WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY
METAL DUCTWORK.
1. Connect the ducting to the hood’s duct collar. Ensure duct joints and exterior penetrations
are sealed with caulk or other similar material to create an air-tight path to minimize
building heat loss or gain and to reduce the potential for condensation. Place/wrap
insulation around duct and/or fan in order to minimize possible condensation buildup
within the duct, as well as building heat loss or gain (Figure 8).
CAUTION: ALWAYS DUCT THE FAN TO THE OUTSIDE THROUGH A
WALL OR ROOF CAP.
SECTION 7
Setting the speed control
1. Your range hood is equipped with a speed control that allows
the hood to run continuously at the preset CFM level. To set
the CFM level, move the rotary dial located inside the wire
compartment to the desired CFM.
2. Locate the rocker switch labeled "ASHRAE 62.2" on the
speed control cover and make sure it is in the ON position. To
turn the continuous speed function off, set the switch to the
OFF position.
WARNING: SWITCHING THE CONTINUOUS
SPEED ROCKER SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION DOES
NOT TURN THE MAIN POWER TO THE HOOD OFF.
SECTION 8
Finishing the Installation
1. Reinstall the bottom cover removed in Section 1 using the 4 screws to secure it in place.
2. Reinstall the filters by fitting them into the channel on either side of the hood and
pushing upwards on them until they are secured in place (Figure 9).
3. Install the included 8 watt LED lamp into the lamp holder by lining up the pins on the
lamp base to the socket of the lamp holder and turning the lamp body clockwise until the
lamp snaps into place and is firmly seated in the lamp holder. Install a 4 watt maximum
type C7 (candelabra base) night light (not included) into the side lamp holder and reinstall
the lamp cover by squeezing the cover’s sides and fitting them into the slots on the hood.
4. Turn switches to the “OFF” position and restore power. Test that the light and the fan are
operating properly.
5. If there is any vibration noise, check for the source and try to tighten fasteners or adjust
the tape to make a tighter connection or seal.
SECTION 4
Installing the Range Hood
CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT
SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
NOTE: If installing into existing construction and you will not have access to the ductwork
once the hood is in place, make ducting connections at this point. Refer to the Ducting
Section for instructions.
1. Install the 4 mounting screws at the previously marked locations. Leave approximately 1/8"
clearance. Slide the hood in place through the keyhole slots and align the front of the hood
so that it is flush with the front of the cabinets. Tighten all screws securely (Figure 6).
CAUTION: DO NOT INSTALL CLOSER THAN 20 INCHES ABOVE COOKING
SURFACE.
SECTION 5
Wiring
CAUTION: ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE
MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING
ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
1. Connect the two loose White wires from the range hood to the White wire from the
supply, and the loose Black wire from the range hood to the Black wire of the supply.
Connect the ground wire (green or bare) from the supply to the green ground screw of
the hood. Use approved methods for all connections (Figure 7).
2. Install the wire compartment cover and tighten screw. Make sure all wiring is securely
contained within the wire compartment.
SECTION 6
Ducting
CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL
BUILDING CODES.
NOTE: The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air
flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible
for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended.
Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed
with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow.
