Filters

Be sure the circuit breaker is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.

Metal Grease Filter

The metal filters trap grease during cooking.

The filters must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is in

use. The grease filters are dishwasher-safe and should be cleaned every month, depending on usage of the hood.

To remove:

Disengage the filter lock to release the filter.

To replace:

Fit the tabs at the bottom of the filter into the slots in the back of the filter opening. Lift up the front side of the filter and push gently until the filter locks into place. Make sure the filter lock is in the closed position to secure the filter.

To clean:

Swish the filter in hot soapy water and rinse in clean water or wash it in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive

cleansers.

NOTE: Some discoloration of the filter may occur in the dishwasher.

Charcoal Filter (for recirculation installation only)

If the model is not vented to the outside, the air needs to be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors.

NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filter in an automatic dishwasher.

The charcoal filter is included with the unit. It cannot be cleaned; it must be replaced. It is recommended that the charcoal filter be replaced every 6 months or if it is noticeably dirty or discolored.

To remove:

1.Remove the metal filters—see Metal grease filter section.

2.Unclip the charcoal filter by pressing the release clip.

3.Carefully remove charcoal filter from tab.

Surfaces

Stainless Steel Surfaces

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the brush line. Follow

the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will

remove surface rust, tarnish, and small blemishes. To receive a coupon for a trial sample of Bar

Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ follow the link below or scan the QR Code.

Installation Preparation

ADVANCE PLANNING

Duct Install Planning

ŶThis hood is designed to be vented vertically through the ceiling. Use an 8" round duct. Use locally supplied elbows to vent horizontally through the rear wall.

ŶUse metal ductwork only.

ŶDetermine the exact location of the vent hood.

ŶPlan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors. To maximize the ventilation performance of the vent system:

1.Minimize the duct run length and number of transitions and elbows.

2.Maintain a constant duct size.

3.Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.

NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduces performance.

ŶMaximum equivalent duct length for 100 CFM: 150 foot for vent hoods.

ŶInstall a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the exterior opening. Purchase the wall or roof cap and any transition and length of duct needed in advance.

ŶWhen applicable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local building code requirements. Use makeup air kit JXMUA8.

Vent system can terminate either through the roof

INSTALL DUCT COVERS

1.For ducted and recirculation installation:

Remove protective film from duct covers. Place the upper duct cover so that it slides down inside of the lower duct cover.

NOTE: For recirculation, the upper duct cover must be installed with the exhaust vents on the top towards the ceiling.

Depending on the amount of overlap between the top and bottom duct covers, the top may be reversed to hide vent holes. Refer to Installation Height Table for possible heights.

Place the set of duct covers by sitting them down to fit securely on top of the hood. Finish attaching the lower duct cover to the body of the hood with two machine screws (J) that screw from up underneath the hood.

2.Install the upper duct cover by carefully raising it up to avoid scratching until it reaches the ceiling. Push the duct cover flush against the wall, then use two machine screws (J) to mount the upper duct to the duct mounting bracket.

3.If recirculating, install the charcoal filters. Then reinstall the grease filters to the hood, see the Filters section.

4.Turn the power supply on. Turn on the blower and light. If the range hood does not operate, check that the circuit breaker is not tripped or the house fuse blown. If the unit still does not operate, disconnect the power supply and check that the wiring connections have been made properly.
