WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

• Do not use this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.

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

• This unit must be grounded.

• When installing, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.

• 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.

INSTALLATION, USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY

WARNING

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. Crepes Suzette, Cherries

Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé). 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 - violent steam explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already 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

• For indoor residential use only.

• To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air

into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

• Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.

• Avoid using food products that produce flames under the Range Hood.

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

• To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray,

construction dust, etc. off power unit.

• 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.

• The bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 24” and recommended at a maximum of 30” above

the cooktop for best capture of cooking impurities.

• Two installers are recommended.

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

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

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

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 (sold separately). Connect metal ductwork to cap and work back towards the hood location. Use 2” metal foil duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

FIG. 1

OPTIONAL LINERS

For installations where the power module is less than 30” above cook top, it is recommended that the power module be mounted into a metal liner. This will allow easier cleaning and provide protection to the cabinetry. Refer to table at right to find

the liner model corresponding to the cabinet style and width. Visit www.broan.com or www.broan.ca to view specific model information.

PREPARE THE CABINET

NOTES: A. The power module has to be installed inside the cabinet, at minimum 1” from the rear wall. If installing with one of the optional liners, use it as a template to cut the hole in the bottom of the cabinet.

B. The internal height of cabinet has to be minimum 16”. C. The hood should be mounted centered over the

cook top burners. D. For cabinet without bottom, go to Alternate

mounting in INSTALL THE POWER MODULE section on next page.

1. Cut a hole in the bottom of the cabinet, using the dimensions shown (Fig. 2), or use the optional liner as a template.

2. Secure 2 wood blocks having 2½” minimum height x 10¼” long (not included) inside the cabinet, on left and right sides of the hole, flush to the edges (Fig. 3).

3. Secure the optional liner (Fig. 4) using 4 mounting screws (included with the liner).

INSTALL THE POWER MODULE

1. Remove the grease filter by pushing down on its latch tab and tilting the filter downward (Fig. 5). Set aside the filter.

2. Remove the parts bag taped inside the power module.

3. Disassemble the electrical compartment cover (grey part in Fig. 6) from inside the power module by removing both its retaining screws. Set aside the cover along with its screws.

4. Run house power cable between service panel and power module location. Stub out a 2-foot length of power cable

inside the cabinet. Attach the power cable to the power module using an appropriate 7/8” diameter strain relief (not included).

5. Insert the power module in the cabinet (Fig. 7) and secure to the wood blocks previously installed using (4) wood screws included in parts bag (2 screws per side).

Alternate mounting:

6. For installation in a cabinet without bottom, insert the power module in the liner. Install 2 wood blocks having 2½” minimum height x 10¼” long (not included), on top of the liner and on left and right side of the power module. Secure the power module to the wood blocks using (4) wood screws included in parts bag (2 screws per side) (Fig. 8).

CONNECT DUCTWORK

Ducted Installation

Use 7” round metal duct to connect the discharge collar on the power module to the ductwork above. An optional 7” round damper, model BP87Q, may be used (purchase separately).

NOTE: Due to its design, the BP87Q 7” round damper cannot be installed directly over the power module discharge collar; if this damper has to be installed, it must be attached between two sections of 7” round metal duct (Fig. 11). Use metal foil tape to make all joints secure and air tight.

Non-Ducted Installation

The 358NDK non-duct kit is required for this type of installation (purchase separately). To install, follow the intructions packed with this kit.

WIRING

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Electrical wiring must be done by qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Before connecting wires, switch power off at service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
