IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

8.When applicable local regulations comprise more restrictive installation and/or certification requirements, the aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this document and the installer agrees to conform to these at his own expenses.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1.Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium setting.

2.Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

3.Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

4.Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

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 - a 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.For indoor use only.

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

3.To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, this range hood should not be used with an additional solid-state speed control device.

4.To reduce the risk of shock, disconnect power before servicing.

5.To reduce the 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.

PLAN THE INSTALLATION

1.Mounting height MUST BE at a minimum of 22” and at a maximum of 30” above the cooking surface from the bottom edge of the range hood.

2.The hood shall be mounted to the bottom of a standard wall cabinet. If the hood must be mounted directly to a wall, secure the hood to wall studs.

3.All wiring must comply with local codes and the unit must be properly grounded. Connection should be made to a 110-120 VAC lighting circuit (15A) in the circuit breaker or fuse box.

This range hood is “Convertible”, it may be installed as a ducted or as a non-ducted unit.
