Venting Methods

• This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. For non-vented (re-circulating) installa

Recirculating (Non-Vented) Kit
on Page 11.
• Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
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.
• Use metal/aluminum duct work only.
• 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.
Ductless Conversion
Option 2:
Side wall cap
Vertical roof venting
Roof cap
Horizontal wall venting
Option 1:
• 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 is drawn and filtered by a set of charcoal 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. 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 set of charcoal filters and an air-diverter are required in addition to
its standard aluminum filter set. Available at your local resellers. The standard aluminum filters are intended
to capture residue from cooking, the optional charcoal filters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking,
and the optional air-diverter redirects filtered clean air back to the house.

Electrical Requirements
IMPORTANT:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
(Please consult with a qualified electrician for 220-Volt 50 Hz voltage)
It is the customer’s responsibility:
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/

- 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, fused on both
sides of the line.
•
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
•
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
• RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. This range hood must be properly grounded. Check with a qualified elec
-
trician if you are not sure whether the range hood is properly grounded.
• 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. Do not use extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance.
• The range hood must be connected with copper wire/plug only.

Charcoal Filter Installation
White
Green
Black
NOTE:
The charcoal filters are preinstalled if you purchased the range hood with re-circulating kit from us.
1. Remove aluminum filters on hood.
2. Remove the safety filter under the aluminum filter by unscrewing two screws, then position the charcoal filter
and align the screw holes, reinstall and fasten two screws.
3. Reinstall the aluminum filters back to the hood.
4. Charcoal filters must be replaced after 120 hours of use (or approximately every 2 to 3 months based on the
average of 1 to 2 hours of daily cooking time). Available at your local reseller.
