2. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3. The fire department is being called.
4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit

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 fi re-rated construction.
b. Sufficient air is needed for power 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 wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
d. Ducted fans must always vent to the outdoors.
e. NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
f. Make sure the power is off before installing, wiring or maintaining.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.

CAUTION

To reduce risk of fi re and to properly exhaust air outside - Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.

OPERATION

Always leave safety grilles and fi lters in place. Without these components, operating blowers could catch onto hair, fi ngers and loose clothing.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of failure to observe the instructions given here for installation, maintenance and suitable use of the product.

Maximum Duct Length: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length should not exceed 100 equivalent feet.

DUCTING

A minimum of 7" round or 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular duct must be used to maintain maximum air flow efficiency.

Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%.

Also use calculation (on page 5) to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions and caps.

ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If long duct run is required, increase duct size from 7" to 8".

If turns or transitions are required; install as far away from hood duct output and as far apart, between the two as possible.

Minimum mounting height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 24".

Maximum mounting 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 lose its performance and efficiency.

If available, also refer range manufacturer's height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting height above range.

Vertical

Ducting:

7" round minimum or

3-1/4" x 10" rectangular minimum

Horizontal

Ducting:

3-1/4"x10" rectangular minimum

DAMAGE-SHIPMENT / INSTALLATION:

• Please fully inspect unit for damage before installation.
• If the unit is damaged in shipment, return the unit to the store in which it was bought for repair or replacement.
• If the unit is damaged by the customer, repair or replacement is the responsibility of the customer.
• If the unit is damaged by the installer (if other than the customer), repair of replacement must be made by arrangement between customer and installer.

WARNING FIRE HAZARD

NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.

Use metal ductwork only.

Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certifi ed Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
