INSTALL BACKSPLASH (OPTIONAL)
If optional backsplash is used, attach it to the
finished wall. Secure hood mounting bracket
to the backsplash and omit wall framing
described below.
INSTALL MOUNTING
BRACKET
1. Construct wood wall framing that is flush
with interior surface of wall studs.
Make sure:
a) the framing is centered over installation location.
b) the height of the framing will allow the mounting bracket to be secured to the
framing within the dimensions shown.
2. Afterwallsurfaceisfinished,securemountingbrackettoframingusingdimensions
shown.
INSTALL THE HOOD
1. Hang the hood from the bracket through the rectangular cut-out on the back of
the hood. Cut-out is
larger than the bracket to
allow for horizontal
adjustment.Thebottomof
the hood should be 24"
to 30" above the cooking
surface.
2. Height adjustment
screws provide vertical
adjustment.
3. Secure the hood with
additional mounting
screws. Use drywall
anchors, provided, if wall
studs or framing are not
available.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run
between the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood
to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will
reduce the performance of the hood. Use
as few of them as possible.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect 6" round
metal ductwork to cap and work back to-
wards hood location. Use duct tape to seal
the joints between ductwork sections.

WIRING
Note: This range hood must be properly
grounded.The unit should be installed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with all
applicable national and local electrical
codes.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reducestheriskofelectricshockbyproviding
an escape wire for the electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
Set the electrical power supply within the space covered by the decorative flues.
Position the power socket at a maximum distance of 33-7/16” (850 mm) from where
the lead exits from the hood (see illustration alongside). Make sure this does not
interfere with the bracket fastening area or with the decorative pipe (where the flue
touches the wall).
Fit the plug into the power socket.
CONNECT DUCTWORK
Adjust the width of the flue mounting bracket using screws (A) indicated in Figure.
Use screws (B) and wall anchors to secure flue mounting bracket to the ceiling as
shown.

MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will
assure proper performance of the unit.
Grease Filter
The grease filter should be cleaned fre-
quently. Use a warm detergent solution.

back of hood and rotating filter downward.
Ductfree Filters

HoodCleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help
preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
• Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
• Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to
avoid water marks.
• Fordiscolorationsordepositsthatpersist,useanon-scratchinghouseholdcleanser
or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
• For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with
cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the
stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar the surface.
•DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
•DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere
to the surface causing rust.
•DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to
remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these com-
pounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after expo-
sure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
