SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION:

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

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 oil slowly on low or medium settings.

B. Always turn venthood “ON” when cooking at high heat or when flambeing foods (i.e. Crepes

Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).

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 unit.

Make-Up air may be necessary to prevent air flowing down chimney, or through unsealed door,
window, or fireplace opening.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, observe the
following guidelines.

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

onnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a

disc
tag, to the service panel.

C. Installation and electrical wiring must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with

all applicable codes & standards, including fire-rated construction.

D. To prevent backdrafting, sufficient air is needed to maintain proper combustion and safe

exhausting of gases thr

BEFORE INSTALLING 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. Two people are necessary for installation.

3. The hood is fitted with screws suitable for most surfaces. Consult a qualified installer. Check if they
perfectly fit with your ceiling.

4. Do not use flex ducting.

5. COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper installed to minimize
back flow of cold air 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 (outside wall) of the
thermal break.

The break should be as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the
house.

6. Hood installation height above cooktop/range is the user’s preference. Lower installation heights
will improve the efficiency of capturing cooking odors, grease, and smoke. These hoods have been
approved for installation heights 30” and above the cooktop/ranges. Taller people may find a 30”
installation height is inconvenient. DCS recommends an installation height between 30”and 36”.

7. For installation over DCS range and cooktop models RGS-364GL or CS-364GL, the IVS52 model
venthood is recommended.

8. 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.
