WARNING

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 the 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 a quali­fied person(s) 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 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 range hood with an additional speed control
device.

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

9. 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 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 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 - 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 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. For best capture of cooking impurities, your range hood should
be mounted 18-24" above the cooking surface.

4. Please read specification label on product for further
information and requirements.

5. This range hood is designed for use with two (2) wall-mounted,
general-use, 15-Amp switches for control of the fan and light
(purchase separately).

PLANNING DUCTWORK

PREPARE THE HOOD

INSTALLATION

Begin planning ductwork by deciding where the duct will run be­tween the range hood and the outside. For best performance, use
the shortest possible duct run and a minimum number of elbows.

ROOF CAP

5" ROUND DUCT

MODEL P85

DAMPER

Straight up through the roof using 5" round duct (for single story
installations only).

1. Unpack hood and check contents. You should receive:

1 -Aluminum Filter

2. Remove wiring box cover. Under cover find:

1 -Plastic Bag containing loose mounting hard-

ware

3. Remove top or rear electrical knockout.

ADJUSTABLE

ELBOW

WALL CAP

5" ROUND

DUCT

Ducting between the ceiling joists (for multi-story installations) or
through the soffit space above the cabinets (where the soffit con­nects to an outside wall).

4. Install Model P85 damper over opening in top of hood. Use
three (3) screws provided with damper.

PREPARE THE
INSTALLATION LOCATION

Omit STEP 1 if hood will be installed under cabinets with flush
bottom.

1. (For installation on recessed bottom cabinets only) Attach a
wood filler strip at each side of recessed area under cabinet.
Use two 1" x 2" strips cut to length. If recess is deeper than 1"
use thicker strips. Attach strips with 1-1/4" wood screws, 3"
from each end of strip.

Optional: Attach wood filler strips under front and back of cabi­net and use additional 3/16” diameter mounting holes in hood.

These instructions will follow plans made on Page 2. Start
at the exterior and run ductwork back to the range hood.

For best possible performance, use the shortest possible
duct run and a minimum number of elbows. Do not vent a
range hood into an attic space. A buildup of grease in the
attic could become a fire hazard.

Use only metal ductwork. DO NOT USE PLASTIC DUCT.

5. Center hood in installation opening and trace keyhole slots onto
wood filler strips on cabinet bottom.

6. Screw four #10 x 7/8 wood screws into exact center of narrow
end of traced keyhole slots. Allow 3/8" of screws to project, so
that hood can be fitted into place later.

CABINET

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 conector 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.

ROOF CAP

¾"

Roof Cap Discharge: Cut a hole in roof slightly larger than duct
size being used. Run ductwork down to hood location. 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.
