What to Do In The Event Of a Range Top Grease Fire
• SMOTHER FLAMES with a tight fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, and then turn off the burner.
KEEP FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM FLAMES. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE THE AREA AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT or 911.
• NEVER PICK UP A BURNING PAN – You May Get Burned.
• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam blast will result.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
a) You have a Class A, B, C extinguisher and know how to operate it.
b) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
c) The fire department has been called.
d) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
What to Do If You Smell Gas
-
Extinguish any open flame.
-
Do not try to turn on the lights or any type of appliance.
-
Open all doors and windows to disperse the gas. If you still smell gas, call the Gas Company and
Fire Department right away.
CAUTION
1) For general ventilation use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and
vapors.
2) To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion
and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) to prevent back drafting.
3) 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 code authorities.
4) Activating any switch on may cause ignition or an explosion.
5) Due to the size and weight of this hood, two people installation is recommended.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD – Can result in serious injury or death.
Disconnect appliance from electric power before servicing. If equipped,
the fluorescent light bulb contains small amounts of mercury, which must
be recycled or disposed of according to Local, State, and Federal Codes.

SAFETY WARNING
HOOD MAY HAVE VERY SHARP EDGES; PLEASE WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES IF
REMOVING ANY PARTS FOR INSTALLING, CLEANING OR SERVICING.
NOTE: BE CAREFUL WHEN USING ELECTRICAL SCREWDRIVER, DAMAGE TO THE HOOD
MAY OCCUR.

Preparation before Installation
NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD,
PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING
THE VENT OPENING.
Decide the location of the venting pipe
from the hood to the outside. (Figure 1)
A straight, short vent 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.
Temporarily wire the hood to test for
proper operation before installing.
Important: Peel protective film off
the hood and duct covers, if any.
Use duct tape to seal the joints between
pipe sections.
Advance Planning
1. Mark centerlines of cook top or range on
ceiling. Use centerlines marked on ceiling
to position the mounting template as shown
in Figure 2 and 3.
2. Remove and save template. Cut and
remove ceiling drywall. Install 2” x 4” cross
framing lumbers (not provided) between
ceiling joists.
3. The framing should be spaced 10-1/8” at
the front centerline and 8-3/4” on the sides
to accept the mounting screw in mounting
bracket. Refer to MEASUREMENTS &
DIAGRAMS on pages 12.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Figure 3
4. Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark
the location of the ceiling joists and cross
framing lumber.
5. Align the mounting template to the ceiling
marks and tape in place. Cut the 6-1/4”
duct open and an approximately 1” wire
access hole. Drill holes for the 6 mounting
screws as indicated on the template.
6. Align the mounting bracket to the pre-drilled
holes on the ceiling and securely fasten to
the joists and cross framing lumber with 6
screws (not provided). Make sure screws
are driven into the center of joists and cross
framing lumber for maximum support.

Wiring to Power Supply
SAFETY WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THIS
RANGE HOOD MUST BE PROPERLY
GROUNDED. MAKE SURE THIS IS DONE
BY QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE
NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL
CODES. BEFORE CONNECTING WIRES,
SWITCH POWER OFF AT SERVICE PANEL
AND LOCK SERVICE PANEL TO PREVENT
POWER FROM BEING SWITCHED ON

7. Route house wiring into the ceiling as close
to the installation location as possible.
Allow additional length to drop down from
the ceiling to the electrical box.
8. Connect the electrical wires according to
color (black to black, white to white, and
green to green) and cap with wire
connectors. Green wire must be grounded
to reduce risk of electrical shock.

Ductwork Installation
9. Use 6” round aluminum or steel pipe (not
provided) to connect the 6” round damper
on the hood to the ductwork above. NOTE:
Place 6” round duct pipe over the damper.

MAINTENANCE
SAFETY WARNING
NEVER PUT YOUR HAND INTO AREA HOUSING THE FAN WHILE THE FAN IS
OPERATING.
CAUTION
:
NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, PADS, OR CLOTHS. DO NOT
USE PAPER TOWEL ON STAINLESS STEEL.
For optimal operation, clean range hood and all baffle/spacer/filter/oil tunnel/oil container regularly.
*** Regular care will help preserve the appearance of the hood.
1. Use only mild soap or detergent solutions. Dry surfaces using soft cloth.
2. If hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface
of the hood. Avoid getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions of
the stainless steel cleaner. Caution: Do not leave on too long as this may cause damage to hood finish. Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rub off any stubborn spots.
Use dry soft towel to dry the hood.
3. DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.
4. DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface
and cause rusting.
5. DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in
contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals,
which may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean lint free cloth.
To Clean Baffle, Spacer, Filter, Oil Tunnel and Oil Container
CAUTION
: DRAIN OIL FROM BAFFLES, SPACER(S), FILTERS, OIL TUNNEL(S) AND OIL
CONTAINERS BEFORE OIL AND RESIDUE CAN OVERFLOW.
Cleaning Baffle Filters
1. Remove all baffles, spacer(s), and oil tunnel(s). Follow directions on page 7 in reverse.
