when cooking flaming foods. Clean ventilating fans frequently.Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on
fan or filter. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

S afety P ractices & P recautions

This euro hood system is designed to remove smoke,cooking vapors and odors from the cooktop
area.

WARNING: ALL WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS WHERE THE EURO HOOD IS INST ALLED MUST

BE SEALED.

Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given by the manufacturer before making any
cutouts. MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION- The installation of this euro hood must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards,Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly Federal
Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety,Title 24, HUD,Par t 280). Four wire power supply
must be used and the appliance wiring must be revised. See Electrical Requirements.

• Venting system MUST terminate outside the home.

• DO NOT terminate the ductwork in an attic or other enclosed space.

• DO NOT use 4" laundry-type wall caps.

• Flexible-type ductwork is not recommended.

• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

• Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a fire.

• Electrical ground is required on this euro hood.

• If cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic,non-metallic gaskets or other materials, DO NOT use for
grounding.

• DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.

• DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit
could result in electrical shock.

• Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the euro hood is properly
grounded.

• Failure to follow electrical requirements may result in a fire.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC AL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the
manufacturer. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service
disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the ser vice discon­necting means cannot be locked,securely fasten a prominent warning device,such as a tag, to the
service panel. Installation Work And Electrical Wiring Must Be Done By Qualified Person(s) In
Accordance With All Applicable Codes And Standards,Including Fire-Rated Construction. 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 guideline 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. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling,do not damage electrical wiring and
other hidden utilities.

NOTE: Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors .

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

Determine which venting method is best for your application. Ductwork can extend either through
the wall or the roof. The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should be kept to a mini­mum to provide efficient performance. The size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do not install
two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork system. Use caulking to seal
exterior wall or floor opening around the cap. Flexible ductwork is not recommended. If it is used,
each foot of flexible ductwork used is equivalent to two feet of straight metal ductwork when calculat­ing the duct run length. Thus,a flexible elbow equals two standard elbows. Make sure there is proper
clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making cutouts. Do not cut a joist or stud
unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

A 120 volt,60 Hz AC-only electrical supply is required on a separate 15 amp circuit,fused on both
sides of the line. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. The fuse must be sized per
local codes in accordance with the electrical rating of this unit as specified on the serial/rating plate
located inside the unit near the field wiring compartment.

THIS UNIT MUST BE CONNECTED WITH COPPER WIRE ONLY. Wire sizes must conform to the require­ments of the National Electrical Code,ANSI/NFPA 70 -latest edition,and all local codes and ordinances.
Wire size and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance. This appliance should be
connected directly to the fuse disconnect (or circuit breaker) through flexible,armored or non-metallic
sheathed copper cable. Allow some slack in the cable so the appliance can be moved if servicing is
ever necessary. A UL Listed, 1/2" conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply
cable (at the appliance and at the junction box). When making the electrical connection, cut a 1 1/4"
hole in the wall. A hole cut through wood must be sanded until smooth. A hole through metal must
have a grommet.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, DO NOT use this fan with any solid state speed

control device.

CAUTION: For General Ventilating Use Only.Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous or Explosive

Materials and Vapors.
