PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, observe the following:
1. This range hood is for general ventilating use only. Do not use it to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials or vapours.
2. This appliance must be installed by a qualified technician. The seller declines all
responsibility in case of failure to adhere to safety standards. Ensure that exhausted air
from this unit is not directed into flue that is used for venting fumes from other appliances.
3. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
4. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch electric power off at central service panel and
lock service panel door so as to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
When the power disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent
warning device to the power service panel.
5. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified persons in accordance
with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
6. To prevent back drafting, sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue. Follow heating equipment guidelines and safety standards as
published by the local code authorities.
7. When cutting or drilling into any wall or ceiling, take precautions so as to not damage
electrical wiring.
8. Ducted ventilation must always be vented outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.
9. Use only metal ductwork.
Install this hood in accordance with all requirements specified.
WARNING
This appliance requires a 120V 60 Hz electrical supply, and must be connected to an individual
properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20-ampere circuit breaker or time delay
fuse.
Two people are required for installation
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut then a
supporting frame must be constructed.
Before making cut-outs make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for the
exhaust vent.
Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you beginning installation of your
hood to ensure proper mounting height and clearance.

DUCTING
Always use rigid type metal ducts. Flexible ducts can restrict airflow by more than 50%. 6” round
ductwork must be used to maintain maximum air flow efficiency with the 550 CFM motor. Units
with 300 CFM motors may use 4" round ductwork, however 6" ductwork is recommended.
Reduce the number of transitions and turns as much as possible. If a reducer is used, install a
long (cone shaped) reducer instead of a pancake reducer. If reducers, turns and transitions are
required, install them as far away from the exit exhaust opening as possible and as far apart from
each other as possible.
Below are some examples of different types of ventilation:

MOUNT HEIGHTS AND CLEARANCE
Minimum mount height between
range top and the hood bottom
should be no less than 28” and no
more than 36”. The hood must be
installed at the correct mounting
height. Hoods mounted too low
could result in heat damage. Hoods
mounted too high, will be less
effective and performance will suffer.
Recommended height for optimal
performance is 30" above the range
top.

CANOPY RANGE HOOD INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
All electrical work must be done by a qualified electrician or person with technical background
and understanding. Before beginning installation switch electric power off at central service panel
and lock service panel door so as to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When
the power disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device to
the power service panel. Do not use extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance. Follow
National electrical codes or prevailing local codes and ordinances.
INSTALLING A CANOPY RANGE HOOD
1. Determine the necessary height for the conduit and cut a 1-1/4” hole. Run wires through
the hole according to local codes and ordinances. Use caulking to seal all openings. Do
not turn the power on until completion of installation.
2. Find studs behind drywall with a stud finder. Make sure there is a stud or that the wall is
strong enough to support the weight of the range hood. If no stud can be found attach a
piece of wood or necessary supports to ensure the strength of the wall is enough to hold
the weight of the range hood. All fastener locations must span the studs, otherwise
proceed as follows:
a. Cut out drywall along marked lines;
b. Install support beams between studs and ensure that new supports are firmly flush
with existing stud front;
c. Make sure all the mounting screws will anchor to added studs;
d. Replace drywall and refinish.
3. Tighten the screws in three quarters of the way and hang the range hood. Hanging and
positioning the range hood will require at least two people and failure to do so may result
in injury.
4. Once the range hood is in place, tighten screws completely.
5. Level the machine using a carpenter’s level across the bottom.
6. Attach shaft of the Canopy fan and adjust according to need. A small metal bracket can
be secured to the top of the shaft for better stability.
7. Connect ducting to transition and seal with duct tape.
8. Switch electric power off at central service panel and ensure power cannot be turned
back on accidentally prior to completion of installation. Connect range hood wires to
