IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERATING THIS APPLIANCE
To reduce the risk of stove top grease fire:
●Keep all fans, filters, spacers, grease trays*, oil container* and grease-laden surfaces clean.
Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, filters, spacers, grease trays* and oil
container*, and surfaces.
●Always turn range hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods.
●Use high settings on cooking range only when necessary.
●Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
●Clean ventilating fan frequently.
●Always use appropriate cookware and utensils size.
●Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
Note: * if included with your model
To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a stove top grease fire:
●SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn OFF the
burner.
●BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—you may be
burned. KEEP FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM FLAMES. If
the flames DO NOT go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
●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 A, B, C extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where it is started.
• The fire department is being called.
•You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a gas leaks:

Damper Flap

•Vent system must terminate to the outside
(Roof or side wall).
•DO NOT terminate the vent system in an attic
or other enclosed area.
•DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall
caps.
•Use metal/aluminum vent only. Rigid metal/
aluminum vent is recommended.
•DO NOT use plastic vent.
•Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper
airflow.
•Calculate the following figures before
installation:
1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling
2. Distance between the floor to the
countertop/stove
3. Distance between the cooking surface to
the range hood (recommend 24” to 30”)
minimum of 30” is required for gas cook top
4. Height of hood and duct cover
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
•A distance of 24” to 30” is recommended
between stove top and the bottom of range
hood. 30” minimum is required for gas stove tops.
•It is recommended that the range hood be
vented vertically through the roof through 6”
(15.3 cm) or bigger round metal/aluminum
vent work.
•The size of the vent should be uniform.
•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 one
elbow is used.
•DO NOT install two elbows together.
•The length of vent system and number of elbows
should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient
performance.
•The vent system must have a damper. If roof or
wall cap has a damper, DO NOT use damper (if
supplied) on top of the range hood.
•Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints in the
vent system.
•Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening
around the cap.

IMPORTANT:
• A minimum of 6” round or 3-1/4 x 10” rectangular duct (purchased separately) must be used to
maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
• Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airflow when connecting to
provided duct.
• Please use Duct Run Calculation below to compute total available duct run when using elbows,
transitions and caps.
• ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If long duct run is required,
increase duct size from 6” to 7” or 8”. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake
reducer. Reducing duct size will restrict airflow and decrease airflow, thus reduce duct size as far
away from opening as possible.
• If turns or transitions are required, install as far away from opening and as far apart, between two
(2), as possible.
• Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 24-inch for
electric cook tops and minimum of 30-inch for gas stove tops and no higher than 30-inch for electric
cook tops.
• It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result
in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods mounted too high may be hard to reach and will lose its
performance and efficiency.
• If available, also refer to stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended
hood mounting height above range.
CALCULATING VENT SYSTEM LENGTH:
To calculate the length of the system you need, deduct the equivalent feet for each vent piece used in the
system from the recommended maximum duct run.
Duct Run Calculation example:
One roof cap, two 90º elbows, and one 45º
elbow use
0ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 23ft used.
Deduct 23ft from 30ft, 7ft maximum
available for straight duct run.

•This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
•Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling,
attics or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
•
WARNING - TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, USE METAL/ALUMINUM DUCT WORK ONLY
•
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified aluminum or foil tape.
Please check the building codes in your city to learn which tape product is recommended
•
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
