DUCTED INSTALLATION ONLY
NOTE
The grille cover plate must NOT be removed to function in ducted mode.
5.
Remove appropriate duct knockout on hood by inserting screwdriver into edge of knockout and breaking tabs holding knockout to hood. Peel
knockout back with pliers. (
FIG. 5
)
6.
For 3¼” x 10” ducting only: Fit damper/duct connector over opening and secure in place using screws previously removed in PREPARING THE HOOD
section (
FIG. 6
)
Hinge pins and damper/duct connector should be toward top of hood for ducting through wall or toward back of hood for ducting through cabinet
above hood. Seal joint between damper/duct connector and hood with duct tape.
7.
7” round ducted discharge only: Install, between 2 duct sections, a 7” round damper (purchase separately). Damper flap must open freely in
direction of air flow (away from range hood).
PREPARING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
NOTE
MOUNT HOOD SO THAT BOTTOM OF HOOD IS 20”-25” ABOVE COOKING SURFACE.
OMIT STEP 8 if range hood will be installed under cabinets with flush bottom.
8.
(For installation on recessed bottom cabinets only.) Attach a wood filler strip at each side of recessed area under cabinet. (Use two 1” x 2” strips cut to
length.) If recess is more than 1” use thicker strips. Attach strips with 1¼” screws about 3” from each end. See
FIG. 7
.
9.
Measure and mark the following (
FIGS. 7
&
8
):
a) Electrical line opening
b) Duct opening
10.
Drill four pilot holes in corners of marked duct opening as shown and cut opening with saber saw or keyhole saw.
11.
Use 1¼” drill bit to drill opening for electrical connection in wall or cabinet.
12.
Hold hood up against cabinet bottom and trace keyhole slots onto cabinet bottom or filler strips.
13.
Screw the four supplied 7/8” wood screws for mounting the hood into the exact center of the narrow end of the keyhole slots marked underneath the
cabinet. Allow 3/8” of the screws to project, so the hood can be fitted into place.
NOTE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL FOLLOW THE PLANS MADE ON PAGE 1. START AT THE EXTERIOR AND RUN THE DUCT BACK TO THE RANGE HOOD.
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE OF YOUR RANGE HOOD, USE THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE DUCT RUN AND A MINIMUM NUMBER OF ELBOWS.
NEVER VENT A RANGE HOOD INTO AN ATTIC SPACE BECAUSE A BUILDUP OF GREASE WILL BECOME A FIRE HAZARD.
USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK (DO NOT USE PLASTIC DUCT). ASSEMBLE SECURELY SO THAT IN CASE OF A GREASE FIRE ON THE RANGE, THE
FIRE WILL BE CONTAINED INSIDE METAL DUCT WORK.
IT IS A GOOD PRACTICE TO TAPE WITH METAL DUCT TAPE ALL DUCT CONNECTIONS, MAKING THEM BOTH SECURE AND AIR TIGHT.
14.
Follow appropriate directions below for type of ductwork you are installing:
WALL CAP (
FIG. 9
)
Use a saber saw to cut a hole slightly larger than duct so duct will line up easily with hood. Install casing strips on outside walls finished in siding.
Assemble the duct work and tape all joints. Run duct work back to hood. Fasten wall cap to last section of duct and nail or screw cap to wall. Seal all
around flange on wall cap with caulking compound for exterior use. Make sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the duct will overlap the
damper/duct connector by 3/4” when the hood is installed.
ROOF CAP
Cut hole in roof slightly larger than duct so duct will line up easily with hood. Trim shingles around hole so that they will fit snugly around hood of cap
when cap is installed. Assemble the ductwork and tape all joints. Run the ductwork down to hood. Trim duct parallel to roof pitch, leaving 3/4” of duct
projecting above roof. Seal all around duct with roof cement.
Install roof cap, inserting back edge of cap under shingles. Seal around cap with roof cement and seal all nail heads and shingles which were cut or lifted.
Make sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the duct will overlap the damper/duct connector by 3/4” when the hood is put into place.
INSTALLING THE DUCTWORK
INSTALLING THE RANGE HOOD
15.
Bring electrical cable through access hole drilled in wall or bottom of cabinet. Provide 6” wire leads and install proper connector for type of cable being
used. Remove lock nut from connector and let prepared cable project through cabinet or wall opening so it is ready for installation into range hood.
(
FIG. 10
)
16.
Position hood in place so that:
a) Electrical line is routed through appropriate knockout opening. This step will have to be accomplished while positioning hood. (
FIG. 11
)
b) Large part of keyhole mounting slots on hood fit onto hood mounting screws projecting from bottom of cabinet. (
FIG. 11
)
c) Damper/duct connector (if present) slides into duct work in wall or cabinet.
17.
Tighten the four hood mounting screws securely.
18.
Install locknut on electrical connector and tighten securely.
19.
Make electrical connection using wire nuts to connect WHITE wires to WHITE, BLACK wires to BLACK, and GREEN or bare wire to GREEN ground screw
provided.
(
FIG. 12
)
20.
Replace wiring box cover and screw, taking care not to pinch wires.
NOTE
For non-ducted installations only:
Remove the aluminum filter from the hood.
Attach the non-ducted filter (part number S97021380, purchase separately) on the back of aluminum filter (side without pull tab),
using 4 provided clips
(
FIG. 13
).
Reinstall the aluminum filter.
USE AND CARE
CONTROL KNOBS
Right knob controls light and left knob controls blower.
Light:
Rotate light knob CLOCKWISE to turn ON the light. Rotate knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to turn light OFF.
Blower:
Rotate blower knob CLOCKWISE to turn blower ON to LOW speed. Further CLOCKWISE rotation sets blower on HIGH speed. Rotate knob fully
COUNTERCLOCKWISE (past LOW speed) to turn fan OFF.
CLEANING
Finish Keep your range hood clean using a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces.
The aluminum filter should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm dishwashing detergent solution.
Clean all-metal filter 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 affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty. To minimize or prevent discoloration, hand wash
filter using a mild detergent.
FILTER REMOVAL
Remove filter by pulling on its plastic tab.
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
Light bulb (not supplied with hood) should be HALOGEN OR LED, but always GU10 base. Align the bulb leads with the small indentations located on the
border of the lamp location on hood (see inset in
FIG. 14
), then install the bulb by placing the bulb leads into their grooves in the socket. Gently push
upwards and turn clockwise until secured.
Halogen bulb
: Shielded halogen bulb, GU10 base, 50 watts maximum
LED bulb
: 7 watts maximum, GU10 base.

WARNING
Do not touch lamp during or soon after operation. Burns may occur. In order to prevent the risk of personal injury, only install
shielded halogen lamp. Also, never install a cool beam, a dichroic lamp, a lamp not suitable for use in recessed luminaires or
identifi ed for use in enclosed fi xtures.
