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 range hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e.: Crèpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts.
d) 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.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels — This could cause a violent steam explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department has been 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 impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.
4. 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.
5. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be at a minimum of 18^ and at a maximum of 24^ above the cooking surface.
6. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside — Donot exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics, crawl space or garage.
7. When installing, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.
8. Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

IMPORTANT

TOOLS AND MATERIAL REQUIRED

TOOLS

Drill
Flat blade and Phillips screwdriv
14" Spade bit
Tape measure or ruler and pencil
Pliers

For ducted installations ONLY:

Saber saw
Metal snips

MATERIALS

Electrical wiring and supplies of type to comply with local codes
Roof or wall cap
Roof cement or caulk

For installation on kitchen cabinets with recess bottoms only:

Two 1^ × 2^ × 12^ (approximate length) wood strips (purchase locally)
Four 1 14 long flat heat wood screws (purchase locally) to fasten strips to cabinet bottom

PLANNING DUCTWORK INSTALLATION

Begin planning ductwork by deciding where the duct will run between the range hood and the outside. For best performance, use the shortest possible duct run and a minimum number of elbows. There are several choices shown - FIGS. 1A - 1F.

If needed, a 314 x 10" rectangular ducting range hood can be converted to a round duct by means of a transition.
FIG. 1A. Ducting directly through the wall (for range hoods mounted on an exterior wall). Shown are two ways to duct through an outside wall. If a wall cap is used directly off the back of the hood, special care must be taken to make sure that the damper in the damper/duct connector on the hood and damper in the wall cap do not interfere with each other when the hood is operating. This could result in either inadequate air delivery or back drafts. If this condition does exist, remove the hood damper flap. Sometimes when using a wall cap it is easier to duct vertically and then use an elbow as shown in FIG. 1B.
FIG. 1C. Ducting straight up through the roof using 314 × 10^ rectangular duct. (For single story installations.)
FIG. 1D. Ducting between the ceiling joists (for multi-story installations) or through the soffit space above the cabinets (where the soffit connects to an outside wall).
FIG. 1E. Straight up through the roof using 3 14 x 10" to 6" round duct transition and 6" round duct (for single-story installations).
FIG. 1F. Straight up through the roof using 7^ round duct (for single-story installations, 7^ round adapter plate not included, part number SR680508).

PREPARING THE RANGE HOOD

1. Unpack hood and check contents. You should have:

1 - Aluminum filter

1 - 3¼" x 10" Damper/duct connector (mounted inside of hood for shipping only) (save the screws)

1. Remove wiring box cover. Under cover find the parts bag containing loose hardware.

For non-ducted installation only

1. For non-ducted installation, remove grille cover from front (or inside) of hood. (FIG. 3)

NOTE

The grille on front of hood must be open and visible for hood to function in non-ducted mode.

1. Remove either top or rear electrical knockout depending upon whether wiring will enter hood from wall or cabinet. (FIG. 4)

DUCTED INSTALLATION ONLY

NOTE

The grille cover must be installed as shown in FIG. 3 to function in ducted mode.

1. Remove appropriate duct knockout on hood by inserting screwdriver into edge of knockout and breaking tabs holding knockout to hood. You may have to tap screwdriver with hammer to break tabs. Peel knockout back with pliers. (FIG. 5)
2. Fit damper/duct connector over opening and secure in place with black sheet metal screws. (FIG. 6)

Hinge pins and damper/duct connector should be toward top of hood for ducting through wall or toward back of hood for ducting through cabinet above hood. Seal joint between damper/duct connector and hood with duct tape.

1. 7^ round ducted discharge only: Purchase separately the 7^ round duct plate (part no. SR680508). For best performance, line up the 7^ round duct plate with the 7^ round opening on hood. Mount duct plate to hood with 2 screws included with duct plate and 2 screws from 314'' × 10'' damper (1 screw per side). Install a 7^ round damper (purchase separately). Damper flap must open freely in direction of air flow (away from range hood).

PREPARING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

NOTE

MOUNT HOOD SO THAT BOTTOM OF HOOD IS 18"-24" ABOVE COOKING SURFACE. TOP FRONT EDGE OF HOOD SHOULD BE FLUSH WITH FRONT OF CABINET FRAME. IF DISTANCE BETWEEN WALL AND FRONT OF CABINET FRAME IS MORE THAN 12" THERE WILL BE A SPACE BETWEEN BACK OF HOOD AND WALL. THIS IS NORMAL.

OMIT STEP 8 if range hood will be installed under cabinets with flush bottom.

1. (For installation on recessed bottom cabinets only.) Attach a wood filler strip at each side of recessed area under cabinet. (Use two 1'' × 2'' strips cut to length.) If recess is more than 1'' use thicker strips. Attach strips with 114 screws about 3'' from each end. See FIG. 7.
2. Measure and mark the following (FIGS. 7 & 8):

a) Electrical line opening

bDuct opening
10. Drill four pilot holes in corners of marked duct opening as shown and cut opening with saber saw or keyhole saw.
11. Use 1 14 drill bit to drill opening for electrical connection in wall or cabinet.
12.Hold hood up against cabinet bottom and trace keyhole slots onto cabinet bottom or filler strips.
13. Screw the four supplied 7/8'' wood screws for mounting the hood into the exact center of the narrow end of the keyhole slots marked underneath the cabinet. Allow 3/8'' of the screws to project, so the hood can be fitted into place.

INSTALLING THE DUCTWORK

NOTE

THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL FOLLOW THE PLANS MADE ON PAGE 3. START AT THE EXTERIOR AND RUN THE DUCT BACK TO THE RANGE HOOD. FOR BEST PERFORMANCE OF YOUR RANGE HOOD, USE THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE DUCT RUN AND A MINIMUM NUMBER OF ELBOWS. NEVER VENT A RANGE HOOD INTO AN ATTIC SPACE BECAUSE A BUILDUP OF GREASE WILL BECOME A FIRE HAZARD.

USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK (DO NOT USE PLASTIC DUCT). ASSEMBLE SECURELY SO THAT IN CASE OF A GREASE FIRE ON THE RANGE, THE FIRE WILL BE CONTAINED INSIDE METAL DUCT WORK. IT IS A GOOD PRACTICE TO TAPE WITH METAL DUCT TAPE ALL DUCT CONNECTIONS, MAKING THEM BOTH SECURE AND AIR TIGHT.

1. Follow appropriate directions below for type of ductwork you are installing:

WALL CAP (FIG. 9)

Use a saber saw to cut a hole slightly larger than duct so duct will line up easily with hood. Install casing strips on outside walls finished in siding. Assemble the duct work and tape all joints. Run duct work back to hood. Fasten wall cap to last section of duct and nail or screw cap to wall. Seal all around flange on wall cap with caulking compound for exterior use. Make sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the duct will overlap the damper/duct connector by 3 / 4 when the hood is installed.

ROOF CAP

Cut hole in roof slightly larger than duct so duct will line up easily with hood. Trim shingles around hole so that they will fit snugly around hood of cap when cap is installed. Assemble the ductwork and tape all joints. Run the ductwork down to hood. Trim duct parallel to roof pitch, leaving 3/4 of duct projecting above roof. Seal all around duct with roof cement. Install roof cap, inserting back edge of cap under shingles. Seal around cap with roof cement and seal all nail heads and shingles which were cut or lifted.

Make sure that enough duct runs into the room so that the duct will overlap the damper/duct connector by 3 / 4 when the hood is put into place.

INSTALLING THE RANGE HOOD

1. Bring electrical cable through access hole drilled in wall or bottom of cabinet. Provide 6" wire leads and install proper connector for type of cable being used. Remove lock nut from connector and let prepared cable project through cabinet or wall opening so it is ready for installation into range hood. (FIG. 10)
2. Position hood in place so that:

a) Electrical line is routed through appropriate knockout opening. This step will have to be accomplished while positioning hood. (FIG. 11)
b) Large part of keyhole mounting slots on hood fit onto hood mounting screws projecting from bottom of cabinet. (FIG. 11)
c) Damper/duct connector slides into duct work in wall or cabinet.

1. Adjust hood so the front of hood is flush with cabinet front.
2. Tighten the four hood mounting screws securely.

3. Install locknut on electrical connector and tighten securely.
   20.Make electrical connection using wire nuts to connect WHITE wire to WHITE, BLACK wire to BLACK, and GREEN or bare wire to GREEN ground screw provided. (FIG. 12)

4. Replace wiring box cover and screw, taking care not to pinch wires.

NOTE

For non-ducted installations only:

Discard the aluminum filter and replace with a non-ducted filter (purchase separately, model 41F). Make sure that blue side of non-ducted filter is next to blade.

USE AND CARE

SWITCHES

The fan and light are each controlled by a rocker switch. The light switch has two positions, "ON" and "OFF". The fan switch has three positions - "HIGH", "LOW" and "OFF" ("OFF" is the middle position).

CLEANING

Keep your range hood clean using a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces.

The aluminum filter should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm dishwashing detergent solution.

Clean all-metal filter using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filter may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions - but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty. To minimize or prevent discoloration, hand wash filter using a mild detergent.

FILTER REMOVAL

Remove filter by turning filter clip to the side and lifting filter out. In ducted version, turn filter retaining clip to one side and place aluminum filter over embossed retaining tabs on back of fan housing. Turn filter clip so that the low end of clip holds single filter firmly in place. (FIG. 13)

In non-ducted version, place non-ducted filter (non-ducted filter to be purchase separately, model 41F) over tabs on back of fan housing. Turn filter retaining clip so that high end holds filter firmly in place. Make sure blue side of non-ducted filter is next to fan blade.

NOTE: Make sure that arrows on filter retaining clip point toward back and front of hood.

LED LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

LED light bulb (not supplied with hood) should be A19 type, E26 base, 15 watts maximum. The lens covering bulb is removed by pressing the two extending tabs together until they release from the retaining slots.

(FIG. 14)

FAN ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

Be sure power is disconnected. Remove filter. Remove both screws holding the motor bracket to the range hood and unplug the fan assembly. Be careful not to allow fan assembly to drop when the screws are removed. (FIG. 15).
