RANGE HOOD SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARNING: 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.

• Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means 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 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 backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety

standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), 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 utilities.

• Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.

CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use

to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

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, attics or into crawl spaces, or garages.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY

METAL DUCTWORK.

WARNING: 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

flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,

Peppercorn Beef Flamb6).

[] 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.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO

PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: a

[] 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 -

a violent steam explosion will result.

[] Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

- You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

- The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

- The fire department is being called.

- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

aBased on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA. [] WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock,

do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

• 7" (17.8 cm) round damper, if using 7" (17.8 cm) round vent system

For cabinets with recessed bottoms:

• Four flat head wood screws or machine screws with washers and nuts (to attach filler strips).

IMPORTANT." Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

• It is the installer's responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located inside the range hood on

the rear wall.

• Range hood location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and strong heating vents.

• Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. Consult the cooktop/range manufacturer installation instructions before making any cutouts.

• Grounded electrical outlet is required. See "Electrical Requirements" section.

For Mobile Home Installations

The installation of this range hood must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, title 24, HUD, Part 280) or when such standard is not applicable, the standard for Manufactured Home Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups) ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A*, or latest edition, or with local

codes.

Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for non- Roof Venting vented (recirculating) installations.

Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.

Do not used a 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap. Use a 7" (17.8 cm) round metal vent or a 31/4"x 10"

(8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular metal vent. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.

• The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.

For the most efficient and quiet operation:

• Use no more than three 90° elbows. C

• Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.

• Do not install 2 elbows together.

• Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.

• The vent system must have a damper. Ifroof or wall cap has a damper, do not use damper supplied with the range hood.

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

Cold Weather Installations An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize

backward cold air flow and a thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent

system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break.

The break should be as close as possible to where the vent system enters the heated portion of the house.

Venting Methods

Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 31/4'' x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) with a maximum vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 7" (17.8 cm) round vent with a maximum length of 50 ft (15.2 m) for vent system.

NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that gently reduces

performance.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install range hood.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Using 2 or more people, lift the range hood onto covered surface.

If cabinet has recessed bottom, add wood filler strips on each side. Install screws to attach filler strips in locations shown.

Determine Wiring Hole Location

Cut only one 1V4" (3.2 cm) diameter wiring access hole. See Step 2 for wiring hole location instructions. Either wiring hole can be

used.

1. Determine and clearly mark a vertical centerline on the wall and cabinet in the area the vent opening will be made.

To wire through rear wall:

Mark a line 71/2"(19.0 cm) from the right of the centerline on the wall. Mark the point on this line that is 34" (1.9 cm) from

underside of cabinet. Drill a 1W' (3.0 cm) diameter hole through wall at this point.
