1. Before installation, measure all distances to ensure the
proper position of the range hood (A).
- The minimum distance (1) from the cooking surface
to the range hood is 18 in. (458 mm). If your range
species a different distance, use the greater distance
of the two. For best performance, this distance (1)
should not exceed 25 in. (635 mm).
- Dimension (2) should be at least 30 in (762 mm). The
range hood should be approximately the same size as
the cook top.
2. If the bottom of the cabinet (3) above the location where the
range hood is to be installed is recessed, attach appropriately
sized wood ller strips (4) on each side using wood screws.
3. Screws are provided to secure the range hood to most types
of cabinets, but consult a qualied installer to verify that the
supplied screws are suitable for your cabinets.
4. Put a thick, protective covering over your counter, cooktop,

Pre-Installation (continued)
FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES WHEN INSTALLING DUCT WORK:
- Your venting system must vent to the outdoors either horizontally through the back wall (13) or vertically through
the roof (14) (refer to Fig. 5/Fig. 6/Fig. 7).
- Use round metal duct work with a uniform diameter of 177 mm (7 in). The total duct run in the venting system
should not be more than 10.7 m (35 ft).
- Calculate the total effective length of the duct work by adding the equivalent lengths in the table shown (Fig. 9).
For each tting used add the length of the equivalent straight duct used in the system.
- Fasten all connections between pieces of duct with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certied duct tape.
- If you must turn the path of the duct work using elbows, keep the number of elbows to a minimum for effective
performance and use no more than three 90° elbows. Ensure that there is a minimum of 458 mm (18 in) of
straight vent between each elbow. Elbow as far away from the range hood’s exhaust opening as possible.
- Cap the exterior of the duct with a wall cap (15) or roof cap (16). Never use 102 mm (4 in) laundry-type wall caps.
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
- The venting system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a damper, do not use the damper supplied
with the range hood.

- Do not allow oil to accumulate over
more than 80% of the lter surface. Oil
accumulations may drip oil onto the range.
- Do not wash charcoal lter. The charcoal
lter should be replaced when it is covered
in grease and has reached its maximum
absorbancy.

Troubleshooting
DANGER: Turn off the power circuit breaker or the power switch on the junction box before performing
maintenance. Touching circuitry inside the range hood while it is energized may result in serious injury or
death.
Problem Solution
The range hood does not operate.
- Check that the power supply cable and all electrical wiring are properly
connected.
- Check that the power is turned on at the junction box or circuit breaker.
- Check that the wiring between the switch control and the control board
are connected properly.
The range hood vibrates when the fan is
operating.
- Check that the range hood has been secured properly. Tighten into
position, if necessary.
- Check that the motor is secured in place. If not, then tighten the motor in
place.
- Check that the fan is not damaged. If so, replace the fan.
The fans seem weak.
- Check that the duct size used is at least 177 mm (7 in) round. The range
hood will not function efciently with insufcient duct size.
- Check that the duct is not clogged with debris and the tight mesh on the
wall cap, if applicable, isn’t restricting air ow.
- Check that the damper unit is opening properly.
- Check that no birds or animals have nested in the duct.
The lights work, but the fan is not spinning, is
stuck, or is rattling.
- The thermal protection system detects if the motor is too hot to operate
and shuts the motor down. In this case, the motor will function properly
after the thermal protection system cools down (after approximately
10 min).
- Check that the fan isn’t jammed or scraping the bottom.
- If nothing else works, the motor may be defective or seized. If so,
replace the motor.
The range hood is not venting properly.
- Check that no birds or animals have nested in the duct.
- Check that the distance between the cooktop and the bottom of the
range hood is between 458 mm (18 in) and 710 mm (28 in).
- Check that duct work follows all requirements.
Use round metal duct
work with a uniform diameter of 177 mm (7 in). The length of duct work
must not exceed
35 ft (10.7 m). Reduce the length of duct work and
the number of elbows if necessary. Ensure that all joints are properly
connected, sealed, and taped.
- Check that the duct does not open against the wind.
- Ensure that the power is on high speed for heavy cooking.
- Close all windows nearest to the range hood to eliminate sudden air gusts.
- To enhance the performance of the range hood, open slightly a window
on the opposite side of the house where the range hood vents outdoors.
A light does not work.
- Check to see if light bulb is burnt. If so, replace.
- Check the light bulb to see if it is loose. If so, tighten.
- Remove the problem bulb and insert one you know is working. If the
properly functioning light does not come on, the problem may be the light
assembly. Have the light assembly serviced or replaced.

Q: My Criterion Hood Vent button panel seems to have loosened up. When I push the buttons in they push in too far. I had a hard time getting the light button out because it was stuck in the "on" position. Can I tighten it so it doesn't push in too far? Thanks Reply
