IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
WARNING
RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
A. Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on
medium settings.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
SAFETY INFORMATION
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.
B. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting.
Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s
guidelines and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film
with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance
surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film.
Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the
first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from
packaging tape on new appliances is an application of
a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a
soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts.
NOTE: For further cleaning instructions/suggestions,
please refer to the Care And Cleaning section.

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.
CARE AND CLEANING: Filters
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.
Order Charcoal Filter UXCF91

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

Duct Install Planning
Ŷ This 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.
Ŷ Use metal ductwork only.
Ŷ Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
Ŷ Plan 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.
Ŷ Maximum equivalent duct length for 100 CFM:
150 foot for vent hoods.
Ŷ Install 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.
Ŷ
When 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

Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with
this appliance. Follow National Electrical Codes or
prevailing local codes and ordinances.
Electrical supply
These vent hoods must be supplied with 120V,
60Hz, and connected to an individual, properly
grounded branch circuit, and protected by a 15 or
20 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
Ŷ Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.
Ŷ If the electrical supply does not meet the above
requirements, call a licensed electrician before
proceeding.
Ŷ Route house wiring as close to the installation
location as possible in the ceiling or wall.
Ŷ Connect the wiring to the house wiring in
accordance with local codes.
Grounding instructions
The grounding conductor must be connected to
a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.
WARNING
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or service representative if you are in doubt whether
the appliance is properly grounded.

INSTALLING THE HOOD BRACKET MOUNT
Hood Body
1. Put a protective covering over the surface
below the location of the hood to protect from
dirt and/or damage.
2. Determine and mark the centerline (C) on the
wall (draw line up to the ceiling) where the range
hood will be installed. Based on the ceiling height,
determine the distance between 24” required
min, 36” recommended max (X) needed between
the cooking surface (B) and the bottom of the
hood. Draw a horizontal line at X. Align the install
template so that the bottom of the template is
centered and is level with the horizontal line drawn
at height X.
Duct Covers and Power Supply
1. Place the duct cover bracket (E) on the wall so that
its edge is against the ceiling and level, making
sure the slots are in direct contact with the wall.
Align the center notches of the bracket and the
centerline. Mark the location of the screw holes
furthest apart from the center line if possible. If one
of the screw holes aligns with a stud, then a wood
screw will be used for that location. For the other
hole or if there are no studs, install 2 mounting
anchors (H). Place the duct cover bracket (E)
on the wall and install with wood screws (L) and
mounting screws (D) as needed.
2. The house electrical wiring must fall in the gray
shaded area shown below. From the lower left
corner of the shaded area, a minimum of 20” of
house electrical wiring is recommended to reach
the electrical junction box on the hood.

3. Find the stud locations and mark them on the
template.
4. Place the hood mounting bracket (G) on its outline
on the template. Mark at least one wood screw (L)
location that is on a stud. If another stud cannot be
found, mark at least two other screw locations for
mounting anchors, one on each side of the wood
screw (L). Remove the bracket from the wall and
install the mounting anchors (H). Place the hood
mounting bracket (G) back on the wall and mount it
with the wood screws (L) and mounting screws (D)
as needed. It is recommended to create a pilot hole
in the studs for wood screws (L).
