VENTING REQUIREMENTS
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Duct system must terminate to the outside (roof or side wall).
DO NOT terminate the duct system in an attic or other enclosed area.
DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
Use metal/aluminum duct only. Rigid metal/aluminum vent is recommended.
DO NOT use plastic duct.
Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow.
Calculate the following figures before installation:
1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
2. Distance from countertop/stove to range hood (recommend* 24” to 30”).
3. Height of hood and duct cover.
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
• A distance of 24” to 30” is recommended* between stove top and the bottom of range hood.
• It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof through 7” or bigger round metal/aluminum
duct work.
• The size of the duct should be uniform.
• Use no more than three 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24” (61 cm) of straight duct between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
• DO NOT install two elbows together.
• The length of duct system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
• The duct system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT use damper (if supplied) on top of the
range hood.
• Use aluminum foil tape to seal all joints in the duct system.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap. USE 8” ROOF OR WALL VENT CAP MINIMUM.
IMPORTANT:
• A minimum of a 7” round duct (standard for this range hood) must be used to maintain maximum airflow
efficiency.
• Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airflow when connecting to provided
duct.
• Please use Duct Run Calculation below to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions
and caps.
• ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns in the duct run. If a long duct run is required, increase the duct size from 7” to 8”. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake
reducer. Reducing the duct size will restrict airflow and decrease efficiency.
• If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as possible.
• Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 24-inch*.
• Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no higher than 30-inch*.
• It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat
damage and fire hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose its performance
and efficiency.
• If available, also refer to stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range.
Minimum Duct Size:
• Round - 7” minimum
• Round - 8” recommended if 7” round cannot be acquired. Use Aluminimum foil tape to properly seal.
* Due to different ceiling height configurations, recommended height may not be applicable.

CALCULATING DUCT SYSTEM LENGTH
To calculate the length of the duct system you require, subtract the equivalent feet for each “Duct
piece” (Table Below) used in the system from the “Recommended maximum run” (Table Below). The
longest duct run that is acceptable (if completely straight) is 50 feet. The number of duct pieces (elbow, transition, etc.) installed in your duct run will determine the maximum length the duct run can be.
Please refer to the example below:
Duct Run Calculation:
Recommended maximum run
7” round duct
Duct piece deduction
Each 90º elbow used
Each 45º elbow used
Each round to rectangle transition
used
Side wall cap with damper
Roof cap
Duct Run Calcuation example:
50 ft
9 ft
5 ft
7 ft
7 ft
7 ft
One roof cap, two 90º elbows, and one 45º elbow
used:
7ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 30ft used.
The above duct pieces used are equivalent to 30ft
of a straight duct run. Subtract 30ft from the allowable 50ft. The remaining distance of 20ft is the
longest that the straight ducting (in addition to the
vent pieces) can be.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If the range hood or lights do not operate after
installation:
•
•
2. The range hood vibrates when the blower is on:
•
•
Check if the range hood has been plugged in,
make sure that all power has been turned back
ON, fused not blown and all electrical wiring are
properly connected.
Swap out light assembly to working ones to
determine whether it is caused by defective bulbs.
See Replacing the light bulbs page.
The range hood might not have been secured
properly on to the ceiling or wall.
The impeller may be out of balance.
3. The blower or fan seems weak:
•
Duct is too small. Range hood WILL NOT function
efficiently with insufficient duct size. For example:
Connecting this hood to 4”, 5” or 6” duct will reduce
the suction and create extra noise and vibrations.
Check if duct is clogged or if damper unit 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,
is stuck or is rattling.
•
The blower might be jammed or scraping the
bottom due to shipping damage. Please contact us
immediately.
5. The hood is not venting out properly:
•
Make sure the distance between the stove top
and the bottom of the hood is within* 24” and
30” in distance. *Due to different ceiling height
configurations, 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.
The duct size must be 7”, or larger. Please make
sure there are NO reducers or plenums in the duct
work.
Refer to Duct Venting in the Venting Methods
page for illustrative examples.

VICTORY range hoods
DO’S AND DON’TS FOR DUCT VENTING
a. Avoid the use of sharp elbows. Use 45 degrees instead, if possible.
b. DO NOT use REDUCERS. Keep the size of the duct the same, as per the manual. A reducer will
reduce the CFM of the hood and increase the noise.
c. DO NOT use plenum boxes. Boxes create turbulence and make the hood inefficient. Use a smooth
elbow to guide the air outdoors.

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. Old and worn filters
must be replaced immediately.
• DO NOT operate blowers when filters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper
instructions. Disassembly is recommended to be performed by qualified personnel only. Read and
understand all instructions and warnings in this manual before proceeding.

MAINTENANCE
SAFETY WARNING: Never put your hand into area housing the fan while the fan is operating!
For optimal operation, clean range hood and all baffle/spacer/filter/grease tunnel/oil container regularly. Regular
care will help preserve the appearance of the range hood.
Cleaning Exterior surfaces:
• Clean periodically with stainless steel cleaner and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive
detergent (e.g. Comet Power Scruv®, EZ-Off® oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads, which will scratch
and damage the stainless steel surface. For heavier oil use liquid degrease such as “Forumla 409®” or
“Fantastic®” brand cleaner.
• If the hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the
hood. Avoid getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions of the stainless steel
cleaner. CAUTION: Do not leave on too long as this may cause damage to the hood finish. Use a soft
towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rub off any stubborn spots. Use a dry soft towel to dry the hood.
• After cleaning, you may use non abrasive stainless steel polish such as 3M® or ZEP®, to polish and buff out
the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, a with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain.
• DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.
• DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause
rusting.
• 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.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Filters:
IMPORTANT: Drain oil from grease tunnel and filters before oil and residue overflow!
• The stainless steel filters are intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking. It need not be replaced
on a regular basis, but are required to be kept clean.
• Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use.
• Stainless steel filters are dishwasher safe. Spray “Formula 409®” or equivalent degreasing detergent and
leave to soak if very dirty. Dry the filters and re-install before using the hood.
Replacing Filters:
• Should filters wear out due to age and prolonged use, please contact Victory Range Hoods to order
replacement filters.

BULB REPLACEMENT
Replacing the light bulb:
• Make sure the range hood is unplugged or turn OFF breaker.
• Make sure the lights are cool to touch, before carefully removing the old light fixture and replace it with
the new one.
(1) Use a thin laminate card (like a business card, or plastic palette knife to prevent scratches on the
