DUCT FITTINGS:

This Hood Must Use an 6" Round Duct. It Can Transition to 3-1/4" x 10" or 3-1/4" x 12" Duct.

Use this chart to compute maximum permissible lengths for duct runs to outdoors.

NOTE: Do not exceed maximum permissible equivalent lengths!

Maximum duct length: 100 feet for range ho-ods.

Flexible ducting:

If flexible metal ducting is used, all the equivalent feet values in the table should be doubled. The flexible metal duct should be straight and smooth and extended as much as possible.

DO NOT use flexible plastic ducting.

NOTE: Any home ventilation system, such as a ventilation hood, may interrupt the proper flow of combustion air and exhaust required by fireplaces, gas furnaces, gas water heaters and other naturally vented systems. To minimize the chance of interruption of such naturally vented systems, follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guidelines and safety standards such as those published by NFPA and ASHRAE.

WARNING

TO RUDUCE THE RICK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURE TO PERSONS, PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWINGS:

1. Installation work and electric wiring (including switch location) must be done by the qualified person(s) in accordance with local applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
2. This hood may have sharp edges. Be careful to avoid cuts and abrasions during installation and cleaning.
3. The hood must be placed at a minimum distance of 26" and a maximum of 32" from the cooktop for best capture of cooking impurities and a minimum distance of 28" from gas range.
4. Provide sufficient air for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the chimney of the 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 Engineer (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
5. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
6. This appliance is design to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to temper with the controls or play with this appliance.
7. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
8. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
9. 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.
10. Use this unit only in the manner intended by manufacturer. If you have questions, please contact the manufacturer or local agent.
11. This unit must be grounded.

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

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1. 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.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, and Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
4. 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:

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 or spread the fire.
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.

CAUTION

1. For indoor use only.
2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impeller, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc., off power unit.
4. Your hood motor has a thermal fuse which will automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated.
5. The hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 26" and at a maximum of 32" above cooktop for

best capture of cooking impurities.

1. This hood is not intended to be used as a shelf.
2. Please read specification for further information and requirements.

NOTE: If hood is to be installed non-ducted, buy a set of (2) non-ducted filters from your local retailer and attach them to the aluminum mesh filters.

INSTALLATION & USE

NOTE: on the stainless steel hoods, carefully remove the plastic protective film from exterior of the surfaces of the hood prior to final installation.

Caution: To Reduce Risk of Fire and Electric Shock, install this range hood only with integral blowers supplied by manufacturer.

DESCRIPTION / CONNECTION

This appliance may be installed in ducted version or non-ducted version. Use proper installation template, for replacement of ductwork and electrical cutout in cabinet or wall. For a non-ducted version installation, do not cut a duct access hole.

DUCTED VERSION

The hood discharge kitchen air saturated with odor and fume passes it through the grease filters and expels it to the outside through an outlet pipe. With this version the charcoal filters are not required.

1. Determine whether the hood will discharge vertically (3 1/4"×10" or 6" round) or horizontally (3 1/4"×10" only). For vertical or horizontal discharge, run ductwork between the hood location and a roof cap or wall cap. For best results, use a minimum number of transitions and elbows.

** Duct and roof cap/wall cap are not supplied.

Warning: to avoid the risk of fire, use only the metal ductwork.

NON-DUCTED VERSION

1. No need of plastic or metal duct.

CABINET 26"-32" ABOVE COOKING SURFACE HOOD HOUSE WIRING

1. Must be installed charcoal filter on the hood.

NOTE: Buy a set of (2) non-ducted filters from your local retailer and attach them to the aluminum mesh filters.

MAINTENTANCE & CLEAN

Caution: Unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing.

GREASE FILTER

* The grease filters should be cleaned frequently (every two months of operation, or more frequently for heavy use). Use a warm detergent solution.

^A Grease filters are washable.

Remove the grease filters from the hood. Wash the filters, taking care not to bend them. Allow them to be dry before refitting.

When refitting the filters, make sure that the handle is visible from the outside.

Reinstall the grease filters to the hood.

RECIRCULATION CHARCOAL FILTER (FILTERING VERSION)

This charcoal filter is not washable, can not be regenerated, and should be replaced approximately every 3 months of operation, or more frequently in the case of heavy usage.

HOOD CLEANING

Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help preserve its fine appearance.

Cleaning tips:

* Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.

* Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.

^A For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.

* For stubborn cases use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure that may mar the surface.

* Do not allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.

* Do not use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface causing rust.

* Do not allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals that may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

* Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
