vi
Model:FSH-3.5 & FSH-4Safety
CAUTION
!
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 14” (355.6mm) between the hood outlet and the ceiling or any
obstruction above the hood. 18” (457.2mm) is recommended for best performance.
• Exercise care when lifting or moving the unit. See Section 1-4.4 for Hood weights.
• Exercise care when removing the wooden crate from around the unit.
CAUTION
!
• DO NOT operate the unit unless you fully understand the components and their intended function.
• Be careful not to bend the fins or break the ionizer wires on the Electrostatic Air Cleaner (EAC). Doing
so will prevent the EAC from working properly and cause a shutdown of power to the appliance being
used with the hood.
•
Failure to comply with these CAUTION notices may result in minor or moderate injury, equipment/property damage, and void the warranty.
CAUTION
• The electronic components of the Control Panel are impact-sensitive. Exercise care around the Control
Panel to maintain proper operation.
• Do not attempt to dry the EAC after cleaning by installing it and running the hood to force air dry or by
running an appliance below to heat dry. This could potentially damage the EAC system leading to failure and voiding the warranty. The filter must air dry at ambient room temperature, preferably overnight.
• During cleaning of Hood.
•• DO NOT steam clean.
•• DO NOT use products containing chlorine.
•• DO NOT use abrasive products, steel wool or scouring pads.
• Failure to comply with these CAUTION notices may result in equipment/property damage and void the

vii
Model:FSH-3.5 & FSH-4Safety
NOTE:
• If upon receipt, the palletized unit shows any signs of damaged, immediately inspect the entire
Ventless Hood and the included accessories, and promptly notify the freight company of any damages.
• To aid the electrician, an electrical wiring diagram is attached inside the back cover of this manual.
Refer to the wiring diagram during installation or servicing. A wiring diagram is also attached to the
inside of the filter access door.
• Comply with all appropriate state and/or local heath regulations regarding the cleaning and sanitation of
equipment.
• For cleaning areas with excessive particulate build up, a mild bio-degradable non-toxic degreaser (such
as Clear Magic or Simple Green) may be used.
• Always ensure the unit is electrically grounded and installed in accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984.
NOTE:
• The decibel level of the hood when operating is approximately 73 dB.
NOTE:
• A HVAC specialist may be required for installations to confirm proper air
exchange and the heat load capabilities of the on-site AC system.
Exhaust ventilation is recommended for areas in which recirculating hoods are used. We recommend
•
50 CFM per lineal ft. of hood.
•This amount could vary based on local codes and the site specific installation requirements.
