Care and cleaning of the vent hood. aappliancescom

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the

vent hood.

Reusable Metal Grease Filters

The hood has 2 metal reusable

grease filters.

The metal filters trap grease

released by foods on the cooktop.

They also help prevent flaming

foods on the cooktop flom

damaging the inside of the hood.

For this reason, the filters must

ALWAYS be in place when the

hood is used. The grease filters

should be cleaned once a month,

or as needed.

Toclean the grease filters, soak

them and then swish them around

in hot water and detergent.

Don't use ammonia or ammonia

products because they will darken

the metal. Do not use abrasives or

oven cleaners, i,ight brushing can

be used to remove embedded dirt.

Rinse, shake and let them dry

before replacing.

To remove:

Grasp the filter handle and pull it

up, fbrward and out.

Toreplace:

[_ Hold the filter at the bottom

with the handle.

[_ Place the top end of the filter

against the inside flont of the

hood.

[_ Slide it up until it stops and

push the bottom end back

until it snaps into place.

ADVANCE PLANNING

Ductwork Planning

. This hood may be vented vertically through upper

cabinets, soffit or ceiling. A duct transition piece is

supplied for vertical exhaust. Use locally supplied

elbows to vent horizontally through the rear wall.

See page 13.

* Determine the exact location of the vent hood.

* Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors°

* Use the shortest and straightest duct rotlte possible.

For safisfhctory peffbrmance, duct run should not

exceed 100 R. equivalent length for any duct

configurations.

* Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute the maximum

permissible length for duct runs to the outdoors.

* Use metal duct_,vork only.

* A transition piece for 7" round duct is supplied. Use

7" rotuxd duct or you may use 3-1/4" x 12" rectangular.

* Install a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the

exterior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and

any transition needed in advance.

Kit -JXDW1

Order kitJXDW1 if your installation requires horizon ml

ducfing fi'om the top of the hood through the back _vtll and:

* You have an 8 fL ceiling and need to use aJXCH

Series Chimney Corm; or

* You have a 12" cabinet or 12" soffit that the hood is to

be mounted beneath.

This kit provides a duct transition fiom 7" round to

3¼" x 10" rectangular for through-the-wall venting.

Wall Framing for Adequate Support

* This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structural support

must be provided. The hood must be secured to

vertical studs in the wall. See page 14.

* We strongly recommend that the vent hood with

duct cover be on site before final f]aming and wall

finishing. This will also help to accurately locate the

ductwork and electrical service.

* Connect the wiring to the house wiring in

accordance with local codes.

Grounding instructions

The grounding conductor must be connected to a

grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an

equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.

DUCT COVER REQUIREMENTS

We recommend that the vent hood and decorative

duct cover (if used) be on site before final flaming and

wall finishing. This will help to accurately locate studs,

ductwork and electrical service. Read these instructions

to determine if the duct cover accesso_ T can be used for

your installation situation.

Duct Cover Accessory:

* Use the decorative duct

cover to conceal duct_,vork

running flom the top of

the hood to the ceiling°

* The duct cover accessory

consists of 2 pieces. The

outside piece is 12" high,

the inside piece is 22".

Nested together they are

24" rain., expanding to

a total maximum height

of 34 ".

* The outside piece can

be used alone to fill a

12" height.

* For heights over 12", the

ceiling bracket must be

installed to secure the

cover at the top.

To avoid unsightly gaps, plan the hood installation height

for duct cover use.

* The cover will fit a 12" rain. height flom the top of the

hood to the ceiling, or 24" rain. and expanding up to

34" flom the top of the hood to the ceiling.

THE DUCT COVER CANNOT BE USED WHEN THE

DISTANCE ABOVE THE TOP OF THE HOOD IS

BETWEEN 12 "AND 24".

Review the ff_llowing examples to ensure a trouble flee

DETERMINE HOOD, DUCTWORK AND WIRING LOCATIONS

• Keep the wood support piece and its screws for

later h_stallation. Do not discard.

• Measure desired distance flom the bottom of the

hood to the cooking surf_ce, 24" rain. to 36 "Max.

Refer to the previous page if the access<n T duct cover

will be used.

• Use a level to draw a horizontal line indicating the

bottom of the hood.

• Use a level to draw the cooktop centerline location.

• Measure 15-3/8 "up flom the horizontal line fin the

bottom of the hood. Draw another horizontal line.

• Measure 18" up flom the line for the botton_ of the

hood, draw another horizontal line to indicate the

top of the hood.

FOR VERTICAL (Straight Up) DUCTING:

*If venting out the ceiling, extend the centerline

fbrward on the ceiling.

- Measure 6-7/8" flom drywall to mark centerline fin a

7-1/2" dia. duct hole on the ceiling.

- If drywall is not present, add drywall thickness to the
