Due to the size and weight of this range hood, two people installation is recommended.•

To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons:

For general ventilating use only. • DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and va­pors.

The combustion air ow needed for safe operation of fuel-burning equipment may be affected by this •
unit’s operation. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such
as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society of
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power OFF at service panel and lock service panel to pre-•

vent power from being switched ON accidentally.
Clean grease laden surfaces frequently. To reduce the risk of re and to disperse air properly, make

•

sure to vent air outside. DO NOT vent exhaust into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics
or garages.

Ducted fans MUST always be vented to the outdoors.•
Use only metal ductwork and this unit MUST be grounded.•
Sufcient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the duct to prevent •
back drafting.

•

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage electrical wiring or other hid-

den utilities.

All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded.•
Old duct work should be cleaned or replaced if necessary to avoid the possibility of a grease re.•

Venting Requirements Height & Clearance

Vent system must terminate to the outside •
(roof or side wall).

DO NOT terminate the vent system in an at-•

tic or other enclosed area.

DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall •

caps.

Use metal/aluminum vent only. Rigid metal/•

aluminum vent is recommended.
DO NOT use plastic vent.

•
Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper •
airow.

Calculate the following gures before instal-•

lation:

Distance from the oor to the ceiling.1.
Distance between the oor to the coun-2.

tertop/stove (recommend* 28” to 31”).
Distance between the countertop/stove 3.

to the range hood.

Height of hood and duct cover.4.

For the most efcient & quiet operation:

A distance of 28” to 31” is recommended* •
between stove top and the bottom of range

hood.

It is recommended that the range hood be •
vented vertically through the roof through 6”
(15.2 cm) or bigger round metal/aluminum
vent work.
The size of the vent should be uniform.•
Use no more than three 90° elbows.•
Make sure there is a minimum of 24” (61 •
cm) of straight vent between the elbows if
more than one elbow is used.
DO NOT install two elbows together.•
The length of vent system and number of •

elbows should be kept to a minimum to pro-

vide efcient performance.
The vent system must have a damper. If •
roof or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT
use damper (if supplied) on top of the range

hood.

Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints •
in the vent system.
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof •

opening around the cap.

Maximum* ceiling clearance
110” at 31” hood mounting
height above countertop/stove
(may vary with different
model). Chimney extensions
available for higher ceiling.

IMPORTANT:

A minimum of 6” round (standard for this range hood) or 3-1/4 x 10” rectangular duct (purchased separately) •
must be used to maintain maximum airow efciency.
Flexible 6” round duct provided for convenience, always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to •
maximize airow when connecting to provided duct.
Please use

• Duct Run Calculation below to compute the total available duct run when using elbows, transitions

and caps.

ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If long duct run is required, increase •

duct size from 6” to 7” or 8”. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer. Reduc­ing duct size will restrict airow and decrease airow, thus reduce duct size as far away from opening as pos-

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

•
Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 28-inch*.•
Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no higher than 31-inch*.•
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat •
damage and re hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose its performance
and efciency.
If available, also refer to stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood

•
mounting height above range.

* Due to different ceiling height congurations, recommended height may not be applicable.

Minimum Duct Size:

Round - 6” minimum•
Rectangular - 3-1/4 x 10” minimum (requires a 6” to 3-1/4x10” adaptor, not supplied)•

Calculating Vent System Length

To calculate the length of the system you need, deduct the equivalent feet for each vent piece used in the system
from the recommended maximum duct run.

Duct Run Calculation:

Recommended maximum run

6” or 3-1/4 x 10” duct 50 ft

Vent piece deduction
Each 90º elbow used 9 ft
Each 45º elbow used 5 ft
Each 6” to 3/14 x 10” transition used 7 ft
Side wall cap with damper 0 ft

Roof cap 0 ft

Duct Run Calcuation example:

One roof cap, two 90º elbow, and one 45º elbow used:

0ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 23ft used.
Deduct 23ft from 50ft, 27ft maximum available for

straight duct run.

Venting Methods

This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. For non-vented (re-circulating) installa-•
tions, see Recirculating (Non-Vented) Kit on Page 11.

Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.•

IMPORTANT:

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/aluminum duct work only. •
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certied Silver Tape or Duct Tape.•
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.•

Option 1:

Horizontal wall venting

Side wall cap

Vertical roof venting

Option 2:

Roof cap

Ductless Conversion

Ductless conversion is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be installed.

•
When converted, the hood functions as a purifying hood rather than an exhaust hood. Fumes and exhaust
from cooking is drawn and ltered by a set of charcoal lters. The air is then puried and re-circulated back

within the home.

We recommend to ALWAYS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing new duct •

work, if possible. Only when the exhaust option is not possible should you recourse to converting the hood
into a purifying unit.

When converted to be a “purifying” unit, a set of charcoal lters and an air-diverter are required in addition to •

its standard aluminum lter set. Available at your local resellers. The standard aluminum lters are intended
to capture residue from cooking, the optional charcoal lters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking,
and the optional air-diverter redirects ltered clean air back to the house.

Charcoal Filter Installation

NOTE: The charcoal lters are preinstalled if you purchased the range hood with re-circulating kit from us.

Remove aluminum lters on hood.1.
Remove the safety lter under the aluminum lter by unscrewing two screws, then position the charcoal lter 2.
and align the screw holes, reinstall and fasten two screws.
Reinstall the aluminum lters back to the hood.3.
Charcoal lters must be replaced after 120 hours of use (or approximately every 2 to 3 months based on the 4.
average of 1 to 2 hours of daily cooking time). Available at your local reseller.
