VENTED RANGE HOOD
TO INSTALL RANGE HOOD
INSTALLING DUCT WORK:
Figure 1 shows typical installation. The unit vents vertically only
with 3% X 10 duct.
Use figure 2 to cut duct hole and wiring entrance hole in furr
down. Note control side for hood on fig. 2; be sure this is the
same side as the cook top controls.
Installation under kitchen furr down:
1.
For easy installation hood should be disassembled. See fig.
4. First remove aluminum filter from fan box assembly by
pulling tab toward opposite end of filter. Then remove blower
assembly by unpluging blower power leads and pushing
retaining brackets off retaining bumps. Finally, remove black
fan box assembly by removing 6 screws. (See fig. 4). Remove
hood mounting brackets from interior shipping position.
2. Depending on mounting surface, use either prepunched
holes in the hood flanges at the top or the mounting brackets
included with the hood to secure the hood to the furr down. If
mounting brackets are used, screw the brackets to the furr
down six to nine inches from the hood ends. Use the center hole
to mount the bracket initially. Leave the center screw loose
enough to rotate on the center screw. Rotate the brackets as
shown in Fig. 3, and lift the hood canopy (without black fan box
assy.) into position. Rotate brackets until they are supporting
the hood canopy. Attach remaining screws.
3.
Make electrical connection in wiring box according to the
latest National Electrical Code and applicable local codes.
Hood must be permanently grounded.
4. Lift fan box assembly into position and make necessary
ductwork connections. Secure fan box assembly to hood
canopy with six screws.
5. Replace blower 8 filter.

NOTE: It has been found that a large part of theenergy loss of
the average home is due to outside air infiltrating the structure.
Seal around ductwork where it passes through outside walls or
ceiling. Seal around electrical wiring also.

OPERATION AND CARE OF
BLOWER CONTROL
This range hood has a solid state motor speed control. This
allows an infinite control of blower air moving capacity from 370
CFM down. After setting the control to a desired speed, it will
take approx. 15 seconds for the blower to respond to that
setting.
CARE OF BLOWER
Under normal operating conditions, this blower requires no
oiling for the first year. After the first year oil every 6 months
with SAE 20 oil.
USE NO LAMP LARGER THAN 75 WATT: Hood is designed
for 75 watt flood lamp for greater illumination and bulb life.
