RANGE HOOD SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
m Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer.
m Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at
service panel and lock the service disconnecting means 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.
m Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-rated construction.
m 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.
m When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling; do not damage
electrical wiring and other utilities.
m Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.
CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use
to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
CAUTION: 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, attics or into 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 hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flamb6).
[] Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
[] Use proper pan size. 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: a
[] 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.

installer's responsibility to comply with installation clearances
specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating
plate is located behind the left filter 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 "Electrical
Requirements" section.
The range hood is factory set for vented installations through the
roof or wall. For non-vented (recirculating) installations see "Non-
Vented (recirculating) Installation Through the Soffit/Cabinet" in
the "Prepare Location" section. Recirculation Kit Part Number

distributor.
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) ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A*, or latest edition, or with local

• Vent system must terminate to the outside, except for non-
vented (recirculating) installations.
• Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed
area.
• Do not use a 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
• Use a metal vent only. A rigid metal vent is recommended.
Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
• The length of vent system and number of elbows should be
kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
• Use no more than three 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61.0 cm) of straight
vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
Do not install 2 elbows together.
The vent 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 clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the
cap.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
Cold weather installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold air flow and athermal 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.
Makeup air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems
when using ventilation systems with 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.

Venting Methods
This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or
through the wall.
The vent system needed for installation is not included.
A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is recommended.

Calculate Vent System Length
The recommended vent system is 6" (15.2 cm) round vent with a
maximum length of 26 ft (8 m). For the best performance, use no
more than three 90° elbows.
To calculate the length of the system, add the equivalent feet
(meters) for each of the vent pieces used in the system.

If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the
outside, the range hood can be used in the non-vented
(recirculating) version, using an activated carbon filter.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
It is recommended that the vent system be installed before the
range hood is installed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling or wall for vent fittings.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or non-
vented.
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood. Place
covering over that surface.
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
range hood.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
4. Using 2 or more people, lift range hood onto covered surface.
