WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or

injury when using your unit, observe the
following:

• Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards, including
fire-rated construction.

• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion
and exhausting of gases through the flue
(chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent
back drafting. 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 for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (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.

• WARNING!: To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.

• CAUTION!: 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.

WARNING

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

• Use this unit only in the manner for which it is
intended. If you have any questions, contact the
manufacturer.

• 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.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGETOP GREASE
FIRE:

1. Never leave surface units unattended at high

setting. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on
low or medium settings.

2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high

heat or when cooking flaming foods. (i.e.
Crepes suzette, Cherries jubilee, Peppercorn
beef flambé).

3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease

should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or
filter.

4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware

appropriate for the size of the surface element.

Unplug power cords from control panel before
cleaning or servicing hood.

CAUTION

Do not use a porcelain cleaner or rough abrasive
cleaner.

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

If the power to the hood is not disconnected
during cleaning, the heat sensor thermostat
can cause the blower to turn on.

CAUTION

This appliance is not to be used by persons
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of

Although the hood is cleaned upon completion of the manufacturing process, you will probably need to clean your
hood again after installation. Wipe the surface of the hood with a good household cleaner applied with a soft cloth,
or stainless steel polish, depending on the finish of your hood. This will leave a protective finish on the hood.

Heat Sensor Thermostat

Your hood is equipped with a heat sensor thermostat. The thermostat will turn on or speed up the blower if it
senses excessive heat above the cooking surface. If the blower is OFF - the sensor turns the blower on to HIGH
speed. If the blower is on at a lower speed setting - the sensor turns the blower up to HIGH speed. When the
temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original setting and the display will be cleared.
