IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
PERSONAL INJURY, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO ASSEMBLE,
INSTALL, OPERATE OR MAINTAIN THE RANGE HOOD:
• Always disconnect, lock and tag the power source
before installing or servicing the range hood. Failure
to do so may result in fire, shock or serious injury.
• Installation and eletrical wiring must be done
by qualified technician(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.

• Do not install, repair or replace any parts of the
range hood unless you are instructed to do so by
the manufacturer.
• Do not tamper with or modify the PCB.
• This range hood model requires a duct to vent the
air outside. Do not vent the air into spaces within
walls, ceiliings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter.
• Use proper pan sizes. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE
EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
• 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 dish cloths or
towels - a violent steam explosion may result.
• Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
• 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.

Venting Requirements
DO
• Have the venting system go vertically from the
range hood to the roof if possible.
• Have 24"-30" distance between the cooktop and
the range hood. 27" is recommended.
• Use uniformed duct of 6" round duct or 3-1/4 x 10”
rectangular duct or larger.
• Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is
recommended. Semi-rigid aluminum vent is also
acceptable for easy connection.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24" of straight
vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is
used.
• Use minimal numbers of elbows and the
shortest route for the venting system for a better
performance.
• Use silver tap or duct tap to seal all joints in the
venting system.
• Use caulking silicone to seal exterior wall or roof
opening around the cap.
• Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow.
DO NOT
• End the venting system in an enclosed area indoors.
• Use plastic vent.
• Use no more than three 90° elbows.

INSTALLATION PREPARATIONS
IMPORTANT!
• If long duct run is needed, increase the duct size
from 6" to 7" or 8" to 9".
• If a reducer is needed, use a long reducer instead of
a pancake reducer and install it as far away from the
range hood as possible. Reducing the duct size will
restrict and decrease the speed of the airflow and
hense lower the range hood's performance.
• If transitions or turns are needed, install them as far
away from the range hood as possible and keep the
distance between the 2 as far apart as possible.
• The minimum mounting height should be no less
than 24" and the maximum mounting height should
be no more than 30".
• Also refer to the owner's manual of the stove
top for the height clearance requirement and the
recommended mounting height above the range.
IMPORTANT!
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the customer's responsibility:
• To contact a qualified electrical installer;
• To ensure that the electrical installation is in
compliance with applicable codes and standards.
Note
• It is important to install the range hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result
in heat damage and fire hazard while hoods mounted
too high will be out of reach and hense reduce its
performance and efficiency.
Minimum Duct Size:
• Round: 6" minimum.
• Rectangular: 3-1/4" x 10" minimum.
Electrical Requirements:
• A 120V, 60Hz., AC only, 15A fused electrical circuit is
required.
• Wire sizes and connections must conform with the
power rating of the range hood and all applicable
codes and standards.
• DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
• The 3-prong outlet should be grounded. If the
power cord plug is not used, the power cord’s green
wire should be connected to ground. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are not sure that the
range hood is properly grounded.
• DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.
• The range hood must be connected with copper
wire/plug only.
• The range hood should be connected directly to the
fused disconnect box (or circuit breaker) through
flexible armored or non-metallic sheathed copper
cable. ETL listed strain relief must be provided at
each end of the power supply cable.
