RANGEHOODSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately'
follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARNmNG: TO REDUCE THE RiSK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC

SHOCK, OR iNJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:

m Use this unit only in the manner intended by the

manufacturer, if you have questions, contact the
manufacturer.

m Before servicing or cIeaning the unit, switch the power off at

the service panel disconnecting means to prevent power
from being switched on accidentaiIy. When the service

disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service

panel.

m installation work and electrical wiring must be done by

qualified person(s) in accordance with alI applicable codes
& standards, including fire-rated construction.

m Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and

exhausting of gases through the flue (cMmney) 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.

m When cutting or drilling into walI or ceiling; do not damage

electrical wiring and other utilities.

m Ducted systems must always be vented outdoors.

CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use
to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

CAUTmON: 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:
m Never Ieave the surface units unattended at high settings.

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spiIIovers that may

ignite. Heat oils siowiy on low or medium settings.

m Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when

flameing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,

Peppercorn Beef Flamb@.

m Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease shouId not be

allowed to accumulate on fan or fiIter.

m 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: _

m SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting Iid, 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.
m NEVER PiCK UP A FLAMING PAN _you may be burned.
m DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels -

a vioIent steam explosion will result.
m 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.

aBased on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA.
® WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock,

do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control
device.

INSTALLATIONREQUIREMENTS

Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
Read and follow the safety instructions provided with any tools

listed here.
Tools needed:

level
drill with 11/4"and %2" drill bits

pencil
wire stripper or utility knife

measuring tape or ruler
pliers
caulking gun and weatherproof caulking compound

duct tape
jig saw or keyhole saw
flat blade screwdriver

metal snips

Phillips screwdriver

Parts needed:

3/4"(19.0 mm) UL- or CSA-listed strain relief

power supply cable

metal vent system

IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Hood location should be away from strong draft areas, such as

windows, doors and strong heating vents.
Installation clearance dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions provide minimum clearance.

NOTE: Hood liner must be surrounded by a custom built

enclosure.

Cooktop to hood clearance wilI depend on the material the
builder uses to enclose the liner.

Grounded electrical outlet is required. See "Electrical
requirements" section.

It is recommended that the hood be fastened to solid wood.
The hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
All openings in ceiling and wall where the hood will be installed

must be sealed.

[] 36" (91.4 cm) model requires a 6" (15.2 cm) round vent

system. 48" (121.9 cm) model requires two 6" round vent
systems or a 10" (25.4 cm) round system using vent transition

kit number 4396915.
[] Vent system must terminate to the outside.
[] Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed

area.
[] Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
[] Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Do

not use plastic or metal foii vent.
For the most efficient and quiet operation:

[] Use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.
[] 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 two elbows together.
[] Use duct tape to seal all ioints in the vent system.

[] Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around

the cap.
Cold weather instammations

An additional backdraft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to

minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent
system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal

break.

The break should be as close as possible to where the vent

system enters the heated portion of the house.
Make up air

Local building codes may require the use of make-up air systems
when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air

movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in

your area.

Venting Methods

This canopy hood is factor},, set for venting through the roof
or wail.

The 36" (91.4 cm) model requires a 6" (15.2 cm) round vent
system for installation (not included). The 48" (121.9 cm) model

requires two 6" (15.2 cm) round vent systems or a 10" (25.4 cm)
round vent system for installation. The hood exhaust opening is

6" (15.2 cm) round.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates

back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduces
performance.

Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent
through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.

For recirculating installations, make sure the hood exhausts back
into kitchen, not into spaces within wall, ceilings, attics, crawl

spaces or garages.

CaJcutating Vent System Length

To calculate the length of the system you need, add the
equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.

Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 feet (10.7 meters) for 6"
(15.2 cm) vent, 60 feet (18.3 m) for 10" (25.4 cm) vent.

[] A 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is

required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is also
recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit

serving only this hood be provided.

[] Do not ground to a gas pipe.
[] Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure range

hood 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.

[] A UL- or CSA-Iisted strain relief must be provided at each end

of the power supply cable. Wire sizes (copper wire only) and
connections must conform with the rating of the appliance as

specified on the model/serial rating plate.
