Important safety Notice
CAUTION
FOR GENERAL VENTILATING USE ONLY. DO NOT USE
TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE
MATERIALS OR VAPOURS.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer.
B. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at
service panel and lock service panel 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.
C. Installation Work and Electrical Wiring Must Be Done By
Qualified Person(s) In Accordance With All Applicable
Codes & Standards, Including Fire-rated Construction.
D. 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 manufacturers guideline and safety
standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
E. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
F. Ducted systems must always be vented to the outdoors.
CAUTION
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, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, or
garages.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet, or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or
the electric element. 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 dishcloths or
towels - a violent steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
OPERATION
a. Always leave safety grills and filters in place. Without
these components, operating blowers could catch onto hair,
fingers and loose clothing.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of
failure to observe the instructions given here for installation,
maintenance and suitable use of the product. The
manufacturer further declines all responsibility for injury due
to negligence and the warranty of the unit automatically
expires due to improper maintenance.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL
DUCT WORK.
Install this hood in accordance with all requirements
specified.
WARNING
To Reduce The Risk Of Fire Or Electric Shock, Do Not
Use This Hood With Any External Solid State Speed
Control Device.
WARNING
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
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.

Electrical & Installation requirements
Electrical requirements
IMPORTANT
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the customer’s responsibility:
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
— latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No.0-M91 - latest
edition** and all local codes and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure range
hood is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
IMPORTANT
Save Installation Instructions for electrical inspector’s use.
The range hood must be connected with copper wire only.
The range hood should be connected directly to the fused
disconnect (Or circuit breaker) box through metal electrical
conduit.
Before installing the hood
1. For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run
or as few elbows as possible.
CAUTION: Vent unit to outside of building, only.
2. At least two people are necessary for installation.
3. Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most
types of walls/ceilings, consult a Qualified Installer,
check if they perfectly fit with your cabinet/wall.
4. Do not use flex ducting.
5. COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional
backdraft damper installed to minimize backward cold air
flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize
conduction of outside temperatures as part of the
ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side of
the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the
ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
6. Make up air: Local building codes may require the use of
Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted Ventilation
Systems greater than specified CFM of air movement.
The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult
your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your
area.
Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition*, or CSA
Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and
C22.2 No. 0-M91 - latest edition** and all local codes and
ordinances.
A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector must be provided
at each end of the power supply conduit (at the range hood
and at the junction box).
Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:
* National Fire Protection Association Batterymarch Park Quincy,
Massachusetts 02269
** CSA International 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road Cleveland,
Ohio 44131-5575
