WARNING
TO REDUCETHE RiSK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR iNJURY
TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer, tf
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 quali-
fied person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and stan-
dards.
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
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 electri-
cal 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 fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
10.This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCETHE RiSK OF A RANGETOP 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
flaming foods.
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the
size of the surface element.
TO REDUCETHE RISK OF INJURYTO PERSONS INTHE EVENT
OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOW-
iNG:*
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 - 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 fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire 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 specification label on product for further information
and requirements.
IMPORTANT: OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDI-
NANCES
Your range hood has been designed to filter out smoke, odors, and
grease which rise from the cooking surface. Before you being the
installation be sure that all parts and accessories are removed from
carton. For best results and ease in the installation of this range
hood, read the instructions sheet to become familiar with the step-
by-step installation.

4. Select one of the three types of venting available:
Non-Vented -- Remove vent cover from hood front. Replace
the aluminum filter with a non-ducted filter (BP57 or R610050
- purchase separately). Go to "Preparing the Installation Loca-
tion".
VENTC0VER

7" ROUND DUCT VENTING :3 I/4" x IO" RECTANGULAR VENTING
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 flap. 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 soffits above cabinets where soffit connects to outside
walls.
PREPARING THE
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 BE-
TWEEN BACK OF HOOD ANDWALL.THIS IS NORMAL.

PLANNING DUCTWORK
INSTALLATION
This section for vented hoods only. Non-vented hoods skip
this section and go on to "Preparing the Installation Loca=
tion".
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.
\ "L_
FILLER STRIP \
1. For cabinets with recessed bottoms only: Install wood filler
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).

Wall Cap Discharge: Use saber saw or keyhole saw to cut hole
slightly larger than duct size used so that duct will line up easily
with damper/duct connector on hood. Install casing strips if cap
will be installed on siding. Attach required amount of duct to wall
cap and run duct back to hood. Fasten cap to wall and caulk well.
Make sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the duct will
overlap the damper/duct connector when the hood is installed.
Roof Cap Discharge: Cut a hole in roof slightly larger than duct
size being used. Trim shingles around hole so that they will fit
snugly around hood of cap when cap is installed. Assemble the
ductwork and tape Bitjoints. Run ductwork down to hood location.
Make sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the duct
will overlap damper/duct connector when hood is put into place.
Leave 3/4" of duct projecting above roof surface on high side.
Trim duct parallel to roof pitch and seal all around duct with roof
cement.
Carefully trim shingles and slide back of roof sheet under shingles.
Nail roof sheet to roof under shingles at top two corners and two
sides. Nail sheet directly to roof in four places at bottom.
Using roof cement, seal all nail heads and shingles which were
cut or lifted. Do not seal bottom edge of roof sheet.
6. Screw the four supplied screws for mounting the hood into the
exact center of the narrow end of the keyhole slots marked
underneath the cabinet. Allow 3/8" of the screws to project,
so the hood can be fitted into place.
INSTALLING THE
DUCTWORK
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR VENTED HOODS ONLY.
NON=VENTED HOODS SKIP THIS SECTION AND GO ON TO
"INSTALLING THE RANGE HOOD".
START ATTHE EXTERIOR AND RUN DUCTWORK BACKTO
THE RANGE HOOD.
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE OF YOUR RANGE HOOD, USE
THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE DUCT RUN AND A MINIMUM
NUMBER OF ELBOWS.
NEVER VENT A RANGE HOOD INTO AN ATTIC SPACE
BECAUSE A BUILDUP OF GREASE WILL BECOME A FIRE
HAZARD.
USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK (DO NOT USE PLASTIC
DUCT). ASSEMBLE SECURELY SO THAT IN CASE OF A
GREASE FIRE ON THE RANGE, THE FIRE WiLL BE CON=
TAINED INSIDE METAL DUCTWORK.

2.
Run electric wiring through hole drilled in wall or cabinet.
Split wiring for 6" and install proper connector for type of wire
used.
3. Position hood so that:
a.) Wiring is routed through knockout opening.
b.) Large part of keyhole slots fit over hood mounting
screws.
c.) Damper/duct connector slides into ductwork (3-1/4" x 10"
vented hoods only)
4. Adjust hood so that hood front is flush with cabinet frame.
5. Tighten hood mounting screws firmly.
