FIRE AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, observe the following:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 Engin eers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, DO NOT damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

• Ducted fans must ALWAYS be vented to the outdoors.

• DO NOT use this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.

FIRE HAZARD

To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:

• 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.

• ALWAYS turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. crepes suzette, cherries jubilee, peppercorn beef flambé).

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

• Use proper pan size. ALWAYS use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

In Case of Fire

To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a range topgrease fire, observe the following:*

• 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.

• NEVER pick up a flaming pan – you may be burned.

• DO NOT use water, including wet dishcloths or towels – violent steam explosion will result.

• Use an extinguisher ONLY if: o You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher

and you already know how to operate it.

o The fire is small and contained in the area

where it started. o The fire department is being called. o You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published

by NFPA.

C A U T I O N

FIRE HAZARD

To reduce the 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.

Safety and Cautions

• Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.

• Avoid using food products that produce flames under the range hood.

• For general ventilating use only. DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

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

• 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 motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.

• 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.

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

• 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.

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

Prepare the hood

Unpack hood and check contents. You should receive: 1 – Hood 1 – Decorative Flue Assembly 1 – Parts Bag containing:

1 – Mounting Bracket 1 – Discharge Collar 1 – Flue Mounting Bracket 6 – Mounting Screws (4.8 x 38mm Pan Head) 7 – Mounting Screws (3.9 x 9.5mm Pan Head) 2 – Mounting Screws (3.9 x 6mm Flat Head) 6 – Drywall Anchors 1 – Installation Instructions

Install the Ductwork (Ducted Hoods ONLY)

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

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.

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

3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the perfor mance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.

4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location. Use d uct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.
