TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY
TO PERSON(S) 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 service disconnecting means to prevent
power from being switch 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 qualified
personnel 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 guidelines and safety standards such as
those published by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local
code authorities.
5. This product may have sharp edges. Be careful to avoid cuts and
abrasions during installation and cleaning.
6. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
7. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
8. Use only metal ductwork.
9. Do not use this unit with any other solid-state speed control
device.
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 (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filters.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for
the size of the surface element.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSON(S) 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.
WARNING
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels –
This could cause a violent steam explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you
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.
* 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 impeller, keep drywall spray, construction dust,
etc. off power unit.
4. Do not use over cooking equipment greater than 60,000 BTU/hr.
as the blower motor will shut down intermittently.
5. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated.
The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor
continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
6. The bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 24” and at
a maximum of 30” above cooktop for best capture of cooking
impurities.
7. Two installers are recommended because of the size of
this hood.
8. To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure
to duct air outside. Do not exhaust air into spaces within
walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
9. Be careful when installing the decorative flue and hood, they
may have sharp edges.
10. Please read specification label on product for further
information and requirements.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
(Ducted Hoods Only)
1. Decide where
the ductwork
will run
between the
hood and the
outside.
2. A straight, short
duct run will
allow the hood
to perform most
HOOD
efficiently.
3. Long duct
runs, elbows
and transitions
will reduce the
performance of
the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting
may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.
4. Install wall cap or roof cap. Connect round metal ductwork
to cap and work back towards the hood location. Use duct
tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.
