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 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.

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 expense.

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

flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed

to accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts.

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

size of the surface element.

!

WARNING

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

impeller, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

4. 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.

5. The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less

than 24". For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom
of the hood should be at a maximum of 30" above cooking
surface.

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. 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.

9. To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, the Broan Elite

EW43 Series models should only be installed with their own
built-in blower.

10. When used in recirculation mode, to reduce the risk of fire and

shock, use only conversion kit model ARKEW43.

11. Please read specification label on product for further information

and requirements.

warranty. To minimize or prevent discoloration, hand wash filters using a mild detergent.

Non-ducted Filters

Change the non-duct recirculation filters every 6 months. Purchase S99010473 for 24-in. and 30-in. widths range hoods or S99010474 for
36-in. width range hoods.

Hood Cleaning

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.

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.

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 hood to make
sure no dust sticks to stainless steel surface.

warranties are exclusive and in lieu of any other warranties and conditions, express or implied. THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES

ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, AND DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS
IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

To the extent that applicable law prohibits the exclusion of implied warranties or conditions, the duration of any applicable implied warranty or
condition is limited to the period specified for the express warranty above. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Any oral or written description of the Product is for the sole purpose of identifying it
and shall not be construed as an express warranty.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Limited Warranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,

SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCT, ITS USE OR PERFORMANCE. Incidental damages

include but are not limited to such damages as loss of time and loss of use. Consequential damages include but are not limited to the cost of
repairing or replacing other property which was damaged if the Product does not work properly.

THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU, OR TO ANYONE CLAIMING UNDER YOU, FOR ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR
LIABILITIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT OR
WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR ANY THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT OR THE
COMPANY’S ACTS OR OMISSIONS OR OTHERWISE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not
apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The
disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under this warranty will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
This warranty covers only replacement or repair of defective Products or parts thereof at the Company’s main facility and does not include the cost
of field service travel and living expenses.
Any assistance the Company provides to or procures for you outside the terms, limitations or exclusions of this limited warranty will not constitute
a waiver of such terms, limitations or exclusions, nor will such assistance extend or revive the warranty.
The Company will not reimburse you for any expenses incurred by you in repairing or replacing any defective Product, except for those incurred
with the Company’s prior written permission.
