MOUNT HEIGHTS
INSTALLATION
Min 24"-Max 32"
36"
Minimum mount height between range top to
hood bottom should be no less than 24".
Maximum mount height should be no higher
than 32".
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 eciency.
If available, also refer range manufacturer's
height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting height above range.
Minimum clearance of 24”hood above range
height.
Maximum clearance 32" hood above range
height.
DUCTING
(AK8000AS, AK8100S, AK8200S)
A minimum of 6" round or 3-1/4” x 10"rectangular
duct must be used to maintain maximum air ow
eciency for AK8000/AK8100 and 8” minimum
must be used for AK8200.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only.
Flexible ducts could restrict air ow by up to 50%.
Also use calculation (on right) to compute total
available duct run when using elbows, transitions
and caps.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or
transitions and turns. If long duct run is required,
increase duct size from 6" to 7” or 8". If a reducer
is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake
reducer. Reduce duct size as far away from opening as possible.
If turns or transitions are required:
Install as far away from opening and as far
apart, between 2, as possible.
Minimum Duct Size:
Round:
6" minimum for AK8000AS/AK8100S
8" minimum for AK8200S
Rectangular:
Requires an adapter. Readily available at most
hardware stores.

INSTALLATION
Mounting the Range Hood
1. Determine and mark the mounting
position of the range hood with a pencil.
2. Cut out the opening where the range
hood will be installed.
3. Cut out wall or ceiling area for clearance
of ductwork. Install ductwork prior to
range hood.
4. Determine location for the power
supply cable. After drilling access hole,
rout the cable into the electrical box
of the range hood. Secure with a cable
lock and connect to range hood
electrical system.
5. Position range hood into location and
ensure spring locking clip has locked
into position.
6. Fasten wood screws into wood frame
opening via the long side. Wood blocking
may be necessary if wood frame is too thin.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING (AK8100S, AK8200S)
Models AK8100S and AK8200S hoods are designed with a self cleaning feature.
The centrifigal blower system automatically liquefies cooking residue accumulated
in its internal housing and deposits the residue in the residue cups. Nevertheless,
grease from cooking can also dry and adhere in the internal housing. Running the
self clean function periodically will flush out accumulated residue in the range
hood’s internal housing.
Cleaning should be completed approximately once a month under normal use.
Non corrosive, non abrasive grease cutting spray detergents are recommended.
Self Cleaning Instructions:
Remove safety grilles by unscrewing the thumb screw on each grille.
Turn blowers on lowest speed for cleaning.
With nozzle on spray, squirt grease cutting detergent directly onto blower blades
10 - 15 times. (Do not use oven cleaner)
Allow self cleaning to complete for 5 minutes, turn blower off.
Remove residue cups. Clean with mild detergent or in dishwasher.
Re-install residue cups and safety grilles before using hood.
CLEANING (AK8000AS)
The AK8000AS metal mesh filter fitted by the factory is intended to
filter out residue and grease from cooking. It need not be replaced
on a regular basis but is required to be kept clean.
Filter should be cleaned every 30 days based on a usage of 1 hour
per day. Clean filter more often if performance decreases.
Remove and clean by hand or in dishwasher on low setting. Or spray
degreasing detergent and leave to soak if heavily soiled.
Dry filter and re-install before using hood.
Should filter wear out due to age and prolonged use, contact the
manufacturer.
SURFACE MAINTENANCE (AK8000AS, AK8100S, AK8200S)
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use
corrosive or abrasive detergent or steel wool/scouring pads which will scratch
and damage surface.

For heavier soil use liquid degreaser. Do not use any product containing
chlorine bleach. Do not use “orange” cleaners.
