VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Vent system must terminate to the outside (roof or side
wall).
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other en-
closed area.
Do not use 4" laundry-type wall caps.
Use metal/aluminum vent only, a rigid metal/aluminum vent
is recommended.
Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airow.
Calculate the following gures before installation:
1. Distance from the oor to the ceiling.
2. Distance between the oor to the countertop/
stove (recommend 28"-31").
3. Distance between the countertop/stove to the
range hood.
4. Height of hood and duct cover.
FOR THE MOST EFFICIENT AND QUIET
OPERATION
A distance of 28"-31" is recommended between the stove
top and the bottom of range hood.
It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically
through the roof through 6" or larger round metal/aluminum
vent work.
The size of the vent should be uniform.
Use no more than three 90° elbows.
Make sure there is a minimum of 24" of straight vent
between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
Do not install two elbows together.
The length of vent system and number of elbows should
be kept to a minimum to provide efcient performance.
The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap
has a damper, do not use damper (if supplied) on top of
the range hood.
Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent
system.
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around
the cap.
Note: Due to different ceiling height congurations,
recommended height may not be applicable.

4Island Mount Range Hood Installation Instructions
HEIGHT AND CLEARANCE IMPORTANT
A minimum of 6" round (standard for this range hood)
or 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular duct (purchased separately)
must be used to maintain maximum airow efciency.
Flexible 6" round duct provided for convenience, 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 the
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"- 8". If a reducer is used, install a long
reducer instead of a pancake reducer. Because reducing
duct size will restrict and decrease airow, 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 bot-
tom should be no less than 28".
Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bot-
tom should be no higher than 31".
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting
height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat dam-
age and re hazard; hoods mounted too high will be hard
to reach and will lose performance and efciency.
If available, also refer to stove top manufacturer’s height
clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range.
Note: 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 3-1/4" x 10" adaptor, not supplied)

5Island Mount Range Hood Installation Instructions
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.
VENTING METHODS
This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. For non-vented (re-circulating) installations, see
“Recirculating (Non-Vented) Kit”.
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.

6Island Mount Range Hood Installation Instructions
DUCTLESS CONVERSION
Ductless conversion is intended for applications where exhaust duct work cannot be installed. When converted, the
hood functions as a purifying hood rather than an exhaust hood. Fumes and exhaust from cooking are drawn and
ltered by a set of charcoal lters. The air is then puried 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 possi-
ble. Only convert the hood into a purifying unit when the exhaust option is not available.
When converted to be a “purifying” unit, a set of charcoal lters and an air-diverter are required in addition to the
standard aluminum lter set, all available at your local resellers. The standard aluminum lters are intended to cap-
ture residue from cooking, the optional charcoal lters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking, and the optional
air-diverter redirects ltered clean air back to the house.
CHARCOAL FILTER INSTALLATION
If you purchased the range hood with re-circulating kit from Signature Hardware, the charcoal lters are preinstalled.
1. Remove aluminum lters on hood.
2. Remove the safety lter under the aluminum lter by unscrewing 2 screws, and position the charcoal lter and align
the screw holes, reinstall and fasten two screws.
3. Reinstall the aluminum lters back to the hood.
4. Charcoal lters must be replaced after 120 hours of use (or approximately every 2 to 3 months based on the
average of 1 to 2 hours of daily cooking time).
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. (Please consult with a qualied electrician for 220-Volt 50 Hz voltage)
It is the customer’s responsibility:
1. To contact a qualied electrical installer.
2. To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 or the latest edition, or CSA Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22. 2 No.0-M91 or the
latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
If a separate ground wire is used (code permiting), it is recommended that a qualied electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
A 120-Volt, 60 Hz, AC-only (USA & Canada standard), fused electrical supply is required on a separate 15-amp
circuit, fused on both sides of the line.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualied electrician if you are not sure that the range hood is properly grounded.

7Island Mount Range Hood Installation Instructions
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
Important: Save this Installation Guide for electrical inspector’s use.
The range hood must be connected with copper wire/plug only.
The range hood should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through exible armored
or non-metallic sheathed copper cable. A U.L. or C.S.A. listed strain relief must be provided at each end of the power
supply cable. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance.
Always use plug provided. If not possible, connect three wires according to color (black to Hot, white to Neutral, and
green to Ground) to house wires and cap with wire connectors.
Wire sizes (copper wire only) and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance as specied on the
model/serial rating label. Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70
or the latest edition, or CSA Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 or the latest
edition and all local codes and ordinances. A U.L. or C.S.A. listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If the range hood or halogen light does not operate after installation:
Verify that the range hood has been plugged in, make sure that all power has been turned back ON, the
fuse has not blown and all electrical wiring is properly conected.
Swap out light assembly with working assembly to determine if it is caused by defective bulbs. See
“Replacing the light bulbs”.
2. The range hood vibrates when the blower is on:
The range hood might not have been secured properly to the ceiling or wall. Check with your installer.
3. The blower or fan seems weak:
Make sure that the duct sized used is at least 6” or 3 -1/4x10”. 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-circular 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.

19Island Mount Range Hood Installation Instructions
4. The lights work but the blower is not spinning at all, it is stuck or
it is rattling:
The blower might be jammed or scraping the bottom due
to shipping damages. Please contact Customer
Service 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 28”-31” in distance.
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.
6. Purpose of the slots/holes/openings near the top of the upper chimney:
These slots/holes/openings are used to exhaust cleaned air with optional re-circulating kit. If you did not
install one, you do not need them.
For all other inquiries, please contact Customer Service.
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 Instruc-
tions”). Old and worn lters must be replaced immediately.
Do not operate blowers when lters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper instructions.
Disassembly is recommended to be performed by qualied personnel only. Read and understand all instruc-
tions and warnings in this manual before proceeding.

20Island Mount Range Hood Installation Instructions
MAINTENANCE
Safety Warning: Never put your hand into area housing the fan while the fan is operating.
For optimal operation, clean range hood and all bafe/spacer/lter/grease tunnel/oil container regularly. Regular care

such as “Forumla 409” or “Fantastic” brand cleaner.
If hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the hood. Avoid
getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow the directions of the stainless steel cleaner. Do not

After cleaning, you may use non abrasive stainless steel polish to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain.
Always scrub lightly with clean cotton cloth and with the grain.
Do not use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause rusting.
Do not allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel
for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals, which may be harmful. Rinse with water after
