For residential use only

Do not attempt to install or operate your appliance until you have read the safety precautions in this manual.

Safety items throughout this manual are labeled with a

WARNING or CAUTION based on the risk type.

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

WARNING

This symbol alerts you to situations that may cause serious body harm, death or property damage.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT indicates installation, operation, maintenance or valuable information that is not hazard related.

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 the unit, switch power

off at service panel and lock service panel

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.

C.

Installation Work and Electrical Wiring Must Be Done

By Qualified Person(s) In Accordance With all

Aplicable Codes & Standards, Including Fire-rated

Construction.

D.

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and ex

hausting of gases through the flue (Chimney) of fuel

burning equipment to prevent back- drafting. Follow

the heating equipment manufacturers 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.

E.

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not

damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

F.

Ducted systems must always be vented to the

outdoors.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside - do not vent ex haust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

CAUTION

FOR GENERAL VENTILATING USE ONLY. DO NOT

USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE

MATERIALS OR VAPORS.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL

DUCT WORK.

Install this hood in accordance with all requirements specified.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To Reduce The Risk Of Fire Or Electric Shock, Do

Not Use This Hood With Any External Solid State

Speed Control Device.

WARNING

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 (l.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries

Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).

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.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS,

IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: a) SMOTHER FLAMES

with a close - fitting lid, cookie

sheet, or other metal tray, then turn off the gas

burner or the electric element.

BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS.

If the flames 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:

1)

2)

You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

3)

4)

The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

The fire department is being called.

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

OPERATION

Always leave safety grills and filters in place.Without these components, operating blowers could catch onto hair, fingers 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 negligence and the warranty of the unit automatically expires due to improper mainte nance.

•

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused

electrical circuit is required.

•

If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the

procedure below:

1.

Connect a section of solid copper wire to the

pigtail leads.

.

Connect the aluminum wiring to the added

section of copper wire using special co

nectors and/or tools designed and UL listed

for joining copper to aluminum.

Follow the electrical connector manufacturer’s recommended procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.

•

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

•

It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with

installation clearances specified on the model/serial

rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located

inside the range hood on the left side (See page 2

for location). Range hood location should be away

from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors and

strong heating vents.

•

clearance. Consult the cooktop/range manufacturer

installation instructions before making any cutouts.

•

Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must

be used. Given dimensions provide minimum

Grounded electrical outlet is required. See

“Electrical Requirements” section.

•

All openings in ceiling and wall where canopy hood

will be installed must be sealed.

For Mobile Home Installations

•

•

•

Vent system must terminate to the outdoors.

Do not terminate the vent system into an attic or other

enclosed area.

Do not use a 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.

Use a 3¼ ” x 10” (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular metal

vent. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or

metal foil vent is not recommended.

•

The length of vent system and number of elbows

should be 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 cm) of straight

vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.

•

•

Do not install 2 elbows together.

Use clamps or duct tape to seal all joints in the

vent system.

The vent system at exit must have a cold air damper.

Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening

around the cap.

•

without elbows and using smooth pipe.

•

Best performances are reached with straight piping,

Maximum recomended vent system length: 35 ft (10.7m).

Cold Weather Installations

An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break.

The break should be as close as possible to where the vent system enters the heated portion of the house.

Makeup Air

Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

Venting Methods

Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall.

Use 3¼ ” x 10” (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular with a maximum vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 7” (17.8 cm) round vent with a maximum length of 50 ft (15.2 m) for vent system.

NOTE

Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates both back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.

.

Position the range hood so that the large end of

the keyhole slots are over the mounting screws.

Then push the hood toward the wall so that the screws

are in the neck of the slots. Tighten the mounting screws,

making sure the screws are in the narrow neck of slots.
