INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and
standards - including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
• 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 guidelines 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 local code authorities.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, this range
hood should not be used with an additional solid-state
speed control device.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of shock, disconnect power before
servicing.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air,
be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air
into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics,
crawl spaces or garages.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you
have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel
and lock service panel to prevent power from being switched on
accidentally.
CAUTION
:
For general ventilating only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapours.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE:
• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium setting.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing
food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size
of the surface element.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO
PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*
:
• 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.
• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.
• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent
steam explosion will result.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
2. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3. The fire department is being called.
4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GP AND SM6500 SERIES RANGE HOODS
PLANNING
• Mounting height MUST BE at a minimum of 22” (558.8 mm) and at a
maximum of 30” (762 mm) above the cooking surface from the bottom
edge of the range hood.
• The hood shall be mounted to the bottom of a standard wall cabinet.
If the hood must be mounted directly to a wall, secure the hood
to wall studs.
• All wiring must be properly grounded. Connection should be made to
a 110-120 VAC lighting circuit (15A) in the circuit breaker or fuse box.
• This range hood is ‘Convertible’, it may be installed as a ducted or
as a non-ducted unit.
IF THE RANGE HOOD IS TO BE DUCTED:
• Ductwork can be installed vertically or horizontally.
• Duct runs should be as short as possible.
• Avoid the use of elbows.
• Use duct tape at all joints.
• Do not use duct smaller than the discharge on the hood.
NON DUCTED:
• Disregard instructions for knockout.
• Discard damper, it will not be used.
PREPARATION
1. Use the dimensional drawing to lay out the range hood’s mounting
holes, wiring access and ductwork.
2. Make cut-outs for wiring and ductwork.
3. If the hood is to be ducted, install the ductwork so that it is flush to
the range hood’s mounting surface.
• Refer to Figure 1 if the range hood is to be installed with a
horizontal discharge.
• Refer to Figure 2 if the range hood is to be installed with a
vertical discharge.
4. Remove the necessary duct opening and wiring knockout from the
range hood.
NOTE: If the range hood is to be installed as a ducted unit
install baffle (Refer to Figure 5) by sliding into place
behind grille. Use locator bumps to orient in grille.
NOTE: If the range hood is to be installed as a ductless unit,
do not remove any knockouts.
5. Run two-conductor wires (with ground) from a power source to the
hood location. Bring approximately 12” (304.8 mm) or wiring through
wiring hole in cabinet.
6. Drill four 3/32” (2.4 mm) diameter pilot holes at points where
mounting holes are marked in the filler strips or cabinet bottom.
7. Insert four (4) mounting screw (not supplied), leaving approximately
1/4” (6.4 mm) of thread exposed. Use No. 8 or No. 10 round head screws.
INSTALLATION
1. Refer to Figure 6 for a vertical discharge installation. Secure 3
1/4” (82.6 mm) x 10” (254 mm) transition (if used) to top of hood.
Refer to Figure 7 for a horizontal discharge installation. If
using the supplied 3 1/4” (82.6 mm) x 10” (254 mm) duct
transition, remove the damper from the transition to prevent
possible venting interference. Position transition into wall cutout
(the transition does not fasten the hood).
Refer to Figure 4 for 7” (177.8 mm) round discharge
installation. Secure 7” (177.8 mm) transition to top if hood using
screws provided.
2. Feed the wiring through the access hole and into the electrical box.
3. Align hood’s keyhole mounting slots over the four (4) partially
installed screws.
4. Making sure the duct position over the hood’s duct transition push
the hood against the rear wall. Secure hood by tightening screws.
5. Using a long blade screwdriver, reach into the discharge opening
and make sure the damper operates freely.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
All wiring connections must comply with local code and the unit must
be properly grounded.
1. Make sure box connector is secure.
2. Refer to Figure 8. Make wiring connections.
3. Replace electrical box cover and secure with screw.
COMPLETING ASSEMBLY
1. Install a 75 W (maximum) light bulb in the receptacle.
2. Install filter and light lens assembly.
3. For ductless use with charcoal filter (FKM-65): Install 2 filter
clips by sliding into the receivers on the sides of the hood fan housing.
See Figure 9.
