Important Safety Notice
Read all Instructions before Installing and operating this appliance
• The installation instructions in this guide are intended for qualified installers, service technicians or persons
with similar qualified background.
• Installation and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified professional and in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including for fire-rated construction.
• The range hood may have very sharp edges; please wear protective gloves if it is necessary to remove any
parts for installing, cleaning or servicing.
• Activating any switch ON before completing installation may cause ignition or an explosion.
•Due to the size and weight of this range hood, it is recommended that two people handle the installation.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:
•This range hood is for general ventilating use only. DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials
or vapors.
•Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power to OFF at the electric panel and lock it to prevent power
from being switched ON accidentally.
•Clean grease-laden surfaces frequently; to reduce the risk of fire and to disperse air properly, make sure to
vent air to the outside. DO NOT vent exhaust into spaces between walls or crawl spaces, or into ceiling, attic or
garage.
•ALWAYS vent ducted fans to the outside.
•Use only metal ductwork. ALWAYS ground the unit.
•To prevent back drafting, ensure there is sufficient air for proper combustion and exhausting of gases
through the duct.
•When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, take care not to damage electrical wiring or other hidden
utilities.
•Ensure that all electrical wiring is properly installed, insulated and grounded.
•Clean old duct work or replace it if necessary to avoid the possibility of a fire due to old accumulations of
grease.
•Check all joints on duct work to ensure proper connections. Tape all joints properly.
•Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact LUX.
To reduce the risk of a stove-top grease fire:
• Keep fan, filers, exhaust duct, grease container and grease-laden surfaces clean; grease should not be
allowed to accumulate anywhere in the range hood.
• Always turn range hood ON when cooking, especially when cooking at high heat or with an open flame.
• Use the highest heat settings only when necessary.
• Never leave the cooking surface unattended at a high setting; boiling liquids cause smoke and grease may
ignite; heat cooking oils slowly on low or medium settings.
