IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
■ Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer.
■ Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power off at
the service panel 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
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
& standards, including fire-rated construction.
■ Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (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 systems must always be vented outdoors.CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use
to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust
air, be sure to duct air outside - do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, or
garages.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY
METAL DUCTWORK.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE:
■ Never leave the surface units unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
■ Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
■ Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
■ Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for
the size of the surface element.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO
PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
■ SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet, or
other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or electric
element. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the
flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
■ NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.
■ DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels -
a violent steam explosion will result.
■ Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
– You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to operate it.
– The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
– The fire department is being called.
– You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
■ Have a qualified technician install the range hood. It is the
installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances
specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial
rating plate is located behind the left filter on the rear wall of
the vent hood.
■ Range hood location should be away from strong draft areas,
such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents.
■ Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. Consult your
cooktop/range manufacturer installation instructions before
making any cutouts.
■ Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical
Requirements” section.
■ The hood is factory set for vented installations through the
roof or wall.
For recirculating installations, Recirculation Kit Part
Number 883140 is available from your dealer or an
authorized parts distributor.
■ All openings in ceiling and wall where range hood will be
installed must be sealed.
For Mobile Home Installations
The installation of this range hood must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, Title 24
CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, title 24, HUD, Part 280) or when such
standard is not applicable, the standard for Manufactured Home
Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and

codes.
■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed
area.
■ Do not use a 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
■ Use a metal vent only. A rigid metal vent is recommended. Do
not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■ The size of the vent should be uniform.
■ Use no more than three 90° elbows.
■ Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight vent
between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
■ Do not install 2 elbows together.
■ The length of vent system and number of elbows should be
kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
■ The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap
has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range
hood.
■ Use duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the
cap.
■ Determine which venting method is best for your application.

For the best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows.
To calculate the length of the system, add the equivalent feet
(meters) for each of the vent pieces used in the system.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
It is recommended that the vent system be installed before hood
is installed.
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or
stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for vent fittings.
Preparation
■ A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is
required.
■ Do not ground to a gas pipe.
■ Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
downdraft vent is properly grounded.
■ Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
■ The range hood must be connected with copper wire only.
■ The range hood should be connected directly to the fused
disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible armored or
nonmetallic sheathed copper cable.
■ Wire sizes (copper wire only) and connections must conform
with the rating of the appliance as specified on the model/
serial rating plate.
■ Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA
Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and
C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes and
ordinances.
■ A ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm) UL listed or CSA approved strain relief must
be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the
range hood and at the junction box).
