 Make certain that the electric service supply voltage is 120V, 60Hz.
 Installation and electrical wiring must be done by qualified professionals and in

accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction, National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupation Safety and
Health Act (OSHA).

 Always disconnect the power source before working on or near the fan, motor or

electrical box.

 Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have

questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in
the warranty.

 Always check that all the electrical parts (lights, exhaust device), are off when the

appliance is not being used.

 To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
 This unit must be grounded.
 When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and

other hidden utilities.

 Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

2

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 vent air, be sure to duct air
outside – do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls ceilings, attics, crawl
spaces, or garages.

 Sufficient air is needed for proper ventilation to prevent back drafting. Follow the

heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American
Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE),
and local code authorities.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

 Keep fan, filters and grease laden surface clean.
 Always turn hood ON when cooking.
 Use high range setting on range only when necessary. Heat oil slowly on low to

medium setting.

 Don’t leave range unattended when cooking.
 Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type and amount of food

being prepared.

 Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on

fan or filter.

 Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

WARNING

WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:*

 SMOTHER FLAMES with a tight 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 – violent steam

explosion will result.

 Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to
operate it.

2. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

3. The fire department is being called.

4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

 For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive

materials and vapors.

 To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced fans, keep drywall

spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

 For best capture of cooking impurities, your range hood should be mounted so

that the bottom of the hood is 27”-30” above the cooking surface.

 Please read specification label on product for further information and

requirements.

The range hood must only be used for the exhaust of cooking fumes in home
kitchens. The manufacturer disclaims all liability for any other use of the
appliance.

INSTALLATION

SAFETY WARNING

HOOD MAY HAVE VERY SHARP EDGES; PLEASE WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES IF
IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE ANY PARTS FOR INSTALLING, CLEANING, OR
SERVICING.

Please read entire instruction before proceeding.

Preparation before Installation

NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD, PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING

THE VENT OPENING.

• Determine which venting method is best for your application (Fig.1).

• Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside.

• A straight, short venting run will allow the hood to perform more efficiently.

• Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long run as possible. This may

reduce the performance of the hood.

• A rigid metal ductwork is recommended. Do not use plastic or metal foil ductwork.

• The size of the ductwork should be uniform.

• Peel protective film off the hood (if any).

• For installing under the cabinets with recessed bottom, attach 4-inch wide wood

filler strips (not included) on each side.

• Measure and create access opening for electrical wires under the cabinet.

• Use duct tape to seal the joints between pipe sections

• Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper operation before installation.

Venting Methods

The ductwork system needed for installation is not included.
Determine whether the hood will discharge horizontally or vertically. The hood is shipped
to discharge vertically but is easily converted to horizontal discharge by swapping the
discharge adapter on top of the hood with the discharge cover on the back of the hood.
Use duct tape to attach the discharge adapter and discharge cover to the hood (Fig.2).
Knock out the exhaust hole on top of the range hood according to the size of the venting
pipe, and attached the corresponding discharge (Included) to the opening as shown on
Fig. 3.

Note: The use of a damper (not included) is solely up to the installer.

CAUTION:

• If required to move the cooking range to install the hood, turn off the power on an
electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE
MOVING A GAS RANGE.

• It is recommended that the vent system be installed before hood is installed.

• Do not cut joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut,

then a supporting frame must be constructed.

• Use two or more people to move and install range. Failure to do so can result in
back or other injury.

1. Recommended distance from cooking surface to the range hood bottom is 27”—
30”.

2. Determine and clearly mark a centerline on the bottom of the cabinet (Fig. 4 & 5).
Please refer to Measurement Diagram on Page 8.

3. Measure and create access opening for electrical access and ductwork.

4. If the cabinet bottom is recessed above a support frame, wood filler strips (not
included) need to be installed on the right and left sides of the cutout.
