IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION -
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR PERSONAL
INJURY, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1) Installation and electrical wiring must be done by qualified professionals and in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
2) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage electrical wiring or other hidden
utilities.
3) Ducted fans must be vented to the outside.
a) Before servicing or cleaning unit, open the light panel and SWITCH POWER OFF AT SERVICE
PANEL.
b) Clean all grease laden surfaces frequently. To reduce the risk of fire and to disperse air
properly, make sure to vent air outside. DO NOT vent exhaust air into wall spaces, attics, crawl
spaces or garages.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE
TOP GREASE FIRE:
Keep all fan, baffle/spacer/filter/oil tunnel/oil container and grease-laden surfaces clean. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, baffle/spacer/filter/oil tunnel/oil container.
Always turn hood ON when cooking.
Use high settings on cooking range ONLY when necessary.
Do not leave cooking range unattended when cooking.
Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type and amount of food prepared.
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
Before servicing, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel (if possible) to prevent
power from switching on accidentally.
Clean ventilating fan frequently.

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.

Preparation before Installation
Hood 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 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.
- Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper
operation before installing.
- Important: Peel any protective film off the
hood.
- Use duct tape to seal the joints between
pipe sections.
- If necessary, prepare back wall frame with
cross framing lumber for secure installation.
Refer to Table 1 and measurements on
Page 12 to decide the level of the lumber.
(Figure 2)
- Loosen hood-mounting brackets at the back
of the hood, adjust brackets and tighten
screws as shown in Figure 3.
- If necessary, remove the rubber stand on
the back of the hood and discard.
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.
1. Using references in Table 1 and
measurements on Page 12, mark the
leveling locations point for hood-mounting
bracket on the wall.
2. Secure two mounting screws (not provided)
to the wall, leaving an 1/8” space from the
wall. (Figure 4)
3. Align the hood-mounting bracket to the
mounting screws on the wall and hang hood
into place.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE HOOD IS
SECURE BEFORE RELEASING.
5. Using Reference E from Table 1 and
measurements on Page 12, mark the
leveling point for duct cover-mounting
bracket.
6. Secure the duct cover-mounting bracket to
the wall with two screws (not provided).
(Figure 5 and Figure 8) Make sure all
screws are tightened. NOTE: Inner duct
cover will cover the duct cover-mounting
bracket.
7. Use 6” steel pipe (not provided) to connect
the plastic exhaust on the hood to the
ductwork above. Use duct tape to ensure
all joints are secure and air tight as shown
in Figure 6.
SAFETY WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THIS
RANGE HOOD MUST BE PROPERLY
GROUNDED. MAKE SURE THIS IS DONE
BY A SPECIALIZED 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
ACCIDENTALLY.
8. Connect three wires (black, white and
green) to house wires and cap with wire
connectors. Connect according to color:
black to black, white to white, and green to
green as shown in Figure 7.
9. Test the operation of the hood before
performing the next step. Make sure power
is supplied to the hood.
10. Slide inner duct cover up 2 inches before
sliding entire duct cover onto the hood.
(Figure 8)
11. Align the inner duct cover to the duct cover-
mounting bracket. Secure inner duct cover
with two (4x8 mm) screws (provided).

MAINTENANCE
SAFETY WARNING
NEVER PUT YOUR HAND INTO AREA HOUSING THE FAN WHILE THE FAN IS OPERATING.
Cleaning Hood Surface
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 Aluminum Filters
1. Remove all the aluminum filters.
2. Wash with warm soapy water. Dry completely before returning into place.
