3. VENTING METHODS
This range hood can be installed as either ducted or ductless.
a. OUTDOOR VENTING METHODS (for outdoor venting through the
roof or wall only)
The hood is equipped with a transition “duct set” for discharge of fumes
to the out door. Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall.
To vent through a wall, a 90 degree elbow is used.
IMPORTANT:
- Vent system must terminate to the outside(through roof or side wall),
unless using a ductless recirculating kit (charcoal filter).
- Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or any other enclosed
area.
- Recommended to use metal / flexible aluminum vent only.
- Never use plastic vent.
- Always Keep the duct clean to ensure the proper airflow.
- NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spares between walls,
crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to
the outside.
- Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
- Do not use 4” (10.2cm) laundry-type wall caps.
Example 1. Vertical roof venting. Example 2. Horizontal wall venting

- Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow.
- It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through
the roof through 6” (15.2 cm) round metal/aluminium vent work. The
sizeoftheventshouldbeuniform.
- Use no more than three 90oelbows and do Not install two elbows
together.
- Make sure there is a minimum of 24”(61cm) of straight vent between
the elbows if more than one elbow is used. The length of vent system
and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient
performance.
- The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a damper,
Do Not use damper supplied with the range hood.
- Use duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
- Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with
certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
Calculate the duct run length:
If ducted with the required minimum of 6” round duct work, the duct run
should not exceed 35 equivalent feet. Calculate the length of the duct
work by adding the equivalent feet as below for each piece of duct in the
system.
If you must elbow right away, do it as far away from the hood’s exhaust
opening as possible.
45oElbow - 3.0 feet
90oElbow - 5.0 feet
90oFlat Elbow - 12.0 feet
Wall Cap - 0.0 feet
9 Feet Straight Duct 9.0 feet
2-90oElbow 10.0 feet
Wall Cap 0.0 feet
Total System 19.0 feet

18
(b). Duct less Recirculating Kit (Charcoal Filter)
- 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 charcoal filters.
The air is then purified and re-circulated back within the home.
- Ductless conversion is a “ purifying” unit, a set of charcoal filter and an
air deflector are required in addition to it standard aluminum filter set.
- The aluminum filter are intend to capture residue from cooking, the
optional charcoal filter helps to purify fumes exhausted from cooking,
and the optional air deflector redirects filter clean air back to the
house.
WARNING: Before making any cuts or holes for installation, determine
which venting method will be used and carefully calculate all
measurements.
Install the aluminium tube onto
the air deflector.

F. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within
the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
- Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you
select and install your hood. The hood installation height above cook
top is user preference. The lower the hood above the cook top, the
more efficient the capturing of cooking odors, grease and smoke. The
hood should be installed at 28” (71.1cm) minimum to 32” (81.3 cm)
above the counter top.
- Fitting material is provided to secure the hood to most types of walls.
However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials
in accordance with the type of wall. Must consult a qualified installer
and check if the screws and drywall anchor perfectly fit with your
cabin/wall.
- Due to the size and weight of this range hood, the support must
be firmly attached to the ceiling. For plaster or sheet rock ceilings,
the support must be attached to the joists. If this is not possible, a
support structure must be built behind the plaster or sheet rock. The
manufacturer assumes no responsibility for injury or damage caused
by improper installations.
- Put a thick, protective covering over counter top, cook top or range to
protectfromdamageordirt.Removeanyhazardousobjectsaround
the area when installing.
1. Locate an optimal location to place the range hood. Mark the leveling
