WARNING WARNING

- 2 -

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 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 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), 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 other than RMIPWC optional wall mounted control.

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

9. This unit must be grounded.

10.

When applicable local regulations comprise more restrictive installation and/or certification requirements, the aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this document and the installer agrees to conform to these at his own expenses.

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.

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

d) 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 – This could cause a violent steam explosion.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if: A. You own 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 impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

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

5. The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less than 24”. A maximum of 30” above cooktop is highly recommended for best capture of cooking impurities.

6. Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this unit.

7. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside – Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics, crawl space or garage.

8. This product is equipped with a thermostat which may start blower automatically. To reduce the risk of injury and to prevent power from being switched on accidentally, switch power off at service panel and lock or tag service panel.

9. Because of the high exhausting capacity of this unit, you should make sure enough air is entering the house to replace exhausted air by opening a window close to or in the kitchen.

10. To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, the Broan Elite models RMIP33 and RMIP45 must be installed only with Broan interior blower models P5 or P8; Broan exterior models 331H, 332H, 335 or 336; Broan in-line blowers models HLB3, HLB6, HLB9, HLB11. Other blowers cannot be substituted. (Blowers sold separately).

11. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.

12. Please read specification label on product for

further information and requirements.

1. SELECT BLOWER OPTION AND INSTALL DUCTWORK

Either an interior or exterior blower or in-line blower may be used with this insert. The insert model RMIP33 or RMIP45 must be installed with blower models P5, P8, HLB3, HLB6, HLB9, HLB11, 331H, 332H, 335 or 336 only. Other blowers cannot be substituted. (Blowers sold separately).

Plan where and how the ductwork will be installed. Access to the top of the hood is preferred for connection of ductwork. As an alternative, flexible metal ductwork may be used.

If installing in-line blower, refer to instructions packed with in-line blower and follow steps 1 up to 8, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19 and up of this manual.

Install proper-sized ductwork, elbows and roof or wall cap for the type of blower you are installing. Use round ductwork, with a short section (about 4’ expanded) of flexible metal duct (optional) for attachment to the transition. Use screws to attach flexible metal duct to the rigid duct. Use 2” duct tape to seal duct joints.

The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less than 24”. A maximum of 30” above cooktop is highly recommended for best capture of cooking impurities.

Distances over 30” are at the installer and users discretion.
