If moving the cooking range is necessary to install the hood, turn OFF the power on an electric range at the main
electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE MOVING A GAS RANGE
STEP 7
Create Exterior Ventilation (New Installation Only)
 Choose one of the exterior venting methods shown on Page 11.
 Create the exterior ventilation hole.
 Following recommendations and calculations specied on Pages 10 to 11, use new aluminum/metal ducting cut
specically for the distance between the range hood damper and the exterior damper.
 Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certied aluminum or foil tape.
 Please check the building codes in your city to learn which tape product is recommended.
STEP 8
Install Ductwork
 Use the tool to punch the wiring hole, from the 2 options for holes. Please choose hole A or hole B accordingly to wiring
requirement. (Figure #1)
 Loosen 2 screws of electronic box, connect cable to range hood wiring using included wire connectors. Connect
BLACK to BLACK, WHITE to WHITE and GREEN or BARE WIRE to GREEN ground screw. DO NOT FORGET TO
CONNECT THE GROUND. (Figure #2)

25.4 cm) rectangle.
NOTE: Please only punch the vent hole you want to use. Do not punch more than 1 vent hole, otherwise, the air
power suction will be greatly affected.
Top venting using 6 in. round damper
 If you require 6 in. round venting, keep the unit as provided in the packaging and install the round damper provided;
Below gures #4, #5 and #6 show how to punch the 6 in. round venting.
 Then put the rectangle bracket to the top and xed by screws, position 6 in. damper on top of the unit and set in place
with screws provided (Figure #7).

Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will ensure proper performance of the unit.
Use a warm detergent solution. Grease lters are dishwasher safe.
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help preserve its appearance.
Cleaning tips:
 Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually required.
 Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.
 For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder
with a little water and a soft cloth.
 For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush with cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of
polishing lines or “grain” of the stainless nish. Avoid using too much pressure, which may mar the surface.
 DO NOT allow deposits to remain on surface for long periods of time.
 DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface causing rust.
 DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel
for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after
exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.

Use and Care Information
Operations
 Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual before operating the appliance. Save these
instructions for future reference.
 Always leave safety grills and lters in place. Without these components, operating fans could catch on to hair, ngers
and loose clothing.
 NEVER dispose cigarette ashes, ignitable substances, or any foreign objects into fans.
 NEVER leave cooking unattended. When frying, oil in the pan can easily overheat and catch re. The risk of self
combustion is higher when the oil has been used several times.

grease and residue build-up at all times to prevent possible res.
 Filters must be cleaned periodically and free from accumulation of cooking residue (see Cleaning Instructions below).
Old and worn lters must be replaced immediately.
 DO NOT operate fans when lters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper instructions.
Disassembly is recommended to be performed by qualied personnel only. Read and understand all instructions and
warnings in this manual before proceeding.
SAFETY WARNING: Never put your hand into area housing the fan while the fan is operating!
For optimal operation, clean range hood and all bafe/spacer/lter/grease tray/oil container regularly. Regular care
will help preserve the appearance of the range hood.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces
 Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. DO NOT use corrosive or abrasive detergent (e.g. Comet
Power Scrub®, EZ-Off® oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads, which will scratch and damage the stainless steel
surface. For heavier soil use liquid degrease such as “Formula 409®” or “Fantastic®” brand cleaner.
 If hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the hood. Avoid getting
cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions of the stainless steel cleaner. CAUTION: DO NOT
leave on too long as this may cause damage to hood nish. Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently
rub off any stubborn spots. Use dry soft towel to dry the hood.
 After cleaning, you may use non abrasive stainless steel polish such as 3M® or ZEP®, to polish and buff out the
stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain.
 DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.
 DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause rusting.
 DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel
for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals, which may be harmful.
 Rinse with water after exposure to these compounds and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
