WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY
TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
•Use this unit only in the manner
intended by the manufacturer. If
you have questions, contact the
manufacturer.
•Before servicing or cleaning the
unit, switch the power off at the
service panel and lock the
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.
•Installation work and electrical
wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction.
•Do not operate any fan with a
damaged cord or plug. Discard
fan or return to an authorized
service facility for examination
and/or repair.
•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
guideline and safety standards
such as those published by the
National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), the
American Society for Heating,
Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code
authorities.
•When cutting or drilling into the
wall or ceiling; do not damage
electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
•Ducted fans must always be
vented to the outdoors.
-CAUTION: For general
ventilating use only. Do not
use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials and
vapors.
-CAUTION: To reduce the 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.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
WARNING: TO 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.
•Always turn the hood ON when
cooking at high heat or when
flambéing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
•Clean ventilating fans
frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on the
fan or filter.
•Use proper pan sizes. Always use
cookware appropriate for the
size of the surface element.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT
OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:*
•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.
•NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN
-you may be burned.
•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
ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to
operate it.
-The fire is small and
contained in the area where
it started.
-The fire department is being
called.
-You can fight the fire with
your back to an exit.
* Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips"
published by NFPA.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire
or electrical shock, do not use this
fan with any solid-state speed
control device.
WARNING: Do not let children near
this appliance. Do not let children
play with this appliance. Keep all
packaging materials out of
children’s reach. Properly dispose
the packaging materials after this
appliance is unpacked.

Location Requirements
9
IMPORTANT:
•Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Have a qualified technician install the range hood. It is the installer’s
responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the
model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial rating plate is located inside the
range hood on the rear wall of the range hood.
Range hood location should be away from strong draft areas, such as
windows, doors, and strong heating vents.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions
provide minimum clearance. Consult your cooktop/range manufacturer
installation instructions before making any cutouts.
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See the "Electrical Requirements"
section.
The range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. For ductless
(recirculating) installations see "Ductless (Recirculating) Installation Through
the Soffit/Cabinet" in the "Prepare Location" section. Charcoal filters are
required for ductless (recirculating) installations. See "Optional Parts" in the
"Tools and Parts" section to order.
All openings in ceiling and wall where range hood will be installed must be
sealed.
For Mobile Home Installations:
The installation of this range hood must conform to the Manufactured Home
Construction Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal
Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280)
or when such standard is not applicable, the standard for Manufactured
Home Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Setups)

•25.6" (65.0 cm) minimum and 29.5" (75.0 cm) suggested maximum
clearances between cooking surface and bottom of the range hood or
the cabinet.
•For ducted wall venting installations using a 90° elbow, 12" (30.5 cm)
minimum overhead cabinet clearance below the wall venting opening is
required.

Venting Requirements
(ducted installations only)
12
•Duct system must terminate to the outdoors, except for ductless
(recirculating) installations.
•Do not terminate the duct system in an attic or other enclosed area.
•Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
•Use metal duct only. A rigid metal duct is recommended. Plastic or metal
foil duct is not recommended.
•The length of duct system and number of elbows should be kept to a
minimum to provide efficient performance.
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
•Use rigid metal duct.
•Use no more than three 90° elbows.
•Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61.0 cm) of straight duct between
the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
•Do not install 2 elbows together.
•Use clamps to seal all joints in the duct system.
•The duct system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a
damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range hood.
•Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
•The size of the duct should be uniform.
Cold Weather Installations:
An additional backdraft damper should be installed to minimize backward
cold air flow and a thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction
of outside temperatures as part of the duct system. The damper should be on
the cold air side of the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the duct system enters the
heated portion of the house.
Makeup Air:
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using
ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified
CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific
requirements in your area.

Calculating Duct System Length
The recommended duct system is 6" (15.2 cm) round duct with a maximum
length of 35 ft (10.7 m). For the best performance, use no more than three 90°
elbows.
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet
(meters) for each duct piece used in the system.
Duct Piece 6" (15.2 cm) Round
45° elbow 2.5 ft (0.8 m)
90° elbow 5.0 ft (1.5 m)
Maximum equivalent duct length is 35 ft (10.7 m).
