applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
2) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage electrical wiring or other hidden
utilities.
3) Ducted fans must be vented to the outside.
a) Before servicing or cleaning unit, open the light panel and SWITCH POWER OFF AT SERVICE
PANEL.
b) Clean all grease laden surfaces frequently. To reduce the risk of fire and to disperse air
properly, make sure to vent air outside. DO NOT vent exhaust air into wall spaces, attics, crawl
spaces or garages.

What to Do In The Event Of a Range Top Grease Fire
•SMOTHER FLAMES with a tight fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, and then turn off the burner.
KEEP FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM FLAMES. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE THEAREAAND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT or 911.
•NEVER PICK UPA BURNING PAN –You May Get Burned.
•DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels –a violent steam blast will result.
•Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
a) You have a Class A, B, C extinguisher and know how to operate it.
b) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
c) The fire department has been called.
d) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
What to Do If You Smell Gas
- Extinguish any open flame.
- Do not try to turn on the lights or any type of appliance.
- Open all doors and windows to disperse the gas. If you still smell gas, call the Gas Company and
Fire Department right away.
CAUTION
1) For general ventilation use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and
vapors.
2) To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion
and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) to prevent back drafting.
3) 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 andAir Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and code authorities.
4) Activating any switch on may cause ignition or an explosion.
5) Due to the size and weight of this hood, two people installation is recommended.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD –Can result in serious injury or
death. Disconnect appliance from electric power before servicing.
If equipped, the fluorescent light bulb contains small amounts of
mercury, which must be recycled or disposed of according to

- A straight, short venting run will allow the hood
to perform more efficiently.
- Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and
long run as possible. This may reduce the
performance of the hood.
- Use duct tape to seal the joints between pipe
sections.
- Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper
operation before installing.
- If necessary, prepare back wall frame with
cross framing lumber for secure installation.
Using references on Table 1 and the
measurements on pages 11-12, decide the
level of the lumber. Refer to Figure 2.
- Peel protective film off the duct cover and the
hood (if any).

MAINTENANCE
SAFETY WARNING

To Clean Hood Surface
CAUTION: NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, PADS, OR CLOTHS. DO NOT USE
PAPER TOWEL ON STAINLESS STEEL.
For optimal operation, clean range hood and all baffle/spacer/filter/oil tunnel/oil container regularly.
*** Regular care will help preserve the appearance of the hood.
1. Use only mild soap or detergent solutions. Dry surfaces using soft cloth.
2. If hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface
of the hood. Avoid getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions of
the stainless steel cleaner. Caution: Do not leave on too long as this may cause damage to
hood finish. Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rub off any stubborn spots.
Use dry soft towel to dry the hood.
3. DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.
4. DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface
and cause rusting.
5. DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in
contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals,
which may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean lint free cloth.
To Clean Baffle Filter/Oil Tunnel
CAUTION: DRAIN OIL FROM BAFFLE FILTERS, SPACERS & OIL TUNNEL REGULARLY TO
PREVENT OVERFLOW.
1. Remove all the baffle filters, spacers and oil tunnel.
