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 the 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

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
■ 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.
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
chimney holes.
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.
