ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b. Always turn hood ON 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 surface element.

a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
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.
c) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

Considerations before installing HoodConsiderations before installing Hood
1. For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows
as possible.
CAUTION:CAUTION:
CAUTION: Vent unit to outside of building, only.
CAUTION:CAUTION:
2. If allowed in your area, use metallic flex ducting only to connect rigid duct
directly to transitions.
3. COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper
installed to minimize backward cold air flow 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 of the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the ducting enters the
heated portion of the house.
4. Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference P (see
Figure 2). The lower the hood above the cooktop, the more efficient the
capturing of cooking odors, grease and smoke. Be sure that your hood
model fits your installation.
