Before installing your range hood, carefully follow these steps:
1. Read This Manual
Read through all the steps. If you fail to read the instructions
carefully, we will not be responsible for damages incurred on
your part. If you’re not confident in your abilities to install the
range hood properly, we recommend hiring a certified
technician to complete the installation.
2. Gather Your Tools
Ensure you have all the necessary tools according to the
previous page.
3. Make Sure the Unit Works
Unpack the unit and check your range hood for damage or
missing parts. Plug it in to an outlet to ensure the fan and
lights work. If anything is damaged or missing, contact the
seller to get the issues solved. Don’t throw away packaging
until you’re sure you are fully satisfied with the product.
4. Ensure There is Proper Height Clearance
Check that you’ll be able to install the PS38 Range Hood at
the correct height. To ensure the best performance, the
bottom of your range hood must be between 24” and 30”
from the top of the cooking surface. For gas ranges, the
required distance is 30”.
Do not exceed the maximum height of 30" while in operation.
This is very important! Installing at the incorrect height could
lead to drastic reduction in the range’s performance or even
cause a fire.
5. Check Your Power Supply and Ducts
Check to ensure your main voltage is in line with the required
voltage outlined on the rating plate inside this hood. Also
check the domestic power supply to guarantee adequate
earthing before installation.
6. Check Ducts and Install Adapter
This range hood must be ducted to the outside using 6-inch
ductwork. Use an existing duct or have one professionally
installed. Don’t connect the range hood to exhaust ducts that
carry any type of combustion fumes like fireplaces, boilers, or
any similar items. For best results, use a minimum number of
transitions and elbows when running the ductwork. To install
the adapter, place the black rubber gasket over the lip at the
duct opening on the main body of the unit. Next, install the
adapter over the lip and insert two screws (BB) to securely
fasten the adapter.
Preparation: What to Do Before Installation
7. Prepare the Cabinet (Soffit)
Measure the size of the outlet adapter relative to the
cabinet. If it is not already done, you’ll need to cut an
opening in the cabinet to ensure the outlet adapter and
power cable can pass through can pass through. If you
must do this, use a pencil and ruler to mark the area, then
cut with a wall/keyhole saw.
If you’re installing the UC-PS38 under a cabinet with a
recessed bottom, we recommend using 4” wood fillers on
each side to stabilize the cabinet for secure mounting.
9. Find a Helper
This range hood is best installed by two or more people
due to its size and weight. Again, it is recommended to
hire a certified technician for installation to reduce the risk
of damage or injury.
