Venting Methods
• This island zzrange hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. For non-vented (re-circulating)
installations, see 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.
Option 1: Vertical roof venting Option 2: Horizontal wall venting
Roof cap
Ductless Conversion
• 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 http://www.euro-kitchen.com. 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.
Page 7
Charcoal Filter Installation
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 http://www.euro-kitchen.com.

Troubleshooting
1. If the range hood or halogen light does not operate • Check if the range hood has been plugged in, make
after installation: sure that all power has been turned back ON, fused
not blown and all electrical wiring are properly con-
nected.
• Swap out light assembly to working ones to deter-
mine whether it is caused by defective bulbs. See
Replacing the light bulbs on Page 16.
2. The range hood vibrates when the blower is on: • The range hood might not have been secured prop-
erly on to the ceiling or wall. Check with your in-
staller
3. The blower or fan seems weak: • Check that the duct sized used is at least 6” or 3-1/4
x 10”. Range hood WILL NOT function efficiently
with insufficient duct size. For example: 8” duct
over 6” hole and loosely secured.
• Check if duct is clogged or if damper unit (half-cir-
cular flapper) is not installed correctly or opening
properly. A tight mesh on a side wall cap unit might
also cause restriction to the air flow.
4. The lights work but the blower is not spinning at all, • The blower might be jammed or scraping the bot-
is stuck or is rattling. tom due to shipping damage. Please contact us im-
mediately.
5. The hood is not venting out properly: • Make sure the distance between the stove top and
the bottom of the hood is within* 28” and 31” in
distance. *Due to different ceiling height configura-
tions, recommended height may not be applicable.
• Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct
work. Check if all joints are properly connected,
sealed, and taped.
• Make sure the power is on high speed for heavy
cooking.
6. Purpose of the slots/holes/openings near the top of • These slots/holes/openings are used to exhaust
the upper chimney: cleaned air with optional re-circulating kit. If you
did not install one, you do not need them.

Use and Care Information
Operations:
• Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual before operating the appliance. Save these
instructions for future reference.
• Always leave safety grills and filters in place. Without these components, operating blowers could catch on to
hair, fingers and loose clothing.
• NEVER dispose cigarette ashes, ignitable substances, or any foreign objects into blowers.
• NEVER leave cooking unattended. When frying, oil in the pan can easily overheat and catch fire. The risk of
self combustion is higher when the oil has been used several times.
• NEVER cook on “open” flames under the range hood. Check deep-fryers during use: Superheated oil may be
flammable.
Cleaning:
• The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and filters may cause increased inflammability. Keep unit clean
and free of grease and residue build-up at all times to prevent possible fires.
• Filters must be cleaned periodically and free from accumulation of cooking residue (see cleaning instructions
on Page 16). Old and worn filters must be replaced immediately.
• Do not operate blowers when filters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper instruc-
tions. Disassembly is recommended to be performed by qualified personnel only. Read and understand all
instructions and warnings in this manual before proceeding.
