Frequently Asked Questions - UXT5236ADQ MAYTAG

What is the minimum mounting height for the Maytag UXT5236ADQ hood?

The minimum mounting height between the top of the range and the bottom of the hood is 61 cm (24 in). The maximum height must not exceed 81.3 cm (32 in).

Can I use flexible ductwork for installation?

No, it is recommended to use rigid metal ductwork. Flexible ducts reduce airflow by up to 50% and do not meet the manufacturer's specifications.

How do I convert the hood to recirculation mode?

To convert the hood to a recirculation system, you must purchase a charcoal filter kit (ref. HCFLTUXT36, contains 3 filters). Remove the diffuser, clip the charcoal filters onto the bracket, then reinstall the diffuser. The hood can then recirculate purified air into the kitchen.

What electrical power is required for this hood?

The appliance requires a power supply of 120 V, 60 Hz, on a dedicated circuit of 15 to 20 amps with grounding.

How do I clean the metal filters?

The metal filters are washable. You can clean them in the dishwasher or by hand with a mild detergent. Make sure they are completely dry before reinstalling them.

What venting options are available with this model?

This model offers three venting options: vertical venting with round 15.2 cm (6 in) or rectangular 8.3 x 25.4 cm (3 1/4 x 10 in) duct, and horizontal rear venting with rectangular 8.3 x 25.4 cm duct. Adapters are provided for conversion.

What is the maximum recommended duct length?

The maximum duct length is 30.5 m (100 ft) for a 15.2 cm (6 in) or rectangular duct. This length must be reduced based on elbows and transitions used (each 90° elbow equals 4.6 m loss).

Can I install the hood myself?

No, installation must be performed by a qualified installer or competent technician. Improper installation can lead to fire or injury risks.

How do I replace the charcoal filters?

The charcoal filters must be replaced every 120 hours of use (approximately 2-3 months for daily use of 1-2 hours). To replace them, remove the diffuser, unclip the old filters and clip the new ones in place.

What are the exact dimensions of the hood?

For the UXT5236ADQ (36 in) model, the dimensions are: width 91.4 cm (36 in), depth 25.4 cm (10 in), height 15.2 cm (6 in).

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

WARNING

Installation

The installation in this manual is intended for qualified installers, service technicians or persons with similar qualified background. DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could result from installing the unit due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical background.

All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded. Overly accumulated grease in old duct work should be cleaned out or duct work should be replaced if necessary to avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Check all joints on duct work to insure proper connection and all joints should be properly taped.

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING HEIGHTS

DUCTING

A minimum of 6" round or 3-1/4"x10" rectangular duct must be used to maintain maximum air flow efficiency.

Always use rigid-type metal ducts only.

Flexible ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%.

Also use calculation (on right) to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions and caps.

ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number of transitions and turns. If long duct run is required, increase duct size from 6" to 7 or 8". If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer. Reduce duct size as far away from opening as possible.

If turns or transitions are required:

Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as possible.

Minimum mounting height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 24".

Maximum mounting height should be no higher than 32".

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 lose performance and efficiency.

If available, also refer to range manufacturer's height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting height above range.

*Minimum clearance of 24" hood above range height.

** Maximum clearance 32" hood above range height.

DUCTING

WARNING FIRE HAZARD

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.

Use Metal ductwork only.

Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints w/ certified Silver Tape or DuctTape.

ELECTRICAL

WARNING

All Electrical work must be performed by qualified electrician or person with similar technical know how and background.

For personal safety, remove house fuse or open circuit breaker before beginning installation.

Do not use extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance.

Follow National electrical codes or prevailing local codes and ordinances.

Electrical Supply:

This appliance requires a 120V 60Hz electrical supply, connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 ampere circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Wiring must be 2 wire w/ ground. Please also refer Electrical Diagram labeled on product.

Cable Lock:

A cable locking connector (not supplied) might also required by local codes. Check with local requirements and codes, purchase and install appropriate connector if necessary.

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE RANGEHOOD

1. This range hood is mounted under a kitchen cabinet unit.
2. Select preferred duct location on rear or top of unit. For ductless conversion, no ducting is required.
3. Begin installation by temporarily removing the diffuser and filter panels.
4. Temporarily position the range hood in the desired mounting location. Measure and mark the mounting holes, duct and electrical access locations with a pencil.
5. Drill/cut out the required openings for duct and electrical access; make sure the duct opening is large enough to apply duct tape.
6. Fasten mounting screws onto cabinet as marked, do not tighten, leaving half length of screws exposed.
7. Install electrical.
8. Hang hood onto screws through key holes, and tighten.
9. Install duct work and duct-tape.

INSTALLATION

DUCTLESS CONVERSION

Ductless conversion is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be installed. When converted, the hood functions as a "purifying" hood rather than an exhaust hood. Fumes and exhaust from cooking are drawn and filtered by a set of optional Carbon Filters. The air is then purified and re-circulated back within the home.

We recommend to ALWAYS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing new duct work, if possible. The hood is most effective and efficient as an Exhaust unit. Only when the exhaust option is not possible should you recourse to converting the hood into a "purifying"unit.

When converted to be a "purifying" unit, a Carbon Filters Kit is required. Order according to its Part number below. The standard Metal Filters are intended to capture residue from cooking and the optional Carbon Filters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking for re-circulation.

Carbon Filters (Required)

1. Purchase ductless Carbon Filters Kit as follow:

Hood Model: Part No. Filters in pkg.

UXT5230AD* HCFLTUXT30 2 UXT5236AD* HCFLTUXT36 3

UXT5430AD* HCFLTUXT30 2 UXT5436AD* HCFLTUXT36 3

1. The ductless conversion housing must be installed prior to installation of the range hood.
2. Remove the diffuser panels on the hood.
3. Clip carbon filter onto bracket of diffuser panels.
4. Re-install diffuser panels.
5. Carbon Filters must be replaced after every 120 hours of use (or approximately every 2 to 3 months based on the average of 1-2hrs. of daily cooking time).
6. Refer installation manual provided with ductless carbon filters kit.
