Installation Steps:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the range hood from its packaging. Inspect for any damage and ensure all components listed in Section 3 are present. Remove any protective film from the stainless steel surfaces.
- Testing: Before permanent installation, plug the range hood into an electrical outlet to verify all functions (fan speeds, lights) are working correctly.
- Cabinet Preparation: Identify and mark the centerlines on the bottom of the cabinet where the range hood will be installed. Use the provided template to mark the cutout area. Create the necessary opening in the cabinet's underside using a jigsaw or keyhole saw.
- Ventilation Setup:
- Ducted Installation: If venting through the top or side of the cabinet, remove the tape from the duct opening. Install the damper on the duct, ensuring the vent flaps open smoothly. Connect the 6-inch round aluminum duct exhaust hose to the damper and secure it with tape or a hose clamp for a tight seal. Pull the ductwork through the cabinet hole and connect it to the exterior of the house.
- Ductless Installation: No external ductwork is required. The air will recirculate through the range hood and exit inside the cabinet. Charcoal filters will be attached to the motor in a later step.
- Mounting the Range Hood: With the assistance of at least two individuals, carefully lift and place the range hood into its ultimate position within the cabinet. Ensure the power cord is extended from the top of the range hood.
- Securing the Unit: The range hood has 8 holes (4 on each side) for fastening to the rear stud support. Create pilot holes on the front and back of the side stud support and use (8) ST4X30 screws to securely fasten the range hood to the front and rear wood stud supports. Additional support can be provided by fastening the sides to the side stud supports using (4) ST4X30 screws (2 on each side).
- Filter Installation: Remove the mesh or baffle filters. For ductless installation, attach the charcoal filters to the motor. Re-insert the mesh or baffle filters into the range hood.
- Final Connection: Connect the range hood to power. Check all functions to ensure proper operation.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your range hood.
Cleaning Baffle Filters:
The stainless steel baffle filters effectively trap grease and odor particles. For cleaning, simply remove the filters and wash them in a dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water. Ensure they are completely dry before re-inserting.
Replacing Charcoal Filters (Ductless Models):
For ductless installations, the charcoal filters purify the air before recirculating it into the kitchen. These filters are not washable and must be replaced periodically, typically every 3-6 months depending on usage. Refer to your product details for the correct charcoal filter SKU (FL-32-STG).
Exterior Cleaning:
Clean the brushed stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could scratch the surface.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your range hood, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Verify the circuit breaker has not tripped.
- Fan Not Operating: Ensure the power is on and the fan speed is selected. If the fan still doesn't work, contact customer support.
- Poor Suction: Check if the baffle filters are clean and properly installed. For ducted models, ensure the ductwork is free of obstructions and properly sealed. For ductless models, check if charcoal filters need replacement.
- Lights Not Working: Verify the light button is pressed. If lights still fail, the LED module may require replacement by a qualified technician.
- Excessive Noise: Ensure the range hood is securely mounted and all filters are correctly in place. Check for any loose components or obstructions in the fan.
