IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, injury to persons,
or damage when using the range hood, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
This appliance is intended for
•
normal family household use
only.
Before servicing or cleaning
•
the unit, switch power o
at service panel and lock
the service disconnecting
means to prevent power
from being switched on
accidentally. When the
service disconnecting means
cannot be locked, securely
fasten a prominent warning
device, such as a tag, to the
service panel.
Installation work and
•
electrical wiring must be
done by qualied person(s)
in accordance with all
applicable codes and
standards, including re-rated
construction.
Do not operate any fan with
•
a damaged cord or plug.
Discard fan or return to an
authorized service facility for
examination and/or repair.
Sucient air is needed
•
for proper combustion
and exhausting of gases
through the ue (chimney)
of fuel burning equipment
to prevent backdrafting.
Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline
and safety standards such
as those published by the
National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), the
American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and
Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code
authorities.
When cutting or drilling into
•
wall or ceiling; do not damage
electrical wiring and other
utilities.
Ducted fans must always be
•
vented outdoors.
For general ventilating use
•
only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive
materials and vapors.
To reduce risk of re and to
•
properly exhaust air, be sure
to duct air outside - do not
vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls or ceilings, attics
or into crawl spaces, or
garages.
To reduce the risk of re, use
•
only metal ductwork.
To reduce the risk of re or
•
electrical shock, do not use
this fan with any solid-state
speed control device.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using
ventilation systems greater than specied CFM of air movement. The specied CFM
varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specic requirements in your area.
General Venting
The vent hood is designed to vent through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a
90° elbow is needed.
Vent system must terminate to the outdoors except for non-vented
•
(recirculating) installations.
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
•
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes outside, the hood can be used for a
•
non-vented (recirculating) installation by attaching a deector and a charcoal
lter. A Recirculatiing Kit is available for purchase.
Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or metal foil vent
•
is not recommended.
The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum
•
to provide ecient performance.
NOTE: A 90° elbow must be installed immediately above the hood.

an outlet that cannot be turned o by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn vent hood o, and then
disconnect the vent hood from the electrical source. When you are nished,
reconnect the vent hood to the electrical source.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before installing unit.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electric shock.
Disconnect power before installing range hood.
STEP 1 - UNPACK RANGE HOOD

WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
¼"
Use two or more people to move and install range hood.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
2. Using two or more people, lift the range hood assembly onto the covered
surface.
STEP 2 - INSTALL MOUNTING SCREWS
1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the canopy hood will be
installed.
2. Select a mounting height between a minimum of 24" (61.0 cm) for an electric
cooking surface, a minimum of 30" (76 cm) for a gas cooking surface, and a
suggested maximum of 36" (91.4 cm) above the range to the bottom of the
hood. Mark a reference line on the wall.
3. Mark centers of the fastener locations on the wall.
IMPORTANT: All screws must be installed into wood. If there is no wood to screw
into, additional wall framing supports may be required.
4. Drill ³⁄₁₆" (4.8 mm) pilot holes at all locations where screws are being installed into
wood.
5. Install the two - 5 x 45 mm mounting screws. Leave a ¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) gap between
the wall and the back of the screw head to slide range hood into place.
