Intended for domestic cooking only
WARNING WARNING CAUTION
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 at the address or telephone number
listed in the warranty.
• Before servicing or cleaning 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 a qualified person(s)
in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction codes and standards.
• 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),
and 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 hidden utilities.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
• Do not use this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
• This unit must be grounded.
• When installing, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear
safety glasses and gloves.
• When applicable local regulations comprise more restrictive installation and/or
certification requirements, the aforementioned requirements prevail on those
of this document and the installer agrees to conform to these at his own expense.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A 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 flambeing food
(i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate
on fan or filter.
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the
surface element.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE
EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:*
1. 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.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - violent steam
explosion will result.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to
operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
• For indoor residential use only.
• 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
or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
• Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.
• Avoid using food products that produce flames under the Range
Hood.
• For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous
or explosive materials and vapors.
• To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced
impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power
unit.
• Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically
shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. The motor will restart
when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart,
have the hood serviced.
• The bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 24” and
recommended at a maximum of 30” above the cooktop for best
capture of cooking impurities.
• Use only with range hood cord connection kits that have been
investigated and found acceptable for use with this model range
hood.
• Please read specification label on product for further information
and requirements
.
1. INSTALL THE DUCTWORK (DUCTED
INSTALLATION ONLY)
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
1.
Decide where
the ductwork
will run between
the powerpack
insert and the
outside. (FIG. 1)
2. A straight, short
duct run will
allow the hood
to perform most
efficiently.
3. Long duct runs,
elbows, and
transitions will
reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible.
Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.
4. Install wall cap or roof cap (sold separately). Connect metal ductwork to
cap and work back towards the hood location. Use 2” metal foil duct tape
to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

4. PREPARE THE CABINET
NOTES: A. The unit has to be installed inside the cabinet.
B. The unit should be mounted centered laterally over the cooktop burners.
C. For back to front position, the unit must be mounted according to local building codes.
1. Cut a hole in the bottom of the cabinet, using the dimensions shown (FIG. 6).
2. Measure the remaining material of the cabinet bottom sides (C in FIG. 7), if it is 1/4” or more, there is no need to use the cabinet brackets. Go to step 7.
3. When there is less than 1/4” remaining material (C), carefully remove those strips. Measure the cabinet inner width (D in FIG. 7). Refer to the table below
to see which cabinet bracket edge configuration must be used.
WARNING
The cabinet must be secured to wall studs or other wooden framework behind the drywall to support the weight of this
unit. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to countertop or cooktop.
