Installation
The installation in this manual is intended for qualified installers,service technicians or persons
with similar qualified background.DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself.Injury could
result from installing the unit due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical background.
All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded. Overly accumulated
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 insure proper connection
and all joints should be properly taped.
* Please check for latest specification revisions before any custom work or cutouts.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

MOUNTING HEIGHTS
DUCTING
6"
36"
96"
Min 24"-Max 32"
Minimum mounting height between range top
to hood bottom should be no less than 24".
Maximum mounting height should be no high-
er than 32".
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 lose performance and
efficiency.
If available, also refer to range manufacturer's
height clearance requirements and recom-
mended hood mounting height above range.
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 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 of
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 pancake
reducer. Reduce duct size as far away from open-
ing 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 24”hood above range
height.
** Maximum clearance 32" hood above range
height.

INSTALLATION 3
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.

MOUNTING THE RANGEHOOD
ELECTRICAL
All Electrical work must by performed by qualified electrician or person with similar technical
know how and background.
For personal safety, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.
Do not use extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance.
Follow National electrical codes or prevailing local codes and ordinances.
Electrical Supply:
This appliance requires a 120V 60Hz electrical supply, connected to an individual, properly grounded
branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 ampere circuit breaker or time delay fuse.Wiring must be 2
wire w/ ground. Please also refer Electrical Diagram labeled on product.
Cable Lock:
A cable locking connector (not supplied) might also required by local codes. Check with local
requirements and codes, purchase and install appropriate connector if necessary.

INSTALLATION 6
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.
3. Begin installation by temporarily removing
the diffuser and filter panels.
4. Temporarily position the range hood in
the desired mounting location.
Measure and mark the mounting holes,
duct and electrical access locations with
a pencil.
5. Drill/cut out the required openings for
duct and electrical access; make sure the
duct opening is large enough to apply
duct tape.
6. Fasten mounting screws onto
cabinet as marked, do not tighten,
leaving half length of screws exposed.
7. Install electrical.
8. Hang hood onto screws through key
holes, and tighten.
9. Install duct work and duct-tape.
10. Reinstall the difuser panels.
11. Power up hood and check for leaks
around duct-tape.

INSTALLATION 9
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 are drawn and filtered by a set of optional Carbon Filters.The air
is then purified and re-circulated back within the home.
We recommend toALWAYS 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 Carbon Filters Kit is required. Order according to its Part
number 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 Carbon Filters Kit as follow:
2.The ductless conversion housing must be
installed prior to installation of the range
hood.
3. Remove the diffuser panels on the hood.
4. Clip carbon filter onto bracket of
diffuser panels.
5. Re-install diffuser panels.
6. Carbon Filters must be replaced after
every 120 hours of use (or approximately
every 2 to 3 months based on the average
of 1-2hrs. of daily cooking time).
7. Refer installation manual provided with
ductless carbon filters kit.
