TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1. Never leave surface units unattended. Rapid boiling causes smoke and grease spills that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on a low or medium setting.

2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food.

3. Clean the ventilating fans frequently. Do not allow grease to accumulate on the fan, fan blades and filter.

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

WARNING

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 AVOID

BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE

THE AREA AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN. You may get burned or spread the fire.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishclothes or towels; a violent steam explosion could 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 has already been called.

D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

1. For indoor use only.

2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

3. To best capture cooking impurities, the range hood should be mounted so that the bottom of the hood is 26”-34” above the cooking surface.

4. Read the specification label on this product for information and requirements.

NOTE: These instructions are for ducted installations only.

Installer: Leave this manual with the homeowner.

Homeowner: Cleaning, maintenance, and operating instructions begin on page 3.

DUCTING

Determine whether the hood will discharge vertically or horizontally. For vertical or horizontal discharge, run ductwork between the hood location and roof cap or wall cap.

A minimum 6” round duct must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency.

Always use rigid type metal ducts only.

Whenever possible reduce the number of transitions and turns in the ductwork. If a long duct run is required increase the duct size from 6” to 7”.

If elbows or bends are required; install as far away from the hood as possible.

Minimum mounting height between the range and the bottom of the hood should be no less than 26”.

Maximum mounting height between the range and the bottom of the hood should be no more than 34”

The hood is equipped with a heat sensing thermostat. If the safety device detects heat in excess of 158°F (70°C) above the cooking surface, it will turn on or speed up the fan. If the fan is not on or running at a low speed, the heat sensor will override the normal fan control and run the fan on high speed.

When the temperature level drops below 158°F (70°C) the fan speed will revert back to its original setting.
