Parts supplied

Installing the hood

IMPORTANT

We recommend that two people carry

out the installation. Pay attention to the ?????? procedure described in the assembly instructions.

Preparation

???Determine the exact location of the range hood.

???Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors (fig. ).

???Plan the power connection prior to installation so that electrical wiring will not be visible afterwards.

???House wiring location: The junction box is located on the top right side of the hood. Wiring should enter the back wall at least 20??? above the bottom of the installation height, and within 3-3/8??? to 4-3/4??? of the right side of the centerline

(fig. /).

fig.

???If open fireplaces are operated in the same room, ask your local chimney sweeper about the local regulations prior to installation.

???If you are renting, then approval must be obtained from the owner of the property.

???Attention! In order for the range hood to reach optimal performance, install it over the middle of the cooking area.

???The following accessories are required to mount the range hood (not included):

Exhaust duct

Power drill with 3/16??? and 1/8??? bits

Screwdriver

Level

Cable detector

Measuring tape

Duct tape

fig.

Ducting installation guidelines

???For safety reasons, ducting should vent directly outdoors (not into an attic, underneath the house, into the garage or into any enclosed space).

???Keep duct runs as short and straight as possible.

???Duct fittings (elbows and transitions) reduce air flow efficiency.

???Back to back elbow and ???S??? turns give very poor delivery and are not recommended.

???A short straight length of duct at the inlet of the remote blower gives the best delivery.

???Transition to duct from the integral blower or remote duct transition as close to the downdraft as is possible.

???Use a suitable 6??? round duct.

Installing range hood to the wall (Exhaust operation)

IMPORTANT

This range hood is very heavy. Adequate structure and support must be provided in all types of installations.

Install framing for hood support

???If drywall is present, mark the screw hole locations.

???Cut away enough drywall to expose 2 vertical studs at the holes location indicated by the template. Install two horizontal supports at least 1??? x 6??? between two wall studs at the bottom and top mounting holes installation location (fig. ).

???The horizontal support must be flush with the room side of the studs. Use cleats behind both sides of the support to secure to wall studs.

???Reinstall drywall and refinish.

IMPORTANT

Framing must be capable of supporting 100 lbs.

Step 1:

???Make sure that no cables or pipes will become damaged (e.g. electric, gas, water; test the areas in question with a cable detector).

???Using supplied template (17), mark and drill 8 holes in the wall. Drill the holes according to the measured distances from the diagram (fig. ).

???Upper/Lower bracket (4, 5): Insert 4 wall plugs

(11) into the 4 drilled holes.

???Range hood (1): Installation is depending on wall type:

fig.

???Insert 2 screws (10 or 14) in the top location, but

do not fully insert the screws (fig. ). Mount the range hood (1) to the wall and tighten the screws. Insert and tighten the 2 remaining screws on the bottom location of the range hood (fig. /).

???Mount the junction box onto the range hood using 2 short screws (15) (fig. ).

Step 6:

???Insert the upper chimney (3) into the lower chimney

(3) from top to bottom (fig. ).

???Mount upper and lower chimney (3) on the range hood (1). Fit the tab, which is bend by 90 degrees, into the lower bracket notch and mount to the lower bracket (5) (fig. /).

???Pull the upper chimney (3) to the upward position to match the screw hole of the upper bracket. Mount to the upper bracket (4) with 2 side screws (12) (fig. ).

CAUTION

Danger of injury. The chimney skirts may have some sharp edges.

Exhaust operation

???During exhaust operation, the range hood removes air from a room. If other fire sources that require the surrounding air for combustion are being operated in the same room, (e.g. gas, oil or coal heaters), the oxygen they require is taken away. Thus flames could be suffocated and gas could leak out or the fumes could be drawn back into the room.

???In order to guarantee a safe operation, there should be non-closable openings in doors, windows to ensure a fresh supply of combustion air. This will prevent the combustion fumes from being drawn back into the room.

???When assessing the measures necessary, always take the entire ventilation system of the house into consideration.

???Never secure the range hood to a ventilation duct, or a room or exhaust gas chimney! Do not let the air that is removed from the room be drawn into a duct where warm air is circulating. The extracted air should only be drawn outdoors through a separate ventilating duct that is only for the extractor hood.

???When in extraction mode, air in the room is being removed by the range hood. Please make sure that proper ventilation measures are being observed. The range hood removes odors from room but not steam.

???There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).

???The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).

Air recirculation operation

???Recirculated air: Kitchen fumes are removed and after purification are fed back into the room through the upper ventilation openings.

The purification takes place via metallic anti- grease filter. No wall breakthrough is required for recirculated air operation.

GB

Installing range hood to the wall in recirculation mode

???For the operation of the range hood with recirculation mode a recirculator, model no. FHWRKT60LS, needs to be obtained. Please call Frigidaire at 1.800.944.9044 to order this kit.

???Follow steps 1 to 4 from Fixing range hood to the wall (with exhaust ducting) chapter.

???To install the recirculator (7), use the template included in recirculation kit for proper position.

???Place the recirculator (7) against the upper bracket

(4) by using the upper holes with upper bracket in the wall.

???Fix the recirculator (7) to the wall with 2 sets of long screws (10) and wall plugs (11) (fig. ).

???Attach the exhaust duct on the bottom of the recirculator (7).

???Follow steps 5 to 6 from Fixing range hood to the wall (with exhaust ducting) sub-chapter.

???Take out the grease filters and fit charcoal filters to two lateral sides of the motor blower. Assemble back the grease filters. (fig. ).
