About Your New Filters
Stainless Steel Permanent Filters do not need linings or mesh inside
of the filters and are completely constructed out of stainless steel.
The stainless steel construction allows them to be used again and
again after being cleaned or going through the dishwasher.
How do Permanent Filters work?
They function by forcing the grease filled air to quickly and
continuously change direction as it passes through the filter.
The grease is unable to change direction as fast as the air
carrying them, they end up getting caught on the metal
blades and then trapped into the filter tray.
These filters are both efficient and require less maintenance.
Additional Aluminum or Charcoal Filters can be purchased from:

follow all pre-installation procedures and safety regulations.
The vertical distance from the cooking surface to the bottom of the range hood
•
should be at least 24 in. to 36 in. for best performance.
Determine if your installation will be top venting or back venting, and ensure
•
that the openings in the cabinet or wall are in the appropriate locations and
appropriate size.
If this is a new installation, choose the venting method that suits your needs. Cut

* Due to the weight of the unit, we recommend mounting the Range Hood to the bottom of
the cabinet above first and then secure it to wall to avoid a gap. Before starting, locate the
included template to line up at your install location.
1.) Find the key holes at the back and top of the Range Hood. Mark their locations at the installation location using the included templates (Wall / Bottom of Cabinet) with a pencil or
marker.
2.) Drill (4) 5/16" (8mm) holes into wall at each of the marked locations. Insert included drywall
anchors into wall holes. Firmly tap them into place. Insert screws into anchors and leave 1/4"
out for Range Hood to hang on.
3.) Drill an electrical access hole into cabinet above as shown on template.
4.) Locate the top key holes and line up Range Hood with protruding wall screws while also
lining up to holes above and insert wood screws through top holes and fasten the Range
Hood to the bottom of the cabinet by tightening screws with a drill or screwdriver. (this step
requires you to Lift and Hang at the same time / requires two people)
5.) Tighten up screws to secure the Range Hood to the wall once it is fastened to the cabinet.
6.) Run attached ducting through cabinet as required and electrical wires through electrical
