READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU START INSTALLING THIS RANGEHOOD
WARNING: - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE: Never leave surface units unattended at
high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium setting. Always
turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flam-
bé). Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. Use proper pan size. Always
use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING: - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: 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 immedi-
ately EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be
burned.DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result. Use

ALL WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS WHERE THE RANGEHOOD IS INSTALLED MUST BE SEALED.
This rangehood requires at least 24" of clearance between the bottom of the rangehood and the cooking surface
or countertop. Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given by the manufacturer before making
any cutouts. MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION. The installation of this rangehood must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly Federal Standard
for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280). Four wire power supply must be used and
the appliance wiring must be revised. See Electrical Requirements.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION - 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".
Check which venting method is best for your application. Ductwork can extend either through the wall or the
roof. The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient
performance. The size of the ductwork should be constant. Do not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to
seal all joints in the ductwork system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or floor opening around the cap.
Flexible ductwork is not recommended. Flexible ductwork creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly
reduces performance.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making cutouts. Do not cut a joist or
stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.
