WARNING WARNING

- 2 -

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the

manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power

off at service panel and lock 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.

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be

done by qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.

4. 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 guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not

damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

7. Do not use this unit with any additional solid-state

speed control device.

8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only steel ductwork.

9. This unit must be grounded and protected by a

GFCI.

10. Suitable for use in damp locations only when

installed in a GFCI PROTECTED branch-circuit.

11. This unit is not designed for use with a charcoal

grill.

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 flambeing food (Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

d) Use proper pan size. 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, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:

1. 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.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—You may be

burned.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or

towels—This could cause a violent steam explosion.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if: A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you

know how to operate it.

B. The fire is small and contained in the area

where it started.

C. The fire department has been called. D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

3. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. The motor will restart when it will be cooled down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.

4. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be at a minimum of 30” and at a maximum of 36” above the cooking surface.

5. Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this hood.

6. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside—Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics, crawl space or garage.

7. This product is equipped with a thermostat which may start blower automatically. To reduce the risk of injury and to prevent power from being switched on accidentally, switch power off at service panel and lock or tag service panel.

8. To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, the Best by Broan WPD29M Series range hood must be installed with Best by Broan interior blower model

P12D; Best by Broan exterior blower models EB12 or EB15; Best by Broan in-line blowers model ILB11. Other blowers cannot be substituted. (Blowers sold separately.)

1. PREPARE THE HOOD LOCATION AND SELECT THE INSTALLATION TYPE

This exhaust hood is designed for use with gas or electric outdoor cooking appliances when operated in an outdoor covered patio or lanai area. As with all electric appliances, this unit should be protected from the effects of weather as much as possible.

Either an interior or exterior blower or in-line blower may be used with this hood. The Best by Broan WPD29M Series must be installed with blower models P12D, ILB11, EB12 or EB15 only. Other blowers cannot be substituted. (Blowers sold separately.)

Plan where and how the ductwork will be installed.

If installing ILB11 in-line blower, discard its rough-in plate. Refer to instructions packed with in-line blower and follow steps 1 up to 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and up of this manual.

Install 10” round galvanized steel ductwork, elbows and roof or wall cap for the type of blower you are installing. Use metal duct tape to seal duct joints.

The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less than 30’’. A maximum of 36” above cooktop is highly recommended for best capture of cooking impurities.

Distances over 36” are at the installer and users discretion. Run power cable to installation location.
