MOUNTING HEIGHTS & CLEARANCE
DUCTING
6-3/4"
36"
96"
Min 28"-Max 36"
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 fire haz-
ard; while hoods mounted too high will be
hard to reach and will loose its performance
and efficiency.
If available, also refer range manufacturer's
height clearance requirements and recom-
mended hood mounting height above range.
A minimum of 5" round or 3-1/4” x 10"rectangu-
lar duct must be used to maintain maximum air
flow efficiency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only.
Flexible ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%.
Also use calculation (on right) to compute total
available duct run when using elbows, transitions
and caps.
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 a reducer
is used, install a long reducer instead of a pan-
cake 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 2, as possible.
*Minimum clearance of 28” hood above range
height.
** Maximum clearance 36" hood above range
height.

INSTALLATION 4
DUCTING
NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or
garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
Use Metal ductwork only.
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints w/ certified Silver Tape or DuctTape.

side wall cap
w/ gravity damper
side wall cap
w/ gravity damper
Soffit or crawl space

MOUNTING THE RANGEHOOD
1. This range hood is mounted under a
kitchen cabinet unit.
2. Select preferred duct location on rear or
top of unit. For ductless conversion, no
ducting is required, however front cover
panel must be removed prior to installation.
(See page 7)
3. An optional spacer plate is provided to
cover the gap between the back of the
hood and the wall. If using this plate, screw
it onto the hood prior to installation.
4. Begin installation by temporarily removing
the mesh filter panels.
5. Unscrew the two interior side panels and
slide them sideways to allow access for
marking the mounting hole locations.
(See page 7)
6. Temporarily position the range hood in the
desired mounting location.
7. Mark the mounting holes, duct and
electrical access locations with a pencil.
For ductless conversion, no hole is required
for a duct.
8. Drill/cut out the required openings for duct
and electrical access.
9. Install duct work and electrical.
10. Fasten mounting screws into
underside of mounting location,
and reposition hood into place.
11. Hang hood onto mounting screws and
hand tighten.

INSTALLATION
DUCTLESS CONVERSION
12. For ductless conversion, the interior
cover plate must be unscrewed and
removed as shown. (See diagram page 7)
13. Reposition the interior side panels to
original location, and screw into place.
14. Reinstall the filter panels.

INSTALLATION 8
DUCTLESS CONVERSION
Ductless conversion is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be
installed. When converted, the hood functions as a "purifying" hood rather than an exhaust hood.
Fumes and exhaust from cooking is drawn and filtered by a set of optional Carbon Filters. The air
is then purified and re-circulated 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 efficient as an Exhaust unit. Only when
the exhaust option is not possible should you recourse to converting the hood into a "purifying"unit.
When converted to be a "purifying" unit, a set of Carbon Filters is required on top of the standard
Metal Filter set. Order according to Part numbers below. The standard Metal Filters are intended
to capture residue from cooking and the optional Carbon Filters help to purify fumes exhausted
from cooking for re-circulation.
Carbon Filters (Required)
1. Purchase ductless Charcoal Filters as follows:
2. Remove metal filters on hood.
3. Install attachment bracket into metal filter.
4. Clip carbon filter onto bracket.
5. Re-install metal filters.
6. Carbon Filters must be replaced after
every 120 hours of use (or approximately
every 2 to 3 months based on the average
of 1-2 hrs. of daily cooking time).
The microprocessor in the controls when
set, will count usage time and indicate
when carbon filter replacement is required.
Carbon Filter Dimensions:
9” x 6.4”
228 mm X 162 mm
Note: see User Guide for more information on
ductless conversion options.
