READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The Installer must leave these instructions with the homeowner.
The homeowner must keep these instructions for future reference and for local electrical inspectors’ use.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU START INSTALLING THIS RANGEHOOD
WARNING: - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE: Never leave surface
units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Heat oils slowly on low or medium setting. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé). Clean
ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. Use proper
pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING: - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE
TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,
cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the
flames do not go out immediately EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. NEVER
PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned. DO N OT USE W ATER, including wet dishcloths
or towels - a violent steam explosion will result. Use an extinguisher ONLY if: 1. You know you
have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it. 2. The fire is small and
contained in the area where it started. 3. The fire department is being called. 4. You can fight the
fire with your back to an exit.
ALL WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS WHERE THE RANGEHOOD IS INSTALLED MUST BE
SEALED.
This rangehood requires at least 24" of clearance between the bot tom of the rangehood and
the cooking surface or countertop. Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given
by the manufacturer before making any cutouts. MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION. The installation
of this rangehood must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards,
Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title
24, HUD, Part 280). Four wire power supply must be used and the appliance wiring must be revised. See Electrical Requirements.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION - To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside – Do not
vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
Determine which venting method is best for your application. Ductwork can extend either through
the wall or the roof. The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should be kept to a
minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork system. Use caulking to
seal exterior wall or floor opening around the cap.
Flexible ductwork is not recommended. Flexible ductwork creates back pressure and air
turbulence that greatly reduces performance.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making cutouts.
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
WARNING - To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Use Only Metal Ductwork.

• Venting system MUST terminate outside the home.
• DO NOT terminate the ductwork in an attic or other enclosed space.
• DO NOT use 4" laundry-type wall caps.
• Flexible-type ductwork is NOT recommended.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a fire.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC-only electrical supply is required on a separate 15 amp fused circuit. A time
delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. The fuse must be sized per local codes in accordance with the electrical rating of this unit as specified on the serial/rating plate located inside the
unit near the field wiring compartment. THIS UNIT MUST BE CONNECTED WITH COPPER WIRE
ONLY. Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 - latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances. Wire size and connections must conform
with the rating of the appliance. Copies of the standard listed above may be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, Massachusetts 02169
This appliance should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) through
flexible, armored or no metallic sheathed copper cable. Allow some slack in the cable so the appliance can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. A UL Listed, 1/2" conduit connector must be
provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the appliance and at the junction box).
When making the electrical connection, cut a 1 1/4" hole in the wall. A hole cut through wood must
be sanded until smooth. A hole through metal must have a grommet.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, do not use this fan with
any solid-state speed control device.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting
