A. Important: Must measure following steps before installation.
The Duct Covers are adjustable and designed
to meet various ceiling or wall height. The duct
covers can be adjusted for ceiling between 8ft
and 9ft depending on the distance between the
bottom of the hood and the cook top) For
shorter ceiling, have the duct cover cut at a
sheet metal shop. For higher ceilings buy an
extra upper duct cover which would replace the
original one that came with the hood.
1) Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
2) Distance between the floor to the counter
top/stove.
3) Distance between the counter/stove and
range hood (recommended 28” to 32”).
4) Height of range hood and duct covers
5) Height of the range hood installation.
B. Venting Methods
This range hood can be installed as either ducted or ductless.
WARNING: BEFORE MAKING ANY CUTS OR HOLES FOR INSTALLATION, DETERMINE WHICH
VENTING METHOD WILL BE USED AND CAREFULLY CALCULATE ALL MEASUREMENTS
(a). Outdoor Venting methods (for outdoor venting through the roof or wall only)
The hood is equipped with a transition "duct set" for discharge of fumes to the outdoor. Vent work can terminate
either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90 degree elbow is needed.
IMPORTANT:
- Vent system must vent to the outside (through roof or side wall), unless using a ductless re-circulating kit.
- Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or any other enclosed area.
- Recommended to use metal / flexible aluminum vent only.
- Never use plastic vent.
- Always Keep the duct clean to ensure the proper airflow.
- 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 caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
- Do not use 4" (10.2cm) laundry-type wall caps.
- Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow.
- It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof through 7" round
metal/aluminum vent work. The size of the vent should be uniform.
- Use no more than three 90 degree elbows and do not install two elbows together.
- Make sure there is a minimum of 24"(61cm) of straight vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is
used. The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient
performance.
Page 8
- The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a damper, Do Not use damper supplied with
the range hood.
- Use duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
- Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
Calculate the duct run length:
If ducted with the required minimum of 7" round duct work, the duct run should not exceed 35 equivalent feet.
Calculate the length of the duct work by adding the equivalent feet as below for each piece of duct in the system.
1. Use no more than three 90 degree Elbows.
2. Make sure that there is a minimum of 24" of straight
duct between elbows if more then one is used.
3. DO NOT install two elbows together.
4. If you must elbow right away, do it as far away from the hood's exhaust opening as possible.

(b). Ductless Re-circulating Kit (Charcoal Filter)
- 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 filtered by a set of charcoal filters. The air is then purified and re-circulated back within the
home.
- Ductless conversion is a "purifying" unit, a set of charcoal filter and an air deflector are required in addition to it
standard aluminum filter set.
- The aluminum filter are intend to capture residue from cooking, the optional charcoal filter helps to purify fumes
exhausted from cooking, and the optional air deflector redirects filter clean air back to the house.
F. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
- Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you select and install your hood. The hood installation height
above cook top is users’ preference. The lower the hood above the cook top the more efficient the capturing of cooking odors,
grease and smoke. The hood shall be installed at 28" minimum to 32" above the countertop.
- Fitting material is provided to secure the hood to most types of ceilings or walls. However, a qualified technician must verify
suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall. Must consult a qualified installer and check if the screws and
drywall anchor fit perfectly with your wall.
Page 9
- Due to the size and weight of this range hood, the support must be firmly attached to the ceiling or wall. For plaster or sheet
rock ceilings, the support must be attached to the joists. If this is not possible, a support structure must be built behind the
plaster or sheet rock. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for injury or damage caused by improper installations.
- Put a thick, protective covering over counter top, cook top or range to protect from damage or dirt. Remove any hazardous
objects around the area when installing.
WARNING: CHECK YOUR CEILING OR WALL COMPOSITION TO USE APPROPRIATE ANCHORS.
