THIS HOOD IS DESIGNED TO USE AN 8” ROUND DUCT -
IT MAY BE TRANSITIONED TO A 4” X 14” RECTANGULAR DUCT
NEVER REDUCE DUCT SIZE. UNDERSIZED DUCTING SEVERELY RESTRICTS AIR
FLOW AND HARMS PERFORMANCE.
(Example: the area of an 8” Duct is more than 75% larger than a 6” Duct)
KEEP DUCT RUNS AS SHORT AND STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE.
AVOID USING FLEXIBLE METAL DUCTING IF RUN IS LONGER THAN 6’.
NEVER USE PLASTIC DUCTING.
USE SMOOTH BORE METAL DUCTING.
MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF FITTINGS (see chart).
WHEN YOU MUST USE FITTINGS, TRY TO SEPARATE THEM WITH SECTIONS OF
4’ OR MORE OF STRAIGHT DUCT.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S GUIDELINES FOR THE COOKING
EQUIPMENT YOU ARE VENTING.
IF MAKE UP AIR CONTROL DAMPERS ARE REQUIRED, POSITION THE SENSOR
IN A STRAIGHT RUN OF DUCT IDEALLY WITH 4’ OF STRAIGHT DUCT BETWEEN
EACH SIDE OF THE SENSOR AND A DUCT FITTING. REMEMBER TO INCLUDE
POWER AND CONTROL WIRING FOR THIS IN YOUR PLANS.
ADHERE TO ALL LOCAL BUILDING CODES AND ORDINANCES.
USE THE WORKSHEET THAT FOLLOWS TO HELP CALCULATE THE
TOTAL EQUIVILENT FEET OF YOUR DUCT RUN.
TOTAL EQUIVILENT FEET SHOULD BE LESS THAN 100’.

maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance is the key to long life and peak performance of any
equipment.
ANTI-GREASE BAFFLE FILTERS: Your XO hood is equipped with stainless steel pro-style
baffle filters designed to capture grease from cooking. The baffles are easily removed for
cleaning either by soaking in a warm, mild dish detergent solution, rinsing thoroughly and
drying - or - by washing in your dishwasher.
TO REMOVE THE BAFFLES:
1.Pull down on the release latch (shown left)
2.Lower the front edge of the baffle
3.Pull forward and remove
4.To replace, insert the rear of the baffle,
holding the latch open, swing the the front up
into place and release the latch.
The importance of this simple process is
essential for two reasons. First to help keep
your kitchen clean and healthy, but it is also
critical to minimize the risk of fire.
Baffle filters should be cleaned at least once every 2 months, more frequently depending on
the type of cooking performed and the build up of grease.
CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL:
Do not use corrosive detergents, abrasive detergents or oven cleaners.
Do not use any product containing chlorine bleach or any product containing chloride.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive scrubbing pads which will scratch and damage surface.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Clean periodically with warm soapy water and clean cotton cloth or
micro fiber cloth. Always rub in the direction of the stainless steel grain. To remove heavier
grease build up use a liquid degreaser detergent. After cleaning use a non-abrasive stainless
steel polish/cleaners, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain.Always rub lightly, with
a clean cotton cloth or a micro fiber cloth and buff in the direction of the stainless steel grain.
Any painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and detergent only.
