GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions

should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,

electric shock and injury to person, including the following:

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND INJURY TO PERSON, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Read all instructions before installing or using range hood.
2. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
3. Before servicing or cleaning the 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.
4. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-related construction.
5. Sufficient air is needed for proper 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.

CAUTION: FOR GENERAL VENTILATING USE ONLY. DO NOT USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS AND VAPORS.

1. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE 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.

1. This unit must be grounded.
2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS FAN WITH ANY SOLID-STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE.

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 flambéing food (ie. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan filter.
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:

a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off 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:

I. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
II. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
III. The fire department is being called.
IV. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Unpack hood from the carton and confirm that all pieces are present. In addition to the range hood you should have:

1 - Aluminum Grease Filter
1 - 3-1/4"x 10" Damper
3 - Damper Mounting Screws
4 - #8 Mounting Screws
1 - Instruction/Safety Sheet

1. Lay the hood flat on a table so the underside is facing you. Use a piece of cardboard to avoid damaging the table or the hood.

2. Remove wire compartment cover screw and then lamp cover by squeezing the two tabs together (Figure 1).

Tabs Screw Figure 1

1. Install a 60 watt maximum type A19 bulb and reinstall the lamp cover.

Prepare the location for Hood Support

1. If the hood will be installed under cabinets that have a recessed bottom, it will be necessary to install wood mounting strips (not included) so the hood will mount properly (Figure 2).

Wood Strip Figure 2

1. The thickness of the strips should be the same as the recess of the cabinet and they should be approximately 2" wide.
2. Install the strips using appropriate length wood screws (not included). Make sure the strips line up to the keyhole slots of the range hood.

Prepare the Hood for Installation

1. Choose the type of ducting you will require. This model is equipped to vent either Vertically or Horizontally through a 3-1/4" x 10" duct. It can be modified to be ductless (re-circulates the air back into the kitchen) with the addition of a model RF34 Charcoal Filter (not

included) or vented through a 7" round duct with the addition of a model E-22a or RDC7 Duct Collar (not included) (Figure 3).

Vertical Horizontal Ductless Figure 3

2a. Horizontal or Vertical - Remove the square knockout by inserting a screw driver under the edge and break the tabs holding it in place. Peel back with pliers (Figure 4).

Horizontal Vertical Ductless Figure 4

2b. Ductless - Remove the hood's front louver cover, exposing the front air slots. To remove louver slide to one side and lift the trailing edge. Do not use a screwdriver or any other object that could scratch the hood (Figure 4).
2c. 7" Round - Remove the round knockout located on the top of the hood by inserting a screw driver under the edge and break the tabs holding it in place. Peel back with pliers (Figure 4).
3. Determine where the electrical service will enter the hood and remove the appropriate electrical knockout by inserting a screw driver into the slot and rocking back and forth until the knockout comes loose (Figure 4).

CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.

Installing the Range Hood

1. Once the proper knockout(s) have been removed, either hold the hood up to the installation location and mark the locations of the ducting, electrical, and mounting holes or mark the locations by measurement.
2. Cut appropriate holes for ducting connection and electrical connection in the wall/cabinet.
3. For 3-1/4" x 10" vertical or horizontal ducting, install the damper assembly to the hood by sliding the tabbed section of the damper under the hood body and securing with the two provided screws. For 7" round ducting, secure either a model E-22A or RCD7 Duct Collar (not included) to the hood with the three provided screws (Figure 5).

Hood Body Damper Tab Figure 5 E-22A/RCD7

1. Install an approved wire connector to the electrical knockout of the hood and guide the electrical cable through the hood, allowing at least 6" of wire for connections and tighten.

NOTE: If installing into existing construction and you will not have access to the ductwork once the hood is in place, make ducting connections at this point. Refer to the Ducting Section for instructions.

1. Install the 4 mounting screw at the previously marked locations. Leave approximately 1/8" clearance. Slide the hood in place through the keyhole slots and align the front of the hood so that it is flush with the front of the cabinets. Tighten all screws securely (Figure 6).

Ducting

CAUTION: ALL DUCTING MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL BUILDING CODES.

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

1. Connect the ducting to the hood's duct collar and damper. Secure in place using tape to seal all joints (Figure 8).

Figure 8

CAUTION: ALWAYS DUCT THE FAN TO THE OUTSIDE THROUGH A WALL OR ROOF CAP.

Finishing the Installation

1. Install the appropriate filters, sliding the back side of the filter into the tab and pressing the front of the filter into place (Figure 9).

Figure 9

1. Turn switches to the "OFF" position and restore power. Test that the light and the fan are operating properly.
2. If there is any vibration noise, check for the source and try to tighten fasteners or adjust the tape to make a tighter connection or seal.

Operation

Controls

Your Range Hood is equipped with two rocker style switches with one controlling the lighting and the other controlling the exhaust fan. The light switch has two positions, ON (●) and OFF (○). The fan is a three position switch, HIGH (●●), LOW (●), and OFF. OFF is the middle position of the switch.

Maintenance

CAUTION: MAKE SURE POWER IS SWITCHED OFF AT SERVICE PANEL BEFORE SERVICING THE UNIT.

Filters

1. Grease Filter - Included with your range hood is an aluminum grease filter that should be washed in hot water with detergent

once a month. Reverse the instructions in the "Finishing the Installation" section of the instructions to remove filter. If the grease filter becomes damaged, replace with Air King Model RF35 Grease Filter.

1. Charcoal Odor Filter - If you have installed an optional charcoal odor filter or a combination grease/charcoal filter, they cannot be washed and must be discarded and replaced when they become noticeably dirty, have stopped filtering the odors, or at least once per year. Replace with Air King Model RF34 Odor Filter or Model RF55 Combination Odor/Grease Filter.

Cleaning

CAUTION: DO NOT USE GASOLINE, BENZINE, THINNER, HARSH CLEANSERS, ETC., AS THEY MAY DAMAGE THE RANGE HOOD.

1. Clean your range hood with a mild detergent, such as dishwashing liquid, and dry with a soft cloth. NEVER USE ANY ABRASIVE PADS OR SCOURING POWDERS. Completely dry before restoring power. NEVER IMMERSE ELECTRICAL PARTS IN WATER.
