- A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply conduit (at the range hood and at the junction box).
Before Installing the Hood
- The Vent system must terminate outdoors.
- For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as possible. CAUTION: Vent unit to outside of building, only.
- At least two people are necessary for installation.
- Fittings material are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls and ceilings. Consult a qualified installer to confirm that the fittings are suitable for your cabinets, walls, and ceiling.
- Do not use flexible ducting.
- COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house
Venting Methods
Closely follow the instructions set out in this manual. Samsung is not responsible for any eventual inconveniences, damages or fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this manual.
Ducting version
The hood is equipped with a 6” (15.2 cm) round transition for discharge of fumes to the outside.
Preparation
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed. Fittings material are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify that the fittings are suitable for your cabinets, walls, and ceiling. Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for the exhaust vent.
Ductless version (Recirculating)
For installations where cooking fumes and vapor cannot be discharged to the outside, attach a charcoal filter and the deflector on the duct cover support bracket. Fumes and vapors will be recycled through the top grille by a duct connected to the transition and the transition mounted on the deflector.
NOTE: For horizontal discharge only: purchase the Ductless Recirculating Kit. Minimum Duct Size: 6” Round Pipe.
CAUTION!
- For electric/induction cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 24” (61cm) above the cooking surface.
- For gas cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 27” (68.6 cm) above the cooking surface.
- For both, mount no higher than 36” (91.4 cm) above the cooking surface.
- Measure the mounting height from the surface of the range to the bottom of the hood.
WARNING:
This hood is intended for household use.
PLEASE READ THE INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR THE HOOD´S SPECIFIC APPLICATION. Check your ceiling height and the hood´s height before selecting your hood.
