UC-PS18 USER MANUAL 4

Preparation: What to Do Before Installation

Before installing your range hood, carefully follow these steps:

1. Read This Manual

Read through all the steps. If you fail to read the instructions
carefully, we will not be responsible for damages incurred on
your part. If you’re not confident in your abilities to install the
range hood properly, we recommend hiring a certified
technician to complete the installation.

2. Gather Your Tools

Ensure you have all the necessary tools according to the
previous page.

3. Inspect the Unit

Unpack the unit and check your range hood for damage or
missing parts. Plug it in to an outlet to ensure the fan and
lights work. If anything is damaged or missing, contact the
seller to get the issues solved. Don’t throw away packaging
until you’re sure you are fully satisfied with the product.

4. Ensure There is Proper Height Clearance

To ensure the highest performance, the bottom of your range
hood must be between 24” and 30” from the top of the
cooking surface. For gas ranges, the required distance is 30”.
Do not exceed the maximum height of 30" while in operation.
This is very important! Installing at the incorrect height could
lead to drastic reduction in the range’s performance or even
cause a fire.

5. Check Your Power Supply and Ducts

Check to ensure your main voltage is in line with the required
voltage outlined on the rating plate inside this hood. Also
check the domestic power supply to guarantee adequate
earthing before installation.
This range hood must be ducted to the outside. Don’t
connect the range hood to exhaust ducts that carry any type
of combustion fumes like fireplaces, boilers, or any similar
items. The vents should have a short, straight run to the
outside. Avoid any elbows if possible, and if an elbow is
required, a minimum of a 12” straight run is imperative before
the elbow.

Is it a vertical rectangular duct?
If so, take off the round adapter that is preinstalled on the
unit by removing 10 screws. Attach the rectangular
adapter in its place and tighten the adapter with the
previously-removed 10 screws. Remove the tape holding
up thedampers.

IMPORTANT: Failure to remove the tape from the
damper will cause reduction in performance.

6. Figure Out Ducting Requirements & Install Adapter

This range hood requires ducting to the outside for ventila­tion. This range hood comes pre-installed with a vertical 6”
round adapter. The package comes with a horizontal and a
vertical rectangular adapter.

Look at the duct you’re going to attach the range hood to.
