SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbols. These symbols alert you to potential hazards
that can hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert
symbols.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERATING THIS APPLIANCE.
• The installation instructions in this manual are intended for qualified installers, service technicians,
or persons with similar qualified background. Installation and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified professionals and in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including
first-rated construction. DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could result from
installing the unit due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical background. Due to the siz
e
a
nd weight of this range hood, two people installation is recommended.
• Range hood may have very sharp edges; please wear protective gloves if it is necessary to
remove any parts for installing, cleaning, or servicing.
• Activating any switch ON before completing installation may cause ignition or an explosion.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURE TO PERSONS, PLEASE
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWINGS:
• Your safety and the safety of others is very important. We have provided many important safety
messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. All
safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of
injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
• All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated, and grounded.
• Old duct work should be cleaned or replaced, if necessary, to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.
Check all joints on duct work to insure proper connection, all joints should be properly taped.
• When the range hood ventilates the air out of the room, the air vented must be replaced, this is
called make-up air. If a makeup air system is needed, but not used, a hood may not function as
expected due to negative air pressure. We do not currently provide a make-up air unit. Always
consult any applicable building codes in your area regarding minimum and maximum air flow
rates. Certain states may require additional items such as make-up air for larger CFM range
hoods (typically over 300 CFM).
• To reduce the risk of fire and to disperse air properly, make sure to vent air outside. DO NOT vent
exhaust into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceilings, attics, or garages.
• For residential ventilating use only. DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and
vapors. The combustion air flow needed for safe operation of fuel-burning equipment may be
affected by this unit’s operation. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and
safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and
the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and
the local code authorities. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases
through the duct to prevent back drafting.
• Ducted range hoods MUST ALWAYS be vented to the outdoors. All our range hoods come with a
transition piece with a built-in damper. Some existing installations may already have an external
d
amper. Please consult an HVAC or installation professional for advice to comply with loca
l
regulat
ions.
• Keep all fans, baffle, spaces, filter, grease tunnel, oil container and grease-laden surfaces clean.
Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, baffle, spaces, filter, grease tunnel or oil
container. Clean grease-laden surfaces frequently.
• This appliance is design to be operated by adults. Children were not allowed to temper with the
controls or play with this appliance.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control
device.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
• Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power OFF at service panel and lock service panel t
o
p
revent power from being switched ON accidentally.
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact
the FORNO.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A STOVE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
• All FORNO range hoods are ETL listed, ensuring all parts were tested for safety and meet
industry standards and regulations. NOTE: This ensures all included metal ducting pieces wer
e
t
ested for safety and are flame retardant.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods (Crepes Suzette
,
C
herries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe). Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low
or medium settings.
• Clean hood frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
INSTALLATION & USE
NOTE 1: On stainless steel hoods, carefully remove the plastic protective film (if have) from all exterior
surfaces of the hood and chimney prior to final installation
NOTE 2: At least two people will be required to mount the hood.

flue shall secure to the ceiling joist or framework.
• Ductwork needs to be installed at the top of the unit where the motor(s) exhaust.
• Duct runs should be as short as possible.
• Avoid the use of elbows.
• Use duct tape at all joints.
• Do not use duct smaller than the discharge on the hood.
Electrical Connection
• Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards. Turn off electrical power at service entrance before wiring.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or
similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.

MOUNT HEIGHTS & CLEARANCE
The minimum mounting height between range
top to hood bottom should be no less than 30”.
The maximum height should be 36" above the
c
ooktop (**please note that the 36”, 48” &
60”
unit can install up to 42" above the
cooktop, but it may result in a loss of
efficiency)
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.
Ducting (not provided)
NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into
spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling,
attics, or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to
the outside. Use Metal ductwork only. Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all
joints w/ certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.

DUCT
SIZE
A minimum of φ 6” for 30” & 10’’ for 36”, 48’’ and 60’’
round duct must be used to maintain maximum
airflow efficiency.
Flexible ducts are provided for convenience, always
use rigid type metal ducts to maximize airflow.
Also use calculation (on left) to compute total
available duct run when using elbows, transitions,
and caps.
ALWAYS, reduce the number of transitions and
turns. If required a long duct increase duct size from
6” to 8” for the 30” & from 10” to 12” for the 36”, 48”
and 60”.
If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of
pancake reducer. Reduce duct size as far away
from opening as possible.
If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away
from opening and as far apart, between 2, as
possible

OTE: Air Outlet Adapter on the FRHWM5094-30 is pre-installed on the unit.
• Lay out the vent duct system before installing the range hood to determine the best routing for the
vent duct.
• It is recommended that the vent system be installed before the range hood is installed.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling for exhaust vent.
• Range hood is to be installed 30" min. from cooking surfaces.
• Check your ceiling height and the range hood height maximum before you install your hood.
• At least two p
eople will be required to mount the hood
RANGE HOOD INSTALLATION
1. Find the center of the wall where you are installing
the hood. NOTES: Be sure there is sufficient bracing
to hold the weight of the unit. Draw a vertical line on
the supporting wall up to the ceiling, or as high as
practical, at the center of the area in which the hood
will be installed. Figure 1.
2. Draw a horizontal line at desired height (min 30”
above the cooktop). Figure 1.
3. Place the hood on the wall with the center to the
Figure 1.
vertical reference line and make sure the bottom part of the hood aligns with the horizontal line.
With the range in position, mark the wall at the center of the holes in the bracket and remove the
hood from the wall. Finally drill the holes and fix the expansion bolt. NOTES: Make sure you are
leaving the heads out
¼” to mount the hood. Figure 2.
4. Attach the hood body to the mounting screws on the wall. NOTES: Make sure the mounting screws
are properly leveled before tightening the screws. Figure 3.
Figure 2.
Figure

5. Place chimney mounting brackets
on the wall 1/8” from the ceiling or
upper limit aligning the center with
the vertical reference line. Figure 4.
6. Fix the two brackets (Chimney
mounting bracket and Decorative
frame bracket) using the mounting
screws and drywall anchors. Figure

DUCT INSTALLATION
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use
metal ductwork only.
7. Install the air outlet adapter over
the hood with the provided screws
(φ 6” for 30” & 10’’ for 36’’,48’’ and
60’’). Figure 5.
Figure 4.
8.
Make your ducting and electrical connections. You will need to minimize the use of elbows, since
elbows and longer duct create higher static pressure. (See Connections section)
9. Connect the duct with the air outlet adapter by using foil-backed tape to seal the joints and to hold
it in place. Figure 6.
Figure 5. Figure 6.
1/8”
NOTE: PLACE THE POWER OUTLET AND POWER CORD BEHIND THE CHIMNEY. SHOWN
BELLOW.
Figure 7.
CONNECTIONS
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use metal ductwork is preferred.
1.
Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and
the outside.
2.
A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most
efficiently.
3.
Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the
performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible.
Larger ducting may be required for best performance with
longer duct runs.
4.
The air must not be discharge into a flue that is used for
exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels"
"Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
5.
Install a roof/wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap
and work back towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the
joints between ductwork sections.
CHIMNEY ASSEMBLY

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Surface Maintenance:
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive
detergent (e.g., comet powder scrub, EZ-Off oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads which will
scratch and damage surface.
For heavier soil use liquid degreaser such as ‘Formula 409’ or ‘Fantastic’ brand cleaner.
After cleaning, you may use nonabrasive stainless-steel polish/cleaners 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
Filters:
The Filters fitted by the factory are intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking. It need not be
replaced on a regular basis but are required to be kept clean.
Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use.
Remove and clean by hand in a basin of hot soapy water. The filter is also dishwasher safe.
If heavily soiled, spray ‘Formula 409’ or equivalent degreasing detergent and leave to soak.
Dry filters and re-install before using hood.
Hood Cleaning
The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and filters may cause increased inflammability. Always
keep unit clean and free of grease and residue build-up to prevent possible fires.
Filters must be cleaned periodically and free from accumulation of cooking residue (see cleaning
instructions inside). Old and worn filters must be replaced immediately. Do not operate blowers when
filters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper instructions. Disassembly is
recommended to be performed by qualified personnel only. Call our service center for removal
instructions.
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help preserve its fine
appearance.
Cleaning tips:
* Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
* Rinse 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 amount of water and a soft cloth.
* For stubborn stain, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with cleanser and water.
Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or “grain” of the stainless finish. Avoid using too muc
h
p
ressure that may mar the surface.
* Do not allow deposits to remain 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 that 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.
LIGHT bulbs
WARNING: Please ensure lights have been switched off for some time and the power source has been
disconnected before replacing any globes. Please be aware that the light will retain heat for
a short period of time after being switched off.
Step 1: Turn anti-clockwise to open
Step 2: Take the existing globe out
Step 3: Insert a new globe (1.5W GU10 LED) and turn clockwise in lock position
TROUBLESHOOTING
My hood is operating, but the air is moving slower than normal.
Check the filter for buildup and clean or replace it if needed. If the difficulty persists, check for
obstructions in the ductwork. A common obstruction is buildup in the roof or wall cap, such as: bird
nests or other debris.
What is make-up air?
When the range hood ventilates the air out of the room, the air vented must be replaced, this is called
make-up air. We do not currently provide a make-up air unit. NOTE: Always consult any applicable
building codes in your area regarding minimum and maximum air flow rates. Certain states may
require additional items such as make-up air for larger CFM range hoods (typically over 300 CFM).
My range hood will not operate.
1
. Check that there is power to the range hood. The most common issue is that the circui
t
b
reaker is off, or the fuse has blown.
2. Make sure the speed has been selected at the range hood controls.
3. Turn off power to the range hood and check that all the wires are properly connected.
My range hood is making a rattling noise.
This is probably attributed to one of the following:
1. The motor is loose – Turn off the power and remove the filter and check that all screws are
secure and tight around the motor.
2. The duct work connection is loose – Turn off the power to the unit and check that the
ductwork connection to the pipe is tight. Add duct tape is necessary.
My range hood does not have power.
1. Check e
lectrical connections.
2. Check that all connections to the circuit board are secure.
3. If the problem persists, please contact Forno Technical Support.
My range hood is not pulling.
• Was the unit plugged in and was the fan checked before installation?
• What distance is the hood mounted above the cook top?
• Is the range hood width the correct size for the cook top?
• Does the hood have enough BTU output in relationship to either their gas or electric stove cook
top?
• BTU output per burner/100 - for gas
• Wattage output per burner/10 - for electric
• Are the baffle filters or mesh filters installed correctly? When were they last cleaned?
• Is the ducting clear?
• Is the damper opening properly once the hood is turned on?
• Is there air coming off the top of the hood?
• Is there air coming out of the upper chimney section?
• When tissue is placed on the baffle filters under the hood, does it hold the tissue?
• How many elbows and how long is the ducting run?
• Should be no more than 2-3 elbows, for every elbow subtract 15 feet. (See Duct Run
Calculation Section).
