CAUTION
To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air outside, do
not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics,
crawl spaces, or garages.
WARNING
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and
standards, including fire-rated construction.
b) Sucient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning
equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating
equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such
as those published by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code
authorities.

Installation Instructions
Mounting Height, Clearance, & Ducting
A minimum of 7” round or 3-1/4” x 10” rectangular duct must be used to maintain maximum air flow
eciency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%.
Also use the ducting calculation sheet (on page 8) 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.
If turns or transitions are required; install as far away from hood duct output and as far apart,
between the two as possible.
Minimum mount height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 24”.
Maximum mount height should be no higher than 36”.
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 its
performance and eciency.
If available, also refer range manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range. Always check your local codes for any dierences.
For shipment and installation damages:
►Please fully inspect unit for damage before installation.
►If the unit is damaged in shipment, return the unit to the store in which it was bought for repair or
replacement.
►If the unit is damaged by the customer, repair or replacement is the responsibility of the customer.
►If the unit is damaged by the installer (if other than the customer), repair of replacement must be
made by arrangement between customer and installer.

Ducting Options
►Use single wall rigid metal ductwork only.
►Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints w/ certified Silver Tape or Duct
Tape.
Fire Hazard: NEVER exhaust air or terminate ductwork into
spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceilings, attics, or garages.
All exhaust must be ducted to the outside, unless using the
recirculating option.

Installation Instructions
Ductless Recirculation
Ductless recirculation is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be
installed. When converted, the hood functions as a recirculating hood rather than an exhaust hood.
Fumes and exhaust from cooking are drawn and filtered by a set of optional charcoal filters. The air is
then purified 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 possible. The hood is most eective and ecient as an exhaust hood. Only when the
exhaust option is not possible should you recourse to converting the hood into a recirculating hood.
When converted to be a recirculating hood, a set of charcoal filters are required on top of its standard
Metal Filter set. Order according to its part number below. The standard mesh filters are intended to
capture residue from cooking, and the optional charcoal filters help to purify fumes exhausted from
cooking for recirculation.
Kit includes the charcoal filters and the air diverter plate. For detailed installation instructions, please
refer to the manual included with the recirculating kit.

Hood & Filter Cleaning
Surface Maintenance
►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 bu out the stainless
luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth or micro fiber cloth and bu in the
direction of the stainless steel grain.
Hybrid Bae Filters
The hybrid bae filters installed by the factory are intended to filter out residue and grease from
cooking. They need not be replaced on a regular basis but are required to be kept clean.
Remove and clean by hand or in dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the
filter may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions - but this will
not aect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty. Spray degreasing
detergent and leave to soak if heavily soiled.
Dry filters and re-install before using hood.
