RANGE HOOD SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”

These words mean:

DANGER

ARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, READ THE FOLLOWING:

■

Use this unit only in the manner intended by the

manufacturer. If you have questions, please contact the manufacturer.

■

Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power off and lock the service panel. This will prevent the power from accidentally turning on. If the service panel does not lock, secure a warning label, such as a tag, to the service panel.

■

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified professional(s) in accordance with all applicable codes, standards, and fire-rated constructions.

■

Do not operate any fans with a damaged cord or plug. Discard the fan or return to an authorized service facility for further examination and/or repair.

■

To prevent back draft, sufficient air is needed for proper combustion. Gas from fuel burning equipment needs to exhaust through the flue (chimney). Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

■

When cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings; be aware of electrical wires, piping, and other utilities.

■

Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.

CAUTION: For general ventilation use only. Do not use

to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and to properly

exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside - DO NOT vent exhaust air into attics, crawl spaces, garages, or within walls and ceilings.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP

GREASE FIRE, READ THE FOLLOWING:

■

Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-over can cause smoke and grease to spill over that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

■

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

■

Clean ventilation 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. IN

THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, READ 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 NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels a violent steam explosion will result.

■

Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

– You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you

already know how to operate it.

– The fire is small and contained in the area where it

started.

– The fire department is being called. – You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA.

■

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock,

do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

IMPORT

and ordinances. Have a qualified technician

install the range hood. It is the installer’s

responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate.

Canopy hood's location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents. Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance

ANT: Observe all governing codes

INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS

A. Countertop height B. Hood height from ceiling to bottom of the range hood filter surface: D-A-C=B C. 29” (73.66 cm) min. from cooking surface, suggested 31” (78.74 cm) max. D. Ceiling height

VENTILATION REQIUREMENTS

■ Range hoods must be ventilated to the outdoors, except for non-vented (recirculating) installations.

■ Do not ventilate the range hood into an attic or other enclosed areas.

■ Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.

■ The length of the range hood and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide maximum performance.

For the most efficient and

quiet operation

■ 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.

■ Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent

system.

■ The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range hood.

■ Use caulking to seal exterior walls or roof openings around the cap.

■ The size of the vents should be uniform.

Cold Weather Installations

An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow. A thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as possible to where the vent system enters the heated portion of the house.

Makeup Air

Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems, when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from state to state. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

Venting Method

This canopy hood is factory set for through the roof or wall.

A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation. The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed. If exhaust ducting with a diameter of less

than 5.91” (150 mm) or if flat ducting is used,

the noise level of the range hood will increase and extraction will be less efficient.

Rear Discharge

A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.

For Non-Vented (recirculating)

Installations

If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) version, fitting a carbon filter at the motor. Fumes and vapors are then recycled through the top grille. DO NOT block the

Calculating Vent System

Length

To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for all vent pieces used in the system.

ELECTRICAL

REQIUREMENTS

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with the National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition), all local codes, and ordinances. If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate. A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02169-7471 CSA International 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road Cleveland, OH 44131-5575

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is required.

■ If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure below:

1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail leads.

2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the copper wire using special connectors and/or tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum. Follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure for the electrical connector. Aluminum/copper connection must conform to local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.

■ Wire sizes and connections must conform to

the rating of the appliance as specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial plate is located behind the filter on the rear wall of the range hood.

■ Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of

the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes and ordinances.
