FOR DOMESTIC COOKING ONLY.

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 of 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. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this range
hood with an additional speed control device.

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

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 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 - violent
steam explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you al-

ready 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 so that the top of the hood is 24-30” above the
cooking surface.

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

Installer: Leave this manual with
the homeowner.

Homeowner: Operating and
Cleaning information on page 5.

NOTE If hood is to be installed Non-Ducted:

• Purchase a set of (2) non-ducted filters from your

local distributor or retailer and attach them to the
aluminum mesh filters.

1 Determine whether hood will discharge vertically (3¼” x 10”

or 7” Round), horizontally (3¼” x 10” only) or non-ducted. For
vertical or horizontal discharge, run ductwork between the
hood location and a roof cap or wall cap. For best results,
use a minimum number of transitons and elbows.

2 Use diagrams, below, for proper placement of ductwork and

electrical cutout in cabinet or wall. For a non-ducted installa­tion, DO NOT cut a duct access hole.
