IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONSWARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICSHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
- Use this unit only in the manner intended by themanufacturer. If you have questions, contact themanufacturer.
- Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off atservice 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 byqualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codesand 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 forexamination and/or repair.
- Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuelburning 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 damageelectrical 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 be sure to duct air outside – do not vent exhaust air interspaces within walls or ceilings, attics or into crawl spaces, or garages. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLYMETAL DUCTWORK.
- Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that mayignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
- Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or whenflambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
- Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not beallowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
- Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate forthe size of the surface element.WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TOPERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:a
- SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet, ormetal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TOPREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go outimmediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIREDEPARTMENT.
- 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 youalready know how to operate it.–The fire is small and contained in the area where itstarted.–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.

- Vent system must terminate to the outside, except for non‑vented (recirculating) installations.
- Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or otheren closed area.
- Do not use a 4″ (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
- Use metal vent only. A rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
- The length of the vent system and number of elbows shouldbe 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″ (61.0 cm) of straightvent between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
- Do not install two elbows together.
- The vent system must have a damper.
- Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.

Calculate Vent System Length
The recommended vent system is 6″ (15.2 cm) round vent with a maximum length of 35 ft (10.7 m). For the best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows.
To calculate the length of the system, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each of the vent pieces used in the system.
Vent Piece6″ (15.2 cm)
45° elbow 2.5 ft (0.8 m)
90° elbow 5.0 ft (1.5 m)
Example vent system: 6″ (15.2 cm)
Maximum Length = 35 ft (10.7 m)
1 – 90° elbow = 5 ft (1.5 m)
1 – wall cap = 0 ft (0 m)
9 ft (2.8 m) straight = 9 ft (2.8 m)

- This range hood is equipped with a power supply cordhaving a 3 prong grounding plug.
- To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must beplugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet,grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personalresponsibility and obligation of the customer to have theproperly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
- The grounded 3 prong outlet is to be located inside thecabinet above the range hood at a maximum distance of337/16″ (85.0 cm) from where the power cord exits the hood.The grounded 3 prong outlet must be accessible afterinstallation of the range hood. See illustration.
GR OUNDING INSTRUCTIONSSAVE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS
- For a grounded, cord-connected range hood: This range hood must be grounded. In the event of anelectrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electricshock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This range hood is equipped with a cord having a groundingwire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged intoan outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper grounding can result in a risk ofelectric shock.Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the range hood is properly grounded.Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the range hood.
Using two or more people, lift range hood onto coveredsurface.
Range Hood Cabinet Cutout
- Use a saber saw or keyhole saw to cut out the cabinetbottom inside the cabinet frame.
NOTE: Frameless type cabinets require 3/4″ (19 mm) front lipin the cabinet bottom. A 3/4″ (19 mm) thick filler strip (notsupplied) may be required for some types of cabinets. (SeeStep 3 in the “Install Range Hood” section.) - Complete cabinet preparation following the instructions foryour type of venting. Determine venting cutout locations andcut out vent openings in the cabinets, walls, and/or soffit.
