Before servicing or cleaning, switch power off at service
panel and lock service panel to prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting
means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent
warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and
standards.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhaust-
ing of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel-burning
equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating
equipment manufacturer's guidelines and safety standards
such as those published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE),
and the local code authorities.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed control
device.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only steel ductwork.

For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
To avoid damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers,
keep drywall/construction dust, etc. off power unit.
Mount your range hood so that the bottom of the hood is
24" to 30" above the cooking surface. The minimum hood
distance above cooktop must not be less than 24"; any
installation less than 24" may cause overheating and cause
damage to the range hood, CHEF KITCH does not warrant

Two to three installers are recommended because of
the larger size and weight of this hood.
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be
sure to duct air outside. Do not exhaust air into spaces
within walls and ceiling or into attics, crawl space or
garages.
Because of the high exhausting capacity of this hood,
you should make sure enough air is entering the house
to replace exhausted air by opening a window close to
or in the kitchen.
Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
Please read product specification label on range hood
for further information and requirements.

Before installing your range hood, carefully follow these steps:
1. Read This Manual
Read through all the steps. If you fail to read the instructions
carefully, we will not be responsible for damages incurred on
your part. If you’re not confident in your abilities to install the
range hood properly, we recommend hiring a certified
technician to complete the installation.
2. Gather Your Tools
Ensure you have all the necessary tools according to the
previous page.
3. Inspect the Unit
Unpack the unit and check your range hood for damage or
missing parts. Plug it in to an outlet to ensure the fan and
lights work. If anything is damaged or missing, contact the
seller to get the issues solved. Don’t throw away packaging
until you’re sure you are fully satisfied with the product.
4. Ensure There is Proper Height Clearance
To ensure the highest performance, the bottom of your range
hood must be between 24” and 30” from the top of the
cooking surface. For gas ranges, the required distance is 30”.
Do not exceed the maximum height of 30" while in operation.
This is very important! Installing at the incorrect height could
lead to drastic reduction in the range’s performance or even
cause a fire.
5. Check Your Power Supply and Ducts
Check to ensure your main voltage is in line with the required
voltage outlined on the rating plate inside this hood. Also
check the domestic power supply to guarantee adequate
earthing before installation.
This range hood must be ducted to the outside. Don’t
connect the range hood to exhaust ducts that carry any type
of combustion fumes like fireplaces, boilers, or any similar
items. The vents should have a short, straight run to the
outside. Avoid any elbows if possible, and if an elbow is
required, a minimum of a 12” straight run is imperative before
the elbow.
6. Figure Out Ducting Requirements & Install Adapter
This range hood requires ducting to the outside for ventila-
tion. This range hood comes pre-installed with a vertical 6”
round adapter. The package comes with a horizontal and a
vertical rectangular adapter.
Look at the duct you’re going to attach the range hood to.
Preparation: What to Do Before Installation
Is it a vertical rectangular duct?
If so, take off the round adapter that is preinstalled on the
unit by removing 10 screws. Attach the rectangular
adapter in its place and tighten the adapter with the
previously-removed 10 screws. Remove the tape holding
up thedampers.
IMPORTANT: Failure to remove the tape from the
damper will cause reduction in performance.

7. Prepare the Cabinet (Soffit)
Measure the size of the outlet adapter relative to the
cabinet. If it is not already done, you’ll need to cut an
opening in the cabinet to ensure the outlet adapter and
power cable can pass through. If you must do this, use a
pencil and ruler to mark the area, then cut with a wall/key-
hole saw.
If you’re installing the UC-PS18SS-30 under a cabinet with
a recessed bottom, we recommend using 4” wood fillers
on each side to stabilize the cabinet for mounting
purposes. For UC-PS18SS-36, we recommend using 6”
wood fillers on each side for easier, more secure mount-
ing.
9. Find a Helper
This range hood is best installed by two or more people
due to its size and weight. Again, it is recommended to
hire a certified technician for installation to reduce the risk
of damage or injury.
remove the tape holding up the dampers.
IMPORTANT: Failure to remove the tape from the damper
will cause reduction in performance. Make sure to install with
the existing black rubber gasket.
Is it a horizontal rectangular duct?
If so, remove existing round adapter by removing the 10
screws. Cover the opening with the shutoff plate and secure
with 10 screws. This renders the round duct opening useless,
and you can move forward with the installation of proper
arrangements for horizontal discharge.
Remove the 5 screws and carefully take off the large shutoff
plate on the back of the hood. Then, carefully remove the 8
screws holding the small sealing lid inside the back of the
hood.
Attach the horizontal rectangular adapter into the back of the
hood. Attach it using the 8 screws you removed from the
small shutoff plate. Remove the tape holding up the dampers.
IMPORTANT: Failure to remove the tape from the damper
will cause reduction in performance. Make sure to install with
the existing black rubber gasket.
Is it a 6” round duct?
You won’t have to make any extra preparations. The range
hood will attach directly to your duct. Be sure to
