WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS FAN WITH ANY SOLID-STATE CONTROL DEVICE.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer, if you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
b. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock 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.
CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors. Take care when using cleaning
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 fl aming food
c. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or fi lter.
Important Safety Notice
d. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
e. Keep fan, fi lters and grease laden surfaces clean.
f. Use high setting on hood only when necessary.
g. Don’t leave hood unattended when cooking.
h. Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type of and amount of food being prepared.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fi tting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS.
If the fl ames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
c. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

2. The fi re is small and contained in the area where it started.
3. The fi re department is being called.
4. You can fi ght the fi 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 qualifi ed person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
Including fi re-rated construction.
b. Suffi cient air is needed for power combustion and exhausting of gases through the fl 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.
2
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
CAUTION
To reduce risk of fi re and to properly exhaust air outside - Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings,
attics, crawl spaces or garages.
OPERATION
Always leave safety grilles and fi lters in place. Without these components, operating blowers could catch onto hair, fi ngers
and loose clothing.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of failure to observe the instructions given here for installation,
maintenance and suitable use of the product. The manufacturer further declines all responsibility for injury due to

all local codes and ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualifi ed electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualifi 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
Electrical Diagram on product.
A cable locking connector (not supplied) might also be required by local codes. Check with local requirements, purchase
and install appropriate connector if necessary.

Minimum mount height between range top to hood
bottom should be no less than 24”.
Maximum mount height should be no higher than
32”.
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could
result in heat damage and fi re hazard; while hoods
mounted too high will be hard to reach and will
lose its performance and effi ciency.
Min 24” - Max 32"
96"
36"
If available, also refer range manufacturer’s height
clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range.
Vertical Ducting:
3-1/4”x10” minimum
Horizontal Ducting:
3-1/4”x10” minimum
DUCTING
A minimum 3-1/4” x 10” rectangular duct must be
used to maintain maximum air fl ow effi ciency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible
ducts could restrict air fl 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.
If turns or transitions are required; install as far
away from hood duct output and as far apart,
between the two as possible.
6
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 certifi ed Silver Tape or Duct Tape.

luster and grain. Always scrub lightly using a micro fi ber or clean cotton cloth and with grain.
Metal MeshFilters
The metal mesh filters are intended to trap residue and grease from cooking. Although the fi lters should never
need replacing, they are required to be cleaned every 30 days or more often depending on cooking habits.
Filters may be placed in dishwasher at low heat or soaked in hot soapy water. Dry fi lters and re-install before
using hood.
Removing Metal Mesh Filters (Fig 2)
