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 panel 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 a qualified person(s) 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 separate solid-state speed control device.

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

food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).

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.

CAUTION

1. For indoor use only.

2. 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.

3. Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.

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

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

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

7. 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.

8. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be a minimum of 22" and a maximum of 30" above the cooking surface.

9. Two installers are recommended.

10. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.

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

CAUTION

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 - 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.

Wear safety gloves before every installation and/or maintenance operation

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

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

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside (Refer to Figure 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 a roof or wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

CONNECT DUCTWORK

Ducted Configuration

1. Take the damper and assemble it onto the hood’s discharge

opening, pressing slightly.

2. Use 6" round metal duct to connect the discharge collar on the

hood to the ductwork above.

3. Use duct tape to make all joints secure and air tight.

Non-Ducted Recirculation Configuration

1. Connect a 6” round metal duct to the discharge opening so

that the air is sent outside the cabinet and sent back into the room.

2. Use duct tape to make all joints secure and air tight.

NON-DUCTED RECIRCULATION FILTERS INSTALLATION

Install the Non-ducted recirculation filters over the grease filters and secure them with the metal clips supplied with the Non-ducted recirculation Filters (Fig. 6).

3. Cut a hole in the bottom of the cabinet, using the dimensions shown (Fig. 4).

4. NOTE: For installations where the Power Pack is less than 30” above cook top, it is recommended that the Power Pack be mounted into a metal liner or non-combustible material. This will allow easier cleaning and provide protection to the cabinetry (Fig.5A).

5. Insert the hood in the cabinet (Fig. 5) or metal liner (Fig. 5A) and secure with the (4) “C” mounting sheet metal screws.

(Fig. 5 - wood bottom installation; recommended thickness 1/2”3/4”).

(For alternate mounting, use machine screws with washers and nuts. This alternate mounting method needs to be done prior to installation of metal liner).

6. Replace the filters support.

7. In the Non-Ducted Recirculation Configuration, install the Nonducted recirculation Filters before replacing the grease filters (see section “Non-ducted recirculation filters installation”).
