Venting Requirements • • • • • • • Vent system must terminate to the outside (roof or side wall). 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 airflow. Calculate the following figures before installation: 1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling. 2.
IMPORTANT: • A minimum of 6” round (standard for this range hood) or 3-1/4 x 10” rectangular duct (purchased separately) must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency. • Flexible 6” round duct provided for convenience, always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airflow when connecting to provided duct. • Please use Duct Run Calculation below to compute the total available duct run when using elbows, transitions and caps.
Venting Methods • • This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. For non-vented (re-circulating) installations, see Recirculating (Non-Vented) Kit on Page 11. 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.
Charcoal Filter Installation NOTE: The charcoal filters are preinstalled if you purchased the range hood with re-circulating kit from us. 1. Remove aluminum filters on hood. 2. Remove the safety filter under the aluminum filter by unscrewing two screws, then position the charcoal filter and align the screw holes, reinstall and fasten two screws. 3. Reinstall the aluminum filters back to the hood. 4.
Preparation Advanced Preparations: 1. Read the entire installation guide and users manual thoroughly, understand instructions and warnings. 2. Be familiar with the controls of the range hood by reading through Range Hood Operations, Page 13. 3. Place the range hood on a flat, stable surface. Connect the range hood to a designated standard outlet (please refer the product label for the suitable voltage of this unit) and verify no debris has entered the vent openings, then turn on the range hood.
Installation DO NOT INSTALL THE RANGE HOOD BEFORE TESTING IT. MECHANICAL DAMAGE MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED DURING TRANSPORTION. Plug in the range hood to the USA/Canada 120V standard outlet (220V for Europe and other countries), test the blower and the lights before installing it. Installations (refer to Page 4 for parts): Measure the distance between stove top and the bottom of range hood. A distance of 28” to 31” is recommended*.
