Venting Requirements

• Vent system must terminate to the out­side (roof or side wall), unless using a
recirculating kit.

• Do not terminate the vent system in an
attic or other enclosed area.

• Do not use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type
wall caps.

• Use metal/aluminum vent only. Rigid
metal/aluminum vent is recommended.

• Do not use plastic vent.

• Always keep the duct clean to ensure

proper airow.

• Calculate the following gures before
installation:

1. Distance from the oor to the ceil-

ing.

2. Distance between the oor to the

counter top/stove (recommend 24”
to 30”).

3. Distance between the counter top/

stove to the range hood.

4. Height of hood and duct cover.

Height & Clearance

Cabinet

Venting 8”
or 10”Duct

Range hood

Min: 24”

Max: 30”

For the most ecient and quiet
operation:

• It is recommended that the range hood
be vented vertically through the roof
through 8” or 10” round metal/ alumi­num vent work.

• The size of the vent should be uniform.

• Use no more than three 90° elbows.

• Make sure there is a minimum of 24”

(61 cm) of straight vent between the

elbows if more than one elbow is used.

• Do Not install two elbows together.

• The length of vent system and number

of elbows should be kept to a mini­mum to provide ecient performance.

• 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 aluminum tape to seal all joints in

the vent system.

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

36” base

IMPORTANT:

• A minimum of a 8” round duct (standard for this range hood) must be used to maintain maximum airow
eciency. There is also an optio to use an 10” round duct size for this unit.

• Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airow when connecting to provided
duct.

• Please use Duct Run Calculation below to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions
and caps.

• ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns in the duct run. If a long duct run is re-

quired, increase the duct size from 8” to 10”. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake
reducer. Reducing the duct size will restrict airow and decrease eciency.

• If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as possible.

• Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 24-inch*.

• Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no higher than 30-inch*.

• It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat

damage and re hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose its performance
and eciency.

• If available, also refer to stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range.

* Due to dierent ceiling height congurations, recommended height may not be applicable.

Minimum Duct Size:

• Round - 8” minimum

• Round - 10” recommended/optional

Calculating Vent System Length

To calculate the length of the duct system you require, subtract the equivalent feet for each “Vent piece” (Table
Below) used in the system from the “Recommended maximum run” (Table Below). The longest duct run that is
acceptable (if completely straight) is 50 feet. The number of vent pieces (elbow, transition, etc.) installed in your
duct run will determine the maximum length the duct run can be. Please refer to the example below:

Duct Run Calculation:

Recommended maximum run

8” or 10” round duct 50 ft

Vent piece deduction

Each 90º elbow used 9 ft
Each 45º elbow used 5 ft
Each round to rectangle transition used 7 ft
Side wall cap with damper 7 ft
Roof cap 7 ft

Duct Run Calcuation example:

One roof cap, two 90º elbows, and one 45º elbow used:

7ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 30ft used.

The above vent pieces used are equivalent to 30ft of a
straight duct run. Subtract 30ft from the allowable 50ft.
The remaining distance of 20ft is the longest that the

straight ducting (in addition to the vent pieces) can be.

Venting Methods

• This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.

• Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.

IMPORTANT:

• 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 metal/aluminum duct work only.

• Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certied Aluminum Foil Tape.

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

Electrical Requirements

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

It is the customer’s responsibility:

• To contact a qualied electrician

• To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/

NFPA 70 — latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22. 2 No.

Troubleshooting

1. If the range hood or lights do not operate after in­stallation:

2. The range hood vibrates when the blower is on: • The range hood might not have been secured prop-

3. The blower or fan seems weak: • Check that the duct sized used is at least 8” . Range

4. The lights work but the blower is not spinning at all,

is stuck or is rattling.

• Check if the range hood has been plugged in, make
sure that all power has been turned back ON, fused
not blown and all electrical wiring are properly con-

nected.

• Swap out light assembly to working ones to deter-

mine whether it is caused by defective bulbs. See
Replacing the light bulbs on Page17.

erly on to the ceiling or wall.

hood WILL NOT function eciently with insu­cient duct size. For example: Connecting this hood

to 4”, 5’ or 6” duct will reduce the suction and

create extra noise and vibrations. Check if duct is
clogged or if damper unit is not installed correctly
or opening properly. A tight mesh on a side wall cap
unit might also cause restriction to the air ow.

• The blower might be jammed or scraping the bot­tom due to shipping damage. Please contact us im­mediately.

5. The hood is not venting out properly: • Make sure the distance between the stove top and

the bottom of the hood is within* 24” and 30” in
distance. *Due to dierent ceiling height congura-

tions, recommended height may not be applicable.

• Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct

work. Check if 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 Victory Range Hoods.

Use and Care Information

Operations:

• Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual before operating the appliance. Save these

instructions for future reference.

• Always leave safety grills and lters in place. Without these components, operating blowers could catch on to

hair, ngers and loose clothing.

• NEVER dispose cigarette ashes, ignitable substances, or any foreign objects into blowers.

• NEVER leave cooking unattended. When frying, oil in the pan can easily overheat and catch re. The risk of

self combustion is higher when the oil has been used several times.

• NEVER cook on “open” ames under the range hood. Check deep-fryers during use: Superheated oil may be

ammable.

Cleaning:

• The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and lters may cause increased inammability. Keep unit clean
and free of grease and residue build-up at all times to prevent possible res.

• Filters must be cleaned periodically and free from accumulation of cooking residue (see cleaning instructions
on Page 17). Old and worn lters must be replaced immediately.

• DO NOT operate blowers when lters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper instruc­tions. Disassembly is recommended to be performed by qualied personnel only. Read and understand all

instructions and warnings in this manual before proceeding.

Maintenance

SAFETY WARNING: Never put your hand into area housing the fan while the fan is operating!

For optimal operation, clean range hood and all bae/spacer/lter/grease tunnel/oil container regularly. Regular care will

help preserve the appearance of the range hood.

Cleaning Exterior surfaces:

• Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergent (e.g. Comet
Power Scruv®, EZ-O® oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads, which will scratch and damage the stainless steel
surface. For heavier oil use liquid degrease such as “Forumla 409®” or “Fantastic®” brand cleaner.

• If the hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the hood. Avoid
getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions of the stainless steel cleaner. CAUTION: Do

not leave on too long as this may cause damage to the hood nish. Use a soft towel to wipe o the cleaning solution,
gently rub o 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 bu out the stainless
luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, a with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain.

• DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.

• DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause rusting.

• DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel

for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals, which may be harmful. Rinse with water after ex­posure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Cleaning Aluminum Grease Filter / Stainless Steel Filterless Grill:

IMPORTANT: Drain oil from grease tunnel and lters before oil and residue overow!

• The stainless steel lters are intended to lter out residue and grease from cooking. It need not be replaced on a regular
basis, but are required to be kept clean.

• Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use.

• Remove and clean by hand. Spray “Formula 409®” or equivalent degreasing detergent and leave to soak if very dirty.

Dry the lters and re-install before using the hood.
