WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSON(S) 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 switch 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), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.

5. This product may have sharp edges. Be careful to avoid cuts and abrasions during installation and cleaning.

6. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

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

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

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 cooking flaming foods

(i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate

on fan or filters.

d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the

surface element.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSON(S) 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 know you have 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 indoor use only.

2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive

materials and vapors.

3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impeller, keep

drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

4. 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 cool down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.

5. The bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 24” and at a maximum of

30” above cooktop for best capture of cooking impurities.

6. Two installers are recommended because of the size of this hood.

7. To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do

not exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

8. Be careful when installing the decorative flue and hood, they may have sharp

edges.

9. Please read specification label on product for further information and

requirements.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

For performance, appearance, and health reasons, clean filter, fan and grease-laden surfaces regularly. Use only a clean cloth and mild detergent solution on stainless and painted surfaces.

Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filter may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.

Clean the non-duct recirculating filter surfaces frequently with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. DO NOT immerse filters in water or put in dishwasher. Change the nonduct recirculating filters every 6 months. For replacement non-duct recirculating filters

- purchase S97018968 or Model AFCWTT32 (for 30” wide hood) or S97019039 or Model AFCWTT326 (for 36” and 42” wide hoods).

The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings make excessive or unusual noise, replace the blower assembly with an exact service replacement.

The minimum hood distance above cooktop MUST NOT BE LESS than 24”. A maximum of 30” above cooktop is highly recommended for best capture of

cooking impurities. Distances over 30” are at the installer and users discretion; providing that the

ceiling height permits.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK (Ducted Hoods Only)

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.

2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.

3. Long duct runs, elbows and transitions will reduce the performance of the

hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.

4. Install wall cap or roof cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back

towards the hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.
