INSTALL THE RANGEHOOD

1. Remove the unit from the carton and place on a flat surface

for assembly. Cover the surface to prevent accidental dam-

age. Remove all parts including the mounting hardware before

discarding the carton.

2. Remove the grease filters from the unit and set aside. The

grease filters are removed by pressing the handle in front of the

filter (FIGURE 7). When replacing, make sure that the filters are

properly positioned with the handles in front and visible.

3. Remove the cover from the field wiring compartment. Remove

the wiring electrical knockout using a flat-blade screwdriver. Feed

the Power Supply Cable through the electrical knockout.

4. Hang the canopy on the brackets (1 in FIGURE 8). There are

two rectangular holes on the rear of the canpoy. The brackets

pass through these holes and the canopy hangs from the flanges

on the brackets. Due to the weight of the canopy, two people

should lift it to avoid injuries. Make sure that the canopy is

secure on the brackets before releasing.

5. Level the canopy. The height and level of the canopy can

be adjusted by rotating the adjustment screws (W in FIGURE

8) on each side of the blower inside the rangehood.

6.Connect the Power Supply Cable to the rangehood. Attach the White lead of the power supply to the White lead of the rangehood with a twist-on type wire connector. Attach the Black lead of the power supply to the Black lead of the rangehood with a twist-on type wire connector. Connect the Green (Green and Yellow) ground wire under the Green grounding screw.

7.Replace the field wiring compartment cover and the grease filters.

8.For ducted installations, the damper must be attached to the exhaust opening on the top of the canopy. Connect the ductwork and seal all connections with duct tape.

FOR DUCTLESS INSTALLATIONS

Do not use the DAMPER (I In FIGURE 1) for ductless installations. The UPPER CHIMNEY COVER must be installed first, before the LOWER CHIMNEY DUCTLESS.

Ductless installations require a Ductless Conversion Kit. This kit consists of a LOWER CHIMNEY DUCTLESS (A in FIGURE 9) with holes for the exhaust air, a DUCTLESS DIVERTER (C), two VENT GRIDS (B) to cover the holes in the chimney cover, and two CHARCOALFILTERS (D). The DUCTLESS DIVERTER must be installed before the LOWER CHIMNEY DUCTLESS is attached (as indicated by the arrow in FIGURE 9). The LOWER CHIMNEY COVER without holes (B in FIGURE 1) should be discarded.

FIGURE 9

Once the LOWER CHIMNEY DUCTLESS with holes is installed, the VENT GRIDS (B) are inserted into the holes (FIGURE 10).
