8. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1) Installation planning

• Measure the distance between stove top and the bottom of range hood. A distance of 24" to 30" is recommended. Minimum 24" is required for safety concern.
• Decide the venting method and the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside.
• Purchase any necessary accessories from a hardware store, such as duct, elbow, reducer, damper, duct tape, screws, etc.
• Find and mark the stud locations using a stud finder to plan the mounting locations firmly.

2) Measure the top vent and the power cord positions, cut the openings (slightly larger for easy accessible) for hood exhaust and power cord under the cabinet.

3) For installing under the cabinet with recessed bottom, attach 4-inch wide wood filler strips (not provided) on each side.

4) Puncture the knockout screw holes on the top for screw mounting under the cabinet.

5) Mount this range hood under the cabinet, 2 people are required for this installation.

• Draw power cord through cabinet access opening and center the hood beneath the cabinet.
• From inside of the hood, place screws into the exact center of each knockout hole and secure to cabinet bottom. Finish tightening all screws until secure.

CAUTION: Make sure the range hood is secure before releasing!

4. VENTING HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS

• Vent system must terminate to the outside (roof or side wall).
• DO NOT terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
• DO NOT use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
• Use metal/aluminum vent only. Rigid or flexible metal / aluminum vent duct is recommended.
• DO NOT use plastic vent.
• Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow.
• Measure and estimate the following figures before installation:
  1. Distance between the countertop/stove to the bottom of the range hood. Recommend 24" to 30" for ideal performance, minimum 24" (inches) for safety concern.
  2. Height of hood and duct.

For the most efficient & quiet operation:

• A distance of 24" to 30" is recommended between stove top and the bottom of range hood.
• The vent duct isn't included. It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof through 6" (15.24 cm) or bigger round metal/aluminum vent work, such as 6 in. x 8 ft. semi-rigid aluminum flexible duct.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• Use no more than three 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
• DO NOT install two elbows together.
• The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
• The vent system should have a damper. The damper can be installed in the duct near to the roof or wall cap. Not recommend to use damper on top of the range hood, because the damper has big noise.
• Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
• Use caulking silicone to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

5. VENTING METHODS

• This range hood is 6" top venting through the roof or wall.
• Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall as shown below.
• A minimum of 6" round duct (purchase separately) or 3-1/4 x 10" rectangular duct (purchase separately) must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
• Always use rigid or semi-rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airflow.
• Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside.
• 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.

IMPORTANT:

• NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
• Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
