INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
Ducted configuration
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork willrunbetween
the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood
to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will
reduce the performance of the hood. Use
as few of them as possible. Larger ducting
may be required for best performance with
longer duct runs.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round
metal ductwork to cap and work back to-
wards hood location. Use duct tape to seal
the joints between ductwork sections.

WIRING
Note: This range hood must be properly
grounded. The unit should be installed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with all
applicable national and local electrical
codes.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Thisappliancemust be grounded.Inthe event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
Position the electrical outlet at a maximum distance of 33-7/16” (85 cm) from
where the lead exits from the hood (see illustration alongside).
Fit the plug into the outlet.

HoodCleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials
to keep clean. Occasional care will help pre-
serve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
• Hotwater with soap or detergent is all that is
usually needed.
• Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to
avoid water marks.
• Fordiscolorationsordepositsthatpersist,useanon-scratchinghouseholdcleanser
or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
• For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with
cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the
stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar the surface.
•DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
•DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere
to the surface causing rust.
•DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to
remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these com-
pounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after expo-
sure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
