location) must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance
with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.

4. Provide sufficient air for proper combustion and exhausting
of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent backdrafting. Follow the combustion equipment
standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and local codes.

5. This product may have sharp edges. Be careful to avoid cuts
and abrasions during installation and cleaning.

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 intermittantly.

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 30” above cooktop for best capture of
cooking impurities.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

For performance, appearance, and health reasons, clean filter,
fan and grease-laden surfaces. Use only a clean cloth and mild
detergent solution on stainless and painted surfaces.

Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate
detergent. Discoloration of the filter 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.

Clean the non-duct recirculating filter surfaces frequently with a
damp cloth and a mild detergent. DO NOT immerse filters in water
or put in dishwasher. For replacement non-duct recirculating filter

- purchase S97018889 or Model BPBF30.

The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If
the motor bearings make excessive or unusual noise, replace
the motor with the exact service motor. The impeller should also
be replaced.

1 Determine whether hood will discharge vertically, or

horizontally. For vertical or horizontal discharge, run
ductwork between the hood location and a roof cap or
wall cap. For best results, use a minimum number of
transitons and elbows.

2 Use the proper diagram below, for placement of ductwork

and electrical cutout in cabinet or wall. For a non-ducted
