Important Safety Information
WARNING: TO REDUCE 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 range hood ON when cooking at
highheatorwhenambéingfood(i.e.Crepes
Suzette,CherriesJubilee,etc.).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or lter.
Before servicing or cleaning unit, unplug and
disconnect the hood from the power supply.
d) Useproperpansize.Alwaysusecookware
appropriateforthesizeofthesurfaceelement.
WARNING: TO REDUCE RISK OF INJURY TO
PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING *
a) S MOTHER FLAMES with a close-tting
lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn
off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT
BURNS.Iftheames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) You know you have a Class A, B, C
extinguisher, and you already know how to
operate it.
2) The re is small and contained in the area
where it is started.
3) The re department is being called.
4) You can ght the re with your back to an exit.
*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips”
published by NFPA
To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the
event of a gas leaks:
• Extinguishanyopename.
• DO NOT turn on the lights or any type of appliance.
• Openalldoorsandwindowstodispersethe
gas. If you still smell gas, call the gas company
and re department.
Your safety and the safety of others is very
important. We have provided many important
safety messages in this manual and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages. All safety messages outline any

Installation
STEP 1
Read the Safety Instructions
• It is very important to read the safety instructions on pages 4 and 5.
IMPORTANT: It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances.
STEP 2
Unpack Range Hood and Prepare Tools
• Carefully unpack the range hood and parts. Make sure all parts are included as shown on page 6.
• DO NOT remove the protective lm covering the appliance until the installation is fully completed.
• Consult a qualied and trained installer or check local codes for makeup air requirement, if any.
STEP 3
Plan Desired Location
• Plan a desirable location that ts all requirements in the Safety and Installation sections of this manual. Plan where
and how the ductwork will be installed.
• A straight or short duct run will allow the unit to perform most efciently. Long duct runs, elbows and transitions
willreducetheperformanceoftheunit.Eachelbowisequivalentto5to10feetofstraightrun.Propersizeduct
work should be 6” (152 mm) in diameter.
• To reach a 9 foot ceiling make sure hood is installed 30 inches from cooking surface. If you have a ceiling
greater than 9ft, please visit anconahome.com to order a chimney extension.
• If ductwork is already installed: ensure ductwork is free from debris and measures 6” (152 mm).
STEP 4
Test Unit Functions
• Plug the unit in and test all of the functions before installing.
WARNINGS:
• PleasemakesuretoreadALLsafetyinstuctionsonpages4and5.

STEP 5
Venting Installation Guidelines
• The following steps are for exterior ventilation.
• If you require a ductless installation, please visit anconahome.com to purchase a recirculation kit.
Height and Clearance
IMPORTANT:
• 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.Arigidmetal/aluminum
vent is recommended.
• DONOTusea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 and the countertop/stove
3. 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.
4. Height of hood and duct cover.
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
• Itisrecommendedthattherangehoodbevented
vertically through the roof through 10” (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, you may remove damper flaps from
damper to increase air flow.
• 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.
To reach 9 ft ceiling, make sure
range hood is installed at least
30” (762 mm) from cooking surface.
