WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address
or telephone number listed in the warranty.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service
panel and lock service panel 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.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting
of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equioment manufac-
turer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published
by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

O REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
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.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cook-
ing flaming foods.
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the
size of the surface element.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT
OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOW-
ING*:
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or
metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT
BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UPA FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a
violent steam explosion will 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 start-
ed.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Firesafety Tips” published by NFPA.
1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazard-
ous or explosive materials and vapors.
2. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, this range hood
should not be used with an additional speed control device.
3. To reduce the risk of shock, disconnect power before servic-
ing.
4. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to
duct air outside.
PLAN THE INSTALLATION
Recommended mounting height is 18” to 24” from the bottom of the
range hood to the top of the cooking surface.
The hood should be mounted to the bottom of a standard wall
cabinet. If the hood must be mounted directly to a wall, secure the
hood to wail studs.
All wiring must comply with local codes and the unit must be properly
grounded. The hood is connected to a 110-120VAC lighting circuit
(15 amp) in the circuit breaker or fuse box.
This range hood is “Convertible” — it may be installed as a ducted
or as a non-ducted unit.
IF THE RANGE HOOD IS TO BE NON-DUCTED:
Purchase non-ducted (duct-free) charcoal filter Model
BPQTF.
IF THE RANGE HOOD IS TO BE DUCTED:
Ductwork can be installed vertically or horizontally.
Duct runs should be as short as possible.
Avoid the use of elbows.
Use duct tape at all joints.
Do not use duct smaller than the discharge on the hood.
For 7” round ductwork installation, use 7” round damper, Model
BP87 (97010792) Purchased damper separately.

PREPARATION
1. Use the dimensional drawings (Refer to FIGURES 1 - 3) to lay
out the range hood’s mounting holes, wiring access and duc-
twork by marking the cabinet bottom and drywall where appli-
cable. NOTE: Cabinets with recessed bottoms will require wood
shims to make mounting surface flush with cabinet frame.
2. Make cutouts for wiring and ductwork.
3. If the hood is to be ducted, install the ductwork so that is flush
to the range hood’s mounting surface.
Refer to FIGURE 1 if the range hood is to be installed with a
horizontal discharge.
Refer to FIGURE 2 and FIGURE 3 if the range hood is to be
installed with a vertical discharge.
4. Run two-conductor wire (with ground) frorn a power source to
the hood location. Bring approximately 12” of wiring through
wiring hole in cabinet.
5. Drill four 3/32” diameter pilot holes at points where mounting
holes are marked in cabinet bottom.
6. Insert four (4) mounting screws, leaving approximately 1%” of
thread exposed.
7. Remove and retain the mounting screws securing the 3%” x
10” and 7” duct transitions to the hood. Install the appropriate
duct transition as described in the installation section.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove the necessary duct opening and wiring knockout from
the range hood.
lf the range hood is to be installed as a non-ducted unit,
remove the wiring Knockout only.
lf the range hood is to be installed as a ducted unit, a baffle
plate is provided to close off the non-ducted vent. Install baffle
plate (Refer to FIGURE 4) by sliding into place behind grille.
Use locator burps to orient in grille.
2. For 7” round discharge installation, refer to FIGURE 5. Se-
cure 7” adapter (included) to top of hood using screws provided.
Install 7” round damper (Model BP87 (97010792), purchased
separately).
For 3%” x 10” vertical discharge installation, refer to FIG-
URE 6. Secure 3%” x 10” transition (if used) to top of hood.
For 3%” x 10” horizontal discharge installation, refer to
FIGURE 7. If using supplied 314” x 10” duct transition, secure
it to the range hood. Ensure that the damper flap operates
fully and freely. If it does not, remove the damper flap or make
necessary modifications to the installation to insure full and free
operation of the damper flap.
3. Feed the wiring through the access hold and into the electrical
box.
4. Align hood’s keyhole mounting slots over the four (4) partially
installed screws.
5. Making sure the duct positions over the hood’s duct transition,
push the hood against the rear wall. Secure hood by tightening
screws.
6. Using a long blade screwdriver, reach into the discharge open-
ing and make sure the damper flap operates freely (vertical
discharge only).

WIRING CONNECTIONS
All wiring connections must comply with local codes and the unit
must be properly grounded.
1. Make sure box connector is secure.
2. Refer to FIGURE 8. Make wiring connections.
3. Replace electrical box cover and secure with screw.
LAMP INSTALLING
OR REPLACEMENT
1. Depress sides of light diffuser until tabs of diffuser disengage
from slots in hood. Remove diffuser.
2. Install (2) GO watt maximum, Type A-19 bulbs.
3. Replace difuser in hood by depressing sides and engaging tabs
in slots in hood.
FILTER INSTALLATION
AND REPLACEMENT
1. For ducted operation, install the aluminum mesh filter. For non-
duct operation, install the non-ducted filter (Model BPQTF, sold
separately).
2. Refer to FIGURE 9. The filter slides into channels at the back
of the hood, on either side of the fan compartment, and snaps
under the spring clips near the front of the fan compartment.
MAINTENANCE
FILTERS
IMPORTANT: The aluminum filter should be removed once monthly
and washed in hot detergent water. Rinse in clear, warm water and
shake off excess moisture before replacing. The filler may also be
cleaned in your dishwasher.
IN A NON-DUCTED INSTALLATION: Replace filter every 3-6
months as needed.
CLEANING
The hood should be wiped off occasionally both inside and outside
using warm water, mild dish detergent and a soft cloth. Never use
scouring powders, steel wool pads or any other abrasive cleaners
which will destroy the hood’s finish.
