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

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

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.

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

EXTERIOR BLOWER SELECTION
This product is designed for use with the 331H, 332H, 335 or 336 Exterior
Ventilators.
The exterior ventilator must be UL listed for Canadian and U.S. use, and evaluated
for use with solid state speed control rated 120V, 60 Hz, 6.0 A max.
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. Larger ducting
may be required for best performance with
longer duct runs.
4. Install a exterior blower. Connect round
metal ductwork to exterior blower and work
back towards hood location. Use duct tape
to seal the joints between ductwork
sections.
5. An 8” to 10” transition (Model 414) will be
necessary to connect to the exterior
ventilator.
It is reccommended that the transition be
installed as near to the hood as possible.

MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will
assure proper performance of the unit.
Grease Filters
The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. Grease
filters are dishwasher safe.
Remove filter by pushing filter towards the back
of hood and rotating filter downward.
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.
