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 Flambe’).
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

FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn o the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.

Installation Instructions
Mounting Height, Clearance, & Ducting
A minimum 3-1/4”x10” rectangular duct for either vertical ducting or horizontal ducting must be used
to maintain maximum air flow eciency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%.
Use calculation worksheet to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions, and
caps.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number of transitions and turns. If a long duct run is required,
increase duct size.
If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from duct opening and as far apart between
the two transitions as possible.
Breeze I: Minimum mount height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 20” for
electric cook tops and 24” for gas cook tops. Maximum mount height should be no higher than 32”.
Breeze II: Minimum mount height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 24”
Maximum mount height should be no higher than 32”.
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result
in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose
performance and eciency.
If available, also refer to range manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended
hood mounting height above range. Always check your local codes for any dierences.
For shipment and installation damages:
ŹPlease fully inspect unit for damage before installation.
ŹIf the unit is damaged in shipment, return the unit to the store in which it was bought for repair or
replacement.
ŹIf the unit is damaged by the customer, repair or replacement is the responsibility of the customer.
ŹIf the unit is damaged by the installer (if other than the customer), repair of replacement must be
made by arrangement between customer and installer.
