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 equipment manufacturer’s guidelines 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. Do not use this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.
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
(i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
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.

CAUTION
1. To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside.
Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl
spaces, or garages.
2. Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.
3. Avoid using food products that produce flames under the Range Hood.
4. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials and vapors.
5. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep
drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.
6. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the
motor if it becomes overheated. The motor will restart when it cools down.
If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
7. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be a
minimum of 24" and a maximum of 30" above the cooking surface. See “Install
Mounting Bracket” section for mounting restrictions.
8. Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this hood.
9. This product is equipped with a thermostat which may start blower automatically.
To reduce the risk of injury and to prevent power from being switched on
accidentally, switch power off at service panel and lock or tag service panel.
10. Do not use the top of the hood as a shelf.
11. Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

OPERATION
Controls
The hood is operated using the slide
controls under the bottom of the hood.
The light switch turns the lamps on and off.
The blower switch turns the blower on to three
speed settings:
0 - OFF
1 - LOW SPEED
2 - MEDIUM SPEED
3 - HIGH SPEED
The pilot lamp lights up whenever the blower
is on.
HEAT SENTRY™
Your hood is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY™ thermostat. This thermostat is a
device that will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the
cooking surface.
1. If blower is OFF - it turns blower ON to HIGH speed.
2. If blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns blower up to HIGH speed.
When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original
setting.
WARNING: The HEAT SENTRY thermostat can start the blower even if the
hood is turned OFF.When this occurs,it is impossible to turn the blower OFF with
its switch. If you must stop the blower, do it from the main electrical panel.

MAINTENANCE (cont’d)
Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help
preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
1. Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
2. Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth
to avoid water marks.
3. For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household
cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
4. 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.
5. DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
6. DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may
adhere to the surface causing rust.
7. DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds
to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these
compounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after
exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.

INSTALL ELECTRICAL
WARNING: Electrical wiring must be
done by a qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable codes and
standards. This range hood must be
properly grounded. Turn off electrical
power at service entrance before wiring.
1. Plan where the hood will be located above the
cook top. Refer to the “INSTALL MOUNTING
BRACKET” section for hood mounting height
options.
2. Install a standard 2” x 4” wall outlet box and
3-blade 125 volt, 15Amp grounded receptacle.
3. Mount the receptacle 18” to 22” above the
bottom of the hood.
4. Locate the receptacle within boundary shown
and off center of the ductwork (to allow for
power cord plug and flue clearance).
INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
(DUCTED HOODS ONLY)
!
CAUTION:To reduce the risk of fire, use
only metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run
between 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 towards hood
location. Use duct tape to seal the joints
between ductwork sections.

upper flue are concealed by installing the flue
with air vents down.
Note: On 9-foot ceilings the air vents on the
upper flue will be exposed after installation.
ROOMS WITH 10-FOOT CEILINGS
Rooms with 10-foot ceilings require flue
