- Handling Precautions -

• Remove all rings, watches, belt buckles, jewelry and any clothing with metal buttons or snaps to prevent damage to hood.

• DO NOT REMOVE HOOD FROM ITS ORIGINAL CARTON UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO INSTALL IT.

• When you are ready to begin the installation process, remove the hood from its carton and place it on a clean soft blanket.

• Inspect the hood carefully for any damage or imperfections before you begin to install the hood. If any damage or imperfections exist, re-carton the hood and call your dealer IMMEDIATELY, do not install a damaged hood.

• It is highly recommended that rubber gloves be used to prevent scratches on the hood and to provide you with a firm grip.

• When removing the hood from the carton locate the filters. The filters are not pre-

installed in the hood. The filters are in a box marked filters, inside the hood carton.

• PL model hoods can be ducted to the top or the rear. Check product guide for additional transitions, wall caps and roof caps.

• Duct size for 600CFM blowers is 6" round and an optional transition model TRC8/6 should be used to increase the duct size to 8" round for optimal performance.
