!WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.
• Before servicing or cleaning 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.
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
• 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), and
the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the
local code authorities.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
• Do not use this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
• This unit must be grounded.
• When installing, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.
• When applicable local regulations comprise more restrictive installation and/or certification
requirements, the aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this document and the installer
agrees to conform to these at his own expense.

!CAUTION
!• For indoor residential use only.
• 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 or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
• Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.
• Avoid using food products that produce flames under the Range Hood.
• For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
• To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray,
construction dust, etc. off power unit.
• Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the motor if it becomes
overheated. The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart,
have the hood serviced.
• The bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 24” and recommended at a maximum of 30” above
the cooktop for best capture of cooking impurities.
• Use only with range hood cord connection kits that have been investigated and found acceptable for
use with this model range hood.
• Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.
!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 at high heat or when flambeing 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.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:*
1. 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.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - violent steam explosion will result.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
(DUCTED INSTALLATION ONLY)
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and
the outside. (FIG. 1)
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the unit to perform most
efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the
performance of the unit. Use as few of them as possible.
Larger ducting may be required for best performance with
longer duct runs.
4. Install wall cap or roof cap (sold separately). Connect metal
ductwork to cap and work back towards the unit location.
Use 2” metal foil duct tape to seal the joints between
ductwork sections.

OPTIONAL LINERS
For installations where the unit unit is less than 30” above
cooktop, this powerpack insert should be mounted into a metal
liner (FIG. 2) to protect cabinetry combustible material from
heat, in order to meet building code requirements. This will
allow easier cleaning and provide protection to the cabinetry.
Refer to table at right to find the liner model corresponding to
the cabinet style and width.

PREPARE THE CABINET
WARNING
The cabinet must be secured to wall studs or other
wooden framework behind the drywall to support
the weight of this unit. Failure to do so may cause
personal injury or damage to countertop or cooktop.
NOTES: A. The unit has to be installed inside the cabinet. If
installing with one of the optional liners, use it as
a template to cut the hole in the bottom of the
cabinet.
B. The unit should be mounted centered laterally
over the cooktop burners.
C. For back to front position, the unit must be
mounted according to local building codes.
1. Cut a hole in the bottom of the cabinet, using the
dimensions shown (FIG. 7), or use the optional liner as a
template.
2. Where needed, install the metal liner.
3. Measure the remaining material of the cabinet bottom sides
(C), (FIG. 8) if it is 1/4” or more, there is no need to use
the cabinet brackets. Go to step 8 on page 9.
4. When there is less than 1/4” remaining material (C),
carefully remove those strips. Measure the cabinet inner
width (D) (FIG. 8). Refer to the table below to see which
cabinet bracket edge configuration must be used.
5. Pay attention to the Ease of Install hooks location on the
unit (distance given from unit front flange, FIG. 9). Measure
and mark the position of the Ease of Install hooks (shown
as Ein FIG. 10 on next page) on both cabinet side walls.
