2. Safety Information
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, observe the following:
- Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
- Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel-burning equipment to prevent back-drafting.
- When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
- Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
- Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed control device.
- To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
- Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

5. Installation
Professional installation is recommended for this wall-mount range hood. Ensure all local codes and ordinances are followed. The unit requires ducted ventilation to the outdoors.
5.1 Pre-Installation Checklist
- Verify all components are present: main hood unit, chimney sections, baffle filters, mounting bracket, hardware, ducting, and remote control.
- Ensure adequate wall structure to support the weight of the range hood (approx. 45 lbs).
- Confirm electrical supply (120V) is available at the installation location.
- Plan ducting route to the exterior. The range hood is designed for exhaust (ducted) ventilation.
5.2 Mounting the Hood
- Determine the desired mounting height above the cooking surface (typically 24-30 inches for electric cooktops, 27-30 inches for gas cooktops).
- Mark the mounting points for the wall bracket and chimney support.
- Drill pilot holes and secure the wall bracket using appropriate fasteners for your wall type.
- Carefully lift the range hood onto the wall bracket.
5.3 Ducting and Electrical Connection
- Connect the ducting to the range hood's exhaust outlet and route it to the exterior vent cap. Ensure all connections are sealed to prevent air leaks.
- Connect the electrical wiring according to local electrical codes. Ensure the power supply is disconnected before making any electrical connections.
5.4 Chimney Installation
- Install the upper and lower chimney sections, ensuring they are properly aligned and secured.
- Secure the chimney support bracket to the wall.
The ducted design ensures efficient and powerful ventilation by expelling air outdoors.
