INSTALLING THIS RANGEHOOD
WARNING: - 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 setting.
b)AlwaysturnhoodONwhencookingathighheatorwhenambeing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lter.
d)Useproperpansize. Alwaysusecookwareappropriateforthesizeofthesurfaceelement.
WARNING: - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A
RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:
a)SMOTHER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 ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, do not use this
fan with any solid-state speed control device.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any
questions, contact the manufacturer.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the
service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on acciden-
tally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
CAUTION: For General Ventilating Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous or
Explosive Materials and Vapors.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. InstallationWorkAndElectricalWiringMustBeDoneByQualiedPerson(s)InAccor-
dance With All Applicable Codes And Standards, Including Fire-Rated Construction.
2. Sufcientairisneededforpropercombustionandexhaustingofgasesthrough
theue(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),and theAmerican
SocietyforHeating,RefrigerationandAirConditioningEngineers(ASHRAE),and
the local code authorities.

3. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and
other hidden utilities.
4. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
ALL WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS WHERE THE RANGEHOOD IS INSTALLED MUST
BE SEALED.
This rangehood requires at least 35" of clearance between the bottom of the rangehood
and the cooking surface or countertop. This hood has been approved by UL at this distance
from the cooktop.
Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given by the manufacturer before making
any cutouts. MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION The installation of this rangehood must conform
to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly
Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280).
• Venting system MUST terminate outside the home.
• DO NOT terminate the ductwork in an attic or other enclosed space.
• DO NOT use 4" laundry-type wall caps.
• Flexible-type ductwork is not recommended.
• DO NOT obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a re.
WARNING
!
Cold Weather installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air ow and a
nonmetallic thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as
part of the vent 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 vent system enters the heated portion of the house.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Determine which venting method is best for your application. Ductwork can extend either through the
wall or the roof.
The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efcient
performance. The size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do not install two elbows together. Use
duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork system. Use caulking to seal exterior walls and ceiling space
opening around the cap.
Flexible ductwork is not recommended. Flexible ductwork creates back pressure and air turbulence
that greatly reduces performance.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the walls and ceiling space for exhaust duct before making
cutouts. Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a
supporting frame must be constructed.
WARNING - To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Use Only Metal Ductwork.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC-only electrical supply is required on a separate 15 amp fused circuit. A time-delay
fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. The fuse must be sized per local codes in accordance with
the electrical rating of this unit as specied on the serial/rating plate located inside the unit near the eld
wiring compartment.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION WITH WIRING BOX
THIS UNIT MUST BE CONNECTED WITH COPPER WIRE ONLY. Wire sizes must conform to the
requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition, and all local codes and
ordinances. Wire size and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance. Copies of the
standard listed above may be obtained from:
National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, Massachusetts 02269
This appliance should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) through
exible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable. Allow some slack in the cable so the
appliance can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. A UL Listed, 1/2" conduit connector must
be provided at each end of the power supply cable (at the appliance and at the junction box).
When making the electrical connection, cut a 1 1/4" hole. A hole cut through wood must be
sanded until smooth. A hole through metal must have a grommet.
• Electrical ground is required on this rangehood.
• If cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, nonmetallic gaskets or other materials, DO
NOT use for grounding.
• DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.
• DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit could result in electrical shock.
• Check with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the rangehood is
properly grounded.
• Failure to follow electrical requirements may result in a re.

Put a thick, protective covering over cooktop
to protect from damage or dirt.
Determine and clearly mark with a pencil on the
ceiling where the rangehood will be installed.
Determine and make necessary cuts for the
ductwork. The duct opening is shown on the
mounting template.
Install ductwork before mounting the hood.
Determine the proper location for the Power
Supply Cable as indicated on the template.
Use a 1 1/4" Drill Bit to make this hole. Run
the Power Supply Cable. Use caulking to seal
around the hole.
A knockout for threading through the Power
Supply from the ceiling is located on the top
of the frame. Do not connect the Power Cable
to the Wiring Box or power up the hood at this
time. Run enough power cable from the ceiling
to reach the wiring box on the hood.
Do not make any cutouts until you have decided whether this installation will be ducted or
non-duct and then plan accordingly.
DUE TO THE SIZE AND
WEIGHT OF THIS RANGE-
HOOD, THE SUPPORT MUST
BE FIRMLY ATTACHED TO
THE CEILING. For plaster or
sheet rock ceiling, the support
must be attached to the joists.
If this is not possible, a support
structure must be built behind
the plaster or sheet rock. The
manufacturer assumes no re-
sponsibility for injury or damage
caused by improper installa-
tions.
