CAUTION!
Due to the weight and size of these vent hoods

and to reduce the risk of personal i_jury or
damage to the product, TWO PEOPLE ARE
REQ,UIRED FOR PROPER INSTAI,IATION.

_i_ARNING!

To reduce the risk of fire or elecuic shock,
do not use tiffs range hood with any external

solid-state speed conuol device. Any such
alteration flom original factory wiring could
result in damage to the unit and/or create an
elecuical safety hazard.
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly

exhaust air, be sure to duct air outdoors. Do
not vent exhaust air into spaces wittfin walls or

ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.

_i_SkRNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,

USE ONIX METAl, DUCTWORK
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, EI,ECTRIC
SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS,

OBSERVE THE FOI,I,OWING:

A. Use tiffs unit only in the manner intended

by the manufacturer. If you have any
questions, contact the manufacturer.
B. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch
power off at service panel and lock service
panel to prevent power flom being switched
on accidentally. If the service panel cannot be
locked, fasten a tag or prominent warning
label to the panel.
For general ventilating use only. Do not use
to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials
and vapors.
Installation work and elecuical wiring must be
done by qualified person (s) in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards including

fire-rated construction.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion

and exhausting of gases through the flue

(clfimney) of tirol burning equipment to
prevent back drafting. 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,
Refligevadon and Air Conditioning Engineers

(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.

• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the

outdoors.

• Use the shortest and straightest duct route

possible. For satisfactory performance, duct run
should not exceed 100 feet equivalent length for
any duct configurations.

• Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute the

maximum permissable length for duct runs to the

Warning, for
Personal Safety:

Remove house time or open
circuit breaker before beginning

installation.

Do not use an extension cord or adapter

plug with this appliance. Follow National

Elecuical Code or prevailing local codes
and ordinances.

Electrical supply
This vent hood must be supplied with 120V,

60Hz., and connected to an individual, properly
grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20
ampere circuit breaker or time delay fllse.

• Wiring must be 2 wire with ground.

• If the electrical supply does not meet the

above requirements, call a licensed elecuician
before proceeding.

• Route wiring as close to the installation

location as possible, in the ceiling or soffit.

• Gonnect the wiring to the house wiring in
accordance with local codes.

Grounding Instruction
The giounding conductor must be connected to
a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the

hood.

Warning: The improper

connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electric shock. Check with

a qualified electrician or service
representative if you are in doubt whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
