HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS OR VAPORS.
A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS:
The high degree of craftsmanship in the construction and finish of your hood requires
careful handling to ensure proper installation.
• Do not remove your hood from its carton until you are ready to hang it.
• If the hood needs to be lifted, place your fingers under the lower reveal of the hood: Grasp
firmly, and lift. Additionally, arrange it on a blanket or padded area that will protect your
hood from scratches or indentations.
• Do not store your hood anywhere other than within the carton.
• Do not lift the hood by its utensil rail. Place your fingers under the lower reveal of the hood.
Grasp firmly and lift.
• Cotton gloves are preferable. They will protect the surface from fine scratches and eliminate
fingerprints.
• Remove all rings, watches, belt buckles, and jackets (with the snaps and zippers) to prevent
scratch marks.
• Do not remove the cotton flannel from your hood until the installation process is complete. It
will be necessary to remove only a small portion on the back-side of a wall mounted hood in
order to position in place.
• Located within the hood cavity (behind the baffle filter) are component parts and halogen
bulbs.

INSTALLATION PLANNING:
CHECK THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
If your installation has been roughed-in (including ductwork and wiring), be
certain there are no obstructions in the way of the mounting, pipes, other wiring, etc.
However, if the installation has not been roughed in, check what is needed to create the
framing and mounting hardware (all threads, nuts, etc.). Be sure the location will not
interfere with wiring, other utilities, or structural considerations.
CHOOSE THE INSTALLATION METHOD
There are several different methods available to mount the hood: the Unistrut, Angle
Iron, Frame In, Wall Mount, Island Mount and Rough-In Plate Mount, which can be used
for both indoor and outdoor applications. Please check the model options for the
suggested methods of your installation. Each hood type and site requirements are
presented as follows:

CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS
BRUSHED STAINLESS STEEL
The Brushed Stainless Steel Hood should be cleaned with pre-washed
flannel cloths and our recommended Fire Magic Stainless Steel cleaner.
Always wipe in a manner which follows the grain. DO NOT clean with
paper towels as they will scratch the surface. Different cleaning cloths
other than cotton flannel may scratch the surface of the hood.
INTERIOR OF HOOD
All hoods are fitted with a brushed stainless steel liner. For cleaning, we
recommend using pre-washed flannel cloths and Fire Magic Stainless
Steel cleaner. Always wipe in a manner, which follows the grain. DO
NOT clean with paper towels, as they will scratch the surface of the hood.
BAFFLE FILTERS AND GREASE COLLECTION TRAYS:
All Filters and Grease Cups may be cleaned by placing them in your
dishwasher. The grease cups should first be cleaned of excess grease with a
paper towel then placed beside the baffle filters in your dishwasher for a
thorough cleaning.
Fire Magic Stainless Steel Cleaner may be purchased directly from your
Fire Magic Dealer.
