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:

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

DANGER

WARNING

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

You instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

■ Use this unit only in the manner intended by the

manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

■ Before servicing or cleaning the 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 means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

■ Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by

qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

■ Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug.

Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

■ Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and

exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. 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 wall or ceiling; do not damage

electrical wiring and other utilities.

■ Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors. CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use

to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

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, attics or into crawl spaces, or garages.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY

METAL DUCTWORK.

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 settings.

■ Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when

flambeing 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 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.

For Mobile Home Installations

The installation of this range hood must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, title 24, HUD, Part 280) or when such standard is not applicable, the standard for Manufactured Home Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups) ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A*, or latest edition, or with local codes.

Venting Requirements

(Vented Models Only)

■ Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for non-

vented (recirculating) installations.

■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed

area.

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

■ Use a 6" (15.2 cm) or larger round metal vent or a 3¹⁄₄" x 10"

(8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular metal vent. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.

■ The length of vent system and number of elbows should be

kept to a minimum to provide efficient 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 vent

between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.

■ Do not install 2 elbows together.

■ Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.

■ The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a

damper, do not use damper supplied with the range hood.

■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the

cap.

Cold Weather Installations

An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow and 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 make up air systems when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

IMPORTANT: The range hood must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition) or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 No. 0-M91 (latest edition).

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that the ground path is adequate.

■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical

circuit is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this range hood be provided.

■ This range hood is equipped with a power supply cord having

a 3 prong grounding plug.

■ To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be

plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

■

For a grounded, cord-connected range hood: This range hood must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This range hood is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Location

NOTE: For vented installations, it is recommended that the vent system be installed before hood is installed.

Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.

1. For vented installations, determine which venting method to

use: roof or wall.

2. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place

covering over that surface.

WARNING:

electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions

are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the range hood is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the range hood.

Improper grounding can result in a risk of
