securely fasten a prominent warning device, such
as a tag, to the service panel.
C. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
D. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuelburning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the
heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines 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.
E. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
F. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
G. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
H. This unit must be grounded.

Venting
This hood must be vented ver tically through
upper cabinets or horizontally through an outside
wall. Ductwork is not included.
Improper duct sizing or restrictive roof caps
reduce air moving capacity and will not provide
enough ventilation for an indoor electric grill.
Indoor electric grills produce more smoke than
normal cooking and require at least 410 CFM to
provide adequate ventilation.
Follow the guidelines for proper duct sizing in the
ducting char ts.
NOTE: The venting system must
exhaust to the outside.
Cabinet Height
For most efficient operation, the top of the hood should
be approximately 66″ (167.6 cm) from the floor.
Tools Required:
• Drill; 11⁄4″ wood bit. • Pliers.
• Flat blade screwdriver. • Pencil, ruler and level.
• Saber saw or keyhole saw.
• Caulking, metal snips, duct tape, ducts (with
elbow and transition, if necessar y) and wall cap
or roof caps, as required.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installing the Range Hood
Determine which direction the vent will be
installed (top or rear).
1. Remove filters and motor/light cover (3 screws).
2. Remove the blower motor by removing the
“packing screw” and the clip on the retainer bar.
Discard the clip and screw.
Unplug the motor from the junction box.
Snap the blower retainer
bar toward the rear of
the hood to release the
blower. Remove the
blower.
3. Remove the junction
box cover.
Remove the selected wiring knockout and duct
knockout from the top or rear of the hood. Use a
flat blade screwdriver to cut the tabs.
IMPORTANT: OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING
CODES AND ORDINANCES.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE.
WARNING: Disconnect power before servicing or cleaning the unit.
Blower Control Care of Filter Motor
The speed control can be adjusted
from OFF to high speed. At the
highest setting, the blower exhausts
410 CFM. It takes about 15 seconds
for the blower to reach high speed..
For most effective removal of smoke
and odors, turn the fan on at the
beginning of cooking and allow it to
run until smoke and odors are
removed from the room.
For greatest efficiency the aluminum
filter should be cleaned periodically.
To remove the filter, pull the tab to
the side and then down. Soak it in hot
water and detergent. Rinse and dry
thoroughly before replacing.
Lights Care of Exterior Surfaces
This hood has two lights. Do not use
bulbs larger than 75 watts. There are
two light levels. To change light
bulbs, first remove the filters. It is not
necessary to remove the blower cover.
Use a mild detergent to clean the hood.
DO NOT use abrasive cleansers.

When the control is not set on high
and if the motor seems to be
operating at high speed or if
ventilation seems inadequate, check
the following:
1. Knockouts not removed from hood.
2. Blower installed for vertical
discharge instead of horizontal
discharge or vice versa.
3. Damper blade not opening.
4. Reduced airflow because the duct is
too small or the length is too long.
5. The duct is blocked.
6. Undersized or restrictive wall or
roof cap.
