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.	Wear safety gloves before every installation
2.	NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
3.	DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - violent	and/or maintenance operation

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.

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.

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”).

8.Replace the grease filters.
