Installation
REMOVING THE ELECTRICAL KNOCKOUT HOLE
- Choose the appropriate electrical knock-out hole to remove for your installation type. Use the top hole (1) if your electrical supply is in the cabinet and the back hole (2) if your electrical supply is on the wall below the cabinet (refer to Fig. 10).
- Use a hammer and a flathead screwdriver to gently punch out the electrical knock-out hole.
INSTALLING THE DAMPER (SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU ARE USING INTERIOR VENTING)
- The damper is located inside the range hood . To access the damper, remove the bottom panel (D) if you had not already done so.
- Choose to install the damper (C) either in the top position (3) for top venting or in the back position (5) for back venting .
- Attach damper (C) over knockout opening. Make sure the damper pivot is oriented on top such that the damper stays closed when not in use .
- Lift the lid (8) of the damper and screw the damper (C) to the range hood (A) with the short tapping screws (BB).
- Seal the damper to the range hood (A) on all four sides with duct tape
REMOVING THE VENTING HOLE (FOR EXTERIOR VENTING)
- Choose the venting hole to remove for your installation type. Use the top hole (3) for a top venting installation and the back hole (5) for a back venting installation.
- Carefully remove the cover (3 or 5) of the appropriate venting hole using a flat head screwdriver or needle nose pliers (refer Fig. 11). Be careful not to leave any debris inside the range hood (A).
(FOR INTERIOR VENTING)

- Turn off the range hood and disconnect the power .
- Replace with an equivalent filter, then reconnect the power .
REPLACING LIGHT BULBS
When light bulbs burn out, replace them with a 40W E26 base light bulb .
- Turn off the range hood, disconnect it from its power source, and ensure that the lights are cool
- Turn the bulb counter-clockwise and pull it out to remove it .
- Push in the new bulb and turn it clockwise . Do not release the bulb until you are sure the bulb has been securely installed . Then reconnect the power .
- If new bulbs do not operate, ensure that they are inserted correctly .
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 will result in death or serious injury
WARNING:
- Failure to replace worn-out or damaged filters will increase the risk of fire.
- Light bulbs can become hot when turned on . Do not touch bulbs until they are switched off and cooled . Touching hot bulbs could cause serious burns
Care and Cleaning
RANGE HOOD
The range hood should be cleaned (regularly internally and externally) to preserve its appearance and performance.
Do:
- Always clean in the direction of the grain (original polish lines).
- Clean the range hood periodically with hot, soapy water and a clean cotton cloth .
- Always rinse well with clean water two or three times after cleaning . Wipe completely dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth.
- After cleaning, you may polish with a nonabrasive stainless steel polish or cleaner . Always rub lightly and with the grain
- Ensure that the venting system is free of debris, if you have one
- Always clean in the direction of the grain (original polish lines).
- Clean the range hood periodically with hot, soapy water and a clean cotton cloth .
- Always rinse well with clean water two or three times after cleaning . Wipe completely dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth.

- Combustible products used for cleaning such as acetone, alcohol, ether, or benzol are highly explosive and should never be used close to a range or stove
FILTER
The filter fitted by the factory is intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking. You do not need to replace them on a regular basis, but you should keep them clean
Do:
- Clean the filter once a month using nonabrasive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher . When using a dishwasher, set the dishwasher to a low temperature and a short cycle setting. The filter may become discolored in a dishwasher, but this does not affect its performance .
- Allow filters to completely dry before reinstalling them in the range hood
Do Not:
- Do not allow oil to accumulate over more than 80% of the filter surface. Oil accumulations may drip oil onto the range .
- Do not wash the charcoal filter. The charcoal filter should be replaced when it is covered in grease and has reached its maximum absorbency
Troubleshooting
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 efficiently with insufficient duct size. - Check that the duct is not clogged with debris and the tight mesh on the wall cap, if applicable, isn’t restricting airflow. - 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 ductwork follows all requirements . Use round metal duct work with a uniform diameter of 177 mm (7 in). The length of ductwork 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 |
