Manual for warranty information.

_i_SkRNING:

To reduce the risk of fire or elecuical
shock, do not use this 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 within 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,ECTRICAI, SHOCK OR INJURY TO

A. Use this unit only in the manner intended

by the manufactureL If you have any
questions, contact the manufacturer.

B. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch
power off at the 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
or vapors.

Structural flaming, 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

(chimney) 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, Refligerafion and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code

authorities.
I,ocal codes vary. Installation elecuical

connections and grounding must comply

with applicable codes. In the absence of

local codes, the vent should be installed in
accordance with National Electrical (;ode

Advance
Planning

(continued)

• Arrange cross flatning in tile ceiling to suit
tile existing structure. See examples.

- Secure each 2 x 4 block with at least four (4),
#10 wood screws, 3" long (minimum size
screws, not supplied). Use 8 wood screws

total for tile two supports.

• The cross framing must be accurately
aligned to assure correct positioning of

the hood.

• The cross framing must be level in all
directions. Check with a spirit level and

adjust if necessary.

IMPORTAN#The ceiling structure must becapable of supporting

the weight ofthe hood(approximately 100 pounds)and any

inadvertent usercontact loads. It is recommendedthat the hood
support frame be supported by a minimum of 2x4 crossframing.

Ductwork

• Use tile shortest and suaightest duct route
possible. For satisfactory performance, duct
run should not exceed 100 feet equivalent
length for any duct configuration.

• Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute tile
maxilnum permissible length for duct rtms

to tile outdoors.

• This vent hood must use 6" round duct. Tile
6" round duct can transition to 3-1/4" x 10"

or 3-1/4" x 12".

• Install tile house ductwork to run
horizontally between ceiling joists

or suaight tap through tile roof.

Finish the Ceiling
Finish tile ceiling surface. Be sure to mark
locadon of the ceiling joists and cross flaming.
Check to be sure that ceiling is level, use shims

To Find Required Duct Length:

• Measure flom house duct flange to bottom
of support flame. (Dimension A)

- Add at least 1" to Dim. A for duct overlap

at the top.

- Submmt 1-3/4" for hood insertion into the

• (;tat the 6" duct to required length.

Note: The bottom of the duct must be external
