InstallationInstallation
Minimum mount height between range top to hood
bottom should be no less than 28”
Maximum mount height should be no higher than
36”.
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could
result in heat damage and fi re hazard; while hoods
mounted too high will be hard to reach and will
lose its performance and effi ciency.
If available, also refer range manufacturer’s height
clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range. Always check your
local codes for any differences.
DUCTING
A minimum of 6” round or 3-1/4”x10” rectangular
duct must be used to maintain maximum air flow
efficiency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible
ducts could restrict air fl ow by up to 50%.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or
transitions and turns. If long duct run is required,
increase duct size from 6” to 7” or 8”.
If turns or transitions are required; install as far
away from opening and as far apart, between 2,
as possible.
- Mounting Height & Clearance
Minimum Mounting Height (Ducted)
8’. Hood mounted 28” above cooking surface;
64” from floor.
Minimum Mounting Height (Recirculating)
8’4”. Hood mounted 28” above cooking surface;
64” from floor.
Maxmimum Mounting Height
10’3”. Hood mounted 36” above cooking surface;
72” from floor.
Duct cover extension kit available for ceiling
heights up to 14 feet.

WARNING FIRE HAZARD
NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics
or garages.
All exhaust must be ducted to the outsid, unless using the recirculating option.
Use single wall rigid Metal ductwork only.
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.

- Mounting the Range Hood
CAUTION: At least two installers are
required due to the weight and size of the
hood.
1. Measure from range top to hood bottom and mark line A.
(28”minimum from range top)
2. Plum and mark center line.
3. Mark mounting height line B. (10-3/8”from line A)
4. EVL series - Mark mounting spread from C/L on line B. (4”)
ESQ/ESL series - Mark mounting height line B. (8”)
EFL series -Mark mounting height line B. ( 15-3/8”)
5. Fasten (2) M4x1-1/4” screws into studs on line B. Do not
fasten screws all the way. note: wood blocking may
need to be added behind the drywall if no studs are
present. Wall anchors may also be used, check local
codes before using wall anchors.
6. Hang hood onto screws and hand tighten. (Fig.A) Use
the last M4x1-1/4”screw to further secure the hood to
the wall from inside the hood.
7.Center and attach duct cover bracket to wall below
ceiling or soffit using (2) M4x1” screws.
8.Install electrical.
9.*Install duct work and duct tape.
10.Power up hood and check for leaks around duct tape.
11.Place telescopic duct covers onto hood and extend
inner (top) duct cover upwards and secure to duct cover
bracket using (2) M4x3/8” screws.
*if using hood in recirculating mode you must secure air
diverter plate onto wall before installing duct work and
duct covers. Turn to page 9 for more details.

WARNING: Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable codes and standards. This range hood must be
properly grounded. Turn off electrical power at service entrance before wiring.
Cable Lock
A cable locking connector (not supplied) might
be required by local codes. Check with local
requirements and codes, purchase and install
appropriate connector if necessary.

InstallationInstallation
Ductless recirculating is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be
installed.When converted, the hood functions as a recirculating hood rather than an exhaust hood. Fumes
and exhaust from cooking are drawn and fi ltered by a set of optional charcoal fi lters. The air is then
purified and recirculated back within the home.
We recommend to ALWAYS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing new duct
work, if possible. The hood is most effective and effi cient as an exhaust hood. Only when the exhaust
option is not possible should you recourse to converting the hood into a recirculating hood.
When converted to be a recirculating hood, a set of charcoal fi lters are required on top of its standard
Metal Filter set. The standard Metal Filters are intended to
capture residue from cooking and the optional charcoal fi lters help to purify fumes exhausted from
cooking for recirculation.

SURFACE MAINTENANCE:
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergent ,
or steel wool/scouring pads which will scratch and damage surface.
For heavier soil use liquid degreaser.
After cleaning it is recommended that you use non-abrasive stainless steel polish/cleaners, to polish and
buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain.
Do not use any product containing chlorine bleach. Do not use “orange” cleaners.
Metal Mesh Filters
The metal mesh filters installed by the factory are intended to fi lter out residue and grease from cooking.
They need not be replaced on a regular basis but are required to be kept clean.
Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use or once a month.
Remove and clean by hand or in dishwasher on low heat. Spray degreasing detergent and leave to soak if
heavily soiled.
Dry fi lters and re-install before using hood.
Removing Metal Mesh Filters
1. Push in on spring loaded handle
2. Pull down on fi lter hande to remove filter
Metal Mesh Filter Dimensions:

REPLACING LIGHT BULBS
CAUTION: Light bulb becomes extremely hot when turned on.
DO NOT touch bulb until switched off and cooled. Touching hot bulbs could cause serious burns.
Make sure all power is turned off and bulbs are not hot.
Remove by turning bulb counter clockwise. Note: Bulb does not unscrew; it turns 60 degrees,
stops and falls out.
If bulbs are diffi cult to turn due to prolonged use, fi rmly attach a glass suction cup
approximately the diameter of the bulb or use a rubber/latex glove and turn counter clockwise.
Replacement bulbs are available at specialty lighting stores. Purchase type
Mr16 (GU-10) 35W halogen.
