REMOVING EXISTING RANGE HOOD
WARNING: Disconnect power source.
If an existing range hood is installed, it must be carefully removed.
This should be done with an assistant. Although these instructions
won’t apply to every kind of range hood, they will provide an
overview of the process.
1. Turn the fan and light (if equipped) of the existing range hood
on, and have an assistant turn circuits off and then back on
until the fan and light both shut off. If you are unable to locate
the circuit, turning off the service disconnect or main should
shut power off to the entire house.
2. Cover the range top with cardboard or a protective blanket to
ensure it does not get damaged during removal of the range
hood.
3. Inspect the cabinet or other storage areas above the range hood.
This can provide a great deal of information as to how the hood is
secured, powered and ducted.
4. Remove all covers, filters, light bulbs, etc. Range hoods are
often held by one or more fasteners that may be hidden behind
these objects.
5. Identify wiring connections. One of the covers removed above
should provide access to the wiring compartment. This is
where the house power is brought into the range hood and
connected to it.
6. Disconnect wiring. Generally, white, black and possibly green
or bare wires from the range hood are connected to like
coloured wires from a cable or conduit with wire nuts or other
connectors designed for this purpose. Unscrew wire nuts
or other devices, cut off any wires connected with crimped
connectors close to the connector to leave as much wire as
possible.
7. If the bottom of the range hood was previously caulked, take a
sharp knife and score it all the way around so it will be easier
to remove.
8. With an assistant providing support to the range hood, remove all
but two fasteners. Leave two fasteners at opposite ends of the
hood in place. Merely loosen these two enough to peer into the
void between the support surface and the hood to see how the
unit is powered.
9. Have an assistant hold the hood while the final two screws are
removed.
10. The hood will be connected only by the power source cable
or conduit (if unable to disconnect in previous steps above)
or duct work. Disconnect the wiring from the power source.
Check for the presence of any screws used to connect the
hood to duct work, and remove them. The hood should now be
able to be moved freely.
VENTING
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal duct
work. Never use plastic vents.
CAUTION: Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls,
ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
1. Your venting system must vent to the outdoors either horizontally
through the back wall or vertically through the roof. Check to
see which venting method you have. If this is a new installation,
choose the venting method that suits your needs.

2. Before making cuts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent. Carefully measure
and mark all measurements. Double check all measurement
markings before cutting.
3. It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically
through the roof with 152 mm (6 in) round metal/aluminum
duct work. The size of the vent should be uniform.
4. The length of the vent system and number of elbows should be
kept to a minimum for effective performance.
5. If ducted with the required minimum of 152 mm (6 in) round
duct work, the duct run should not exceed 10.7 m (35 ft).
Calculate the length of the duct work by adding the equivalent
feet as below for each piece of duct in the system:
45° Elbow 914 mm (36 in)
90° Elbow 1524 mm (60 in)
90° Flat elbow 3657.6 mm (144 in)
Wall cap 0 mm (0 in)
2.74 m (9 ft) Straight duct 2.74 m (108 in)
2 – 90° Elbows 3048 mm (120 in)
Wall cap 0 cm (0 in)
Total system 5791 mm (228 in)

Installation (continued)
6. Use no more than three 90 degree elbows. Do not install two
elbows together. Make sure there is a minimum of 457 mm
(18 in) of straight duct between the elbows if more than one
elbow is used.
7. If you must elbow right away, do it as far away from the range
hood’s exhaust opening as possible.
8. Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and use duct
tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
9. Do not use 102 mm (4 in) laundry type wall caps.
10. The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap
has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range
hood.
11. Use caulking to seal the exterior wall or roof opening around
the cap.
CABINET PREPARATION
WARNING: Do not install closer than 457 mm (18 in)
above the cooking surface.
This product is designed for under cabinet installation.
1. Put a protective covering over your counter top, cook top and
range to protect it from damage and dirt.
2. Check your ceiling height (1), countertop height (2), cabinet
height (3) and range hood height (4) before you install your
range hood.
The distance from the floor to the cooking surface (2) must be
around 914 mm (36 in).
The hood installation height (4) above the cook top can vary
slightly. A lower hood ensures more effective capture of cooking
odors, grease and smoke. However, the hood should be installed
a minimum of 457 mm (18 in) and a maximum 762 mm (30 in)
above the range top.
3. Screws are provided to secure the range hood to most types of
cabinets. You should consult a qualified installer to verify that
the supplied screws are suitable for your cabinets.
4. Determine the venting method (top venting or back venting).
Ensure that the openings in the cabinet or wall for the damper
and for power access are in appropriate locations and are of
appropriate sizes, as described below.

FILTER REPLACEMENTS
Should filters wear out due to age or prolonged use, replace with an aluminum grease filter (with stainless steel clips).
NOTE: Also replace a damaged filter that has punctures or a
bent or broken frame.
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
WARNING: Make sure light bulbs are cool. Light bulbs can
become extremely hot when turned on. Do not touch bulb until
switched off and cooled. Touching hot bulbs could cause serious
burns.
NOTE: If new lights do not operate, make sure the light bulb is
inserted correctly.
Should the light bulb burn out due to age or prolonged use:
1. Turn bulb counter-clockwise to remove it.
2. Insert a new GU10, twist and lock light bulb base (MAX. 35W/JDR 16)
and turn clockwise to install the light bulb. Do not release the bulb

Troubleshooting
DANGER: Turn off the power circuit breaker or the power
switch on the junction box before performing maintenance.
Touching circuitry inside the range hood while it is energized will
result in death or serious injury.
Problem Solution
The range hood does not operate after installation. □Check if all power has been turned back on and all electrical
wiring is properly connected.
□Check that the power connection for the unit is properly
connected.
□Make sure the wiring between the switch board and control
board are connected properly.
The range hood vibrates when the blower is on. □The range hood might not have been secured properly to the
wall.
□Check if the motor is secured in place. If not, then tighten the
motor in place.
□Check if there is a damaged blower wheel. If so, change the
blower wheel.
The blowers seem weak. □Check that the duct size used is at least 152 mm (6 in). The
range hood WILL NOT function efficiently with insufficient duct
size.
□Check if duct is clogged or if damper unit is not opening
properly.
□A tight mesh on a side wall cap unit might also restrict air flow.
The lights work but the blower is not spinning, is stuck or is rattling. □This range hood has a thermally protected system for the motor,
which will shit down automatically if the motor is overheated. If
the overheat protection trips, disconnect the power and wait for
20 minutes until the motor cools down.
□The blower might be jammed or scraping the bottom.
□The motor is defective, possibly seized. Change the motor.
The range hood is not venting properly. □Make sure the distance between the cook top and the bottom of
the hood is between 460 mm (18 in) for electric ranges and 750
mm (29.5 in) for gas ranges.
□Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct work. Check if
all joints are properly connected, sealed and taped.
□Make sure the power is on high speed for heavy cooking.
□Wind from opened windows or doors in the surrounding area
are affecting the ventilation of the hood. Close all windows and
doors to eliminate the outside air flow.
□Check if the direction of duct opening is against the wind. If so,
adjust the direction of the duct opening.
□Check if the wrong size ducts are being used.
The light does not work. □Check to see if light bulb is loose. If do, tighten it.
□Remove the problem bulb and insert one you know is working.
If the properly functioning light does not come on, the problem
may be the light assembly. Service or replace the light
assembly.
