WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the
address or telephone number listed in the warranty.
2. 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.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and
standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting
of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent backdrafting. 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.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this
range hood with an additional speed control device.
7. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
10. This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
1. 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.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
cooking flaming foods.
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for
the size of the surface element.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE
EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:*
1. 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 out immediately,
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a
violent steam explosion will result.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you al-
ready know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
CAUTION
1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous
or explosive materials and vapors.
2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced
impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power
unit.
3. For best capture of cooking impurities, your range hood should
be mounted 18-24" above the cooking surface.
4. Please read specification label on product for further information
and requirements.

(This section for F30WV hoods only. F30WR and F24WR
hoods skip this section and go on to “Prepare the Hood”.)
Begin planning ductwork by deciding where the duct will run
between the range hood and the outside. For best performance,
use the shortest possible duct run and a minimum number of
elbows. There are several choices shown - FIGS. A - F below.
FIG. A. Ducting directly through the wall (for range hoods
mounted on an exterior wall). Shown are two ways to duct
through an outside wall. If a wall cap is used directly off the
back of the hood, special care must be taken to make sure that
the damper in the damper/duct connector on the hood and
damper in the wall cap do not interfere with each other when
the hood is operating. This could result in either inadequate air
delivery or backdrafts. If this condition does exist, remove the
hood damper flap. Sometimes when using a wall cap it is easier
to duct vertically and then use an elbow as shown in FIG. B.
In more complex ducting situations, a 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular ducting range hood (F30WV hood) can be converted
to a round duct by means of a transition.
FIG. C. Ducting straight up through the roof using
3-1/4" x 10" rectangular duct (for single story installations F30WV hood only).
FIG. D. Ducting between the ceiling joists (for multi-story installations) or through the soffit space above the cabinets (where
the soffit connects to an outside wall).

5. (F30WV hood ONLY) Install damper/duct connector over
opening made in STEP 4. Use #8B sheet metal screws provided. (FIG. 3)
PREPARE THE
INSTALLATION LOCATION
Omit STEP 1 if hood will be installed under cabinets with flush
bottom.
1. (For installation on recessed bottom cabinets only) Attach a
wood filler strip at each side of recessed area under cabinet. Use two 1" x 2" strips cut to length. If recess is deeper
than 1" use thicker strips. Attach strips with 1-1/4" wood
screws, 3" from each end of strip. See FIG. 4.
2. Measure and mark the following (FIGS. 5A & 5B):

3. Use 1-1/4" bit to drill opening for electric wiring.
4. Cut out duct opening in wall or cabinet with saber saw or
keyhole saw.
5. Center hood in installation opening and trace keyhole slots
onto wood filler strips on cabinet bottom.
6. Screw four #10 x 7/8 wood screws into exact center of narrow
end of traced keyhole slots. Allow 3/8" of screws to project, so
that hood can be fitted into place later.
