IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
· Before beginning installation, please read and follow these important instructions for the safety of your home and the people living in it.
· The instructions in this manual are intended for qualified installers and certified service technicians. Installation and electrical wiring must be completed by quali fied professionals and in accordance with applicable codes and standards.
· DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could result from installing the unit due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical background.
· The installer should leave these instructions with the consumer who should retain for local inspectors' use and for future reference.
· Due to the size and weight of VIKIO range hoods, two-person installation is highly recommended. · Use care when handling the range hood, chimney cover, baffle filters, and any parts or accessories,
as sharp edges may lead to injury. Use of gloves during installation is highly recommended. · The manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage to property or to persons caused by
incorrect installation, improper use of the appliance, or failure to heed the warnings listed. · The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to its products when considered necessary
and useful, without affecting the essential safety and operating characteristics. · This appliance is designed for general 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 heating equipment guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and local code and government authorities. · Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the ducting installed with range hoods to prevent back drafting. · Before servicing or cleaning the unit, fully disconnect the hood from power to avoid risk of electric shock and injury.
2

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
· Ducted range hoods MUST ALWAYS be vented to the outdoors or in some instances converted to recirculate the air.
· Some existing installations may already have an external damper at the exit point of the home. In this case,the damper in the transition piece of your hood needs to be removed,as these two dampers work against each other and will reduce the performance of the hood.
· Please consult an HVAC or installation professional for advice to comply with local regulations and ensure appropriate ventilation.
· When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.
· All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated, andgrounded. VIKIO range hoods come with a grounded 3-prong plug that must be plugged into a dedicated 15-ampcircuit. Manipulating the plug or cutting the electrical cord will void your warranty.
· Electrical installation must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/ NPA70-latest edition
and/ or local codes.
· Old duct works hould be cleaned or replaced, ifnecessary, to avoid the possibility of a grease fire or other hazard. Check all joints on duct work to ensure proper connection; all joints should be properly taped/secured.
· When a range hood ventilates air out of the room,the vented air must be replaced; this is called makeup air. If a makeup air system is needed, but not used, a hood may not function as expected due to negative air pressure.
· VIKIO does not currently provide makeup air units. Always consult applicable building codes regarding minimum and maximum airflow rates.Certain states mayr equire additional items such as makeup air for larger CFM range hoods.
· Keep the motor, fans, baffle channels, filters, tunnels, greasecups, and grease-laden surface sclean. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate inside or on the surface ofthe range hood; clean surfaces frequently.
· Take care when cleaning the range hood in spray form:never direct spray of water or cleaners onto the electrical wiring, motor, button panel, or light bulbs.
· After installation, use a stainless steel cleaning product or wipe to eliminate any residues from protective film after removal.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the customer's responsibility: · To contact a qualified electrician · To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22. 2 No. 0-M91 - latest edition** and all local codes and ordinances. If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate. A 120-Volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, fused electrical supply is required on a separate 15-amp circuit. DO NOT ground to a gas pipe. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure that the range hood is properly grounded. DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. IMPORTANT: Save this Installation Guide for electrical inspector's use. The range hood must be connected with copper wire/plug only. The range hood should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper cable. A U.L. - or C.S.A. - listed strain relief must be provided at each end of the power supply cable. Wire sizes (copper wire only) and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance as specified on the model/serial rating label. Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and C22. 2 No. 0-M91 - latest edition** and all local codes and ordinances. A U.L. - or C.S.A. - listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the range hood and at the junction box). · Duct system must terminate to the outside (roof or side wall). · DO NOT terminate the duct system in an attic or other enclosed area. · DO NOT use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps. · Use metal/aluminum duct only. Rigid metal/aluminum vent is recommended. · DO NOT use plastic duct. · Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow. · Calculate the following figures before installation: 1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling. 2. Distance from countertop/stove to range hood (recommend* 24" to 30"). 3. Height of hood and duct cover.
4

VENTING REQUIREMENTS
For the most efficient & quiet operation: · A distance of 24" to 30" is recommended* between stove top and the bottom of range hood. · It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof through 6" or
bigger round metal/aluminum duct work. · The size of the duct should be uniform. · Use no more than three 90° elbows. · Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight duct between the elbows if more
than one elbow is used. · DO NOT install two elbows together. · The length of duct system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide
efficient performance. · The duct system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT use
damper (if supplied) on top of the range hood. · Use aluminum foil tape to seal all joints in the duct system. · Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
USE 6" ROUND ROOF OR RECTANGULAR WALL VENT CAP.
IMPORTANT: · Use a rectangular to circular transition to connect range hood to ducting system. · A minimum of a 6" round duct (standard for this range hood) must be used to maintain
maximum airflow efficiency. · Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airflow when connecting
to provided duct. · Please use Duct Run Calculation below to compute total available duct run when using
elbows, transitions and caps. · ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns in the duct run.
If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer. Reducing the duct size will restrict airflow and decrease efficiency. · If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as possible. · Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 24". · Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no higher than 30". · 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 loose its performance and efficiency. · If available,also refer to stove top manufacturer's height clearance requirement sand recommended hood mounting height above range.
Minimum Duct Size: · Round - 6" (use Aluminimum foil tape to properly seal)
* Due to different ceiling height configurations, recommended height may not be applicable.

CALCULATING VENT SYSTEM LENGTH
To calculate the length of the duct system you require, subtract the equivalent feet for each "Duct piece" (Table Below) used in the system from the "Recommended maximum run" (Table Below). The longest duct run that is acceptable (if completely straight) is 50 feet. The number of duct pieces (elbow, transition, etc.) installed in your duct run will determine the maximum length the duct run can be. Please refer to the example below:

Duct Run Calculation: Recommended maximum run 6" round duct
Duct piece deduction Each 90º elbow used Each 45º elbow used Each round to rectangle transition used Side wall cap with damper Roof cap

Duct Run Calcuation example:
One roof cap, two 90º elbows, and one 45º 50 ft elbow used:
7ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 30ft used. 9 ft The above duct pieces used are equivalent to 5 ft 30ft of a straight duct run. Subtract 30ft from the 7 ft allowable 50ft. The remaining distance of 20ft
is the longest that the straight ducting (in addition 7 ft to the vent pieces) can be. 7 ft

PREPARATION
Advanced Preparations: · Be familiar with the controls of the range hood by reading through Range Hood
Operations. · Place the range hood on a flat, stable surface. Connect the range hood to a
designated standard outlet (please refer the product label for the suitable voltage of this unit) and turn on the range hood. Verify all operations of the range hood by referring to Range Hood Operations. Place all supplied parts and required hardware on a flat, stable surface and verify the existence of all supplied parts. · Carefully remove the white or blue plastic protective coat from the range hood. Preparations: NOTE: To avoid damage to your hood, prevent debris from entering
the vent opening. · Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside.
Refer to Venting Methods. · A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform more efficiently. · Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long run as possible.
This may reduce the performance of the hood. · Using 45 degee elbows is better than using 90 degree elbows. · IMPORTANT: Peel white plastic protective coat off the hood, if any. · Use aluminum tape to seal joints between pipe sections.
DO'S AND DON'TS FOR DUCT VENTING
a. Avoid the use of sharp elbows. Use 45 degrees instead, if possible. b. DO NOT use REDUCERS. Keep the size of the duct the same, as per
the manual. Areducer will reduce the CFM of the hood and increase the noise. c. DO NOT use plenum boxes. Boxes create turbulence and make the hood
inefficient. Use a smooth elbow to guide the air outdoors.
(b)

MAINTENANCE
Operations:
· Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual before operating the appliance. Save these instructions for future reference.
· Always leave safety grills and filters in place. Without these components, operating blowers could catch on to hair, fingers and loose clothing.
· Never dispose cigarette ashes, ignitable substances or any foreign objects into blowers. · Never leave cooking unattended. When frying, oil in the pan can easily overheat and catch fire.
The risk of self combustion is higher when the oil has been used several times. · Never cook on "open" flames under the range hood. Check deep-fryers during use: Superheated oil
may be flammable. · The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and filters may cause increased inflammability.
Keep unit clean and free of grease and residue build-up at all times to prevent possible fires. · Filters must be cleaned periodically and free from accumulation of cooking residue.
Old and worn filters must be replaced immediately. · DO NOT operate blowers when flters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper
instructions. Disassembly is recommended to be performed by qualifed personnel only. Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual before proceeding. · SAFETY WARNING: Never put your hand into area housing the fan while the fan is operating!
Cleaning Exterior surfaces: · Clean periodically with stainless steel cleaner and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive
detergent (e.g. Comet Power Scruv®, EZ-Off® oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads, which will scratch and damage the stainless steel surface. For heavier oil use liquid degrease such as "Forumla 409®" or "Fantastic®" brand cleaner. · If the hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the hood. Avoid getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions of the stainless steel cleaner. CAUTION: Do not leave on too long as this may cause damage to the hood finish. Use a soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rub off any stubborn spots. Use a dry soft towel to dry the hood. · After cleaning, you may use non abrasive stainless steel polish such as 3M® or ZEP®, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, a with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain. · DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.
· DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause rusting.
· 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, which may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Cleaning Grease Filter:
· Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use. · Spray "Formula 409®" or equivalent degreasing detergent and leave to soak if very dirty. Dry the filters
and re-install before using the hood.
Replacing Filters:
· Should filters wear out due to age and prolonged use, please contact Vikio Range Hoods to order replacement filters.
