Important Safety Notice

Read all Instructions before Installing and operating this appliance

• The installation in this manual is intended for qualied installers, service technicians or persons with
similar qualied background. Installation and electrical wiring must be done by qualied 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 va-
pors.

• 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 pre­vent 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.

• Sufcient 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 hid­den 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, bafe, spaces, lter, grease tunnel, oil container and grease-laden surfaces clean. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, bafe, 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.

Venting Requirements

• Vent system must terminate to the out­side (roof or side wall), unless using a
recirculating kit.

• Do not terminate the vent system in an
attic 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 airow.

• Calculate the following gures before
installation:

1. Distance from the oor to the ceil-

ing.

2. Distance between the oor to the

counter top/stove (recommend 24”
to 30”).

3. Distance between the counter top/

stove to the range hood.

4. Height of hood and duct cover.

For the most efcient and quiet
operation:

• It is recommended that the range hood
be vented vertically through the roof
through 6” (15 cm) 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 efcient performance.

• The vent system must have a damper.
If roof or wall cap has a damper, Do

Not use damper supplied with the
range hood.

• Use aluminum tape to seal all joints in

the vent system.

• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or
roof opening around the cap.
