These range hood inserts are designed for general ventilating use only. use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials and vapors.
The combustion air flow needed for safe operation of fuel-burning equipment may be
operation. Follow the such as published by the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
Before installation, servicing or cleaning the unit, switch OFF the power at the service panel and lock the service
panel to prevent power from being switched ON accidentally.
Ducted fans always be vented outside. vent exhaust into spaces between walls, crawl spaces,
ceiling, attics, or garages.
Use only metal smooth ductwork and smooth gradual turn elbows. use flexible ductwork or sharp
angle turn elbows.
Sufficient air is needed for the proper exhausting of gases through the duct to prevent back drafting.
ASHRAE residential ventilation standard 62.2 limits exhaust fans (total) to a maximum of 15 CFM per 100
square feet of living space, unless a back drafting test is performed or make up air is provided. Consult a local
HVAC engineer for make up air evaluation.
When cutting into the wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.
All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded using UL approved accessories by a
licensed electrician.
The range hood insert be grounded using the green wire of the supply.
Check all joints on ductwork to ensure proper connection and all joints should be taped with silver tape.

Use this unit only in the manner intended by manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the dealer.
Always turn the range hood ON 5 minutes before cooking to begin the flow of air.
Clean ventilation filters frequently.

your dealer with any questions.

Each box contains the following items.
Refer to HANDLING AND INSPECTION (page 8) for important information before removing items from
the box.
1 Ziplock bag containing:

Remove all rings, watches, belt buckles, jewelry, and clothing with metal buttons or snaps to prevent
damage to range hood insert.
Use the cotton gloves provided when handling the range hood insert to prevent scratches and to aid grip.
Once the installation area is prepared and you are ready to commence installation, remove the range hood insert
from its carton and place it on a clean, soft blanket.
remove the range hood insert from its carton until you are ready to install it.
Inspect the range hood insert carefully for any damage or imperfections before you begin the installation. If any
damage or imperfects are discovered, return the range hood insert to its carton and call your dealer
IMMEDIATELY. Do not install a damaged range hood insert.
remove permanently affixed labels, warnings, or plates from the product. This may void
the warranty.
Locate the filters which will be packed separately.

Venting systems can terminate either through the wall or roof (see FIGURE 1). To vent through a wall a 90-degree elbow
is required for top-ducted range hoods.
Ensure the following principles when designing and installing ductwork (refer to FIGURE 2, page 11):
exhaust the ductwork to the outside. terminate or exhaust ductwork into spaces between
walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics, soffits, or garages.
Use metal / aluminum ductwork only.
For the 600 CFM exhaust blower system a minimum of a 6-inch diameter duct system must be installed.
For the 1200 CFM exhaust blower system a minimum of a 10-inch diameter duct system must be installed.
Ensure the opening of the damper is equivalent to the open area of the duct.
If a long duct run is required, increase the duct size.
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Sliver Tape.
Use caulking to seal external wall or roof opening around cap.

Reduce turns or transitions to a maximum of two if possible (or use the lowest number possible). Install them as
far as possible from the opening and as far apart as possible from each other.
Limit the calculated length of the duct system to 50 feet.
The calculated length is determined as follows:
1ft of straight duct = 1ft
90-degree elbow = 9ft
45-degree elbow = 5ft
Caps = 0ft (do not contribute to the calculated length of the system)
For example, if a duct system has 25ft of straight duct, two 90 degree elbows, one 45 degree elbow
and one roof cap, the calculated length of the duct system would be: 25ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft + 0ft =
48ft.

In ductless system installations, the hood insert provides a purification function instead of exhausting as in the ducted
hood system. Fumes and exhaust from cooking is drawn and filtered by a set of charcoal filters. The air is purified and re-
circulated back into the room.
The design incorporates a set of charcoal filters and an air-diverter in addition to the standard aluminum filter sets that
exist in the vented hood system. The standard stainless filters are intended to capture residue from the cooking, the
charcoal filters help to purify the fumes exhausted from the cooking, and the air-diverter redirects the filtered clean air
back into the room.

Put a thick, protective covering over the countertop/cooking surface to protect it from damage or dirt.
Remove any hazardous objects from the work area.
Verify that the insert cut-out is properly dimensioned under your cabinet or hood structure (SEE FIGURE 3)

Verify the proper mounting height of the range hood insert (SEE FIGURE 4).
The recommended heigh
the cooking surface, the hood
capture of heat and grease.

Locate the electrical power inlet hole on the side of the range hood insert (SEE FIGURE 5).
Disconnect the main electric power, prepare and run a 115 volt, 15 amp electrical cable to the rang
mounting location.
Electrical wiring must be performed by qualified professionals and in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire rated construction.
Mark the location of the duct entrance in the ceiling or wall. Use a drill and saber saw or keyhole saw to cut the
opening for the duct.
Install the ductwork from the ceiling or wall to the exterior of the house.
Refer to the ductwork requirements listed in VENTING METHODS, page 9.
