• This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
• Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
IMPORTANT:
• 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/aluminum duct work only.
• Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certied Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

IMPORTANT:
• A minimum of 6” round (standard for this range hood) or 3-1/4 x 10” rectangular duct (purchased separate-
ly) must be used to maintain maximum airow efciency.
• Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airow when connecting to provided
duct.
• Please use Duct Run Calculation below 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 pancake reducer. Reduc-
ing duct size will restrict airow and decrease airow, thus 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 mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 27-inch*.
• Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no higher than 30-inch*.
• It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat
damage and re hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose its performance
and efciency.
• If available, also refer to stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range.
* Due to different ceiling height congurations, recommended height may not be applicable.
Minimum Duct Size:
• Round - 6” minimum
• Rectangular - 3-1/4 x 10” minimum (requires a 6” to 3-1/4x10” adaptor, not supplied)
Duct Run Calculation:
Recommended maximum run
6” or 3-1/4 x 10” duct 50 ft
Vent piece deduction
Each 90º elbow used 9 ft
Each 45º elbow used 5 ft
Each 6” to 3/14 x 10” transition used 7 ft
Side wall cap with damper 0 ft
Roof cap 0 ft
Duct Run Calcuation example:
One roof cap, two 90º elbow, and one 45º elbow used:
0ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 23ft used.
Deduct 23ft from 50ft, 27ft maximum available for
straight duct run.
Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, deduct the equivalent feet for each vent piece used in the system
from the recommended maximum duct run.

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Use and Care Information
Operations:
• 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 lters in place. Without these components, operating blowers could catch on to
hair, ngers 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 can easily overheat and catch re. The risk of
self combustion is higher when the oil has been used several times.
• NEVER cook on “open” ames under the range hood. Check deep-fryers during use: Superheated oil may be
ammable.
Cleaning:
• The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and lters may cause increased inammability. Keep unit clean
and free of grease and residue build-up at all times to prevent possible res.
• Filters must be cleaned periodically and free from accumulation of cooking residue (see cleaning instructions
on Page 22). Old and worn lters must be replaced immediately.
• DO NOT operate blowers when lters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper instruc-
tions. Disassembly is recommended to be performed by qualied personnel only. Read and understand all
instructions and warnings in this manual before proceeding.
Troubleshooting
Page 14
1. If the range hood or halogen light does 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 con-
nected.
• Swap out light assembly to working ones to deter-
mine whether it is caused by defective bulbs. See
Replacing the light bulbs on Page 22.
2. The range hood vibrates when the blower is on: • The range hood might not have been secured prop-
erly on to the ceiling or wall.
3. The blower or fan seems weak: • Check that the duct sized used is at least 6” or 3-1/4
x 10”. Range hood WILL NOT function efciently
with insufcient duct size. For example: 7” duct
over 6” hole and loosely secured.
• Check if duct is clogged or if damper unit (half-cir-
cular apper) 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 bot-
tom due to shipping damage. Please contact us im-
mediately.
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” and 30” in
distance. *Due to different ceiling height congura-
tions, 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.
