SAFETY PROCEDURES FOR INSTALLING YOUR

NEW PRIZER HOOD (continued)

CAUTION – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to people, observe the following:

CAUTION – For general ventilation use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials or vapors.

1.Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified installer in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including re-rated construction.

2.Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and gas exhaustion through the flue to prevent backdrafting.

Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection

Association (NFPA), and the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local building code authorities.

3.When cutting/drilling into a wall or ceiling, avoid damage to electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

4.In-hood or in-line fans must be vented to the outdoors.

5.All range hoods should be connected to a dedicated, non-GFCI circuit to prohibit damage to components.

6.NEVER place a control switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.

7.CAUTION – To reduce the risk of fire within walls or roofs, use only metal ductwork.

8.Install this hood in accordance with all requirements specified by the manufacturer of your cooktop/range.

9.Install this hood using required clearance from cooking surface to combustible material specified in cooktop installation instructions.

READ & SAVE: UPON RECEIVING YOUR HOOD

•Any damage must be reported to Prizer Hoods prior to installation. Once installed, no returns will be accepted.

•The high degree of craftsmanship in the construction and finish of your hood requires careful handling to ensure proper installation.

•Do not remove your hood from its carton until you are ready to hang it.

•Do not store your hood anywhere other than within the carton. If it is necessary to remove your hood from the carton, place it on a blanket or padded area that will protect your hood from scratches or indentations.

•Remove all rings, watches, belt buckles and jackets (snaps/zippers) to prevent scratches on the hood.

•Wearing cotton gloves are preferred. They will protect the surface from fine scratches and eliminate fingerprints.

•Do not lift the hood by its utensil rail. Place your fingers under the lower reveal of the hood. Grasp firmly and lift.

•If applicable, do not remove the protective covering from your hood until the installation process is complete. It will be necessary to remove only a small portion on the back side for a wall mounted hood in order to position in place.

•Located within the hood cavity (behind the baffles) are component parts and halogen bulbs.

WALL HOOD INSTALLATION

1.The hood is shipped with the back panel and the transition. (Note: The transition is shipped upside down within the hood and can be flipped for rear discharge if desired. It must be removed then reinstalled – See Figures 1 though 3)

2.Detach the transition from the back panel removing four (4) screws. These shipping screws are needed for re-attaching the transition to the back panel.

3.Secure the transition to the top of the back panel, using the four (4) screws provided. Use duct tape to seal the joints of the transition and the top of the back panel. (See Figure 2)

4.Secure the back side of the hood to wall stud following building code in your area. (See Figure 3)

5

WALL HOOD INSTALLATION (continued)

1.Add 2” x 4” wood framing block to aid in securing the top and rear of the hood to the wall. (See Figure 6)

2.To mount CFM300, CFM600 and CFM1200 fans within hood walls. (See Figures 8, 9, 10 & 11)

3.Install the fan by aligning the fan holes with the PEM studs on the back panel. Tighten the fan to the panel using the hex nuts provided. (See Figures 8, 9, 10 & 11)

4.Connect the “Molex” from the fan to the “Molex” plug on the hood. (See Figure 4 from previous page)

5.Attach three wires: black, white and green (#16 AWG) in

½” conduit from the service panel to the hood junction box. Power supply must be rated for 120v, 60Hz, 15 amps (minimum).

6.Remove the junction box from the rough-in plate. Connect black wire to power supplied black wire, white wire to power supplied white wire and green wire to ground supplied green wire.

7.Place all wiring connectors inside junction box.

OPTIONAL DUCT COVER

1.Install the hood as described in “Hood Rough-in Plate Mount” (Note:

Be sure to allow enough room for duct cover width on the top section of the rough-in plate.

2.Slide duct cover into opening.

3.Attach Duct Cover from the inside of the hood through filter opening using screws. (See Figure 7) Note: Do not completely tighten screws until all components have been installed. At this point, check the alignment of the duct to the hood. First tighten the four corners to secure the duct, then tighten the remaining screws.
