WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSON(S) 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 disconnecting means to prevent
power from being switch 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
qualified personnel 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 guidelines and safety standards such as
those published by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), 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 other solid-state speed control
device.

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

9. This unit must be grounded.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:

a) 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.

b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when

cooking flaming foods (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be

allowed to accumulate on fan or filters.

d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for

the size of the surface element.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSON(S)
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 –
This could cause a violent steam explosion.

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

know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it

started.
C. The fire department has been 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 indoor use only.

2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or
unbalanced impeller, keep drywall spray, construction dust,
etc. off power unit.

4. Do not use over cooking equipment greater than 60,000
BTU/hr. as the blower motor will shut down intermittently.

5. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated.
The motor will restart when it will cool down. If the motor
continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.

6. The bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 30” and
at a maximum of 36” above cooktop for best capture of
cooking impurities.

7. Two installers are recommended because of the size of
this hood.

8. To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure
to duct air outside. Do not exhaust air into spaces within
walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

9. Be careful when installing the decorative flue and hood, they
may have sharp edges.

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

COOKING SUFACE

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and
the outside.

2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform
most efficiently.

3. Long duct runs, elbows and transitions will reduce the
performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible.
Larger ducting may be required for best performance with
longer duct runs.

4. Install wall cap or roof cap. Connect round metal ductwork
to cap and work back towards the hood location. Use duct
tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

MAINTENANCE

Grease Filters

Grease filters should be cleaned monthly. Remove grease
filters by pulling down on the metal latch tab. This will
disengage the filter from the hood. Tilt the filter downward and
remove.

To clean all-metal filters: Use a warm detergent solution or
put them in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent.
Discoloration of the filter may occur if using phosphate
detergent or as a result of local water conditions - but this will
not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered
by the warranty.

Non-Duct Recirculation Filter

Change the non-duct recirculation filter every 6 months.

Hood Cleaning

How to maintain the bright look of stainless steel and help
prevent corrosion.

Dos:

- Once a month, wash surfaces with clean cloth or rag soaked
with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.

- Always clean in the direction of original polish lines.

- Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after
cleaning. Wipe dry completely.

- You may also use a specialized household stainless steel
cleaner.

Don’ts:

- Do not use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other
scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.

- Do not use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.

- Do not allow dirt to accumulate.

- Do not let plaster dust or any other construction residues
reach the hood. During construction or renovation, cover
the hood to make sure no dust sticks to stainless steel
surface.

Avoid: when choosing a detergent

- Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack stainless steel.

- Any products containing: chloride, fluoride, iodide,
bromide will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.

- Any combustible products used for cleaning such as
acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol, etc., are highly explosive
and should never be used close to a range.
