Important Safety Notice
Read all Instructions before Installing and operating this appliance
The installation in this manual is intended for qualied installers, service technicians or persons with •
similar qualied background. Installation and electrical wiring must be done by qualied professionals and in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including re-rated construction.
DO NOT• attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could result from installing the unit due to
lack of appropriate electrical and technical background.
Range hood may have very sharp edges; please wear protective gloves if it is necessary to remove any •
parts for installing, cleaning or servicing.
Activating any switch ON before completing installation may cause ignition or an explosion.•
Due to the size and weight of this range hood, two people installation is recommended.•
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons:
For general ventilating use only. • DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
The combustion air ow needed for safe operation of fuel-burning equipment may be affected by this •
unit’s operation. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such
as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society of
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power OFF at service panel and lock service panel to pre-•
vent power from being switched ON accidentally.
Clean grease laden surfaces frequently. To reduce the risk of re and to disperse air properly, make •
sure to vent air outside. DO NOT vent exhaust into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics
or garages.
Ducted fans MUST always be vented to the outdoors.•
Use only metal ductwork and this unit MUST be grounded.•
Sufcient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the duct to prevent •
back drafting.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage electrical wiring or other hid-•
den utilities.
All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded.•
Old duct work should be cleaned or replaced if necessary to avoid the possibility of a grease re.•
Check all joints on duct work to insure proper connection and all joints should be properly taped.•
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the •
vendor.
To reduce the risk of a stove top grease re:
Keep all fan, bafe, spaces, lter, grease tunnel, oil container and grease-laden surfaces clean. Grease •
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, bafe, spaces, lter, grease tunnel and oil container.
Always turn range hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking aming foods. •
Use high settings on cooking range only when necessary.•
Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers •
that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

Read all Instructions before Installing and operating this appliance
Clean ventilating fan frequently.•
Always use appropriate cookware and utensils size.•
Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.•
To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a stove top grease re:
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-tting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn OFF the burner. •
BECAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—you may be burned.
KEEP FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM FLAMES. If the ames DO
NOT go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT or dial your local
emergency service immediately.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels — a violent steam explosion will result.•
Use an extinguisher ONLY if:•
You know you have a Class A, B, C extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.•
The re is small and contained in the area where it is started.•
The re department is being called.•
You can ght the re with your back to an exit.•
To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a gas leaks:
Extinguish any open ame.•
DO NOT turn on the range hood fan or any type of ventilator.•
DO NOT turn on the lights or any type of appliance.•
Open all doors and windows to disperse the gas. If you still smell gas, call the gas company and re •
department, or dial your local emergency service immediately.

Venting Requirements
Height & Clearance
Vent system must terminate to the outside •
(roof or side wall).
DO NOT terminate the vent system in an at-•
tic or other enclosed area.
DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall •
caps.
Use metal/aluminum vent only. Rigid metal/•
aluminum vent is recommended.
DO NOT use plastic vent.•
Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper •
airow.
Calculate the following gures before instal-•
lation:
Distance from the oor to the ceiling.1.
Distance between the oor to the coun-2.
tertop/stove (recommend* 27” to 30”).
Distance between the countertop/stove 3.
to the range hood.
Height of hood and duct cover.4.
For the most efcient & quiet operation:
A distance of 27” to 30” is recommended* •
between stove top and the bottom of range
hood.
It is recommended that the range hood be •
vented vertically through the roof through 6”
(15.3 cm) or bigger round metal/aluminum
vent work.
The size of the vent should be uniform.•
Use no more than three 90° elbows.•
Make sure there is a minimum of 24” (61 •
cm) of straight vent between the elbows if
more than one elbow is used.
DO NOT install two elbows together.•
The length of vent system and number of •
elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efcient performance.
The vent system must have a damper. If •
roof or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT
use damper (if supplied) on top of the range
hood.
Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints •
in the vent system.
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof •
opening around the cap.
Maximum ceiling clearance
110” at 30” hood mounting
height above countertop/
stove (may vary with different model).

IMPORTANT:
A minimum of 6” round (standard for this range hood) or 3-1/4 x 10” rectangular duct (purchased separate-•
ly) must be used to maintain maximum airow efciency.
Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airow when connecting to provided •
duct.
Please use • Duct Run Calculation below to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions
and caps.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If long duct run is required, increase •
duct size from 6” to 7” or 8”. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer. Reducing duct size will restrict airow and decrease airow, thus reduce duct size as far away from opening as
possible.
If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as possible.•
Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 27-inch*.•
Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no higher than 30-inch*.•
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat •
damage and re hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose its performance
and efciency.
If available, also refer to stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood •
mounting height above range.
* Due to different ceiling height congurations, recommended height may not be applicable.
Minimum Duct Size:
Round - 6” minimum•
Rectangular - 3-1/4 x 10” minimum (requires a 6” to 3-1/4x10” adaptor, not supplied)•
Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, deduct the equivalent feet for each vent piece used in the system
from the recommended maximum duct run.
Duct Run Calculation:
Recommended maximum run
6” or 3-1/4 x 10” duct 50 ft
Vent piece deduction
Each 90º elbow used 9 ft
Each 45º elbow used 5 ft
Each 6” to 3-1/4 x 10” transition used 7 ft
Side wall cap with damper 0 ft
Roof cap 0 ft
Duct Run Calcuation example:
One roof cap, two 90º elbow, and one 45º elbow used:
0ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 23ft used.
Deduct 23ft from 50ft, 27ft maximum available for
straight duct run.

Venting Methods
This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.•
Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.•
IMPORTANT:
NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or •
garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
Use metal/aluminum duct work only. •
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certied Silver Tape or Duct Tape.•
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.•
