6Island Mount Range Hood Installation Instructions
DUCTLESS CONVERSION
Ductless conversion is intended for applications where exhaust duct work cannot be installed. When converted, the
hood functions as a purifying hood rather than an exhaust hood. Fumes and exhaust from cooking are drawn and
ltered by a set of charcoal lters. The air is then puried 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 possi-
ble. Only convert the hood into a purifying unit when the exhaust option is not available.
When converted to be a “purifying” unit, a set of charcoal lters and an air-diverter are required in addition to the
standard aluminum lter set, all available at your local resellers. The standard aluminum lters are intended to cap-
ture residue from cooking, the optional charcoal lters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking, and the optional
air-diverter redirects ltered clean air back to the house.
CHARCOAL FILTER INSTALLATION
If you purchased the range hood with re-circulating kit from Signature Hardware, the charcoal lters are preinstalled.
1. Remove aluminum lters on hood.
2. Remove the safety lter under the aluminum lter by unscrewing 2 screws, and position the charcoal lter and align
the screw holes, reinstall and fasten two screws.
3. Reinstall the aluminum lters back to the hood.
4. Charcoal lters must be replaced after 120 hours of use (or approximately every 2 to 3 months based on the
average of 1 to 2 hours of daily cooking time).
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. (Please consult with a qualied electrician for 220-Volt 50 Hz voltage)
It is the customer’s responsibility:
1. To contact a qualied electrical installer.
2. To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 or the latest edition, or CSA Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22. 2 No.0-M91 or the
latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
If a separate ground wire is used (code permiting), it is recommended that a qualied electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
A 120-Volt, 60 Hz, AC-only (USA & Canada standard), fused electrical supply is required on a separate 15-amp
circuit, fused on both sides of the line.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure that the range hood is properly grounded.
