1. This appliance was designed for ease of installation and operation. However, we recommend that you read all
sections of this manual before you begin installation.
2. Do not remove permanently affixed labels, warnings or data plates from your appliance. This may void the
manufacturer’s warranty and/or hinder effective servicing and maintenance. These instructions are to remain with
the appliance and the consumer is to retain them for future reference.
3. Please observe all local and national build codes and ordinances. If no local codes are applicable, please follow all
wiring requirements in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
4. Please check your local codes for any make-up air requirements.
5. This hood is for residential use only and is not designed for installation over a commercial product.
IMPORTANT
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury observe the following:
• Use this unit in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
• Before cleaning or servicing unit, turn power off to the unit at the service panel.
• Installation work and electrical work must be performed by qualified individuals in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
• Do not damage any existing electrical or hidden utilities when drilling, cutting and/or removing a wall, ceiling or floor.
• Sufficient air is required to properly exhaust gases through the flue of natural and liquid propane fueled cooking
equipment to avoid any backdrafts.
• Use only metal ductwork. Do not use flexible or corrugated duct.
• Never vent ducted exhaust air into another room or garage. Ducted exhaust air must vent outdoors.
WARNING
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• If a fire should occur, do not turn on hood to evacuate smoke. Turn off hood.
• Do not use to exhaust hazardous, flammable or explosive materials.
• Clean baffle filters often, since accumulated grease can be a fire hazard and affect the performance of your
ventilation hood.
WARNING
Handling:
• Do not remove the hood from original packaging until you are ready to install.
• Remove all watches, belt buckles, jewelry, rings and any clothing with metal buttons or snaps to prevent damage to
the hood.
• When you begin the installation process, remove the hood from its original packaging and place on a clean, non-
abrasive blanket.
• When removing the hood from the carton, locate the filters since they could be packed separately.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5
Unpacking:
• Ensure the container is upright. If the container is not upright, major damage can occur to your appliance.
• Move the container as close to its installation location as possible. This will reduce moving and handling your
appliance once it is out of its shipping container.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this ventilation unit only with manufacturer approved blowers. This
includes blowers rated maximum 8.4 amps – remote or combined integral blowers. Your ventilation hood is designed
to work specifically with the integral or remote blower requested.
CAUTION
In selecting the proper height to mount the hood, take
into consideration the stature of the person or persons
who will be cooking. A minimum height of 30” off the
cooking surface to a maximum height of 36” will suit
most users. It is recommended, but not required, that
the hood be 6” wider than the cooking appliance to
provide a proper capture area for heat and grease.
The bottom of the hood should be 30” minimum to 36”
maximum above the countertop. This would typically
result in the bottom of the hood being 66” – 72” above
the floor. The bottom of the hood should never be more
than 72” above the floor or more than 36” above the
countertop. These dimensions provide safe and
efficient operation of the hood.

Installation of Ducting for Proper Operation:
Proper installation of ducting is extremely important for optimal performance of your ventilation system. It is a basic
requirement that the kitchen is provided with an air intake to ensure good air circulation and, therefore, proper operation
of the hood. Without this incoming air, a depression could form that would reduce the efficiency of the ventilation
system.
• Be sure to follow local building codes for electrical, structural, general HVAC, and make-up air requirements.
• If duct shape is changed along path (round to square), the cross-sectional area must not be reduced.
• The duct run should be kept under 30 feet for a straight run. For every 90 degree turn in the duct run, subtract 5 feet
from the total (25’ for a duct run with 1 elbow, 20’ for a duct run with 2 elbows, and so on). Longer runs will result in
decreased performance and possible noise concerns.
• Avoid sharp-angled turns. Use smooth gradual turns, such as adjustable elbows or 45-degree angled turns.
• Airflow must not be restricted at the end of the duct run.
• A backflow damper is not provided. It should be sourced locally and sized for your specific duct work.
• Duct should terminate to an outdoor space above the roof line or outside a side wall of the building. Do not
terminate the run into an attic or chimney.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Specifications:
This hood is designed to be plugged into a dedicated 3-
prong ANSI or Non-GFCI outlet – 120Volt, 60Hz, 1Ph,
10amp. min.
Outlet location: Confirm with local building codes for
accessibility requirements. The outlet may be
positioned above the hood shell to provide access for
the cord along the duct exhaust. Ensure the outlet will
not be obstructed by the duct work. The power cord will
extend up to 36” from the top of the liner.
Depending on specific installation conditions,
access to the outlet may be difficult.
If an appropriate outlet is not available or is inconvenient
due to the specific installation, the power cord may be
removed at the liner’s junction box, and the hood may
be direct wired to a dedicated non-GFCI 120V, 60Hz,
1Ph, 10amp min circuit. Use 14-2 MC shielded cable or
equivalent, unless directed otherwise by local building
codes.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Models starting with “MH”
1. Follow Step 2 of installation instructions on removing liner
from outer shell.
2. The hood is provided with a preinstalled 3-prong cord to
provide power to the hood and blower.
• If an appropriate outlet is not accessible due to the
installation location, the power cord may be removed at the
liner’s junction box, and the hood may be direct wired to a
dedicated, standard non-GFCI 120V, 10A min circuit.
3. If installing a remote blower (HYEX or ATEX), the blower box
at the base of the duct cover and the transition piece may be
removed and discarded. A separate back-draft damper will
need to be added to the ductwork. The duct work will need to
extend fully into the top of the hood shell and connect to the
liner’s 10” dia. outlet collar. Ensure power cable from remote
blower is routed in space between duct cover and the exhaust
duct, and additional length is provided at the base to allow
connection to the hood’s harness.
4. Four pieces of full-length, 3/8” dia. threaded rod (not
provided) are necessary to secure the hood shell and
associated duct cover to structural framing in the ceiling
above the hood shell. The threaded rod must pass through
the framing or blocking in the ceiling and be secured with a
washer and nut on either side to prevent the threaded rod
from moving up or down. The rod may be in multiple sections
to ease installation but must be appropriately coupled at the
joints between members. It should pass through the holes in
the duct cover at all 4 corners, then through the holes in the
hood shell, and secured with washers and nuts inside the
hood shell. Any excess length will need to be trimmed off to
avoid interference with the liner when it is reinstalled.
5. Ensure the lower hood shell is level, then anchor it to the wall.
Lag screws into the wall behind the hood are only needed in
the lower portion of the hood to keep it tight to the wall. Holes
are provided, but additional holes may be added to provide
alignment with structural framing members behind the
wallboard.
6. For in-hood blower(s):
a. Mount the blower(s) into duct cover / internal blower
box using hardware provided.
b. Plug the connector(s) from the liner’s harness into the
blower(s)
7. For remote blower, connect cable from blower to the 3-
position terminal on the liner’s harness. (See step 4.5)
8. Re-install liner using Step 5 from installation instructions.
Take care to route power cord and blower cables to avoid
pinching during liner reinstallation.

The function of the baffle filters is the absorption of grease particles that form during cooking. Do not operate
ventilation hood without filters in hood. Baffle filters should be examined periodically to assure that the
surfaces and parts are clean.
IMPORTANT
USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Baffle Filters
Removing Baffle Filters:
• Hold both handles located on the filter.
• Pull towards front of hood to depress spring system.
• Pull back of filter down and away from hood.
Removing Grease Trough:
Grease trough is located at base of baffle filters in rear of hood (Figure 1).
• Turn wing fastener(s) ¼ turn to release.
• Pull trough towards front of hood careful not to spill contents inside.
Removing Inner Shield:
Inner shield is located behind baffle filters (Figure 2).
• Remove screws attaching shield to ventilation hood liner.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Cleaning Baffle Filters and Grease Trough:
The baffle filters are dishwasher safe or can be cleaned in a sink with warm, soapy water. Do not use caustic
detergent to clean the filters. Abrasive cleaners may harm or damage the finish. Do not disassemble the
baffle filter. Disassembly will void the warranty.
The grease trough should be cleaned with dish soap and warm water. Depending on the size of the hood, it
may be cumbersome to wash the tray in a kitchen sink. Spraying with a grease cutting cleaner for kitchen use
and rinsing with a garden hose in an open area may be the easiest way to clean the tray. Be sure to rinse
thoroughly and allow to dry completely before reinstalling.
Your hood must be kept clean and maintained properly
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, or abrasive cloths.
• Do not allow grease to accumulate. For best results, wipe the canopy down with a soft cloth and warm,
soapy water.
• The cleaning of the outside of the hood depends on the material used as a decorative exterior. See
following details for hood specific material cleaning instructions.
• Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemicals to clean the interior or exterior of the hood.
Cleaning Interior and Exterior:
18
USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Cleaning the Interior
Clean the interior of the hood using a soft cloth and warm soapy water or denatured alcohol as needed. Do not
clean the electrical parts or blower with liquids or solvents. Allow to dry thoroughly before restoring power.
Cleaning the Exterior
It is important to follow the direction of the metal grain with the cloth. Do not use chemical solvents, aggressive,
grainy or abrasive products or similar products that could damage the surface of the hood. Test in an
inconspicuous location if you are concerned about a particular cleaner. For various finishes, see details below.
• Brushed or Polished Stainless Steel
Clean the exterior of brushed stainless-steel hoods using a soft cloth and quality stainless steel cleaner or
warm soapy water. Follow all label instructions. Do not polish across the grain or in circles.
• Painted with Gloss Finish
Clean the exterior of hood painted with a gloss finish using a soft cloth and quality glass cleaner or warm
soapy water. Follow all label instructions.
• Designer Metals (Brushed Brass, Brushed Copper, Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Pewter and Oil
Rubbed Bronze)
These Designer Metals are treated with a protective clear coat that will prevent them from aging or
discoloring over time. This clear coat will last the life of the hood unless removed by the homeowner.
Clean with a microfiber cloth using Endust, Pledge or similar cleaner. Harsh cleaners such as Brite Boy
will remove the clear coat and the metals will start to age.
• Designer Metals (Polished Brass and Polished Copper)
These Designer Metals are not treated with a protective coating due to a “rainbow” effect it causes on the
metal. These finishes will patina over time without care and need occasional cleaning. Clean with a
microfiber cloth using Endust, Pledge or similar cleaner for regular cleaning. For tough blemishes Brite
Boy can be used with a microfiber cloth, but due to this product being slightly abrasive this should only be
used in select situations.

For cleaning the hood, it is recommended to use a soft cloth and a solution of warm soapy water. It is important
that the soap does not contain granules that could scratch the surface. Follow the direction of the metal grain with
the cloth. The cloth must have no buttons or fasteners that could scratch the surface. Do not use chemical
solvents, aggressive, grainy or abrasive products or similar products that could damage the surface of the hood.
Test in an inconspicuous location if you are concerned about a particular cleaner.
Turn off power at the service panel prior to cleaning the hood.
