•Vent system must terminate to the outside
(roof or side wall).
•DO NOT terminate the vent system in an
attic or other enclosed area.
•DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall
caps.
•Use metal/aluminum ducting only. Rigid
metal/aluminum ducting is recommended.
•Always keep the duct clean to ensure
proper airflow.
•Calculate the following figures before
installation:
1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
*(less than 108").
2. Distance between the floor to the
countertop/stove. (Recommend* 28” to
about 36”).
3. Distance between the countertop/stove
to the range hood. (Recommended 28"
to ~31").
Height of range hood body and chimney
covers combined.
•A distance of 28” to 31” is recommended
between stove top and the bottom of
range hood.
•28" is the lowest recommended for safe
operation; 31" is only recommended for
efficient operation, but can be mounted
higher.
•It is recommended that the range hood
be vented vertically through the roof
through 6” (15.24 cm) or larger round
metal/aluminum vent work.
•The size of the vent should be uniform.
•Use no more than three 90° elbows.
•For best results, attempt to make a
minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight vent
between the elbows if more than one
elbow is used.
•DO NOT install two elbows together.
•The length of vent system and number of
elbows should be kept to a minimum to
provide efficient performance.
•The vent system must have a damper.
If roof or wall cap already has a damper,
DO NOT use the supplied damper
(if applicable).
For the most efficient & quiet operation:

•A minimum of 6” round (standard for this range hood) or 3 ¼” x 10” rectangular duct
(not supplied) must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
•ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If long duct run is
required, increase duct size. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake
reducer. Any reductions of duct size will restrict and decrease airflow; to maximize airflow
flow efficiency place any reducers furthest away from any bends or transitions.
•If turns or transitions are required, install them as evenly distanced as possible, and as far
away from the range hood as possible.
•Please use the Duct Size Upgrade Calculator below to compute the total available duct run
when using elbows, transitions and caps.
•It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low
are considered unsafe and could result in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods
mounted too high are harder to reach and will lose general effectiveness.
•Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 28“. Any
less is considered unsafe and not recommended.
•Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom can be higher than 31 inch*, but
it is not recommended due to the loss in efficiency.
•If available, refer to your stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and
recommended hood mounting height above range.
* Due to different ceiling height configurations, recommended height may not be applicable.
Minimum Duct Size:
•Round - 6” minimum.
•Rectangular - 3 ¼” x 10” minimum (requires an 6” to 3 ¼” x 10” adapter, not supplied)
IMPORTANT:

Height & Clearance
Duct Size Upgrade Calculator
•Minimum duct size recommended is 6” round (or 3 ¼” x 10” rectangular). Maximum duct
length recommend is 50 ft. Any duct length over 50 ft is recommended to use a larger
diameter duct size.
•Survey the installation application and record the estimated length of ducting required or
used for that application. Record the number of bends, angle of bends, and/or any
transitional pieces used. Each bend or transition will reduce air flow and reduce the
recommended duct length.
Duct Deduction Calculation Example:(1)
90° bend, (1) 3¼” x 10” transition, (2) 45°
bends, (1) sidewall cap with damper (with
factory damper not installed)
-9ft + -7ft + -5ft + -5ft + -1ft = -27ft
Deduct 27 ft from 50 ft, giving you 23 ft of
available straight ducting before it is
recommended to upgrade your ducting size.

•This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
•Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90°
elbow is needed.
•NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces,
ceiling, attics or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
•Use metal/aluminum duct work only.
•Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with aluminum foil
tape or equivalent.
•Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

Preparation
NOTE: To avoid damage to your hood, prevent debris from entering the vent opening.
Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside. Refer to Venting
Methods on page 7.
•A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform more efficiently.
•Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long run as possible. This may reduce the
performance of the hood.
•Use aluminum foil tape to seal joints between pipe sections.
•For installing under the cabinet with recessed bottom, attach 4-inch wide wood filler
strips (not provided) on each side. Refer to Figure 1.
•Using references in Hood Dimensions drawing on Page 14, create access opening for
electrical wires and hood exhaust under the cabinet.
CAUTION: If moving the cooking range is necessary to install the hood, turn OFF the
power on of an electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE
MOVING A GAS RANGE.
•Puncture the knockout holes (for mounting under the cabinet) on the hood as shown
in Figure 2.
•If necessary, attach two rubber pads with 3M adhesive tapes to the back corners of
the hood to reduce noise and vibration.
Figure 1 Figure 2
There are three ways to vent the hood exhaust:
1. Vertically through the top of the hood using the round 6” transition
adapter.
2. Vertically through the top of the hood using the 3.25" x 10" transition
adapter.
3. Horizontally through the back of the hood using the 3.25" x 10"
transition adapter.
Determine your preferred exhaust method, mount the appropriate
adapter on the hood, and decide the location of the venting pipe from the
hood to the outside. Refer to Venting Methods on page 7.

Measure the distance between stove top and the bottom of range hood. A distance of 27" to
30" is recommended*.
* Due to difference ceiling height configurations, recommended height may not applicable.
Note: Except for the connection of the ducting, the installation is very similar whether the
hood is vented from the top of the hood or back of the hood, and/or, whether the exhaust
vents out through the wall or the roof.
Note: Mounting the hood on wall studs is highly recommended.
1. Use the references in Height & Clearance on Page 5 and Measurements and Diagrams
on Page 14 to determine the location of the hood installation.
If mounting underneath the cabinet, center the hood beneath the cabinet and flush with
the front of the cabinet.
If mounting to the wall, place centered on the cabinet and flush to the wall. Ensure
venting transitions and ducts are aligned with the transition adaptor.
2. Draw electrical wires through cabinet access opening and center the hood beneath the
cabinet.
3. From inside of the hood, place screws into the center of each knockout hole and secure
to cabinet bottom and/or to the wall.
4. If venting is to be done vertically, connect and secure the 6’’ round metal duct
5. Finish tightening all screws until secure. Be careful when using power tools as damage
to the range hood may occur.
6. For safety purposes, pre-drilled mounting holes are provided through the back of the
hood. For a more secure installation, use as many mounting holes as needed to secure
from the inside of hood.
7. Use the appropriate metal ducting (and/or follow the building codes in your area) to
connect the exhaust on the hood to the ductwork. If the pipe used is smaller than 6", it
will reduce the airflow and put back pressure on the motor causing excessive wear and
tear. We cannot provide warranty service on a range hood that has not been installed
following our recommendations.
8. Use aluminum foil tape to make all joints secure and air tight.
SAFETY WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. This range hood must be properly
grounded. Make sure this is done by a qualified technician in accordance with all
applicable national and local electrical codes. Before connecting the wires, switch
power OFF at the service panel and lock the service panel to prevent power from
being switched ON accidentally.

Troubleshooting
If the range hood or light
does not operate after
installation:
•Check if the range hood has been plugged in, make
sure that all power has been turned back ON, and
all electrical wiring are properly connected.
•Replace the light bulbs to determine whether it is
caused by defective bulbs. See Replacing the light
bulbs on Page 19.
The suction or fan seems
weak:
•Check that the duct sized used is at least 6” or 3 ¼”
x 10”. Range hood WILL NOT function efficiently
with insufficient duct size. For example: 7” duct
over 6” hole and loosely secured.
•Check if duct is clogged or if damper unit
(half-circular flapper) is not installed correctly or
opening properly. A tight mesh on a side wall cap
unit might also cause restriction to the air flow.
The hood is not venting
smoke efficiently:
•Make sure the distance between the stove top and
the bottom of the hood is within 28” and 31” in
distance. *Due to different ceiling height
configurations, recommended height may not be
applicable.
•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.
The range hood vibrates
when the suction is on:
•The range hood might not have been secured
properly on to the ceiling or wall. Check with your
installer
The lights work but the
motor is not spinning, is
stuck or is rattling.
•The blower might be jammed or scraping the
bottom due to shipping damage. Please contact
us immediately.

* Subject to change without notice
•Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual before operating the
appliance. Save these instructions for future reference.
•Always leave safety grills and filters in place. Without these components, operating
blowers could catch on to hair, fingers and loose clothing.
•NEVER dispose cigarette ashes, ignitable substances, or any foreign objects into blowers.
•NEVER leave cooking unattended. When frying, oil in the pan can easily overheat and
catch fire. The risk of self combustion is higher when the oil has been used several times.
•NEVER cook using “open” flames under the range hood. Check deep-fryers during use:
Superheated oil may be flammable.
•The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and filters may cause increased
inflammability. Keep unit clean and free of grease and residue build-up at all times to
prevent possible fires.
•Filters must be cleaned periodically and free from accumulation of cooking residue (see
Cleaning Instructions on Page 19). Old and worn filters must be replaced immediately.
•DO NOT operate blowers when filters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean
without proper instructions. Disassembly is recommended to be performed by qualified
personnel only. Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual before
proceeding.

Use and Care Information
Electric Schematic

•Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. DO NOT use corrosive or
abrasive detergent (e.g. Comet Power Scruv®, EZ-Off® oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring
pads, which will scratch and damage the stainless steel surface. For heavier soil use liquid
degrease such as “Formula 409®” or “Fantastic®” brand cleaaner.
•If the finish looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the
surface of the hood. Use a dry soft towel to dry the hood. CAUTION: Do not leave the
cleaning solution on the surface too long as this may damage the finish. Avoid getting
cleaning solutions into or onto the control panel, electrical components, wires or wired
plugs.
•Always wipe/clean/polish in the same direction as the brushed stainless steel finish. Never
wipe against the grain.
•After cleaning, you may use non abrasive stainless steel polish such as 3M® or ZEP®, to
polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton
cloth, and with the grain.
•DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood, as they will become harder to
clean, and may cause scratching of the finish.
•DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the
surface and cause rusting.
•DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in
contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many compounds contain chemicals,
which may be damaging. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
•The metal filters are intended to help filter grease, residue and moisture from cooking. They
are required to be kept clean for performance and safety concerns, and may require
replacement if neglected.
•Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use or sooner depending on usage
conditions.
•Remove and clean by hand or dishwasher. NOTE: Some newer dish detergents may cause
marking or blackening of aluminum metals, such as the mesh aluminum filters. Spray
“Formula 409®” or equivalent degreasing detergent and allow to soak if heavily soiled.
Rinse with warm water, allow the filters to dry and then and re-install before using hood.
•Should filters wear out due to age and prolonged use, please contact CaloricTM for
replacement filters. Consider preemptively purchasing an extra set of filters to store on
hand.
•Note: Replace damaged filters that have been punctured, bent or broken.
SAFETY WARNING: Never put your hand into area housing the fan while the fan is operating!
For optimal operation, clean range hood and all baffle/spacer/filter regularly. Regular care will
help preserve the appearance of the range hood.
