WARNING

SUITABLE FOR USE IN HOUSEHOLD
COOKING AREA.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL
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 solid-state speed
control device.

8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only steel
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 cooking flaming foods.

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.

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 extin-

guisher 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” pub-

lished by NFPA.

CAUTION

1. 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.

2. Take care when using cleaning agents or
detergents.

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

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

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

6. 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.

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

8. Two installers are recommended because of the
large size and weight of this hood.

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

INSTALL BACKSPLASH (OPTIONAL)

If optional backsplash is used, attach it to the
finished wall. Secure hood mounting bracket
to the backsplash and omit wall framing
described below.

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.

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.

4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect 6" round
metal ductwork to cap and work back to­wards hood location. Use duct tape to seal
the joints between ductwork sections.

WIRING

Note: This range hood must be properly
grounded. The unit should be installed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with all
applicable national and local electrical
codes.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

Set the electrical power supply within the space covered by the decorative flues.
Position the power socket at a maximum distance of 33-7/16” (850 mm) from where

the lead exits from the hood (see illustration alongside). Make sure this does not
interfere with the bracket fastening area or with the decorative pipe (where the flue
touches the wall).

Fit the plug into the power socket.

CONNECT DUCTWORK

Adjust the width of the flue mounting bracket using screws (A) indicated in Figure.
Use screws (B) and wall anchors to secure flue mounting bracket to the ceiling as

shown.

MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will
assure proper performance of the unit.

Grease Filter

The grease filter should be cleaned fre-
quently. Use a warm detergent solution.
Grease filter is dishwasher safe.

Remove filter by pushing filter towards the
back of hood and rotating filter downward.

Ductfree Filters

The ductfree filters should be changed every 6 months. Rotate the filters to remove
and replace.

Hood Cleaning

Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help
preserve its fine appearance.

Cleaning tips:

• Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.

• Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to
avoid water marks.

• For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser
or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.

• For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with
cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the
stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar the surface.

• DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.

• DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere
to the surface causing rust.

• DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to
remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these com­pounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after expo­sure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
