CHARACTERISTICS
The range hood is designed for a designer kitchen with the range hood installed directly above cooking
appliances against a wall. This hood is a focus point and showpiece in your kitchen and at the same
time, it provides you with the benefit of extracting the grease and smoke from your cooking.
Please refer to the instructions below.
INSTALLATION & USE
NOTE: remove protective film (if any) from the exterior surfaces of the hood carefully prior to final
installation.
DESCRIPTION / CONNECTION
This range hood should be mounted directly to the support frame mounting, where the support frame
flue is secured to the ceiling joist or framework.
WARNING
1.1. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK
2.2. GROUNDING INSTRUCTION
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing 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.

LOCATION PREPARATION
The installation in this manual is intended for qualified installers, service technicians or persons with a similar
qualified background. DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could result from installing the unit
due tolack of appropriate electrical and technical background.
All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded. Accumulated excess grease in old duct
work should be cleaned out or duct work should be replaced if necessary to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.
Check all joints on duct work to ensure proper connection, and all joints should be properly taped.
Note 1:Onstainless steel hoods, carefully remove the protective plastic film from all exterior surfaces of the
hood and chimney prior tofinal installation.
Note 2:At least two people will be required to mount the hood.
MOUNT HEIGHTS &CLEARANCE
Ductwork can be installed vertically orhorizontally.
Duct runs should be as short as possible.
Avoid the use of elbows.
Use duct tape at all joints.
Do not use duct smaller than the discharge on the hood.
Minimum mounting height between range top to hood
bottom should be no less than 25”
Maximum mounting height should be no higher than
30”
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result
in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods
mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose
its performance and efficiency.
If available, also refer to the range manufacturer’s
height clearance requirements and recommended
hood mounting height above range.
*Maximum ceiling clearance 106.5” at 27.5” hood
mounting height from stove (different models may
vary)
** For higher ceiling, extension of the chimney
extension and the decorative cover are available to
purchase, if required.
Ductwork
4

NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or garages.
All exhausts must be ducted to the outside.
Use metal ductwork only.
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct
Tape.
Duct Run Calculation:
Maximum run 6” or 3-1/4 x 10” duct 100FT
Deduct:
each 90 Elbow used 15FT
each 45 Elbow used 9FT
each 6” to 3-1/4 x 10” 1FT
transition used
each 3-1/4 x 10” to 6” 5FT
transition used
Side Wall Cap w/ damper 30FT
Roof Cap 30FT
e.g. – 1 roof cap, 2x90 elbows, 1x45 elbow
= 30’ + 30’ + 9’=69’ used,
31’ available for straight duct runs
DUCT SIZE
A minimum of 6” round duct must be used to
maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
Flexible ducts are provided for convenience, always
use rigid type metal ducts if available to maximize
airflow.
Also use calculation (on left) to calculate total
available duct run when using elbows, transitions
and caps.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number of
transitions and turns. If required for a long duct,
increase duct size from 6” to 7 or 8”.
If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of
pancake reducer. Reduce duct size as far away from
opening as possible.
If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away
from opening and as far apart between pieces as
possible.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Surface Maintenance:
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergent (e.g. comet
powder scrub, EZ-Off oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads which will scratch and damage surface.
For heavier soil use liquid degreaser such as ‘Formula 409’ or ‘Fantastic’ brand cleaner.
After cleaning, you may use non-abrasive stainless-steel polish/cleaners 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
Filters:
The Filters fitted by the factory are intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking. They do not need to be
replaced on a regular basis but must be kept clean.
Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use.
Remove and clean by hand in a container of hot soapy water. The filter is also dishwasher safe.
If heavily soiled, spray ‘Formula 409’ or equivalent degreasing detergent and leave to soak.
Dry and re-install filters before using hood.
Hood Cleaning
The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and filters may cause increased flammability. always
Keep unit clean and free of grease and residue build-up to prevent possible fires.
Filters must be cleaned periodically and kept free from accumulation of cooking residue (see cleaning
instructions inside). Old and worn filters must be replaced immediately. Do not operate blowers when
filters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper instructions. It is recommended
that disassembly be performed by qualified personnel only. Call our service center for removal
instructions.
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.
* Rinse with clean water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.
* For persistent discoloration or deposits that persist, use a non-abrasive household cleanser or
stainless-steel polishing powder with a little amount of water and a soft cloth.
* For stubborn stains, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush with a cleanser and water. Rub
lightly in the direction of the polishing lines or the “grain” of the stainless finish. Avoid using too much
pressure as this may mark the surface.
* Do not allow deposits to remain on the surface 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 compounds contain chemicals that may be
12

harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
* Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
