IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE 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.
■ Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug.
Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for
examination and/or repair.
■ 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
■ 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.

■ WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock,
do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control
device.

“Accessories” section.
Location Requirements
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 left 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.
■ All openings in ceiling and wall where range hood will be
installed must be sealed.
■ These range hoods are factory set for vented installations.
Models that are capable of being installed as non-vented
(recirculating) require charcoal filters. See the “Accessories”
section to order charcoal filter kit.
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.

■ The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a
damper, remove the damper flap from the vent damper
supplied with the range hood. (See “Damper Flap Removal
for 3¼" x 10" [8.3 x 25.4 cm] Vent Connector” in the “Install
the Range Hood” section.)
NOTE: If a damper is used, the range hood may not meet
California Title 24 compliance.
■ 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.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems
when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air
movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your
area.
Venting Methods
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use
3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular with a maximum vent
length of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 7" (17.8 cm) or larger round vent with a
maximum length of 50 ft (15.2 m) for vent system.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates

C. 30" (76.2 cm) min. cabinet opening width for 30" (76.2 cm) models

Venting Requirements
■ Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for non-
vented (recirculating) installations.
■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed
area.
■ Do not use 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, depending on your
installation requirements. 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.
■ 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 or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
NOTE: It is recommended that the vent system be installed
before hood is installed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Depending on your model, determine which venting method
to use: roof, wall or non-vented (recirculating).
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
4. Lift the range hood and set it upside down onto covered
surface.
5. If cabinet has recessed bottom, add wood filler strips on each
side. Install screws to attach filler strips in locations shown.
■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is
required.
■ If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure
below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail
leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
■ Wire sizes and connections must conform with the rating of
the appliance as specified on the model/serial rating plate.
The model/serial plate is located behind the filter on the rear
wall of the range hood.
■ Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA
Standards C22. 1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and
C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes and
ordinances.
