4. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish-cloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.

2. 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, attach a tag to the service panel to indicate power has been switched off for maintenance.

3. Clean ventilating fans frequently.

Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

4. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

5. 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.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

The high degree of craftsmanship in the construction and finish of your hood requires careful handling to ensure proper installation.

• Do not remove your hood from its crate until you are ready to hang it.

• Do not store your hood anywhere other than within the box.

If it is necessary to remove your hood from the box, arrange it on a blanket or padded area that will protect your hood from scratches or indentations.

• Do not lift the hood by its utensil rail. Place your fingers under the lower reveal of the hood. Grasp firmly and lift.

• Cotton gloves are preferable. They will protect the surface from fine scratches and eliminate fingerprints.

• Remove all rings, watches, belt buckles, and jackets

(snaps-zippers) to prevent scratch marks.

• Do not remove the plastic from your hood until the installation process is complete. It will be necessary to remove only a small portion on the back-side of a wall mounted hood in order to position in place.

• Located within the hood cavity (behind the baffle filter) are component parts and halogen bulbs.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

CHECK THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

• If your installation has been roughed-in (including ductwork and wiring), be certain there is nothing in the way of the mounting, pipes, other wiring etc.

• If the installation has not been roughed in, check what is needed to create the framing and mounting hardware (allthreads, nuts, etc.). Be sure the location will not interfere with wiring, other utilities, or structural considerations.

CHOOSE THE INSTALLATION METHOD

• There are several different methods available to mount the hood: the Unistrut, Angle

Iron, Frame In, Wall Mount, Island Mount and Rough-In Plate Mount, which can be used for both indoor and outdoor. Please check the model options for the suggested methods of your installation. Each hood type and site requirements are presented as follows.

• Please read the instructions in their entirety prior to installing the hood.

1. Position the Chimney hood on its back and locate the transition inside the Chimney hood; remove the (4) #8 x 1/2" self tapping screws at the top of the hood which hold the transition to the hood (save these screws for later use), then remove the transition from the hood interior through the bottom.

2. Install the transition to the duct work making sure the bottom of the transition is centered and flush with the bottom of the DuctCover. Check the position of the transition by sliding the DuctCover over the mounted transition, and verify that the transition is flush, and centered to the bottom of the DuctCover. When transition installation is complete, be sure to check that the damper is not hindered from opening if using mechanical fasteners.

(See Figure 5.)

3. If the Electrical feed extends from the ceiling, remove the knockout at the top of the hood prior to installing the

DuctCover, in order to facilitate feeding the Romex down into the hood cavity to the electrical box. (See Figure 2.)

4. Install the DuctCover to the top of the hood using the

12/24 self tapping 7/8" length screws. Also bolt the hood to the DuctCover using the supplied stainless steel 5/16” bolts.

5. Before hanging the hood, drill holes in the back of the hood, if necessary, to line up with the structural members in the wall. Also, be prepared when hanging the hood to feed the electrical either through the top down, or use the knockout provided in the back. You may drill a hole in the back, if necessary, to accommodate the electrical.

(See Figure 2.)

6. Slide the Hood up the wall with the transition sliding inside the DuctCover, then secure the hood to the back wall (drilling through the back of the hood to locate studs). Use the #10 x 2" long self-tapping screws to secure the hood to the wall structure. (See Figure 6.)

7. Once the Hood is secure, attach the transition to the rectangular plate at the junction of the hood and

DuctCover with the screws that were removed from the transition. (See Figure 6.)

Under certain circumstances the installer may opt for a different installation sequence. The alternate sequence is listed below.

1. Drill holes in back of DuctCover to align with structural members; fasten DuctCover to wall using supplied #10 x 2" self tapping screws; attach duct cover through ceiling opening in top of structure, if available. (See Figure 7.)

2. Install Transition to ductwork, assuring transition bottom is centered and flush with bottom of DuctCover (in most cases you will not be able to mechanically fasten transition to ductwork. If mechanical fasteners are used, use duct tape to hold transition in place until hood is mounted.

This may be followed by a small amount of silicone at the connection of the transition to ductwork). (See Figure 8.)

3. Install the Hood to the DuctCover. Fasten the Hood to back wall (drilling through the back of the Hood and

USING A CHIMNEY HOOD IN A REAR DISCHARGE APPLICATION

The Independent Chimney Hood can adapt to a rear discharge application with the following limitations:

A rear discharge application only works when using a 24" tall ductcover or taller. The 12" ductcover does not allow enough room to fit the transition (with damper) and an elbow within the ductcover. The rear discharge cannot be made within the hood itself, but rather be made in the ductcover.

Remove the screws from the back of the ductcover, followed by removing the rear panel of the ductcover. This will allow the ducting to exit from the rear of the ductcover. (See Figure 16.)

INSTALLING A CFM-600C IN A 30" CHIMNEY

The following instructions only apply when installing a CFM-600C in a 30" Chimney hood.

The Independent 30" Chimney hood has an adapter plate installed inside the hood. In order to install a CFM-600C fan within a 30" Chimney hood, first remove this adapter plate, and use this plate in lieu of the plate shipped with the CFM-600C fan.

1. Remove the adapter plate from the 30" Chimney hood by removing the four (4) 10/24 nuts. (See figure 14.)

2. Unpack the CFM-600C fan (shipped separately).

3. Remove the CFM-600C fan from the mounting plate, by removing the four (4) screws holding the fan to the plate.

4. Attach the CFM-600C fan to the adapter plate previously removed from the 30" Chimney hood.

5. Insert the CFM-600C fan unit into the 30" Chimney hood using the previously removed four (4) 10/24 nuts.

WIRING A REMOTE FAN

If using a remote fan with the Chimney hood, follow the instructions listed below.

The Independent Chimney hood is designed for 3 speed fan motors only! It is not designed for use with variable speed applications.

1. The molex plug mounted within the front portion of the hood supplies power to the remote fan. Connect the male molex pigtail supplied with the Independent remote fan to the molex plug. Route the wire ends into the hood jbox. Connect these wires to the remote fan wires within the hood j-box. (See figure 13.)

2. If using a Remote fan for a 30" Chimney hood, remove and discard the adapter plate. (See Figure 14.)

HIGH HEAT SENSOR

A HIGH HEAT SENSOR is integral to the complete line of Independent Hoods.

It is activated when the exhaust temperature reaches 200˚ F (93˚ C) and deactivates as the temperature decreases to 186˚F (85˚C). If the fan is operating on the low speed, and the HIGH HEAT SENSOR engages, the fan motor will automatically change to high speed until the temperature decreases.

CONTROLS

Always turn the hood on before cooking to establish an air flow in the kitchen. Allow the fan to operate for a few minutes to clear the air after you turn the range off.

This will help keep the entire kitchen smoke free and fresher smelling.

FAN

The fan is controlled by a multi-speed switch. Printed speeds on the control panel correspond with fan speed.
