CARE AND CLEANING

Metal Grease Filter

The metal filters trap grease during cooking. The filter must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is in use. The grease filter is dishwasher-safe and should be cleaned every 6 months, or as needed.

To remove: Pull downward on the filter lock to release the filter.

To replace: Fit the tabs at the bottom of the filter into the slots in the back of the filter opening. Lift up the front side of the filter and push gently until the filter locks into place. Make sure the filter lock is in the closed position to secure the filter.

To clean, swish the filter in hot soapy water and rinse in clean water or wash it in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleansers.

NOTE: Some discoloration may occur in the dishwasher.

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the brush line. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish, and small blemishes.

Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge.

Painted Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pads or other abrasive cleaners; they will scratch the surface.

Clean grease-laden surfaces of the hood frequently. To clean the hood surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces. About one tablespoon of ammonia may be added to the water. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

NOTE: When cleaning, take care not to come in contact with filters and other surfaces.

CAUTION! When cleaning the hood surfaces, be certain that you do not touch the light with moist hands or cloth. A warm or hot light may break if touched with a moist surface. Always let the light cool completely before cleaning around it.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSULATION AND/OR CAULK AROUND THE DUCTS

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

1. SELECT VENT OPTION THAT YOUR INSTALLATION WILL REQUIRE (A-D)

1. Outside top exhaust (Vertical duct—3 1»4” x 10” Rectangular)
   
2. Outside top exhaust (Vertical duct—7” Round)
   
3. Outside rear exhaust (Horizontal duct—3 1»4” x 10” Rectangular)
   
4. Recirculating (Unit is configured from factory in this mode)
   

2. PREPARING MOUNTING

For cabinets with dimensions below, the mounting bracket may be used for any model. Otherwise, the hood must mount directly to bottom of cabinet. Wood shims may be needed for cabinets with a recessed bottom. Skip to step B.

A. To install the mounting bracket
Drive (E) screws in partway into mounting bracket. The bracket labeled "R" will be used on the right side of the cabinet and the bracket labeled "L" will be used on the left side of the cabinet.

Under the cabinet that you are placing the range hood, attach the mounting bracket as shown below with (F) screws. Make sure orientation is correct. Brackets should be located against the back wall and flush with the bottom of the cabinet.

NOTE: Repeat on left side.

B. To install to the bottom of cabinet
Use the diagram or hood as a template and mark the locations on the cabinet for the keyholes screws. Drive the 4 (F) screws partway into the bottom of the cabinet (or wood shims).

3. PREPARE FOR ELECTRICAL AND VENTING

Select the vent option that your installation will require and proceed to that section:

1. Outside top exhaust (Vertical duct–3 1»4” x 10” Rectangular)
   • Use the diagram as a template and mark the locations on the cabinet for ductwork and electrical wiring.
     
2. Outside top exhaust (Vertical duct–7” Round)
   • Use the diagram as a template and mark the locations on the cabinet for ductwork and electrical wiring.
     
3. Outside rear exhaust (Horizontal duct–3 1»4” x 10” Rectangular)
   • Use the diagram as a template and mark the locations on the cabinet for ductwork and electrical wiring.
     

4. REMOVE ELECTRICAL KNOCKOUTS

Use a flat blade screwdriver, remove the appropriate electrical knockout from the back or the top of the hood.

5. REMOVE JUNCTION BOX

Remove junction box from inside the hood. Set the junction box and mounting screws aside.

6. REMOVE DUCT KNOCKOUT(S) FOR VENTED INSTALLATION

Determine which ducting option to use. Using a flat blade screwdriver, remove the appropriate duct knockout(s) from the top or back of the hood.

NOTE: If the hood is to be installed in a recirculation, non-vented ductless manner, do not remove any venting knockouts.

NOTE: For an ENERGY STAR® model, unit must be vented mode to be considered ENERGY STAR® certified.

7. ATTACH DAMPER/DUCT CONNECTOR

Attach damper/duct connector over knockout opening with two or four (D) screws. Make sure damper pivot is nearest to top/back edge of hood. Remove any packaging tape to allow damper to move freely.

8. FOR VENTED INSTALLATIONS

On Some Models: Install with vented mode deflector part.

On Some Models: The existing deflector part must be removed. To remove the existing deflector piece, unscrew to remove it. Install the vented mode deflector part included in hardware kit using the screw. The deflector must be installed to prevent leakage in case of vented installation.

On Some Models: Remove, rotate, and re-install deflector part for vented mode.

9. FEED IN WIRES

Lift the hood into position and feed the house wiring through the wiring knockout.

10. MOUNT THE UTC

Place the hood onto the partially installed screws using the keyholes and slide the hood back into position.

11. SECURE HOOD

12. CONNECT DUCTWORK TO HOOD (Ducted installations only)

Connect ducting to hood. Use duct tape to make joints secure and airtight.

13. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

1. Connect the Power Supply Cable to the range hood. Attach the white lead of the power supply to the white lead of the range hood (A) with a wire nut (C). Attach the black lead of the power supply to the black lead of the range hood (B) with a wire nut (C). Connect the green (D) ground wire under the green grounding screw.
2. Replace the junction box cover.
   

14. FINISH THE INSTALLATION

On Some Models:

1. For recirculation: Install the charcoal filter.
   
2. For ducted installation: Install the grease filters.
   

On Some Models:

1. For recirculation: Place the charcoal filter (not included) in place and mount using 2 screws. Replace the grease filters.
