it will be cooled down. If the motor continues to
shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
4.For best capture of cooking impurities, the
bottom of the hood should be at a minimum of
20” (24” over a gas range) and at a maximum
of 30” above the cooking surface.
5.Two installers are recommended to install this
hood, because of its large size and weight.
6.To reduce the 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 garage.
