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 quali-
fied person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and
standards, including fire-rated construction codes and stan-
dards.
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 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 authori-
ties.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this
range hood with an additional speed control device.
7. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
10. This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ig-
nite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
cooking flaming foods.
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be al-
lowed 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
FOLLOWING:*
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or
metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PRE-
VENT 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 al-
ready know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA.
CAUTION &
1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous
or explosive materials and vapors.
2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced
impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power
unit.

PLANNING DUCTWORK
INSTALLATION
(This section for F30WV hoods only. F30WR and F24WR
hoods skip this section and go on to "Prepare the Hood'.')
Begin planning ductwork by deciding where the duct will run
between the range hood and the outside. For best performance,
use the shortest possible duct run and a minimum number of
elbows. There are several choices shown - FIGS. A - F below.
FIG. A. Ducting directly through the wall (for range hoods
mounted on an exterior wall). Shown are two ways to duct
through an outside wall. If a wall cap is used directly off the
back of the hood, special care must be taken to make sure that
the damper in the damper/duct connector on the hood and
damper in the wall cap do not interfere with each other when
the hood is operating. This could result in either inadequate air
delivery or backdrafts. If this condition does exist, remove the
hood damper flap. Sometimes when using a wall cap it is easier
to duct vertically and then use an elbow as shown in FIG. B.
In more complex ducting situations, a 3-1/4" x 10" rec-
tangular ducting range hood (F30WV hood) can be converted
to a round duct by means of a transition.
FIG. C. Ducting straight up through the roof using
3-1/4" x 10" rectangular duct (for single story installations -
F30WV hood only).
FIG. D. Ducting between the ceiling joists (for multi-story instal-
lations) or through the soffit space above the cabinets (where
the soffit connects to an outside wall).
FIG. E. Straight up through the roof using 6" round duct (for
single-story installations).

PREPARE THE
INSTALLATION LOCATION
Omit STEP 1 if hood will be installed under cabinets with flush
bottom.
1. (For installation on recessed bottom cabinets only) Attach a
wood filler strip at each side of recessed area under cabi-
net. Use two 1" x 2" strips cut to length. If recess is deeper
than 1" use thicker strips. Attach strips with 1-1/4" wood
screws, 3" from each end of strip. See FIG. 4.
2. Measure and mark the following (FIGS. 5A & 5B):
a.) Electrical wiring opening in wall or cabinet.

3. Use 1-1/4" bit to drill opening for electric wiring.
4. Cut out duct opening in wall or cabinet with saber saw or
keyhole saw.
5. Center hood in installation opening and trace keyhole slots
onto wood filler strips on cabinet bottom.
6. Screw four #10 x 7/8 wood screws into exact center of narrow
end of traced keyhole slots. Allow 3/8" of screws to project, so

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
(This section for F30WV hoods only. F24WR and F30WR hoods
skip this section and go on to "Install Range Hood'.')
NOTE
These instructions will follow plans made on Page 2. Start at
the exterior and run ductwork back to the range hood.
For best possible performance, use the shortest possible duct
run and a minimum number of elbows. Do not vent a range
hood into an attic space. A buildup of grease in the attic could
become a fire hazard.
Use only metal ductwork. DO NOT USE PLASTIC DUCT. As-
semble duct run securely so that in case of a grease fire on the
range, the fire will be contained inside metal ductwork.
Tape all duct connections.
1. Follow appropriate directions below for type of duct run you install.
a.) Wall Cap Discharge; (FIG. 7) Use saber saw or keyhole saw to
cut hole slightly larger than duct size used so that duct will line
up easily with damper/duct conector on hood. Install casing strips
if cap will be installed on siding. Attach required amount of duct
to wall cap and run duct back to hood. Fasten cap to wall and
caulk well.
b.) Roof Cap Discharge; (FIG. 8) Cut a hole in roof slightly larger
than duct size being used. Run ductwork down to hood location.
Leave 3/4" of duct projecting above roof surface on high side.
Trim duct parallel to roof pitch and seal all around duct with roof
cement.
Carefully trim shingles and slide back of roof sheet under shingles.
Nail roof sheet to roof under shingles at top two corners and two
sides. Nail sheet directly to roof in four places at bottom.
Using roof cement, seal all nail heads and shingles which were cut or
lifted. Do not seal bottom edge of roof sheet.

FILTERS
F30WV Hood Only:
Remove aluminum filter by turning filter retainer to one side.
(FIG. 13) Filter should be washed once a month in a hot deter-
gent solution. Aluminum filters are dishwasher safe. When in-
stalling filter, make sure that filter slides under retaining tabs on
back of fan housing. Turn filter retainer so that arrows on re-
tainer point toward front and back of hood.
F24WR & F30WR Hoods Only:
The F24WR AND F30WR hoods are equipped with a ductfree
filter. Remove filter by turning filter retainer to one side. (FIG. 13)
The ductfree filter is not washable, and will last up to twelve months
with normal use. Replace the filter when colored side becomes
noticeably dirty or discolored.
When installing filter, make sure that filter slides under retain-
ing tabs on back of fan housing. MAKE SURE THAT COLORED
SIDE OF FILTER IS NEXT TO FAN WHEN FILTER IS IN-
STALLED. Turn filter retainer so that arrows on retainer point
toward front and back of hood.
WARNING
IALWAYS DISCONNECT ELECTRIC POWER BEFORE ISERVICING RANGE HOOD.
FAN ASSEMBLY
Remove filter. Remove two screws holding motor bracket to
range hood, and unplug fan assembly. Be careful not to allow
fan assembly to drop when screws are removed. (FIG. 14)
CLEANING
Clean your hood with a mild detergent suitable for painted sur-
faces. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTH, STEEL WOOL PADS
OR SCOURING POWDERS.
Fan assembly may be vacuumed. Fan assembly is permanently
lubricated, and never needs oiling.
HOW TO AVOID A COMMON RANGE-TOP GREASE FIRE
•Your range hood provides a protective barrier between the
cooking surface and the cabinets.
• Keep fan, filters and grease laden surfaces CLEAN ac-
cording to instructions.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat to keep
the cooking area and the hood cooler.
• Use high heat settings only when necessary.
• Never leave cooking surface unattended. Boil-over causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Always use adequate-sized utensils.
• If preparing flaming foods, such as Cherries Jubilee, always
turn hood ON to HIGH to prevent a high heat situation which
can cause damage or fire.
HOW TO EXTINGUISH A COMMON RANGE-TOP GREASE
FIRE
• Never pick up a flaming pan. If dropped, flames can spread
quickly.
• DO NOT USE WATER! A violent steam explosion may
result. Wet dishcloths or towels are also dangerous.
• Smother flames with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal
tray.
• Flaming grease can also be extinguished with baking soda
or a multi-purpose dry chemical extinguisher.
• Turn off surface units - if you can do so without getting
burned.
