Important Safety Notice

Read all Instructions before Installing and operating this appliance

• The installation instructions in this guide are intended for qualified installers, service technicians or persons with similar qualified background.

• Installation and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified professional and in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including for fire-rated construction.

• The range hood may have very sharp edges; please wear protective gloves if it is necessary to remove any parts for installing, cleaning or servicing.

• Activating any switch ON before completing installation may cause ignition or an explosion.

• Due to the size and weight of this range hood, it is recommended that two people handle the installation.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

• This range hood is for general ventilating use only. DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials or vapors.

• Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power to OFF at the electric panel and lock it to prevent power from being switched ON accidentally.

• Clean grease-laden surfaces frequently; to reduce the risk of fire and to disperse air properly, make sure to vent air to the outside. DO NOT vent exhaust into spaces between walls or crawl spaces, or into ceiling, attic or garage.

• ALWAYS vent ducted fans to the outside.

• Use only metal ductwork. ALWAYS ground the unit.

• To prevent back drafting, ensure there is sufficient air for proper combustion and exhausting of gases

through the duct.

• When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, take care not to damage electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.

• Ensure that all electrical wiring is properly installed, insulated and grounded.

• Clean old duct work or replace it if necessary to avoid the possibility of a fire due to old accumulations of

grease.

• Check all joints on duct work to ensure proper connections. Tape all joints properly.

• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact LUX.

To reduce the risk of a stove-top grease fire:

• Keep fan, filers, exhaust duct, grease container and grease-laden surfaces clean; grease should not be allowed to accumulate anywhere in the range hood.

• Always turn range hood ON when cooking, especially when cooking at high heat or with an open flame.

• Use the highest heat settings only when necessary.

• Never leave the cooking surface unattended at a high setting; boiling liquids cause smoke and grease may

ignite; heat cooking oils slowly on low or medium settings.

Important Safety Notice

Read all instructions before installing and operating this appliance

• Clean the ventilating fan frequently.

• Always use appropriate cookware and properly sized utensils.

• Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

To reduce the risk of injury in the event of a stove-top grease fire:

• SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal tray, then turn OFF the burner. TO PREVENT BURNS NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN; KEEP FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM FLAMES. If the flames DO NOT go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, or dial your local emergency service immediately.

• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels, as this may cause a violent steam explosion.

• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

• You have a Class A, B or C extinguisher and you know how to operate it.

• The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

• The fire department has been called.

• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit

To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a gas leak:

• Extinguish any open flame.

• DO NOT turn on the range hood fan or any type of ventilator.

• DO NOT turn on the lights or any type of appliance.

• Open all doors and windows to disperse the gas; if you still smell gas, call the gas company and fire

department, or dial your local emergency service immediately.

Venting Requirements

• Vent system must terminate to the outside (roof or side wall).

• DO NOT terminate the duct system in an attic or other enclosed area.

• DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.

• Use metal/aluminum ducts only; rigid metal/

aluminum ducts are recommended.

• DO NOT use plastic ducts.

• Always keep the ducts clean to ensure proper

airflow.

• Calculate the following figures before installation:

1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling.

2. Distance between the floor and the countertop/stove (standard is 36”).

3. Distance between the countertop/stove and the range hood (30’’ to 33’’ is recommended).

4. Height of hood and duct cover.

For the most efficient & quiet operation:

• A distance of 30” to 33” is recommended between stove top and the bottom of range hood.*

• It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof through 6” (15.2cm)

round metal/aluminum vent ducts.

• The size of the ducts should be uniform.

• Use NO MORE THAN three 90° elbows.

• Make sure there is a minimum of 24” (61cm) of

straight vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.

• DO NOT install two elbows together.

• The length of the vent system and the number of

elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.

• The vent system must have a damper; if the roof or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT use a damper (if supplied) on top of the range hood.

• Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.

• Use caulking to seal exterior the wall or roof opening around the cap.

* Due to different ceiling height configurations, recommended height may not be applicable.

IMPORTANT:

Height & Clearance

• 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)
