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.This product may have sharp edges. Be carefule to avoid cuts and abrasions during installation or cleaning.
6.When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
7.Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
8.Do not use this unit with any other solid-state speed control device.
9.Use only metal ductwork.
10.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.
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 metaltray,thenturnofftheburner.BECAREFULTOPREVENT 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 cools 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 24” 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.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance of the unit.
MOTOR
The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings make excessive or unusual noise, replace the blower with the exact service blower.
GREASE FILTERS
The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm dishwashing detergent solution. Grease filters are dishwasher safe.
Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent.Discoloration of the filters may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions - but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.
Remove grease filters by pulling down on the metal latch tab.This will disengage the filters from the hood. Tilt the filters downward and remove.
NON-DUCTED RECIRCULATION FILTERS
The non-ducted recirculation filters should be changed every 6 months. Replace more often if your cooking style generates extra grease, such as frying and wok cooking. Turn the filter mounting tabs to remove filter and replace.
STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING
DO:
•Regularly wash 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’T:
•Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
•Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
•Allow dirt to accumulate.
•Let plaster dust or any other construction residues reach the hood. During construction/renovation, cover the range hood to
make sure no dust sticks to the 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.

1.GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
NOTE:
A recessed “clock” outlet is recommended.
2.Position the electrical outlet within the space covered by the decorative flue and where it will not interfere with the round duct. Make sure the outlet does not interfere with the mounting bracket fastening area, ductwork, or where the decorative flue touches the wall.
