Familiarize yourself with the controls of the range hood by
reading through Range Hood Operations, Page 10.
Place the range hood on a flat, stable surface. Connect the
range hood to a designated standard outlet (please refer
the product label for the suitable voltage of this unit) and
turn on the range hood. Verify all operations of the range
hood by referring to Range Hood Operations, Page 10.
Place all supplied parts and required hardware on a flat, stable surface and verify the
presence of all supplied parts listed on Page 4.
Carefully remove the white plastic protective coat from the chimney covers and range hood.
NOTE: To avoid damage to your hood, prevent debris from entering the vent opening.
Determine and mark the center line on the ceiling where the range hood will be installed.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Due to the weight and size of this unit, please make sure that the support system or
framework being used is stable and secure in the wall or ceiling.
Put a thick, protective covering over counter top, cook top or range to protect from damage
or dirt. Remove any hazardous objects around the area when installing.
Mark the locations of the support mounting bracket holes, ducting cutout (if used) and
power supply cable cutout on the ceiling. Use drill and saber saw or keyhole saw to cut
openings for power supply cable and ducting (see Venting requirements and Electrical
requirements, Pages 5).
If venting to the outside install vent system (see Venting Methods, Page 6). Use caulking to
seal exterior wall or roof openings.
Disconnect main electrical supply, prepare and run electrical wiring through ceiling or wall.
Install a power outlet within reaching distance of the range hood assembly. DO NOT restore
power until installation is completed.
Disconnect power cord, remove the aluminum filter by pressing on the latch toward the
direction of solid arrow while holding the metal handle, gently pull the aluminum filter toward
the direction of dashed arrow as shown in Figure 1.
Remove the grease cup by sliding it sideway, see Figure 2 for location of the grease cup.
Set aside the aluminum filters and grease cup until the range hood is properly installed.
If the range hood comes with a glass canopy and has not already been mounted to the hood,
loosen the four canopy screws and washers from the hood top, carefully place the canopy on
the hood top, and loosely tighten the four canopy screws along with washers. DO NOT put
excessive pressure against the glass.

Installation
Installations (refer to Page 4 for parts identification):
Measure the distance between the stove top and the bottom surface of your cabinet,
installation structure or mounting surface; also measure the height of the range hood; deduct
those measurements to calculate the distance between the stove top surface and the bottom
surface of the range hood. A distance of 27” to 30” is recommended. Anything below this
minimum recommended height is not recommended and may damage the range hood.
However, due to different installation configurations, the recommended maximum height
may be optional.
1) Determine the venting direction for your application.
There are two ways to vent this range hood; use the references in “Venting Methods” section
(Page 6) to help determine your venting preference: a) Top Venting b) Back Venting
2) Identify the vent to be opened; if multiple people are working on a project, mark the vent
to be opened.
Only use one (1) vent direction at a time. (If a vent direction is opened by mistake, reseal it
and ensure your seal will not come lose.)
3) Remove one of the Vent Plates.
Temporarily secure the range hood on an impact resistant flat surface, using multiple layers
of moving blanket or similar padding underneath the range hood to protect the finish. Using
a flat-bladed screwdriver and a light hammer, align the bladed-tip of the screwdriver into the
corner of the vent plate to be removed, on the inside of the seam, and then moderately tap
the backside of the screwdriver until the plate has bent away from the range hood body –
DO NOT hammer the screwdriver deep into the range hood body, (no more than about
1/2-inch) as it may damage the internal fan blades of the range hood; continue this process
around the outline of the vent plate, removing it from the range hood body; use a
combination of impacting and prying with the screwdriver or multiple tools to help remove
the selected vent plate. If the immediate area around the vent plate is slightly deformed, it is

not critical to its function; however, any major deformations may impede the fan blade
function, and should be bent back using a screwdriver, pliers or other tools.
4) Mark the mounting references.
Test fit the range hood body onto its mounting surface; ensure the range hood is aligned;
mark all screw mounting holes (mark the entire shape of the hole/keyhole), the perimeter of
the range hood body, the location of the duct vent, and the location of the power cord.

Pg 9
Installation (Continued)
5) Assemble the vent adaptor onto the range hood.
Mount the vent adaptor and draft damper to the range hood body using the 10mm length
screws. Use certified duct tape or other certified duct sealant to seal the vent adaptor and the
range hood by taping over the mounting screws, alongside the flange of the vent adaptor, or
sealing in between the 2 parts. (If already using a vent damper on your ducting, wall cap or
roof cap, remove the draft damper from this vent adaptor. Do not use 2 draft dampers on the
same line of ducting.)
6) Check your mounting references and then cut your vent and power cord holes.
Reposition the range hood in its installation location to ensure the newly installed vent
adaptor will clear your markings. After confirming your markings proceed to cut out the holes
to make clearance for the vent duct and power cord.
7) Partially install mounting screws for the keyhole mounting hole locations.
For the most accuracy, center-punch or stake your hole locations before predrilling you holes.
Do not drill the holes too large for the mounting screws to seat. Predrill the mounting holes,
and then partially screw 2 mounting screws in the keyhole locations, at opposite corners of
each other, leaving approximately 1/4-inch of space so you can align the range hood keyhole
mount holes onto those screws and then temporarily hang the range hood onto those screws.
8) Hang the range hood onto the mounting screws and run the power cord.
Additional help during this step is highly recommended. Position the range hood near the
mounting location, and then run the power cord through its relief hole, (DO NOT plug in the
power cord) and then align the 2 mounting screws with the keyhole mounting holes on the
range hood; insert the range hood onto the mounting screws using the keyhole shaped
mounting holes; hold pressure onto the range hood to ensure it does not dismount or fall;
tighten the mounting screws so that the range hood is safe to release. Adjust the position of
the range hood to your preference, and then proceed to screw in the remainder of the
mounting screws to fully secure the range hood using the standard circle-shaped mounting
holes. A total of 4 mounting screws, one in each corner, are the absolute minimum to
mounting this range hood securely. Additional screws placed through the sheet metal is
acceptable; do not drill or screw into any wires, cables, components or any critical fixtures.
It is recommended to function test the range hood at this point, to ensure there are not
screws or hardware that are impeding the function of the blower; however, you must be sure
there is no power supplied or connected when you continue to work on the range hood.
9) Attach the household ducting to the duct adaptor and range hood.
Ensure the range hood is unplugged and the power line is off. Attach your household ducting
to the range hood using the least amount of bends or transitions as possible. If ducting bends
or duct transitions are used, place each bend or transition as far apart as possible. Use
certified duct sealant, tape or adhesive.
10) Confirm your installation, alignment, screws, ductwork, sealant, accessories, and then
preform a function test.
Check your installation, its alignment, screw tension of all screws, duct work and sealant.
Remove any finish protection and then install the baffle filters. If all the above are good, plug
in the range hood and then turn on power to the line, and then proceed to perform another
function test. Use stainless steel cleaner and a soft cloth to clean any dust or finger prints from
range hood. Always wipe with the grain of the brushed stainless steel; never wipe across the
grain of the brushed stainless steel finish.
