*Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
A. 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.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking on high heat or when
flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn
Beef Flambé).
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on fan or filter.
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the
size of the surface element.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction.
B. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to
prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those pub-
lished by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities. When appli-
cable, install any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance
with local building code requirements.
C. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage elec-
trical wiring and other hidden utilities.
D. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
E. There should be adequate ventilation of the room when the
range hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or
other fuels.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND TO PROP-
ERLY EXHAUST AIR, BE SURE TO DUCT AIR OUTSIDE—DO NOT
VENT EXHAUST AIR INTO SPACES WITHIN WALLS OR CEILINGS
OR INTO ATTICS, CRAWL SPACES OR GARAGES. DO NOT VENT
EXHAUST AIR INTO A FLUE THAT IS USED FOR EXHAUSTING
FUMES FROM APPLIANCES BURNING GAS OR OTHER FUELS.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL
DUCTWORK.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your hood un-
less it is specifically recommended in this guide. All other servic-
ing should be referred to a qualified technician.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY
INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
using the hood controls
control knobs
1. FAN Control Turn to HI, MED or LO as needed.
Continuous use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the
kitchen comfortable and less humid. It also reduces cooking odors
and soiling moisture that create a frequent need for cleaning.
2. LIGHT Control
Turn to ON while cooking or to NITE for use as a night light.
reusable metal grease filter—ducted installations
only
The efficiency of your hood depends on a clean filter. Frequency of
cleaning depends on hood use and the type of cooking you do.
However, the grease filter should be cleaned at least once a
month.
To remove: Pull down on the center of the front edge of the filter.
The filter will then slip out of the retaining tabs on the back.
To replace: Slip the back edge of the filter into the retaining tabs
and push the front edge up until it snaps into place.

Replaceable charcoal filter
Grease filter
To clean: Soak and then agitate it in a hot water and detergent so-
lution. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse,
shake and let it dry before replacing.
NEVER OPERATE THE HOOD WITHOUT THE FILTER IN PLACE.
With careful handling, the metal filter will last for years. If a new re-
placement filter becomes necessary, order the part from your dealer.
charcoal filter—recirculating installations only
The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order fil-
ter no. WB02X10700.
If the hood is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated
through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and
odors.
The charcoal filter should be replaced after 6 to 12 months (depend-
ing on hood usage).
To remove: Pull down on the center of the front edge of the filter.
The filter will then slip out of the retaining tabs on the back.
To replace: Slip the back edge of the filter into the retaining tabs
and push the front edge up until it snaps into place.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put
charcoal filters in an automatic
dishwasher.
painted surfaces
Do not use steel-wool pads or other abrasive cleaners. They will
scratch the surface.
Clean grease-laden surfaces of the hood frequently. To clean the
hood surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable
for painted surfaces. About one tablespoon of ammonia may be
added to the water. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap.
Dry with a dry, clean cloth.
NOTE: When cleaning, take care not to come in contact with filters
and other nonenameled surfaces.

CAUTION: When cleaning the hood surfaces, be certain that
you do not touch the light bulb with moist hands or cloth. A
warm or hot light bulb may break if touched with a moist sur-
face. Always let the light bulb cool completely before cleaning
around it.
hood light
CAUTION: Let the light bulb cool completely before remov-
ing. A warm or hot bulb may break if touched with a moist cloth
Remove the bulb and replace it with an incandescent light bulb with
an ordinary screw base, not more than 60 Watts, or a Compact
Fluorescent (CFL) light bulb with an ordinary screw base, not more

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Read the ductwork sections only if you do not have existing
ductwork. If you have existing ductwork, skip to the “Damage” sec-
tion and proceed.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND TO PROP-
ERLY EXHAUST AIR, BE SURE TO DUCT AIR OUTSIDE—DO
NOT VENT EXHAUST AIR INTO SPACES WITHIN WALLS OR
CEILINGS OR INTO ATTICS, CRAWL SPACES OR GARAGES.
The venting system must exhaust to the outside.
This hood can be vented vertically through upper cabinets or hori-
zontally through an outside wall. Ductwork is not included.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with standard 3 1/4" x
10" rectangular ducting or 7" diameter round ducting.
If a 6" round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition
adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than a 6" diameter duct.

10
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of a 3 1/4" x 10"
rectangular, 6" or 7" diameter round duct should not exceed 65
equivalent feet. See the WORKSHEET–CALCULATE TOTAL
EQUIVALENT DUCTWORK LENGTH section.
NOTE: It is important that ducting be installed using the most direct
route and with as few elbows as possible. This ensures clear venting
of exhaust and helps prevent blockages. Also, make sure dampers
swing freely and nothing is blocking the ducts. When applicable, in-
stall any makeup (replacement) air system in accordance with local
building code requirements.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc., present additional
resistance to airflow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct
longer than their actual physical size. When calculating the total
duct length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adap-
tors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The charts on the
following pages show you how to calculate total equivalent
ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent length of
some typical ducts.
* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-round transition
adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper
will have to be cut to fit using tin snips, in order to
allow free movement of the damper. Equivalent
lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and
reflect requirements for good venting performance
with any hood.

D. Recirculating
• Use the hood as a template and mark the locations on the
cabinet for ductwork and keyhole screw slots.
• Since the hood is to be recirculated (not to be vented out-
side), do not cut out any vent openings in the wall or cabinet
bottom.
CUT HOLES
Cut holes at marked locations for duct. For the vertical duct,
cut out 3/4" extra toward the front of the cabinet so you can
move the duct freely when installing the hood. It may also ease
installation by cutting the hole 10 1/2" instead of 10".
