IMPORTANT PRE-INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING!

1. Read all instructions.

2. THIS VENT HOOD IS FOR OUTDOOR, WALL MOUNT INSTALLATION ONLY. Outdoor is defined
as an area that has unconfined air, open to the elements at all times. A wall is defined as a
side of a building connecting floor and roof.

3. Installation, service, and repair must be done by a qualified professional service technician.

4. This vent hood is for use with a gas grill only. It is not recommended for use with a charcoal grill

(due to higher heat output that may cause damage to the vent hood).

5. The vent hood and the gas grill are not intended to be installed in or on boats or recreational vehicles.

6. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord or plugs in water or other liquid.

7. Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or

taking off parts.

8. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord, plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or
has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.

9. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces.

10. Do not use an outdoor appliance for purposes other than intended.

11. When connecting, first connect plug to the outdoor appliance, then plug appliance into the outlet.

12. 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 grounded wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.

13. Use only a properly wired and inspected 120VAC GFCI (RCD)(15 AMP minimum) Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) GROUNDED 3-wire receptacle (not included) with this outdoor appliance.

14. Never remove the grounding plug or use with an adapter of 2 prongs.

15. Do not use an extension cord. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an

outlet near the appliance.

16. When cutting or drilling into a wall or roof, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

17. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

18. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

19. 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 to HI Setting 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 cooking surface.

REMOVE BAFFLE AND MOUNTING BRACKET

Remove the baffle (inside of vent hood) and the mounting
bracket (rear of vent hood). Be sure to retain for later

installation. See Fig. 12-1 and 12-2.
Note: If a Fire Magic spacer is used with the vent hood, the

mounting bracket will not be needed.

INSTALL SPACER

Fire Magic offers a spacer specifically designed for your
vent hood. See Table 2 and contact your dealer for ordering
information. Alternatively, a custom spacer can be constructed
for your setup (non-combustible construction only).

Follow the appropriate section for your spacer type.

Fire Magic Spacer:

The Fire Magic spacer comes ready to be mounted. It should
be installed 30-33" above the grill, centered, and level.
See Fig. 12-3.

Important: Be sure to allow for the proper clearance above

the spacer for the soffit / duct cover that is to be
installed at a later time.

1. Locate and mark the REAR WALL studs.

2. Determine the install location of the spacer (30-33" above

the countertop) and pencil in a horizontal line on the rear
wall. Locate the "left-to-right" center, and pencil a vertical
line. See Fig. 12-4, A-B.

3. If venting from the rear of the vent hood, a cutout through
the rear wall is required for venting. Mark a point on

the vertical line 12" up from the horizontal line and drill
an 111/2" hole through the rear wall (see Fig. 12-4, C).

FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL SETUP.

Custom Spacer:

Important: The custom spacer must be constructed of

non-combustible material only.

Construct the spacer frame according to your individual
install preference, while following the guidelines found in the
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS section. The front of the
spacer (that is exposed to the rear of the vent hood), must
include a solid wall to allow for the vent hood to be properly
secured into it. When venting through the rear wall, the spacer
must also have cutouts to allow for the transition to pass through.

When designing the spacer, account for the thickness of your
finishing substrate so that overall dimensions are flush with
the vent hood.

The spacer should be installed 30-33" above the grill,
centered, and level. See Fig. 13-2.

INSTALL VENT PIPING

A cutout will need to be made in the roof (or rear wall) to
route the piping through, and must be sealed with silicone
to prevent leaks.

1. Install 10" round galvanized rigid (single wall) vent

piping from the transition on, as required. All joints
must be sealed using duct tape.

Important: Vent piping should be installed as straight

as possible to prevent back-pressure on the
fans.

Important: If an offset is required for your installation, a

maximum of two 45˚ elbows may be used. A
90˚ elbow (max of one) for this installation is
permitted but not recommended as it reduces
the performance of the vent hood. See Fig.

SERVICING AND CLEANING

Your vent hood requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Refer to these instructions for details. Performing these

procedures will ensure proper operation, appearance, and safety.

WARNINGS

• Prior to servicing or cleaning make sure the vent hood and grill below are completely cool and turned to the OFF
position, and the power supply is disconnected.

• Wear appropriate gloves and safety glasses during any servicing or cleaning.

• DO NOT spray any cleaner or liquids on the unit when hot.

• The unit MUST be cleaned regularly to prevent grease build-up. A clean and well maintained unit prevents the risk
of grease build-up.

• Verify proper operation after servicing or deep cleaning.

• See IMPORTANT PRE-INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INFORMATION section for additional related information.

CLEANING YOUR VENT HOOD

Before Each Use

1. Inspect and clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the unit: With a cool unit, clean any dust or grease as

needed with a damp clean cloth.

Twice A Year (or as needed) - Deep Clean

1. Interior components: In addition to cleaning the interior and exterior surfaces of the unit, a deep clean of the grease

filters, baffle, and fans MUST be performed twice year (or as needed depending on use). Follow the steps below.
a. Grease filters and baffle: With a cool unit, remove the grease filters and baffle. Clean the components in a soapy

water solution and set aside. For tough deposits/stains on the baffle, a copper pad can be used. Always wipe with
the grain.

b. Fans: Clean any dust or grease as needed with a damp clean cloth.
c. Re-install all components removed during this process.

Important: The grease filters and fans MUST be kept clean to ensure proper operation. If a filter becomes damaged

or not cleanable, it must be replaced.

2. Exterior of hood: With a cool unit, use a grill cleaner (or a soapy water solution)

and a clean cloth to remove grease and dirt from the outside of the unit. For tough
deposits/stains, a copper pad can be used. Always wipe with the grain. Rinse
with water and dry completely. Then follow up with a stainless steel cleaner and
a clean cloth.

If this routine cleaning is not performed, the stainless steel may become dull and
develop surface rust (due to use and atmospheric conditions). If left uncleaned,
significant damage and pitting may occur.

Important: DO NOT use steel wool, any other metal tools, or any other cleaners/chemicals to clean the exterior other

than recommended above. Such items promote rust.

Wipe with grain

Fig. 23-1 Wipe with grain

For Environments High In Salt, Chloride, Or Other Corrosive Chemicals

When this vent hood is installed in a corrosive environment such as near the ocean (salt air), poolside (chlorine
and/or pool chemicals) or any other location with exposure to high salt/chloride content or corrosive chemicals/
solutions, it will be more susceptible to corrosion and MUST be maintained/cleaned more frequently.

• DO NOT store any corrosive chemicals (chlorine, hydrochloric acid, fertilizer, etc.) near your stainless steel vent hood.

• DO NOT allow any corrosive materials (masonry dust, debris, etc.) to settle on your stainless steel vent hood.

• These environments, chemicals, and materials may cause the 304 stainless steel to develop surface rust and
consequently pitting. Under these conditions the vent hood exterior MUST be cleaned at least monthly. Inspect your
vent hood often and clean accordingly.
