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
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. Refer to 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.
Temporary 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.
Attach ducting transition to hood exhaust with six
(3/16” x 1/2”) screws (included). Refer to Figure
2.

MAINTENANCE
For the optimal level of operation, clean the range hood surface and baffles regularly.
To Clean Hood Surface
CAUTION: NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, PADS, OR CLOTHS.
*** Regular care will help preserve its fine appearance.
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 Filters
CAUTION: DRAIN BAFFLE FILTERS BEFORE OIL WILL OVERFLOW.
1. Remove the baffle filters.
2. Using a sponge, wash with warm soapy water. Dry completely before returning into
place.
(Note: Baffle Filters are top rack dishwasher safe.)

Replacing Light Bulb
CAUTION: HALOGEN LIGHT UNIT MAY BE HOT! WAIT UNTIL UNIT IS COOL.
1. Make sure all controls are off, and range hood is unplugged.
2. Place the flat-headed screwdriver into the groove of the halogen light glass covering and
the housing.
3. Pop out the halogen light glass covering.
4. Gently pull out the defective light bulb and discard. Light bulbs should be 12V 20W
maximum.
5. Using a cloth, hold the new light bulb and push securely into light socket.
6. Return halogen light glass cover to the housing.
7. Turn range hood ON to test for operation.
