All range hoods have a recommended range of installation height over the cooking
surface.
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too
low could result in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods mounted too high will
be hard to reach and will lose its performance and efficiency.

THIS HOOD IS DESIGNED TO USE A 6” or 7” ROUND DUCT -
IT MAY BE TRANSITIONED TO A 3-1/4” X 10” RECTANGULAR DUCT
NEVER REDUCE DUCT SIZE. UNDERSIZED DUCTING SEVERELY RESTRICTS AIR
FLOW AND HARMS PERFORMANCE.
(Example: the area of a 6” Duct is more than TWICE that of a 4” Duct)
KEEP DUCT RUNS AS SHORT AND STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE.
AVOID USING FLEXIBLE METAL DUCTING IF RUN IS LONGER THAN 6’.
NEVER USE PLASTIC DUCTING.
USE SMOOTH BORE METAL DUCTING.
MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF FITTINGS (see chart).
WHEN YOU MUST USE FITTINGS, TRY TO SEPARATE THEM WITH SECTIONS OF
3’ OR MORE OF STRAIGHT DUCT.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S GUIDELINES FOR THE COOKING
EQUIPMENT YOU ARE VENTING.
IF MAKE UP AIR CONTROL DAMPERS ARE REQUIRED, POSITION THE SENSOR
IN A STRAIGHT RUN OF DUCT IDEALLY WITH 3’ OF STRAIGHT DUCT BETWEEN
EACH SIDE OF THE SENSOR AND A DUCT FITTING. REMEMBER TO INCLUDE
POWER AND CONTROL WIRING FOR THIS IN YOUR PLANS.
ADHERE TO ALL LOCAL BUILDING CODES AND ORDINANCES.
USE THE WORKSHEET THAT FOLLOWS TO HELP CALCULATE THE
TOTAL EQUIVILENT FEET OF YOUR DUCT RUN.
TOTAL EQUIVILENT FEET SHOULD BE LESS THAN 100’.

CAUTION: TEAM LIFT - To prevent injury and/or damage to the unit
use two or more people to lift, carry or hold the hood in place while
it is being secured.
CAUTION: If venting outside, ensure the ducting is unobstructed, and
the damper is operating freely. Use smooth, rigid metal ducting only.
Determine what type of cabinet you are mounting to:
Step 6. A framed cabinet will require the installation of wooden spacers
to bring the bottom of the cabinet flush with the frame and allow the
mounting screws to fully engage.
The spacers must extend in 3-1/2”
from either side.

Do not use corrosive detergents, abrasive detergents or oven cleaners.
Do not use any product containing chlorine bleach or any product containing chloride.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive scrubbing pads which will scratch and damage surface.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Clean periodically with warm soapy water and clean cotton cloth or
micro fiber cloth. Always rub in the direction of the stainless steel grain. To remove heavier
grease build up use a liquid degreaser detergent. After cleaning use a non-abrasive stainless
steel polish/cleaners, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always rub lightly, with
a clean cotton cloth or a micro fiber cloth and buff in the direction of the stainless steel grain.
Any painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and detergent only.
If you are recirculating the

- To prevent potential fire hazards, the Stainless Steel
grease filters should be washed a minimum of every
two months (Dishwasher Safe).
- After a few washes, the filter color may change.
This does not affect performance and it does not
