4. Installation Instructions
This range hood can be installed in either a ducted (vented to the outside) or ductless (recirculating) configuration. Ensure you have the necessary tools and follow all local building codes.
4.1 Ducted Installation
For ducted installation, the range hood vents air directly outside your home through a duct system. This method offers the most effective removal of smoke, odors, and grease.
- Prepare the Wall: Mark the mounting points for the hood and chimney bracket. Ensure the wall is structurally sound to support the weight of the unit.
- Cut Duct Opening: Create an opening in the wall or ceiling for the 6-inch round duct.
- Mount the Hood: Secure the main hood body to the wall using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure it is level.
- Connect Ducting: Attach the flexible ducting to the top exhaust outlet of the hood and extend it to the exterior vent cap. Ensure all connections are sealed to prevent air leaks.
- Install Chimney: Assemble and install the adjustable chimney sections, sliding them over the ducting and securing them to the wall bracket.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the range hood to a grounded electrical outlet according to local electrical codes.
4.2 Ductless (Recirculating) Installation
For ductless installation, the air is filtered through optional carbon filters (sold separately, Part # USGDCF-Y) and recirculated back into the kitchen. This is suitable when external venting is not feasible.
- Prepare for Carbon Filters: Purchase and install the appropriate carbon filters onto the motor housing inside the hood.
- Mount the Hood: Secure the main hood body to the wall using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure it is level.
- Install Chimney: Assemble and install the adjustable chimney sections. Ensure the top chimney section has vents to allow filtered air to re-enter the room.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the range hood to a grounded electrical outlet according to local electrical codes.

- Speed 1 (Low): Ideal for light cooking, simmering, or maintaining air quality.
- Speed 2 (Medium): Suitable for general cooking and moderate smoke/odor.
- Speed 3 (High): For heavy cooking, frying, or when significant smoke and odors are present.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your range hood.
6.1 Cleaning the Mesh Filters
The 5-layer reusable aluminum mesh filters effectively trap grease and cooking odors. Clean them regularly (ideally every 3-6 weeks, depending on cooking frequency) to maintain airflow and efficiency.
- Remove Filters: Gently push the latch on each filter and pull downwards to remove them from the hood.
- Clean Filters: Wash the filters in warm, soapy water or place them in a dishwasher. For stubborn grease, a degreasing agent can be used.
- Dry and Reinstall: Allow filters to dry completely before reinstalling them into the hood.

6.2 Cleaning the Exterior Surface
Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can scratch the surface.
6.3 Replacing Carbon Filters (Ductless Only)
If using the ductless configuration, the carbon filters (Part # USGDCF-Y) should be replaced every 3-6 months, depending on usage. Refer to the carbon filter packaging for specific replacement instructions.
7. Troubleshooting
Review the following common issues and solutions before contacting customer support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hood does not operate | No power supply | Check if the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker is on. |
| Poor suction performance | Clogged grease filters | Clean or replace the mesh filters. |
| Improper ducting (ducted models) | Ensure ducting is properly installed, sealed, and not obstructed. Check that backdraft dampers open freely. | |
| Saturated carbon filters (ductless models) | Replace carbon filters. | |
| Excessive noise | Loose components or motor imbalance | Ensure all mounting screws are tight. Contact customer support if noise persists. |
| LED lights not working | Faulty LED module or connection | Check connections. If lights are still not working, contact customer support for replacement. |
