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 panel 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 a qualied person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
4. Sufcient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the ue (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), 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 solid-state speed control device.
8. To reduce the risk of re, use only metal ductwork.
9. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
10.This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
1. 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.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking
aming foods.
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on fan or lter.
4. 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-tting lid, cookie sheet, or
metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT
BURNS. If the ames 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 - a
violent steam explosion will result.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already
know how to operate it.
B. The re is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The re department is being called.
D. You can ght the re with your back to an exit.
*Based on “Kitchen Firesafety 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. For best capture of cooking impurities, your range hood should
be mounted 18-25” above the cooking surface.
4. Please read specication label on product for further information
and requirements.

2. Remove junction box cover.

3. Remove top or rear electrical knockout.
4. Select one of the three types of venting available:
Non-Vented — Remove vent cover from hood front. Replace
the aluminum lter with a non-ducted lter (BP57 or R610050
- purchase separately). Go to "Preparing the Installation Loca-
tion".
VENT COVER
➀
➂
Rectangular Vented — 3-1/4" x 10" vertical or horizontal. Re-
move knockout #➁ for vertical or knockout #➂ for horizontal
venting. Install damper/duct connector over opening. Go to
"Planning Ductwork Installation".
Ducting directly through the wall (for range hoods mounted
on an exterior wall). Shown are two ways to duct through an
outside wall. If a wall cap is used directly off the back of the
hood, special care must be taken to make sure that the damper
in the damper/duct connector on the hood and damper in the
wall cap do not interfere with each other when the hood is
operating. This could result in either inadequate air delivery
or back drafts. If this condition does exist, remove the hood
damper ap. Sometimes when using a wall cap, it is easier to
duct vertically and then use an elbow.
Ducting straight up through roof using 3-1/4" x 10" or 7" round
duct. For single story installations.
Ducting between ceiling joists for multi-story installations or
through softs above cabinets where soft connects to outside
walls.

INsTAllATION lOCATION
NOTE: MOUNT HOOD SO THAT BOTTOM OF HOOD IS 18"
TO 25" ABOVE COOKING SURFACE. TOP FRONT OF HOOD
SHOULD BE FLUSH WITH FRONT OF CABINET FRAME.
IF DISTANCE BETWEEN WALL AND FRONT OF CABINET
FRAME IS MORE THAN 12", THERE WILL BE A SPACE BETWEEN BACK OF HOOD AND WALL. THIS IS NORMAL.
OMIT STEP 1 IF HOOD WILL BE INSTALLED UNDER CABINETS WITH FLUSH BOTTOM.

exposing duct collar. Go to "Planning Ductwork Installation".
plANNING dUCTWORk
INsTAllATION
This section for vented hoods only. Non-vented hoods skip
this section and go on to "Preparing the Installation Location".
Begin planning ductwork by deciding where duct will run between
hood and outside. For best performance, use shortest possible
duct run and a minimum number of elbows. There are several
choices.
FILLER STRIP
1. For cabinets with recessed bottoms only: Install wood ller
strips on each side of recessed area under cabinet. Use two
1" x 2" strips cut to length (use thicker strips if necessary).
Fasten strips with wood screws about 3" in from each end.
2. Measure and mark the following:
a.) Electrical wiring opening in wall or cabinet.
b.) Duct opening in wall or cabinet (vented hoods only).
