CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Your hood will not function properly if not
cleaned
Regularly and maintained properly. Clean
the filters regularly (at least twice a month
or every 24 hours of use) by soaking them
in soapy water and rinsing them in the
dishwasher at the normal cycle. When the
filters are removed, the accessible interior
of the canopy can be cleaned of grease,
again using only soap and water. Burned
out halogen light bulbs are exchanged in
the same way as normal light bulbs. They
should not be touched with bare hands due
to high heat and hand oils that can burn out
the bulb. Make sure to replace them with
the same type and waage. (Replacement
Halogen bulbs are Par16 60w 115v)
Make it a habit to turn on the hood on low
speed even when you are only boiling water.
The cleaning of the outside of the hood
depends on the material used as a decorative
exterior. For stainless steel and powder
coated metals, clean with soap and water
only. Do not use abrasive or
Aggressive chemicals! Check the outside end
of the duct at least once a year. Make sure
that the back-dra damper (sold separately)
hinges are free of grease and move easily.
If you have an insect screen installed in the
duct termination, make sure that it is not
broken or dislocated. Filters are dishwasher
safe or you may hand wash them with warm
soapy water.
Select the proper height to mount the hood.
Take into consideration the stature of the person
or persons who will be cooking. A height of 30"
to 36" above the cooking surface will suit most
users. If mounted at a height greater than 36"
above the cooking surface, the hood should
be at least 6" wider than the cooking appliance
to provide a proper capture of heat and grease.
(Refer to the range manufacturer's guidelines)
Once the proper height is established, draw a
level line where the boom of the hood will rest.
If practical, mount a board equal to the width of
the hood along the line so you may rest the hood
On it while installing. Mark a centerline on the
wall equal to the entire height of the hood to
assist with the proper duct alignment and hood
placement. Determine stud location and mark
it clearly. If only one stud can be located, toggle
bolts or additional fastening must be installed to
firmly secure the hood to the wall. Install a 115v
15amp electrical lead in the hole marked on the
Rough -in diagram. (Fig. A) The hole is located
on the centerline of the hood. The center of the
hole is 3” up from the boom of the hood and the
radius is 7/8”.
INSPECT ALL MOLDED PACKAGING AND
BOXES FOR PARTS BEFORE DISCARDING.
ANY DAMAGE MUST BE REPORTED BEFORE
INSTALLING THE HOOD. ONCE THE HOOD
HAS BEEN INSTALLED, NO RETURN WILL BE
ACCEPTED.
