To reduce the risk of fire or elecuical
shock, do not use this hood with any external
solid-state speed conuol device. Any such
alteration flom original factory wiring could
result in damage to the unit and/or create
an elecuical safety hazard.
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air outdoors. Do
not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or
ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.
_i_SkRNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,

panel to prevent power flom being switched
on accidentally. If the service panel cannot be
locked, fasten a tag or prominent warning
label to the panel.
For general ventilating use only. Do not use
to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials
or vapors.
Structural flaming, installation work and
elecuical wiring must be done by qualified
person (s), in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards including fire-rated
construction.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion
and exhausting of gases through the flue
(chimney) of tirol burning equipment to
prevent back drafting. 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, Refligerafion and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code
authorities.

Product
Dimensions
The vent hood must be installed 24" rain. and
30" max. above the cooking surface. 25-1/2" is
recommended for best venting performance
and to insure that the duct cover meets the
ceiling. The cooking surface should be at least
36" above the floor. Installation will be easier if
the vent hood is installed before the cooktop
and countertop is installed.

Plan the location
Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Use a plumb to check location to be sure
countertop/cooktop location below the hood
will align exacdy.
• The hood should project forward 1-1/2"
beyond the flont edge of the cooking
appliance. See illusuadon.
• Observe the recommended 25-1/2" space
between the cooking surface and bottom
of hood.

(continued)
• Arrange cross flatning in tile ceiling to suit
tile existing structure. See examples.
- Secure each 2 x 4 block with at least four (4),
#10 wood screws, 3" long (minimum size
screws, not supplied). Use 8 wood screws
total for tile two supports.
• The cross framing must be accurately
aligned to assure correct positioning of
the hood.
• The cross framing must be level in all
directions. Check with a spirit level and
adjust if necessary.
IMPORTAN#The ceiling structure must becapable of supporting
the weight ofthe hood(approximately 100pounds)and any
inadvertent usercontact loads. It is recommendedthat the hood
support frame be supportedby a minimum of 2x 4 cross framing.

• Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute tile
maxilnum permissible length for duct rtms
to tile outdoors.
• This vent hood must use 6" round duct. Tile
6" round duct can transition to 3-1/4" x 10"
or 3-1/4" x 12".
• Install tile house ductwork to run
horizontally between ceiling joists
or suaight tap through tile roof.
