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 Figure 1.  
- A straight, short venting run will allow the hood to perform more efficiently.  
- Try to avoid as much transitions, elbows, and long run as possible. This may reduce  
the performance of the hood.  
- Use duct tape to seal the joints between pipe sections.  
- If necessary, prepare back wall frame with cross framing lumber for secure installation.  
Using references on Table 1 and measurements on page 12 decide the level of the  
lumber. Refer to Figure 2.

MAINTENANCE  
CAUTION: NEVER PUT YOUR HAND INTO THE AREA HOUSING THE FAN WHILE THE  
FAN IS OPERATING.  
For the optimal level of operation, clean the range hood surface, fan, and oil container  
regularly.  
To Clean Hood Surface  
CAUTION: NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, PADS, OR CLOTHS.  
-
Regular care will help preserve its fine appearance.  
1) Use only mild soap or detergent solutions. Dry surfaces using soft cloth.  
2) If hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use an orange base cleaner to clean the  
surface of the hood. Avoid cleaner to get on the control switches. Spread a light  
coating over the surface of the hood and leave on for a few minutes (do not leave on too  
long or this may cause damage to hood finish). Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning  
solution, gently rubs any stubborn spots. Use a slightly damp towel to get rid of any  
cleaning solution. Use dry soft towel to dry the hood.  
3) To bring the glow back into a stainless steel finish, use a stainless steel cleaner.  
4) DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.  
5) DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the  
surface causing rust.  
6) 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.  
To Clean Oil Container, Stainless Steel Filter, and Hood Fan  
CAUTION: DRAIN OIL CONTAINER BEFORE OIL CAN OVERFLOW.  
1) The oil container attached underneath stainless steel filter can be removed by turning  
counter-clockwise.  
2) To clean the stainless steel filter, remove the screws (leave in a safe place), and slide  
stainless steel filter out.  
3) Both oil container and stainless steel filter should be washed with warm soapy water  
and dry completely before returning in place. Both are top rack dishwasher safe.
