,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
~a) Never leave surface units
unattended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers
may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
~b) Always turn the hood on when
cooking at a high heat.
~c) Clean the ventilation hood
frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on the fan or
filter.
~d) Use the proper pan size. Always
use cookware appropriate for the size
of the cooking area.
~e) Do not flambé or grill with an
open flame beneath the hood.
Flames could be drawn up into the

*Based on "Kitchen Firesafety Tips"
published by NAFTA
~Do not allow children to play with or
operate the appliance or its controls.
Supervise its use by the elderly or
infirm.
~Always turn on the hood when using
the cooktop to prevent damage from
condensation.
~Never operate gas burners without
cookware. Turn the burner off when not
in use. Adjust the burner so that the
flames do not extend beneath the
cookware. Do not overheat the
cookware, e.g. when using a wok. The
hood can be damaged due to
excessive heat from the burners and
the cookware.
~Do not use the hood without the
grease filters in place.
~Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
the hood. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.

Installation
,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
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 published by
the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and
the local code authorities.
~c) When cutting or drilling into the
wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.
~d) Ducted hoods must always be
vented to the outdoors.
~e) Do not use this hood with any
solid-state speed control device.
~f) Do not use an extension cord to
connect the appliance to electricity.
Extension cords do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance,
(e.g. danger of overheating).
~g) Do not install this hood over
cooktops that burn solid fuel.
~h) Provided a larger distance is not
given by the manufacturer of the
cooktop, follow the minimum safety
distances between a cooktop and the
bottom of the hood given in the
"Appliance dimensions" section of this
manual.
If local building codes require a greater
safety distance, follow their
requirement.
If there is more than one appliance
beneath the hood and they have
different minimum safety distances
always select the greater distance.
~i) Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue,
or room ventilating ductwork.
~j) Seek professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to an
existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.
~k) Any fittings, sealant, or materials
used to install the ductwork must be
made of approved non-flammable
materials.
,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE USE ONLY METAL
DUCTWORK.

– If several gas surfaces are installed under the hood, the total output must be
considered when determining the minimum safety distance.
–Be sure to follow the minimum safety distances given by the gas cooktop
manufacturer to easily flammable materials e.g. upper cabinets.
–If local building codes require a greater safety distance, follow their
requirement.
–If there is more than one appliance beneath the hood and they have different
minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.

The ceiling mounting plate will
support the weight of the hood. This
ceiling plate must be attached to
rigid structural framing that is
supported in its entirety by the
ceiling joists, or to the ceiling joists
directly. Do not attach the plate
directly to the ceiling with anchors,
toggle bolts, etc.
,CAUTION
When cutting or drilling into the wall
or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.

,WARNING
Danger of toxic fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.
To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, the exhaust
gases extracted by the hood
should be vented outside of the
building only.
Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings or
in attics, crawl spaces, or garages
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
Please read and follow the
"IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Follow all local building
codes when installing the hood.
Exhaust ducting and connections
Use smooth or flexible pipwork made
from approved non-flammable
materials for exhaust ducting.
To achieve the most efficient air
extraction and quietest noise levels,
consider the following:
–The diameter of the ductwork should
not be less than 6" (150 mm).
–If flat ducting is used, the cross
section must not be smaller than the
cross section of the ventilation
exhaust.
– The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible.
– Use ductwork with a wide raduis.
– The exhaust duct must not be bent
or compressed.
– Make sure all connections are
secure.
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it
must slope away from the hood at
least 1/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to
prevent condensation dripping into
the appliance.
–If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a Telescopic Wall Vent
can be used.
