lock, secure a warning label, such as a tag, to the service
panel.
■ Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a
qualified professional(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes, standards, and fire-rated constructions.
■ Do not operate any fans with a damaged cord or plug.
Discard the fan or return to an authorized service
facility for further examination and/or repair.
■ To prevent back draft, sufficient air is needed for
proper combustion. Gas from fuel burning equipment
needs to exhaust through the flue (chimney). Follow the
heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety
standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society
for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
■ When cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings; be aware of
electrical wires, piping, and other utilities.
■ Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.
CAUTION: For general ventilation use only. Do not use
to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside - DO NOT vent
exhaust air into attics, crawl spaces, garages, or within
walls and ceilings.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE, READ THE FOLLOWING:
■ Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boil-over can cause smoke and grease to spill over that
may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
■ Always turn the hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
■ Clean ventilation fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
■ Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY. IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, READ
THE FOLLOWING:
■ SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet, or
metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO
PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately,
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
■ NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.
■ DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels -
a violent steam explosion will result.
■ Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
–You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to operate it.
–The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
–The fire department is being called.
–You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
■ Range hoods must be ventilated to the
outdoors, except for non-vented
(recirculating) installations.
■ Do not ventilate the range hood into an
attic or other enclosed areas.
■ Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall
caps.
■The length of the range hood and the
number of elbows should be kept to a
minimum to provide maximum performance.
For the most efficient and
quiet operation
■Use no more than three 90° elbows.
■Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61
cm) of straight duct between the elbows if
more than one elbow is used.
■Do not install two elbows together.
■Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent
system.
■The vent system must have a damper. If
the roof or wall cap has a damper, do not
use the damper supplied with the range
hood.
■Use caulking to seal exterior walls or roof
openings around the cap.
■The size of the vents should be uniform.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be
installed to minimize backward cold air flow.
A thermal break should be installed to
minimize conduction of outside temper-
atures as part of the vent system. The
damper should be on the cold air side of the
thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to
where the vent system enters the heated
portion of the house.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of
makeup air systems, when using ventilation
systems greater than specified CFM of air
movement. The specified CFM varies from
state to state. Consult your HVAC
professional for specific requirements in
your area.
Venting Method
This canopy hood is factory set for through
the roof or wall.
A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed
for installation. The hood exhaust opening is
6" (15.2 cm) round.
To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is
needed.
If exhaust ducting with a diameter of less
than 5.91” (150 mm) or if flat ducting is used,
the noise level of the range hood will
increase and extraction will be less efficient.
.

Calculating Vent System
Length
To calculate the length of the system you need,
add the equivalent feet (meters) for all vent
pieces used in the system.
ELECTRICAL

Check if the range hood has been plugged in, make sure that all power has been turned
back ON, fused not blown and all electrical wiring are properly connected.
Swap out light assembly to working ones to determine whether it is caused by a
defective bulb.
2. The range hood vibrates when the blower is on:
The range hood might not have been secured properly on the ceiling or wall.
3. The blower or fan seems weak:
Check that the duct sized used is at least 8” or 3-1/4 x 10”. Range hood WILL NOT
function efficiently with insufficient duct size. For example: 10” duct over 8” 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.
4. The lights work but the blower is not spinning at all. It’s stuck or it’s rattling.
The blower might be jammed or scraping the bottom due to shipping damage. Please
contact us immediately.
5. The hood is not venting out properly.
Make sure the distance between the stove top and the bottom of the hood is within
27”-30” in distance.
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.
NOTE: For all other inquiries, please contact us.
Troubleshooting
1. If the range hood or halogen light does not operate after installation:

14
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, it can easily overheat and
catch fire. The risk of self combustion is higher when the oil has been used several times.
NEVER cook on “open” flames under the range hood. Check deep-fryers during use.
Superheated oil may be flammable.
Cleaning:
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. 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.
