Important Safety Instructions
General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
WARNING
• If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
• Do not install or operate this hood if it has been damaged, dropped, has damaged electrical wires or is not working properly. If the product is damaged when received, immediately contact the dealer or builder.
• This range hood must be installed and grounded by a qualified installer according to these installation instructions.
• Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with these installation instructions and the requirements specified by the manufacturer of the cooktop or range. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause serious personal injury or property damage.
• The customer should not install, repair or replace any part of the range hood unless specifically recommended
in the literature accompanying it. A qualified service technician should perform all other service.
• Keep all packaging materials away from children. Plastic bags can cause suffocation.
• Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance.
• The installer must show the customer the location of the fuse box or circuit breaker panel so that the customer
knows where and how to turn the power off.
• Read the use and care manual completely before using the appliance. Clean the appliance only as instructed in
the use and care manual. Use only the cleaners specified.
• Clean the filter(s) and all grease-laden surfaces often to prevent grease fires and maintain performance. Never
allow the filter(s) to become blocked or clogged. Do not allow foreign objects, such as cigarettes or napkins, to
be sucked into the hood.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• If the range or cooktop and range hood are near a window, use an appropriate window treatment. Avoid long
drapes or other window coverings that could blow over the cooktop and hood, resulting in a fire hazard.
• Never leave the range or cooktop unattended when a burner (or element) is in use. Boil-overs and greasy spills
may smoke and/or ignite.
• Do not leave children or pets alone or unattended in the area where the range or cooktop and range hood are
in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on an appliance. Do not let children play with a range, cooktop or
range hood. Do not store items of interest to children above or around the cooktop, range or range hood.
• The minimum vertical distance between the cooking surface and the exterior part of the hood must be no less
than 30” (76.2 cm). The vertical distance may be longer for the range or cooktop being used. Consult the range
or cooktop installation instructions for the minimum and maximum vertical distance from the appliance being
used.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCT WORK.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) 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.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or towels - a violent steam explosion may result.
d) Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
• You have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
• The fire department is being called.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

■ All contact surfaces between the hood and any cabi-
nets or walls must be solid and at right angles.
■ Install the range hood and cooking appliance(s) so
that they can be removed if service is required.
■ Plan the installation so that all minimum dimensions
are met or exceeded. Dimensions shown above provide minimum clearances, unless otherwise noted.
