RESIDENTIAL RANGE HOOD APPLICATIONS
1.
For residential range hood applications, fan must be used with a proper grease filtering system.
Grease filters must be cleaned regularly.
2.
To reduce the risk of injury, fan must be installed at least 7 feet (2.1 meters) above the floor.
3.
Fan must be inspected regularly. Remove any obstructions and clean all grease from the fan and
impeller surfaces.
FAN INSTALLATION
1.
Rotate fan impeller by hand, ensuring it rotates freely.
2.
Locate fan as close as possible to discharge point, while still providing access to perform
maintenance.
3.
Ensure that mounting location can support the fan assembly.
4.
Attach mounting brackets to the fan.
5.
Air flow direction is indicated by arrow on the electrical box.
6.
Mount fan using the brackets provided (fan may be mounted in any orientation, however
vertical mounting is recommended to reduce condensation build-up in the fan). Ensure that
electrical box is accessible.
7.
Attach duct to inlet and outlet of fan housing using clamps (insulated duct recommended in
unheated areas).
8.
Seal fan to duct using duct tape to prevent air loss.
9.
Confirm that supply voltage matches motor name plate rating.
10.
Make electrical connections to fan junction box.
11.
These fans are suitable for use with a speed control.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
1.
When undertaking maintenance or service work, ensure that electrical service to fan is locked in
the “OFF” position to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device such as a
tag to service panel.
2.
Do not re-establish power supply until maintenance or service work has been completed.
3.
Maintenance or service work must be performed by a qualified person in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including local fire codes.
4.
Impellers must be inspected regularly. In order to inspect impeller, remove fan from the duct
work. Remove any obstructions and clean with damp cloth.
5.
Motor bearings are factory lubricated and do not require additional lubrication.
