Advanced Preparations:
1. Read the entire installation guide and users manual thoroughly, understand instructions and warnings.
2. Be familiar with the controls of the range hood by reading through
Range Hood Operations
,
Page 12.
3. Place the range hood on a flat, stable surface. Connect the range hood to a designated standard outlet (please
refer the product label for the suitable voltage of this unit) and verify no debris has entered the vent openings,
then turn on the range hood. Verify all operations of the range hood by referring to
Range Hood Operations
,
Page 12.
4. Place all supplied parts and required hardware on a flat, stable surface and verify the existence of all supplied
parts listed on Page 4.
5.
Carefully remove the white plastic protective coat from the chimney covers and range hood if any.
Preparations:
NOTE: To avoid damage to your hood, prevent debris from entering the vent opening.
1. Determine and mark the center line on the ceiling where the range hood will be installed. Make sure there is
proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
2. Due to the weight and size of this unit, please make sure that the support system or framework being used is
stable and secure in the ceiling.
3. Put a thick, protective covering over counter top, cook top or range to protect from damage or dirt. Remove
any hazardous objects around the area when installing.
4. Mark the locations of the support mounting bracket holes, vent cutout (if used) and power supply cable cutout
on the ceiling. Use drill and saber saw or keyhole saw to cut openings for power supply cable and vent (see
Venting Methods
and
Electrical requirements
, Pages 7-8).
5.
If venting to the outside install vent system (see
Venting Methods
, Page 7). Use caulking to seal exterior wall
or roof openings.
6.
Disconnect main electrical supply, prepare and run electrical wiring through ceiling. Leave approximately
12” of electrical cord hanging from the ceiling. Do not restore power until wiring is completed.
7.
Disconnect power cord, remove the stainless steel baffle filter (see
Figure 9
, Page 11) and grease tunnel.
8. If charcoal filter is present, unscrew the screws and remove the filter.
9. Set aside the stainless steel baffle filters, grease tunnel and charcoal filter until the range hood is properly
installed.
10.
If the range hood comes with a glass canopy and has not already been mounted to the hood, loosen the four
canopy screws and washers from the hood top, carefully place the canopy on the hood top, and loosely tighten
the four canopy screws along with washers. DO NOT put excessive pressure against the glass.
