READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 service
panel 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 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 the local code authorities.

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

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

7. Do not use this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.

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:

A . 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.

B . Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes

Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).

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

filter.

D. 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:*

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. To reduce 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.

2. Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.

3. Avoid using food products that produce flames under the Range Hood.

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

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

6. 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.

7. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be a minimum of
24" and a maximum of 30" above the cooking surface.

8. Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this hood.

9. This product is equipped with a thermostat which may start blower automatically. To
reduce the risk of injury and to prevent power from being switched on accidentally,
switch power off at service panel and lock or tag service panel.

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

11. To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this range hood only with Broan
Exterior blower models 331H, 332H, 335 or 336, or Broan In-Line Blower models HLB3,
HLB6, HLB9 or HLB11. Other Blowers cannot be substituted (Blowers sold separately).

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

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

1. Choose the location where the Exterior or In-Line Blower will be mounted. See
illustrations below for mounting location suggestions and restrictions.

2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most 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 long duct runs.

4. After the Exterior or In-Line Blower has been installed, connect round metal
ductwork and work back towards the hood location. Use duct tape to seal joints
between ductwork sections.

5. An 8” round to 10” round transition (Model 414) is required. For best air
performance, install the transition as close to the range hood as possible.
