agents or detergents. Suitable for use in household cooking area.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a. 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.
b. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when aming food
c. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or lter.
d. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

2. The re is small and contained in the area where it started.
3. The re department is being called.
4. You can ght the re with your back to an exit
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by quali ed person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
Including re-rated construction.
b. Suf cient air is needed for power combustion and exhausting of gases through the ue (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.
c. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
d. Ducted fans must always vent to the outdoors.
e. If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application and be connected to a GFI
(Ground Fault Interrupter protected branch circuit).
g. NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
h. Make sure the power is off before installing, wiring or maintenancing.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
CAUTION
To reduce risk of re and to properly exhaust air outside - Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings,
attics, crawl spaces or garages.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Important:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the customer’s responsibility:
- To contact a quali ed electrical installer.
- To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with 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.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a quali ed electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a quali ed electrician if you are not sure the range hood is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
*National Fire Protection Association Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Massachusetts 02269
** CSA International 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44131-5575
This appliance requires a 120V 60Hz electrical supply and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit
protected by a 15 or 20 ampere circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Wiring must be 2 wire with ground. Please also refer to
A cable locking connector (not supplied) might also be required by local codes. Check with local requirements, purchase
and install appropriate connector if necessary.
Maximum Duct Length: For satisfactory air movement, the
total duct length should not exceed 100 equivalent feet.

Minimum mount height between range top to hood
bottom should be no less than 26”.
Maximum mount height should be no higher than
36”.
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could
result in heat damage and re hazard; while hoods
mounted too high will be hard to reach and will
lose its performance and ef ciency.
Min 26" - Max 36"
36"
If available, also refer range manufacturer’s height
clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range. Always check your
local codes for any differences.

Vertical Ducting:
8” round minimum
Horizontal Ducting:
N/A
DUCTING
A minimum of 8” round must be used to maintain
maximum air flow efficiency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible
ducts could restrict air ow by up to 50%.
Installation – Mounting Height & Clearance
Also use calculation (on page 5) to compute total
available duct run when using elbows, transitions
and caps.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or
transitions and turns. If long duct run is required,
increase duct size.
DAMAGE-SHIPMENT / INSTALLATION:
- Please fully inspect unit for damage before
installation.
- If the unit is damaged in shipment, return the
unit to the store in which it was bought for
repair or replacement.
- If the unit is damaged by the customer, repair
or replacement is the responsibility of the
customer.
- If the unit is damaged by the installer (if other
than the customer), repair or replacement must
be made by arrangement between customer
and installer.
If turns or transitions are required; install as far
away from hood duct output and as far apart,
between the two as possible.

WARNING FIRE HAZARD
NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or garages.
All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
Use metal ductwork only.
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certi ed Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
