shortest
possible duct run and a minimum number of elbows. There are several
choices shown - FIGS. 1A - 1F.
If needed, a 3¼” x 10” rectangular ducting range hood can be converted to
a round duct by means of a transition.
FIG. 1A. Ducting directly through the wall (for range hoods mounted on an
exterior wall). Shown are two ways to duct through an outside wall. If a wall
cap is used directly off the back of the hood, special care must be taken to
make sure that the damper in the damper/duct connector on the hood and
damper in the wall cap do not interfere with each other when the hood is
operating. This could result in either inadequate air delivery or back drafts.
If this condition does exist, remove the hood damper flap. Sometimes when
using a wall cap it is easier to duct vertically and then use an elbow as
shown in FIG. 1B.
FIG. 1C. Ducting straight up through the roof using 3¼” x 10” rectangular
duct. (For single story installations.)
FIG. 1D. Ducting between the ceiling joists (for multi-story installations) or
through the soffit space above the cabinets (where the soffit connects to
an outside wall).
FIG. 1E. Straight up through the roof using 3¼” x 10” to 6” round duct
transition and 6” round duct (for single-story installations).
FIG. 1F. Straight up through the roof using 7” round duct (for single-story
installations, 7” round adapter plate not included, part number SR680508).

PREPARING THE RANGE HOOD
1. Unpack hood and check contents. You should have:
1 - Aluminum filter
1 - 3¼” x 10” Damper/duct connector
(mounted inside of hood for shipping only) (save the screws)
2. Remove wiring box cover. Under cover find the parts bag containing
loose hardware.
For non-ducted installation only
3. For non-ducted installation, remove grille cover from front (or inside) of
hood. (FIG. 3)
NOTE
The grille on front of hood must be open and visible for hood
to function in non-ducted mode.
4. Remove either top or rear electrical knockout depending upon whether
wiring will enter hood from wall or cabinet. (FIG. 4)

5. Remove appropriate duct knockout on hood by inserting screwdriver
into edge of knockout and breaking tabs holding knockout to hood.
You may have to tap screwdriver with hammer to break tabs. Peel
knockout back with pliers. (FIG. 5)
6. Fit damper/duct connector over opening and secure in place with
black sheet metal screws. (FIG. 6)
Hinge pins and damper/duct connector should be toward top of hood
for ducting through wall or toward back of hood for ducting through
cabinet above hood. Seal joint between damper/duct connector and
hood with duct tape.
7. 7” round ducted discharge only: Purchase separately the 7” round
duct plate (part no. SR680508). For best performance, line up the 7”
round duct plate with the 7” round opening on hood. Mount duct plate
to hood with 2 screws included with duct plate and 2 screws from
3¼” x 10” damper (1 screw per side). Install a 7” round damper
(purchase separately). Damper flap must open freely in direction of air
flow (away from range hood).
PREPARING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
NOTE
MOUNT HOOD SO THAT BOTTOM OF HOOD IS 18”-24” ABOVE
COOKING SURFACE. TOP FRONT EDGE OF HOOD SHOULD BE
FLUSH WITH FRONT OF CABINET FRAME.
IF DISTANCE BETWEEN WALL AND FRONT OF CABINET FRAME
IS MORE THAN 12” THERE WILL BE A SPACE BETWEEN BACK OF
HOOD AND WALL. THIS IS NORMAL.
OMIT STEP 8 if range hood will be installed under cabinets with flush
bottom.
8. (For installation on recessed bottom cabinets only.) Attach a wood filler
strip at each side of recessed area under cabinet. (Use two 1” x 2” strips
cut to length.) If recess is more than 1” use thicker strips. Attach strips
with 1¼” screws about 3” from each end. See FIG. 7.
9. Measure and mark the following (FIGS. 7 & 8):
a) Electrical line opening
b) Duct opening
10. Drill four pilot holes in corners of marked duct opening as shown and cut
opening with saber saw or keyhole saw.
11. Use 1¼” drill bit to drill opening for electrical connection in wall or
cabinet.
12. Hold hood up against cabinet bottom and trace keyhole slots onto
cabinet bottom or filler strips.
13. Screw the four supplied 7/8” wood screws for mounting the hood into the
exact center of the narrow end of the keyhole slots marked underneath
the cabinet. Allow 3/8” of the screws to project, so the hood can be fitted
into place.

INSTALLING THE DUCTWORK
NOTE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL FOLLOW THE PLANS MADE ON PAGE 3.
START AT THE EXTERIOR AND RUN THE DUCT BACK TO THE RANGE HOOD.
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE OF YOUR RANGE HOOD, USE THE SHORTEST
POSSIBLE DUCT RUN AND A MINIMUM NUMBER OF ELBOWS.
NEVER VENT A RANGE HOOD INTO AN ATTIC SPACE BECAUSE A BUILDUP OF
GREASE WILL BECOME A FIRE HAZARD.
USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK (DO NOT USE PLASTIC DUCT). ASSEMBLE
SECURELY SO THAT IN CASE OF A GREASE FIRE ON THE RANGE, THE FIRE
WILL BE CONTAINED INSIDE METAL DUCT WORK.
IT IS A GOOD PRACTICE TO TAPE WITH METAL DUCT TAPE ALL DUCT
CONNECTIONS, MAKING THEM BOTH SECURE AND AIR TIGHT.
14. Follow appropriate directions below for type of ductwork you are
installing:
WALL CAP (FIG. 9)
Use a saber saw to cut a hole slightly larger than duct so duct will line up
easily with hood. Install casing strips on outside walls finished in siding.
Assemble the duct work and tape all joints. Run duct work back to hood.
Fasten wall cap to last section of duct and nail or screw cap to wall.
Seal all around flange on wall cap with caulking compound for exterior
use. Make sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the duct will
overlap the damper/duct connector by 3/4” when the hood is installed.
ROOF CAP
Cut hole in roof slightly larger than duct so duct will line up easily with
hood. Trim shingles around hole so that they will fit snugly around hood
of cap when cap is installed. Assemble the ductwork and tape all joints.
Run the ductwork down to hood. Trim duct parallel to roof pitch, leaving
3/4” of duct projecting above roof. Seal all around duct with roof cement.
Install roof cap, inserting back edge of cap under shingles. Seal around
cap with roof cement and seal all nail heads and shingles which were
cut or lifted.
Make sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the duct will overlap
the damper/duct connector by 3/4” when the hood is put into place.
INSTALLING THE RANGE HOOD
15. Bring electrical cable through access hole drilled in wall or bottom of
cabinet. Provide 6” wire leads and install proper connector for type of
cable being used. Remove lock nut from connector and let prepared
cable project through cabinet or wall opening so it is ready for installation
into range hood. (FIG. 10)
16. Position hood in place so that:
a) Electrical line is routed through appropriate knockout opening. This
step will have to be accomplished while positioning hood. (FIG. 11)
b) Large part of keyhole mounting slots on hood fit onto hood mounting
screws projecting from bottom of cabinet. (FIG. 11)
c) Damper/duct connector slides into duct work in wall or cabinet.
17. Adjust hood so the front of hood is flush with cabinet front.
18. Tighten the four hood mounting screws securely.
19. Install locknut on electrical connector and tighten securely.
20. Make electrical connection using wire nuts to connect WHITE wire
to WHITE, BLACK wire to BLACK, and GREEN or bare wire to GREEN
ground screw provided. (FIG. 12)
21. Replace wiring box cover and screw, taking care not to pinch wires.
NOTE
For non-ducted installations only:
Discard the aluminum filter and replace with a non-ducted filter
(purchase separately, model 41F). Make sure that blue side of
non-ducted filter is next to blade.

USE AND CARE
SWITCHES
The fan and light are each controlled by a rocker switch. The light switch
has two positions, “ON” and “OFF”. The fan switch has three positions “HIGH”, “LOW” and “OFF” (“OFF” is the middle position).
CLEANING
Keep your range hood clean using a mild detergent suitable for painted
surfaces.
The aluminum filter should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm
dishwashing detergent solution.
Clean all-metal filter using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the
filter may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water
conditions - but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is
not covered by the warranty. To minimize or prevent discoloration, hand
wash filter using a mild detergent.
FILTER REMOVAL
Remove filter by turning filter clip to the side and lifting filter out. In ducted
version, turn filter retaining clip to one side and place aluminum filter over
embossed retaining tabs on back of fan housing. Turn filter clip so that the
low end of clip holds single filter firmly in place. (FIG. 13)
In non-ducted version, place non-ducted filter (non-ducted filter to be
purchase separately, model 41F) over tabs on back of fan housing. Turn
filter retaining clip so that high end holds filter firmly in place. Make sure
blue side of non-ducted filter is next to fan blade.
NOTE: Make sure that arrows on filter retaining clip point toward back and
front of hood.
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
Light bulb (not supplied with hood) should be A19 type, E26 base,
75 watts maximum. The lens covering bulb is removed by pressing the
two extending tabs together until they release from the retaining slots.
(FIG. 14)
FAN ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
Be sure power is disconnected. Remove filter. Remove both screws holding
the motor bracket to the range hood and unplug the fan assembly. Be
careful not to allow fan assembly to drop when the screws are removed.
