Parts Supplied: UC200 Series Under Cabinet Range Hood (vary with model) Aluminum Filters (Pre-Installed) for 1900 & 2000 Class for 4100 Class for 1800 Class Rectangular Exhaust/Vent Adapter Round Exhaust /VentAdapter (For vertical or horizontal venting) (For vertical venting) Qty: 4 PCS (For sheet rock only) Qty: 4 PCS Charcoal filter (Optional re-circulating kit available only on UC2002000 Class) Page 4
Venting Requirements • • • • • • • Height & Clearance 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. • 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 total available duct run when using elbows, transitions and caps. • ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns.
Venting Methods 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 certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap. Venting Methods: • Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall.
Ductless Conversion • • • Ductless conversion is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be installed. When converted, the hood functions as a purifying hood rather than an exhaust hood. Fumes and exhaust from cooking is drawn and filtered by a set of charcoal filters. The air is then purified and re-circulated back within the home. We recommend to ALWAYS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing new duct work, if possible.
Preparation WARNING Advanced Preparations: • Be familiar with the controls of the range hood by reading through Range Hood Operations, Page 13-14. • Place the range hood on a flat, stable surface. Connect the Excessive Weight range hood to a designated standard outlet and turn on the Require three or more person to move and range hood. Verify all operations of the range hood by refer- install this range hood. Spinal or other bodiring to Range Hood Operations, Page 13-14.
Installation Installations (refer to Page 4 for parts): Measure the distance between stove top and the bottom of range hood. A distance of 27” to 30” is recommended*. *Due to different ceiling height configurations, recommended height may not be applicable. 1. You have two ways (A: Vertical Venting, or B: Horizontal Venting) to mount this range hood: 1. Determine venting method as shown on Page 7 and proceed if you would like to vent vertically. 2.
