• Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with these installation instructions.
• Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged electrical conduit or wires, if it is not
working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, observe the following:
a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s)
in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.
b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through
the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. 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.
c) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and
other hidden utilities.
d) Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.
e) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have
questions, contact the manufacturer.
f) 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 service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely
fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
• 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 this is properly
installed and grounded.
• Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
5
• 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 this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.

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.

The pilot lamp lights up whenever the blower is on.
Auto-Start Heat Sensing System
Your hood is equipped with an Auto-Start Heat Sensing
System thermostat. This thermostat is a device that will turn
on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above
the cooking surface.
1 If blower is OFF - it turns blower ON to HIGH speed.
2 If blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns blower
up to HIGH speed.
When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will
return to its original setting.
WARNING
The Auto-Start Heat Sensing System thermostat can start the blower even if the hood is
turned OFF. When this occurs, it is impossible to turn the blower OFF with its switch. If you
must stop the blower, do it from the main electrical panel.

Care and Cleaning
CLEANING THE FILTERS AND HOOD
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.
See “INSTALL FILTERS” section for removal and installation instructions.
Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will
help preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
1 Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
2 Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth
to avoid water marks.
3 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.
4 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.
5 DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
6 DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may
adhere to the surface causing rust.
7 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.

INSTALLING THE DUCTWORK
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
1 Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside. Figure 5.
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 roof or wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back
towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork
sections.

Saving Energy
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1 Do not operate the blower at a speed that is higher than necessary to
remove the cooking exhaust. Running at excessive speeds removes more air
from the inside of the house that must be replaced by outside air. This may
be especially costly when the housing air conditioning or heating system is in
operation.
2 Clean filters and grease-laden surfaces often to improve efficiency.
3 Turn off the blower as soon as all cooking smoke and odors have been
eliminated.
4 Always use lids on cookware to retain heat and moisture.
5 Minimize the amount of liquid used to cook food.
6 Select cookware of the proper size, material and construction for the cooking
task being performed.
