PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
1.
Unpack range hood and check contents.
Note: Be cautious of sharp edges within the unit.
2.
Remove hood cover insert screws and lift off cover
to expose the inside (Fig 1).
3.
Remove either the top or rear electrical knockout,
depending on how you plan to run power leads to
the hood through cabinet or wall (Fig 2).
4.
Insert a screwdriver into the knockout slot and bend the knockout back and
forth (Fig 3a & 3b). You may have to use pliers to pull out the loosened
knockout.
5.
For rectangular rear venting configuration (Fig 4):
•
Cover the rectangular top cutout with the rectangular cover plate and fasten
with tapping screws.
•
Place the rectangular damper onto the rear cutout and fasten with tapping
screws.
•
Important: Seal both the top cover plate and damper with aluminum foil
tape (preferred) or duct tape.
6.
For rectangular top venting configuration (Fig 5):
•
Cover the rear cutout with the rectangular cover plate and fasten with
tapping screws.
•
Place the rectangular damper onto the top rectangular cutout and fasten
with tapping screws.
•
Important: Seal both the rear cover plate and damper with aluminum foil
tape (preferred) or duct tape.
7.
For round top venting configuration: no rear cover or damper required.
PREPARATION FOR VENT AND EXHAUST DUCT CONNECTION
8.
To connect a rectangular vent to a round exhaust duct (or vice versa), use connecting duct.
9.
The round vent of Cyclone range hoods is 6” in diameter. If your round exhaust duct is not 6” in diameter, you will need a
connecting duct to accommodate the different sizes. If your exhaust duct is less than 6” in diameter, the efficiency of your
Cyclone range hood will be reduced.
10.
If you are connecting a rectangular vent to an existing rectangular duct, you do not need any connecting duct. However, to
install the range hood properly, you should consult/hire a professional.
11.
If you do not have an existing exhaust duct going outside your home, you need to make one. Please consult/hire a
professional to do the work properly. In general, for rear venting, you need to cut a rectangular hole on the wall to fit the
rectangular exhaust duct extended to the outside wall. For top venting, cut a rectangular or a 6” round hole through ceiling
or the bottom of cabinet to fit the duct connection.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Preparing Mounting Frame and Location
1. For installation on a recessed bottom cabinet, do steps a. to d. first (Omit these steps if the hood is to be mounted on a
cabinet with a flush bottom):
a.
Measure the space (under cabinet) between the inside front edge and inside back edge (Fig. 6). With a saber saw, cut
two 1” x 2” wood filler strips to fill in the bottom of the cabinet.
Ensure the power is turned off before installation or maintenance. If you move the range to make
room for working on the cabinet, turn off the 220V power for an electric range at the service entrance.
Before moving a gas range, shut off the gas.
