WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
2. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power o
at service panel and lock service panel to prevent power
from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device to the service panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualied persons in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including re-rated construction.
4. Sucient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting
of gases through the ue of fuel burning equipment to
prevent back draing. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards as published
by the local code authorities.
5. When cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings, be careful
not to damage existing electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
6. To reduce the risk of re, electric shock and to properly
exhaust air, ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.
Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings,
attics, crawl spaces, or garages. Do not connect this fan
with any solid-state speed control device.
7. Always keep the duct clear to maintain proper airow for
venting.
8. e bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 28”
and at a suggested maximum of 36” above cooktop for
best capture of cooking impurities. For a gas range, the
bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 30” above
cooktop.

1. Never leave the range unattended at high settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
aming food.
3. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for
the size of the surface element.
4. Keep fan, lters and grease laden surfaces clean. Clean
ventilating fans frequently. Do not allow grease to
accumulate on fan or lter.
5. Use HIGH setting on hood only when necessary.
6. Don’t leave hood unattended when cooking.
7. To reduce the risk of re, use only metal ductwork.
8. is unit must be grounded.
9. Not for outdoor use.
WARNING
• Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless
specically recommended in this book. All other service
should be performed by a qualied technician.
• e hood motor has a thermal overload that will
automatically shut o the motor if it becomes overheated.
e motor will restart. If the motor continually shuts o
and restarts, contact the Cyclone service department.

Damage Inspection 5
DAMAGE INSPECTION
• Please fully inspect unit for damage before installation.
• If the unit is damaged in shipment, return the unit to the store in which it was bought for repair or replacement.
• If the unit is damaged by the customer, repair or replacement is the responsibility of the customer.
• If the unit is damaged by the installer (if other than the customer), repair of replacement must be made by arrangement between
customer and installer.
• Once installed, all damages will be assumed the responsibility of the installer.
• To reduce the risk of re, use only metal ductwork.
• To reduce risk of re and to properly exhaust air, be sure
to duct air outside – do not vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
CAUTION
• Best to use rigid type metal ducts. Flexible ducts can
restrict airow by more than 50%.
• Reduce the number of transitions and turns as much as
possible. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead
of a pancake reducer. If turns and transitions are required,
install them as far away from the opening as possible and
as far apart between two as possible.
WARNING
• 6” round ductwork must be used to maintain maximum
air ow eciency with motors of 450 CFM or greater. If
the use of any size ducting is less than 6”, the warranty is
automatically voided.
• e venting duct must go horizontally or vertically up
to the outside wall or the roof. If it is turned downward
anywhere in the venting system, the warranty is automatica lly
voided.

MOUNTING HEIGHTS AND CLEARANCE
Preparation for Vent and Exhaust Duct Connection
Ducting Connection
WARNING
• e hood should be installed at 28” minimum above the
cooking surface. If pairing your range hood with a gas
stove minimum mounting height must be 30” above the
cooking surface.
Minimum mount height between range top to hood bottom should
be no less than 28” for electric or ceramic stoves, and no less than 30”
for gas stoves. e maximum mount height should be no more than
36”. e hood must be installed at the correct mounting height. Hoods
mounted too low could result in heat damage. Hoods mounted too
high, on the other hand, will be less eective and performance may
suer.
Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before
you select your hood.
Hood installation height above cook top is the user’s preference.
e lower the hood is above the cook top the more ecient it will
be in drawing out cooking odors, grease and smoke.

1. To connect a rectangular vent to a round exhaust duct (or vice
versa), use a connecting duct and adapter.
2. e round vent of a Cyclone Range Hood is 6” diameter. If
the round exhaust duct is not 6” diameter, a connecting duct
is necessary to accommodate the dierent size. If the exhaust
duct is less than 6” diameter, the eciency of your Cyclone
Range Hood will be reduced and the warranty may be voided.
3. An exhaust duct needs to be cut if there is not an existing duct
in your home. Please consult/hire a professional to complete
the work properly. For top venting, a rectangular or a 6”
round hole needs to be cut through the ceiling or the back
wall and the bottom of the cabinet to t the duct connection.
When there is no access to the top of the hood, carefully pull down
the metal duct through the custom hood base hole. Slide this duct
over the adapter/damper. Make sure the adapter/damper assembly
enters the ducting. Seal the connection with aluminum tape.
