Your safety and the safety of others is paramount. Read and obey all important safety instructions we have
provided in this guide. Safety instructions will tell you what the potential hazard is, how to reduce the chance
of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
WARNING
This is the safety alert symbol we use to alert you to potential hazards. All safety messages will follow the
safety alert symbol and the word “WARNING”.
LUX and its authorized dealers decline all responsibility in the event of failure to observe the instructions
given here for installation, maintenance and suitable use of the product.
LUX and its authorized dealers further decline all responsibility for injury due to negligence.
The warranty of the unit automatically expires due to improper maintenance.
LUX and its authorized dealers will not be held responsible for any damages to personal property or real
estate or any bodily injuries, whether caused directly or indirectly by the range hood.
• A 6” round duct (standard for this range hood) or 3-1/4” x 10” rectangular duct (purchased separately) must
be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
• A flexible 6” round duct is provided for installation in decorative chimneys. Always use rigid metal/aluminum
ducts, if available, to maximize airflow when connected to provided duct.
• If turns or transitions are required, keep them as far away as possible from either end of the duct work. If
multiple turns or transitions are required, keep them spaced sufficiently far apart so as not to impede the
airflow.
• Clearance between stove top and hood bottom should be no less than 30” and no more than 33”.*
• It is important to install the range hood at the proper height. Range hoods mounted too low could sustain
heat damage and become a fire hazard while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will not
perform optimally.
• If possible, also refer to the stove manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above the range.
* Due to different ceiling height configurations, recommended height may not be applicable.
• Please follow your area’s effective building and gas codes as well as your municipal regulations.
Minimum Duct Size:
• Round, 6” minimum
• Rectangular, 3-1/4” x 10” minimum (requires a 6” to 3-1/4” x 10” adaptor, not supplied)
• This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
• Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. Venting through a wall requires a 90° elbow.
IMPORTANT:
• NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attic or garage.
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 certified silver or duct tape.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
• Ductless conversion is intended for applications where it is not possible to install exhaust duct work to the
outside. When converted, the hood functions as a purifying hood rather than an exhaust hood. Exhaust fumes
from cooking are drawn and filtered by a set of charcoal filters. The air is then purified and re-circulated back
into the home through the slots located near the top of the upper decorative chimney.
• We recommend to ALWAYS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing ducts or installing new
duct work, if possible. Only when the exhaust option is not possible should you opt to convert the hood into a
purifying unit.
• When converted to a purifying unit, a set of charcoal filters is required in addition to the standard aluminum
filter set (these are available from LUX). The standard aluminum filters are intended to capture residue from
cooking, while the optional charcoal filters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking.
IMPORTANT: Observe all effective governing codes and ordinances. It is the customer’s responsibility to:
A) Contact a qualified electrician and have an electrical socket installed in the wall where the range hood will
be installed, in the area that will be hidden by the decorative chimneys.
B) Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with all local codes and ordinances.
• If codes permit it and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician
determine that the ground path is adequate.
• A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only fused electrical supply is required on a separate 15-amp circuit.
• Do not ground to a gas pipe.
• Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
• RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. This range hood must be properly grounded to prevent electrical shock. Check
with a qualified electrician if you are unsure whether the range hood is properly grounded.
• The range hood should be connected directly to an electrical socket. Do not use an extension cord or an
adapter plug with this appliance.
• Always use the plug provided. If this is not possible, connect three wires according to color (black to hot,
white to neutral and green to ground) to house wires and cap with wire connectors.
Preparation
WARNING
Excessive Weight
At least two people are required to move and
install this range hood. Back or other
injuries could occur if it this warning is not followed.
Advanced Preparations:
1. Read the entire installation and user’s guide thoroughly in order to fully understand the instructions and
warnings before beginning installation.
2. Familiarize yourself with the controls on the range hood by reading the Range Hood Operation section on
page 14.
3. Place the range hood on a flat, stable surface; connect it to a standard outlet (please refer to the product
label for the suitable voltage of this unit), verify that no debris has entered the vent opening, and turn on the
range hood. Verify all controls by referring to the Range Hood Operation section on page 14.
4. Place all supplied parts and required hardware on a flat, stable surface and verify them against the list of
parts on page 5.
5. Carefully remove the white plastic protective coating from the decorative chimneys and range hood.
Preparations:
NOTE: To avoid damage to your range hood, do not allow any debris to enter the vent opening.
1. Determine and mark the center line on the wall where the range hood will be installed. Make sure there is
proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for the exhaust vent.
2. Due to the weight and size of this unit, please make sure that the support system or framework being used
is stable and properly secured to the wall.
3. Put a thick, protective covering over the counter top, cooktop or stove to protect it from damage or dirt.
Remove any hazardous objects from the area.
4. Mark the locations of the holes for the support mounting bracket on the wall and of the vent cut-out (if
used) on the ceiling/wall depending on your exhaust configuration; use a drill and a saber saw or keyhole saw
to cut-out the opening for the vent (see Venting requirements and Electrical requirements, pages 6 and 9).
5. If venting to the outside, install vent system (see Venting Methods, page 8). Use caulking to seal exterior
wall or roof openings.
6. Set aside the aluminum filters until the range hood is properly installed.
7. If the range hood comes with a glass canopy that has not already been mounted to the hood, loosen the
hood’s four canopy screws and washers and carefully install the canopy. Re-tighten the screws but not all the
way. DO NOT put excessive pressure against the glass.
8. Test the hood on a flat surface before installation: check functioning of speeds and lights, and ensure that
the dampers open at the lowest speed.
9. If the dampers are too tight, carefully remove them and trim both exterior edges.
1. Measure the distance between the stove top and the bottom of the range hood and mark it on the wall. A
distance of 30” to 33” is recommended.*
*Due to different ceiling height configurations, recommended height may not be applicable.
2. Make sure the range hood is level and not tilted. Mark the location of the mounting-bracket holes for the
range hood on the wall as shown in Figure 1b.
3. Place the chimney mounting bracket directly above the range hood and hold it against the ceiling. Level it
and mark the location of the mounting-bracket holes for the chimney on the wall as shown in Figure 1a.
4. Locate the hole markings and drill the holes for all the mounting brackets. Use appropriate anchors for your
type of ceiling:
• Sheet rock: Attach range hood to stud blockings if possible. If stud blockings are not accessible, build
a support structure behind the sheet-rock for optimal support.
• Concrete: Use designated screws (not provided).
• Wood: Use at least 4” long wood screws (not provided).
5. Install anchors in the drilled holes for the range hood mounting bracket and chimney mounting bracket as
shown in Figure 2. Loosely fasten the range hood mounting screws into their anchors but DO NOT fasten
screws all the way. Hang the range hood on the screws and tighten them by hand. Leave a gap of
approximately 1/16” between the wall and range hood.
6. Place the chimney mounting bracket against the wall and align its holes with appropriate anchored holes in
the wall. Fasten the chimney mounting bracket screws into the anchors through the holes as shown in
Figure 3. Leave a gap of approximately 1/16” between the wall and the chimney mounting bracket.
8. Calculate the height of the duct tube and extend it approximately 6 inches longer than required. Connect
the lower end of the duct tube to the range hood, and the upper end to the vent system or air diverter (make
sure that electricity feeding this part of the kitchen is turned off at the main electrical panel during this
process). When finished, connect the range hood’s power cord to the power source.
9. Have one person carefully position both the upper and lower chimneys on the range hood while the second
person slides the sides of the chimneys into the 1/16” gap. Fasten both chimneys with four screws.
10. Install the grease cup and aluminum filters. Turn on the electricity at the main electrical panel. Check the
operation of the range hood.
This range hood is designed to remove smoke, as well as cooking vapors and odours, from the cooking surface.
For best results, start the range hood before cooking begins and allow it to operate several minutes after
cooking is completed.

Troubleshooting
1. If the range hood or halogen lights do not operate after installation:
• Ensure the unit is plugged in and the power is on. Verify that a fuse has not blown and that all electrical
wiring is properly installed and connected.
• Check for a defective bulb by replacing it with another known to be working properly (see the Maintenance
section on pages 18 & 19).
2. The range hood vibrates when the blower is on:
• The range hood might not have been properly secured to the wall. Check with your installer.
3. The blower or fan seems weak:
• Check that the duct sizeis at least 6” or 3-1/4”x 10”. Range hood WILL NOT function efficiently if the duct is
too small or if the duct is loosely secured.
• Check to see if the duct is clogged or if the damper unit (butterfly flappers) is installed correctly and is
opening properly. A tight mesh on a side wall cap unit might also cause restriction to the airflow.
4. The lights work but the blower is not spinning, is stuck or is rattling:
• The blower might be jammed or scraping the bottom due to shipping damage. Please contact LUX
immediately.
5. The hood is not venting properly:
• Make sure the distance between the stove top and the bottom of the hood is 30” to 33” (note that due to
different ceiling heights, this recommended height may not be applicable).
• Reduce the number of elbows and the length of duct work. Verify that all joints are properly connected,
sealed, and taped.
• Make sure the power is on high speed for heavy cooking.
NOTE: For all other inquiries, please contact LUX.
Take note:
Slots, holes and openings near the top of the upper chimney are used to exhaust cleaned air if range hood has
been converted into a purifying unit. If you did not install a re-circulation conversion kit, you do not need these
slots, holes or openings.
• Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this guide before operating the appliance. Save this
information for future reference.
• Always leave the blower safety grilles and the filters in place. Without these components, the blower can
snag hair, fingers and loose clothing.
• NEVER expose blowers to cigarette ash, ignitable substances or other foreign objects.
• NEVER leave cooking unattended. Hot oil used in pan frying can easily overheat and catch fire. The risk is
higher when the oil has been used several times.
• NEVER cook on “open” flame under the range hood. Check deep-fryers during use as super-heated oil may
be flammable.
Cleaning:
• The build-up of greasy residue in the blower and filters increases the chance of fire. Keep the unit free of
grease and residue build-up at all times.
• Filters must be cleaned periodically and be free from accumulated cooking residue (see cleaning instructions
on page 18). Old and worn-out filters must be replaced immediately.
• Do not operate blowers when filters are removed; never disassemble parts to clean without proper
instructions. Disassembly should be performed by qualified personnel only. Read and understand all
instructions and warnings in this guide before proceeding.
SAFETY WARNING: Never put your hand into the area housing the fan while the fan is operating!
Cleaning the filters and grease container regularly will optimize the range hood’s performance, prolong its life,
and preserve its appearance.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces:
• Clean periodically with hot soapy water and a cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive agents or abrasive
detergents (e.g. Comet Power Scrub®, EZ-Off® Oven Cleaner); do not use steel wool/scoring pads that will
scratch and damage the stainless steel surface. For heavier cleaning, use a liquid degreasing agent such as
Formula 409® or Fantastic®.
• If (stainless steel) hood looks splotchy, use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the hood. Avoid
getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow the directions of the cleaner.
CAUTION: Do not leave the cleaner on too long as this may cause damage to finish. Use soft towel to wipe
off the cleaning solution, gently rubbing away any stubborn spots. Use a dry, soft towel to dry the hood.
• After cleaning, you may use non-abrasive stainless steel polish such as 3M® or ZEP® to polish and bring out
the lustre and grain of the material. Always scrub lightly, with a clean cotton cloth, and in the direction of the
grain.
• DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.
• DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes as small bits of steel may adhere to the surface of the range
hood and cause rusting.
• DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with
stainless steel for extended periods. Many such compounds contain chemicals that may be harmful to the
steel. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
• This range hood uses 20W 12V (G4) halogen light bulbs.
• Before replacing a light bulb, make sure the range hood is unplugged or the breaker has been turned OFF.
Do not touch the lights until they have cooled.
• Place a small flathead screwdriver between light housing and lens cover. Carefully and gently pry up the lens
cover. Remove the old halogen light bulb by pulling in the direction of the wavy arrow as illustrated below. Do
not touch the new light bulb with your bare hands.
• Reverse the steps to install a new halogen light bulb. After the new bulb has been installed, turn ON the
breaker and the range hood to test that the new light bulb is working properly.
Replacing GU10 Type Halogen Light Bulbs:
• Make sure the range hood is unplugged or the breaker has been turned OFF.
• Make sure the lights are cool to the touch. Press in and turn the light bulb clockwise to remove it. Install a
new light bulb by pressing it in and turning counter clockwise.
• Turn ON the breaker and the range hood to test that the new light bulb is working properly.
DO NOT touch bulbs until they have been switched off and have cooled.
Touching hot bulbs can cause serious burns.
