GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury to person, including the following:
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT USE THIS FAN WITH ANY SOLID-STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
flambéing food (ie. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn
Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on fan filter.
d) 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:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or
metal tray, then turn off burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT
BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a
violent steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
I. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
II. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
III. The fire department is being called.
IV. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Wood Strip
Figure 2
2. The thickness of the strips should be the same as the recess of the
cabinet and they should be approximately 2" wide.
3. Install the strips using appropriate length wood screws (not included).
Make sure the strips line up to the keyhole slots of the range hood.
Prepare the Hood for Installation
1. Choose the type of ducting you will require. This model is equipped
to vent either Vertically or Horizontally through a 3-1/4" x 10" duct.
It can be modified to be ductless (re-circulates the air back into

Do not use a screwdriver or any other object that could scratch
the hood (Figure 4).
2c. 7" Round - Remove the round knockout located on the top of the
hood by inserting a screw driver under the edge and break the tabs
holding it in place. Peel back with pliers (Figure 4).
3. Determine where the electrical service will enter the hood and
remove the appropriate electrical knockout by inserting a screw
driver into the slot and rocking back and forth until the knockout
comes loose (Figure 4).
CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE
PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
Installing the Range Hood
1. Once the proper knockout(s) have been removed, either hold the hood
up to the installation location and mark the locations of the ducting,
electrical, and mounting holes or mark the locations by measurement.
2. Cut appropriate holes for ducting connection and electrical
connection in the wall/cabinet.
3. For 3-1/4" x 10" vertical or horizontal ducting, install the damper
assembly to the hood by sliding the tabbed section of the damper
under the hood body and securing with the two provided screws.
For 7" round ducting, secure either a model E-22A or RCD7 Duct Collar
(not included) to the hood with the three provided screws (Figure 5).
