General Preparation
Installation procedure will require 2 people for easier installation.
Ensure to turn power OFF before beginning the installation:
1. Remove the rangehood from the carton
2. Lay the rangehood upside down on a table covered with either
cardboard or paper to prevent scratching the hood or table
3. Unscrew the lamp cover with a Phillips head screwdriver
4. Remove the lamp cover and install one 40W light bulb
Replace the lamp cover and the screws
Selecting the Venting Direction
The rangehood can be used for either horizontal, vertical or
ductless air discharge. For the best performance, use the shortest
possible ducting path and the least amount of elbows when
discharging horizontally or verrtically
Vertical Discharge
Vertical discharge is the most common method of hood installation.
If your kitchen has an attic space above, the ducting may be run
through the cupboard and the attic to a roof cap. Use a 7" round
duct (not included). Another option, if your kitchen has a soffit
above the cabinet, is to run the duct up into the soffit and then
discharge the air horizontally through the outside wall to a wall cap

MODEL OD-22014
Ductless
In ductless installation, air is vented back into the kitchen
through the opening in the rangehood grille. If you do not
anticipate heavy cooking, this method may be preferable.
Ductless installation requires the use of charcoal filters
(included) to remove odours, which should be replaced at
regular intervals depending on use. Check with your local
retailer or dealer for replacements.
* This filter is not dishwasher safe!
Horizontal Discharge
If the range is located against an outside wall, then horizontal
discharging is ideal, provided there are no obstructions such as
wall joists or places where openings are difficult to make.
If a wall cap is used directly off the back of the hood, special
care must be taken to ensure that the damper in the damper/
duct connector on the hood and the damper in the wall cap do
not interfere with each other when the rangehood is operating.
This could result in either inadequate air delivery or back drafts.
If this condition exists, remove the hood damper flap.
Sometimes when using a wall cap, it is easier to duct vertically
and then to use an elbow.
For model OD-22014, you must
remove the vent cover from the slots on the front of the
rangehood. Save the vent cover for possible future use.
Preparation of Electrical Connections
If replacing an existing hood, the electrical cable may need to
be rerouted to the desired position.
1. Determine the location of the electrical cable to connect to
the rangehood
2. Remove the electrical knockout on the back or top of the
rangehood and install a standard electrical cable clamp
3. Transfer the location of the rangehood electrical knockout
to either the bottom of the cabinet or the wall. Drill or cut a
hole in the adjoining surface to make room for the
electrical cable clamp
Cabinet Preparation for Hood Support
Mount the hood so that the bottom of the hood is between
24"-30" above the stove top. WHEN CUTTING OR DRILLING INTO
WALL OR CABINET, BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT EXISTING
ELECTRICAL WIRING.
1. If the bottom of the cabinet is recessed above the bottom
of the cabinet door, then it is necessary to install wood
strips on each side of the recessed area on the bottom of
the cabinet where the rangehood will be mounted. The
wood strips should line up with the 4 keyhole slots ono the
top of the rangehood. Fasten the wood strips with wood
screws about 3" in from each end. * The thickness of the
wood strips should be slightly more than the recessed
dimension. The length should be cut to size.
2. Measure and mark the electrical wiring opening in the wall
or the cabinet. If the hood is to be vented, also mark and
measure the duct opening in the wall or cabinet.

Preparation for Duct Connection
1. Remove the appropriate ducting knockout by inserting a
screw driver under one end and prying it up. Then snip or
break the attachment points (see Fig.1 on the right)
2. Install the damper assembly to the rangehood with the 2
screws supplied
3. If discharge is vertical through a rectangular duct, remove
the knockout sections D, B and E only (see Fig.2)
4. If the vertical discharge is through a 7" round duct, remove
knockout sections A, B and C only. Section D and E remain
with the hood (see Fig.2 on the right)
5. Mount the round collar (E22A-not supplied) over the
opening on the hood by using 3 shorter screws. Allow the
bottom edge of the 7" duct to be inserted into the collar

INSTALLATION GUIDE
Rangehood Fans
MODEL OD-22014
Wiring Diagram Installing Ductwork
Your new rangehood will operate at the highest efficiency if the
number of elbows and the length of the duct are kept to a
minimum. The back draft damper flap attached to the damper
frame assembly, which is supplied with the hood, does not
impede airflow significantly. You may leave this in place even if
you install a wall or roof cap with another back draft damper.
CAUTION
All wiring installation must comply with local and national
electrical code regulations.
Hood Installation
1. Lift the hood into position and guide the electrical cable through the electrical cable clamp on the hood
2. Insert the 4 wood screws from the bottom and securely fasten
3. Secure the electrical cable in the cable clamp while allowing sufficient length in the hood to connect the field wires to the hood wires
4. Make the electrical connections using screw-on wire connectors. Attach the BLACK wires together and then the WHITE wires together and after
that, the GREEN or bare wire to the GREEN GROUNDING screw in the hood. Replace the wiring compartment cover
5. Attach ductwork and use duct tape to seal all joints
6. After turning all rangehood switches to the OFF position, turn the power ON and test your installation
MAINTENANCE & OPERATION
Charcoal Filter
Inspect this filter periodically. This filter cannot be cleaned and must
be replaced when it becomes saturated. Check with your local
retailer or dealer to purchase.
Aluminum Filter
For highest efficiency, this filter should be removed and cleaned
periodically. Soak the filter in hot water and mild soap or detergent.
Rinse thoroughly and repeat if necessary. The aluminum filter may
be cleaned in the dishwasher. Heavy grease buildup may not be
cleaned easily, thus the filter may need to be replaced.
Light Bulb
DO NOT use light bulbs that are brighter than 40W
Repair or Replacement Parts
WARNING Disconnect rangehood from the electrical power supply before servicing
All parts may be obtained from service centers authorized by ORTECH, or may be ordered directly from ORTECH.
When ordering parts, please specify the rangehood model number on the rating label, which is located on the inside of the rangehood.
Exterior Surface
Wipe the rangehood exterior with a soft cloth and a mild detergent
suitable for painted surfaces. DO NOT use abrasive materials such as
steel wool pads or scouring powders.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Rangehood Fans
MODEL OD-22014
ORTECH reserves the right to modify at any time, without notice, any or all of our product's
features, designs, components and specifications to meet market changes.
Fan only runs at one speed:
Please see instructions above for troubleshooting when your fan
does not turn on (but light turns on).
Fan does not turn on (but light turns on):
This is probably due to either a defective fan switch or a burnt out fan
motor. Both can be replaced without removing the rangehood from the
wall or cabinet. Use an ohm meter to determine which component is
not working. If the ohm meter reads that the fan switch has 0 ohms of
resistance, then it is the motor that needs to be replaced. If it reads
anything other than zero, then the switch must be replaced.
Fan circulates air, but does not vent outside:
If air is blowing through the front vent openings, then your rangehood
has been installed for ductless operation. In order to convert the
system to vent outside, a technician must install metal ductwork from
the rangehood through either an outside wall or the roof.
If air is not blowing from the front vent openings, check inside the
cabinet above the rangehood. If you see a metal duct leading away
from the vent hood, then you have a system that vents to the outdoors.
If you do not see a duct, your unit may be venting through the back wall.
Light does not turn on (but fan turns on):
This could be because the bulb has burnt out. Try replacing the
light bulb. If the light still does not work, either the light switch or
the lamp-holder socket is defective. Both can be replaced without
removing the rangehood from the wall or cabinet.
Night light does turn on:
Please see the rest of the instructions for troubleshooting when
the light that does not turn on (but fan turns on).
Rangehood does not turn on at all:
Check for a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse, since the
rangehood is wired directly to your household electrical system.
IMPORTANT REMINDER
All work must be performed by a qualified and licensed technician.
