note

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING FAN AND
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

• Before beginning installation, please thoroughly read and become
familiar with these instructions.

• Installation and service must be completed by a qualified installer.

• Failure to properly install this product may void the warranty.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC 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 service 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) or burning equipment to prevent back
drafting. 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.

Practical tip

information

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

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-overs may
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly
on low or medium settings.

• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or 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.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE
TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

• 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 immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.

• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN You may be burned.

• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent

steam explosion will result.

• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

• Building codes require Makeup air for any hood system exhausting

over 400 cfm.

• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.

• Duct fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

• You know 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.

Planning the Installation

1. To reduce the risk of re and to properly exhaust air, the liner must
be exhausted to the outside. Never exhaust into a wall, an attic or a
concealed area in the building. This can create a potential hazard.

2. Consult a licensed ventilation contractor or qualied technician for
proper installation of exhaust ducting.

3. Locate the cooking area for minimum cross drafts – away from doors
and windows, when possible.

4. Ducts must be of adequate size and duct runs should be as short as
possible. Where turns are necessary, keep turning radius as large and
as smooth as possible.

5. The ducting must be air tight. Use a minimum of 2 sheet metal screws
at every duct joint. Then, seal the duct joints with high quality duct
tape.

6. Only use ductwork constructed of materials deemed acceptable by
state, municipal and local codes.

WARNINGS: Following Are Manufacturer’s Suggestions. Always Observe
Local Building Codes.

• Liners installed in custom canopies constructed of combustible
materials, should be installed with the combustible material structure
a minimum of 36” above the surface of the heating element.

• Liners installed in custom canopies constructed of non-combustible
materials, should be installed with the non-combustible material
structure a minimum of 30” above the surface of the heating element.

• Follow all instructions regarding minimum safe clearances and
installation location. Failure to do so may result in a safety hazard or
re.

• To reduce the risk of re use only metal ductwork.

• The hood liner is designed to install inside a custom hood enclosure

and operates with a remote mount blower (purchased separately). See
dimensional drawings (page 3) for hood dimensions. See chart (page 7)
for Fantech exhaust fans recommended for use with these units.

• A qualied person must complete the installation of this appliance.

• Plan the installation so that all minimum clearance are met or

exceeded.

• IMPORTANT: You must provide support framing and backing in the

areas in which you are securing the liner to in your custom canopy.
Failure to do so could damage the liner and void the warranty.

• The hood liner uses 120VAC, 60 Hz power. Supply wires should be
installed by a qualied person(s) and must meet all electrical codes.
The SGHL30 Hood Liner has 6” is desgined for use with 8” duct
connections, SGHL36 is designed for use with 8” diameter duct, the
SHL36 is designed for use with 8” diameter duct and the SHL42 &
SHL48 is designed for use with 10” diameter duct. Use only rigid metal
duct.

• For a truly quiet kitchen ventilation system add a Fantech “duct
silencer” (LD Series) to the installation. The simple addition of an inline
duct silencer between the hood liner and the remote fan can typically
reduce the “perceived” sound level of the system by more than 50%.
For more information visit www.fantech.net.

• A quality cap with built in backdraft damper or an inline damper is
recommended to minimize cold air return through the duct when the
product is not in use.

• Always install ventilation products with an approved wall or roof cap.

• Duct performance is improved by using round, smooth metal duct work

instead of rectangular.

Choosing the right remote mount blower (see page 7)

Look on page 7 for a list of Fantech fans recommended for use with the SHL & SGHL. Series Range Hood Liners. Some models remotely mount in
the attic. Other models are used when installation requires a roof mount or wall mount fan.

• If multiple elbows must be used, ensure that there is a minimum of 24”
of straight duct between any two elbows.

• Avoid ”S:” or back to back congurations caused by adjacent elbows.

• Route ducting to terminate at the hood liner.
