PLANNING DUCTWORK INSTALLATION

Begin planning ductwork by deciding where the duct will run between the range hood and the outside. For best performance, use the shortest possible duct run and a minimum number of elbows. There are several choices shown - FIGS. 1A - 1E.

In more complex ducting situations, a 3-1/4" rectangular ducting range hood can be converted to a round duct by means of a transition.

FIG. 1A. Ducting directly through the wall (for range hoods mounted on an exterior wall). Shown are two ways to duct through an outside wall. If a wall cap is used directly off the back of the hood, special care must be taken to make sure that the damper in the damper/duct connector on the hood and damper in the wall cap do not interfere with each other when the hood is operating. This could result in either inadequate air delivery or back drafts. If this condition does exist, remove the hood damper flap. Sometimes when using a wall cap it is easier to duct vertically and then use an elbow as shown in FIG. 1B.
FIG. 1C. Ducting straight up through the roof using 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular duct. (For single story installations.)
FIG. 1D. Ducting between the ceiling joists (for multi-story installations) or through the soffit space above the cabinets (where the soffit connects to an outside wall).
FIG. 1E. Straight up through the roof using 3-1/4" x 10" to 6" round duct transition and 6" round duct (for single-story installations).
FIG. 1F. Straight up through the roof using 7" round duct (for single-story installations). Requires optional damper Model Damp Kit available from your local dealer.

PREPARING THE RANGE HOOD

1. Unpack hood and check contents. You should receive:

1 - Aluminum Filter
1 - 3-1/4" x 10" Damper/Duct Connector (mounted inside of hood for shipping only) (Save screws for mounting.)
1 - 7" Round Duct Plate (mounted on top of hood) (not shown) (Save screws for mounting.)
2. Remove 7" round duct plate from top of hood. Set duct plate aside - with mounting screws.
3. Remove wiring box cover. Under cover find:

For Ductfree Installations Only:

1. For ductfree installation, remove louver cover from front (or inside) of hood. (FIG. 3)

NOTE

Louvers on front of hood must be open and visible for hood to function in ductfree mode.
5. Remove either top or rear electrical knockout depending upon whether wiring will enter hood from wall or cabinet. (FIG. 4)

DUCTED INSTALLATION ONLY

NOTE

Louver cover must be installed as shown in Figure 3 to function in ducted mode.

1. Remove appropriate duct knockout on hood by inserting screwdriver into edge of knockout and breaking tabs holding knockout to hood. You may have to tap screwdriver with hammer to break tabs. Peel knockout back with pliers. (FIG. 5)
2. Fit damper/duct connector over opening and secure in place with black sheet metal screws. (FIG. 6)

Hinge pins and damper/duct connector should be toward top of hood for ducting through wall or toward back of hood for ducting through cabinet above hood. Seal joint between damper/duct connector and hood with duct tape.

1. 7" round ducted discharge only: Re-install 7" round duct plate removed in Step #2 under "PREPARING THE RANGE HOOD" section. For best performance, line up the 7" round duct plate with the 7" round opening on hood. Mount duct plate to hood with 2 screws from duct plate and 2 screws from 3 14 x 10" damper. Install a 7" round damper (purchase separately). Damper flap must open freely in direction of air flow (away from range hood).

PREPARING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

NOTE

MOUNT HOOD SO THAT BOTTOM OF HOOD IS 18"-24" ABOVE COOKING SURFACE. TOP FRONT EDGE OF HOOD SHOULD BE FLUSH WITH FRONT OF CABINET FRAME.

IF DISTANCE BETWEEN WALL AND FRONT OF CABINET FRAME IS MORE THAN 12" THERE WILL BE A SPACE BETWEEN BACK OF HOOD AND WALL. THIS IS NORMAL.

OMIT STEP 9 if range hood will be installed under cabinets with flush bottom.

1. (For installation on recessed bottom cabinets only) Attach a wood filler strip at each side of recessed area under cabinet. (Use two 1" x 2" strips cut to length.) If recess is more than 1" use thicker strips. Attach strips with 1-1/4" screws about 3" from each end. See FIG. 7.
2. Measure and mark the following (FIGS. 7 & 8):

a) Electrical line opening

b) Duct opening

1. Drill four pilot holes in corners of marked duct opening as shown and cut opening with saber saw or keyhole saw.
2. Use 1-1/4" drill bit to drill opening for electrical connection in wall or cabinet.
3. Hold hood up against cabinet bottom and trace keyhole slots onto cabinet bottom of filler strips.
4. Screw the four supplied 7/8" wood screws for mounting the hood into the exact center of the narrow end of the keyhole slots marked underneath the cabinet. Allow 3/8" of the screws to project, so the hood can be fitted into place.

INSTALLING THE DUCTWORK

NOTE

THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL FOLLOW THE PLANS MADE ON PAGE 2. START AT THE EXTERIOR AND RUN THE DUCT BACK TO THE RANGE HOOD.

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE OF YOUR RANGE HOOD, USE THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE DUCT RUN AND A MINIMUM NUMBER OF ELBOWS.

NEVER VENT A RANGE HOOD INTO AN ATTIC SPACE BECAUSE A BUILDUP OF GREASE WILL BECOME A FIRE HAZARD.

USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK (DO NOT USE PLASTIC DUCT). ASSEMBLE SECURELY SO THAT IN CASE OF A GREASE FIRE ON THE RANGE, THE FIRE WILL BE CONTAINED INSIDE METAL DUCT WORK.

IT IS A GOOD PRACTICE TO TAPE ALL DUCT CONNECTIONS, MAKING THEM BOTH SECURE AND AIR TIGHT.

1. Follow appropriate directions below for type of duct work you are installing:

WALL CAPS (FIG. 9)

Use a saber saw to cut a hole slightly larger than duct so duct will line up easily with hood. Install casing strips on outside walls finished in siding. Assemble the duct work and tape all joints. Run duct work back to hood. Fasten wall cap to last section of duct and nail or screw cap to wall. Seal all around flange on wall cap with caulking compound. Make sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the duct will overlap the damper/duct connector by 3/4" when the hood is installed.

ROOF CAPS

Cut hole in roof slightly larger than duct so duct will line up easily with hood. Trim shingles around hole so that they will fit snugly around hood of cap when cap is installed. Assemble the duct work and tape all joints. Run the duct work down to hood. Trim duct parallel to roof pitch, leaving 3/4" of duct projecting above roof. Seal all around duct with roof cement. Install roof cap, inserting back edge of cap under shingles. Seal around cap with roof cement and seal all nail heads and shingles which were cut or lifted.

Make sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the duct will overlap the damper/duct connector by 3/4" when the hood is put into place.

INSTALLING THE RANGE HOOD

1. Bring electrical cable through access hole drilled in wall or bottom of cabinet. Provide 6" wire leads and install proper connector for type of cable being used. Remove lock nut from connector and let prepared cable project through cabinet or wall opening so it is ready for installation into range hood. (FIG. 10)
2. Position hood in place so that:

a) Electrical line is routed through appropriate knockout opening. This step will have to be accomplished while positioning hood. (FIG. 13)
b) Large part of keyhole mounting slots on hood fit onto hood mounting screws projecting from bottom of cabinet. (FIG. 11)
c) Damper/duct connector slides into duct work in wall or cabinet.

1. Adjust hood so the front of hood is flush with cabinet front.
2. Tighten the four hood mounting screws securely.
3. Install locknut on electrical connector and tighten securely.
4. Make electrical connection using wire nuts to connect white wire to white, black wire to black. Ground hood to prepared hole using green ground screw provided. (FIG. 12)
5. Replace wiring box cover and screw. Make sure that all wiring is safely contained inside.

NOTE

For Ductfree Installations Only:

Install both filters. Make sure that ductfree filter (purchase separately) is next to fan assembly with blue side next to blade. Aluminum filter should be facing out.

USE AND CARE

SWITCHES

Right knob controls light.

Left knob controls blower. Rotate knob CLOCKWISE to turn blower ON to HIGH speed. Further CLOCKWISE rotation decreases blower speed. Rotate knob fully COUNTERCLOCKWISE (past HIGH speed) to turn fan OFF.

CLEANING

Finish Keep your range hood clean using a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces.

Aluminum Filters should be cleaned frequently with a detergent solution to avoid grease build up. They are also dishwasher safe.

FILTER REMOVAL

Filters are removed by turning filter clip to the side and lifting filter or filters out. In ducted version, turn filter retaining clip to one side and place aluminum filter under embossed retaining tabs on back of fan housing. Turn filter clip so that the low end of clip holds single filter firmly in place. (FIG. 13)

In ductfree version, place both aluminum and ductfree filter under tabs on back of fan housing. Turn filter retaining clip so that high end holds both filters firmly in place. Make sure ductfree filter is next to fan assembly, with blue side next to fan blade, and aluminum filter is facing out.

NOTE: Make sure that arrows on filter retaining clip point toward back and front of hood.

LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

Light bulb (not supplied with hood) should be 75 watts maximum. The lens covering bulb is removed by pressing the two extending tabs together until they release from the retaining slots. (FIG. 14)

FAN ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

Be sure power is disconnected. Remove filters. Remove the two screws holding the motor bracket to the range hood and unplug the fan assembly. Be careful not to allow fan assembly to drop when the screws are removed. (FIG. 15).
