WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY
TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. 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.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel
and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from
being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting
means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning de­vice, such as a tag, to the service panel.

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction codes and standards.

4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flue (chimney) 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), and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE),
and the local code authorities.

5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.

6. Do not use this range hood with an additional speed control de­vice.

7. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

9. This unit must be grounded.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly
on low or medium settings.

2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking
flaming foods.

3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.

4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookw are appropriate for the siz e

WARNING

of the surface element.of food being prepared.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT
OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:*

1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal
tray , then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL T O PREVENT BURNS.
If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a vio­lent steam explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already

know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

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

2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced
impellers, keep drywall spra y , construction dust, etc. off po wer unit.

3. For best capture of cooking impurities, your range hood should be
mounted 18-24" above the cooking surface.

4. Please read specification label on product for further information
and requirements.

TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED

❏ Drill, electric or ratchet drive, with 5/16” and 1/2”’ wood bit (for

drilling starter holes) and 1-1/4” wood bit (to drill an access
hole in the cabinet or kitchen wall for the electric power line).

❏ One common and one phillips head screwdriver (to secure hood

mounting screws to the cabinet and hood sheet metal parts).

❏ Pliers (for opening knockouts).

❏ Electrical supplies for the type of wiring being installed.

❏ Pencil and ruler for marking locations.

❏ Saber saw or keyhole saw for cutting duct opening in wall or

soffit.

Ducted Installation Only:

❏ Caulking, metal snips, duct tape, duct (with elbows and transi-

tion, if necessary) and wall cap or roof caps, as required.

PLANNING THE DUCTWORK

Begin planning the ductwork by deciding where the duct will run
between the range hood and the outside. For best performance,
use the shortest possible duct run and a minimum number of el­bows. There are several choices shown below.

NOTE: Shown are typical installations. For maximum efficiency,
use 3¾” x 10” rectangular duct. In more complex ducting situ­ations, a ducted range hood can be converted to round duct by
means of a transition.

1. OUTSIDE WALL — If your range is located on an e xterior wall,
duct horizontally through the wall. This is the most economical
installation, and also offers top performance because the duct
run is so short that it offers practically no resistance. (Fig. A)

NOTE: If ducting directly off the bac k of the hood, special care
must be taken to make sure that the damper in the damper/
duct connector and the damper in the wall cap do not interfere
with each other when the hood is operating. This could result
in either inadequate air delivery or backdrafts. If this condition
exists, remove the hood damper flap. Sometimes, when using
a wall cap, it is easier to duct v ertically and then use an elbow .

2. THROUGH ATTIC — TO ROOF OR EAVE — This is usually
the most efficient and economical installation if the range is
located on an inside wall and there is attic space above. (Fig. B)

3. THROUGH SOFFIT — TO OUTSIDE WALL —

the best solution when the range is located on an inside wall in
a two story home. (Fig. C)

This is often

4. BETWEEN JOISTS — TO OUTSIDE WALL OR EAVE

5. WHEN “THERE’S NO WAY” — UNDER CEILING — TO OUT-

SIDE WALL — Suppose you can’t use (2) because you have

a two story home. You can’t use (3) because y ou hav e no soffit
or don’t want to take the old one out. The joists run the wrong
way for (4) or you don’t want to tear up your ceiling.

To duct to the outside, attach the duct under the ceiling and
cover it with a false wood beam or use other materials to cam­ouflage the ductwork (Fig. F)

UNPACKING

Unpack the hood and check the contents. Along with the canopy,
you should have received:

• Plastic bag containing:
— Four No. 10AB x 1½ long sheet metal screws (for

mounting canopy to wall or soffit or for use with plastic

hollow wall anchors
— Four 5/16” washers
— Four plastic hollow wall anchors

— Two 1/4” black sheet metal screws (for attaching

damper/duct connector to canopy hood

• One aluminum filter

• Damper duct connector

PREPARING THE RANGE HOOD

NOTE: To avoid motor bearing damage and/or noisy and unbal­anced impellers keep drywall spray , construction dust, etc., off pow er
unit.

1. Remove sheet metal screw on outlet box cover and lift cover
out. (Fig. 1)

2. Remove proper electrical knockout according to whether you
will bring power to the hood from the soffit or the wall. (Fig. 2A)

4. Remove either the vertical or horizontal duct knockout,
according to whether you will duct the hood vertically or
horizontally. (Fig. 3)

Fig. 3

5. Install the damper/duct connector (Fig. 4)

Fig. 2A

3. Insert a screwdriver into the knockout slot and bend the knock­out back and forth. You may have to use pliers to pull the loos­ened knockout free. (Fig. 2B)
