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 of 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. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, 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. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.

10. 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 cookware appropriate for the size
of the surface element.

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 TO 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 - 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 indoor use only.

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

3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced
impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power
unit.

4. For best capture of cooking impurities, your range hood should
be mounted so that the top of the hood is 24-30” above the
cooking surface.

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

Installer: Leave this manual with
the homeowner.

Homeowner: Operating and
Cleaning information on page 6.

1 Determine whether hood will discharge vertically (3¼” x 10”),

or horizontally (3¼” x 10” only). For vertical or horizontal dis­charge, run ductwork between the hood location and a roof
cap or wall cap. For best results, use a minimum number of
transitons and elbows.

2 Use diagrams, below, for proper placement of ductwork and

electrical cutout in cabinet or wall. For a non-ducted installa­tion, DO NOT cut a duct access hole.
