To calculate the length of the duct system you require, subtract the equivalent feet for each “Duct
piece” (Table Below) used in the system from the “Recommended maximum run” (Table Below). The
longest duct run that is acceptable (if completely straight) is 50 feet. The number of duct pieces (el-
bow, transition, etc.) installed in your duct run will determine the maximum length the duct run can be.
AP238-PS15 | 5
Please refer to the example below:
Duct Run Calculation:
Recommended maximum run
8” round duct 50 ft
Duct piece deduction
Each 90º elbow used 9 ft
Each 45º elbow used 5 ft
Each round to rectangle transition
used
7 ft
Side wall cap with damper 7 ft
Roof cap 7 ft
Duct Run Calcuation example:
One roof cap, two 90º elbows, and one 45º elbow
used:
7ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 30ft used.
The above duct pieces used are equivalent to 30ft
of a straight duct run. Subtract 30ft from the al-
lowable 50ft. The remaining distance of 20ft is the
longest that the straight ducting (in addition to the
vent pieces) can be.

RANGE HOOD OPERATIONS
In addition to the remote control feature, this range hood is also equipped with a heat sensor that
will self-calibrate in 5 seconds when the range hood is first electrically activated when selfcalibra-
tion is done. To con-serve energy, the LCD panel will turn off automatically after 5 seconds of
inactivity. For the best results, start the range hood before cooking and allow it to operate several
minutes after the cooking is completed to clear all smoke and odors from the kitchen.
·While the range hood is on and the blower is running, press Decrease button to decrease
blower speed (“F4”to “F1”) as indicated in LCD panel. The Decrease button cycle blower
settings from “high”speed (F4), to “medium”speed (F3), “low”speed (F2), “quiet”
speed (F1) to “off”
•While the range hood is off, use the Increase or Decrease buttons to start the blower.
Press Increase button to increase blower speed (“F1” to “F4”) as indicated in LCD panel.

1. If the range hood or lights do not operate after
installation:
• 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 defective bulbs.
See Replacing the light bulbs page.
2. The range hood vibrates when the blower is on: • The range hood might not have been secured
properly on to the ceiling or wall.
• The impeller may be out of balance.
3. The blower or fan seems weak: • Duct is too small. Range hood WILL NOT function
eciently with insucient duct size. For example:
Connecting this hood to 4”, 5” or 6” duct will reduce
the suction and create extra noise and vibrations.
Check if duct is clogged or if damper unit is not
installed correctly or opening properly. A tight mesh
on a side wall cap unit might also cause restriction
to the air ow.
4. The lights work but the blower is not spinning at all,
is stuck or is 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* 24” and
30” in distance. *Due to dierent ceiling height
congurations, 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 duct size must be 8”, or larger. Please make
sure there are NO reducers or plenums in the duct
work.
NOTE: For all other inquiries, please contact
Infernus
Range Hoods.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Infernus range hoods
VICTORY range hoods
20 | AP238-PS15 VERONA / ELITE | 31
(a)
(b)
(c)
a. Avoid the use of sharp elbows. Use 45 degrees instead, if possible.
b. DO NOT use REDUCERS. Keep the size of the duct the same, as per the manual. A reducer will
reduce the CFM of the hood and increase the noise.
c. DO NOT use plenum boxes. Boxes create turbulence and make the hood inecient. Use a smooth
elbow to guide the air outdoors.
DO’S AND DON’TS FOR DUCT VENTING
BULB REPLACEMENT
Replacing the 3W 12V LED Light Bulb :
1. Should the light bulb burned out due to age and prolonged use, replace with following: LED 3W 12V
2. Make sure the range hood is unplugged or turn OFF breaker and the lights are cool to touch.
3. Place a flat-head screwdriver between light housing and hood body, gently pry up the light housing and
search for the metal clip.
4. Apply force to the metal clip and pull out the light fixture. Disconnect the power cable and discard the old
