• Installation work and electrical work must be performed by qualified individuals in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire rated construction.
• Do not damage any existing electrical or hidden utilities when drilling, cutting and/or removing a wall, ceiling or floor.
• Sufficient air is required to properly exhaust gases through the flue of natural and liquid propane fueled cooking equipment to avoid any backdrafting.
  • Ducted fans must always vent outdoors.
• Use only metal ductwork. Do not use flexible or corrugated duct.
• Follow all local and national codes and standards for proper air requirements.
• Never vent ducted exhaust air into another room or garage. To reduce the risk of fire and properly vent exhaust air duct must vent outdoors.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of cooking appliance grease fire:

• Never leave the appliance unattended during use. Boil overs may occur causing spills which may ignite.
• It is recommended you purchase a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher for your home and store it in close proximity to your appliances.
• If a fire should occur do not turn on hood to evacuate smoke. Turn off hood.

IMPORTANT

This product is for general residential ventilation applications. Do not use to exhaust hazardous, flammable or explosive materials. Clean baffle filters often since accumulated grease can be a fire hazard and effect the performance of your ventilation hood. Always turn on ventilation hood when operating your cooking equipment.

Handling and Unpacking

IMPORTANT

Any damage must be reporting before installing the hood. Once the hood has been installed no return will be accepted. Report any damage to your dealer immediately.

Handling:

• Remove all watches, belt buckles, jewelry, rings and any clothing with metal buttons or snaps to prevent damage to the hood.
• When you begin the installation process remove the hood from its original packaging and place on a clean, non-abrasive blanket.
• Inspect the hood carefully for any damage or imperfections before you begin installation. If any damage or imperfections exist, repack the hood and call your dealer immediately. Do not install damaged hood. It is highly recommended that rubber gloves be worn to prevent scratches on hood and to provide a firm grip.
• When removing the hood from the carton locate the filters since they could be packed separately.
• Do not remove the hood from original packaging until you are ready to install.

Unpacking:

• Check the package for damage. If any damage is visible you should mark the bill of lading you sign that there may be concealed damage.
• Ensure the container is upright. If the container is not upright major damage can occur to your appliance. If damage is discovered do not refuse delivery Contact the dealer and file appropriate freight claims. Save all packaging material. Do not contact the manufacturer since your appliance was shipped from the dealer you purchased it from. Shipping damage claims are to be resolved between the customer, shipping carrier and dealer. The manufacturer may assist in resolving such claims, but such assistance does not relieve you of your responsibility.
• Move the container as close to its installation location as possible. This will reduce moving and handling your appliance once it is out of its shipping container.
• Do not discard packaging without first locating the filters as they may be packed separately.
• Inspect all packaging before discarding.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this ventilation unit only with remote blowers models rated maximum 8.4 amps or integral blowers manufactured by EBM, Model D2E146-HT65-14.

Your ventilation hood is designed to work specifically with the integral or remote blower requested. Hood has been evaluated for safety using the blowers listed. Use other blowers at your own risk.

Site Preparation: Selecting the Appropriate Height for Installation

In selecting the proper height to mount the hood, take into consideration the stature of the person or persons who will be cooking. A minimum height of 30" off of the cooking surface to a maximum height of 36" will suit most users. It is recommended but not required that the hood be 6" wider than the cooking appliance to provide a proper capture area for heat and grease.

The bottom of the hood should be 30" minimum to 36" maximum above the countertop. This would typically result in the bottom of the hood being 66" – 72" above the floor. The bottom of the hood should never be more than 72" above the floor or more than 36" above the countertop. These dimensions provide safe and efficient operation of the hood.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation of Ducting for Proper Operation:

IMPORTANT

Proper installation of ducting is extremely important for optimal performance of your ventilation system. It is a basic requirement that the kitchen is provided with an air intake to ensure good air circulation and therefore proper operation of the hood. Without this incoming air a depression could form that would reduce the efficiency of the ventilation system. All CFMS are based on tests at 0.1 static pressure. Without static pressure all CFM's would be overstated.

• Consult with local codes for make-up air requirements
• Never reduce the duct size
• If ducts are combined the square inch area must reflect the total square inch area of the ducts being combined.
• Do not use flexible or corrugated duct. This type of duct will reflect airflow and reduce performance.
• Only use smooth, galvanized metal duct.
• Make the duct run as short and as straight as possible with as few turns as possible.
• Avoid sharp-angled turns. Use smooth gradual turns such as adjustable elbows or 45 degree angled turns.
• For duct runs over 20 feet increase the duct diameter by one inch for every ten feet of duct.
• Airflow must not be restricted at the end of the duct run.
• Damper is not provided. This must be included in duct run to prevent back drafts.
• Do not terminate venting into an attic or chimney.

Electrical Specifications:

IMPORTANT

This hood is designed to be plugged into a 3-prong ANSI or Non-GFCI outlet – 120Volt, 10amp. Ensure the outlet is not obstructed by the duct run prior to installation.

To connect power to in-hood blowers insert molex connector(s) into the opening located on the side of blower motor.

WARNING

3.4: Cleaning Baffle Filters

The baffle filters are dishwasher safe or can be cleaned in a sink with hot, soapy water. Do not use caustic detergent to clean the filters. Abrasive cleaners may harm or damage the finish. Do not disassemble the baffle filter. Disassembly will void the warranty.

Section 4: Cleaning Interior and Exterior

WARNING

Your hood must be kept clean and maintained properly

• Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, abrasive cloths or cleaners with chlorides.
• Do not allow grease to accumulate. For best results wipe the canopy down with a soft cloth and hot, soapy water.
• The cleaning of the outside of the hood depends on the material used as a decorative exterior. See section for 4.2 for material specific cleaning instructions.
• Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemicals to clean the interior or exterior of the hood.

WARNING

Make sure that the electrical power is off before cleaning. The recommended detergent is a solution of water and a neutral liquid soap. It is very important for the liquid soap to not contain granules that could scratch the surface. First apply the solution to a soft cloth and then rub the cloth over the hood. It is important to follow the direction of the metal grain with the cloth. Do not pour any liquid directly on the ventilation hood. The cloth must have no buttons or fasteners that could scratch the surface. It is strictly forbidden to use chemical solvents, aggressive, grainy or abrasive products, alcohol or similar products that could damage the surface of the hood. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for functional or aesthetic damage caused by cleaning products which are not suitable or using inadequate cleaning methods.

4.1: Cleaning the Interior

Clean the interior of the hood with a cloth wetted in water and a neutral detergent or denatured alcohol as needed. Do not clean the electrical parts or blower with liquids or solvents.

4.2: Cleaning the Exterior

Exterior Finish: Brushed Stainless Steel

Clean the exterior of brushed stainless steel hoods using a soft cloth and quality stainless steel cleaner or warm soapy water. Follow all label instructions. Do not polish across the grain or in circles.

Exterior Finish: Paint with Gloss Finish

Clean the exterior of hood painted with a gloss finish using a soft cloth and quality glass cleaner or warm soapy water. Follow all label instructions. Do not polish across the grain or in circles.

Exterior Finish: Designer Metal (Brushed Brass & Copper, Antique Brass & Copper, Pewter & Oil Rubbed Bronze)

The following Designer Metals are treated with a protective clear coat that will prevent them from aging or discoloring over time. This clear coat will last the life of the hood unless removed by the homeowner. Clean with a microfiber cloth using Endust, Pledge or similar cleaner. Harsh cleaners such as Brite Boy will remove the clear coat and the metals will start to age.

Exterior Finish: Designer Metal (Polished Brass and Polished Copper)

The following Designer Metals are not treated with a protective coating due to a "rainbow" effect it causes on the metal. These finishes will patina over time without care and need occasional cleaning. Clean with a microfiber cloth using Endust, Pledge or similar cleaner for regular cleaning. For tough blemishes Brite Boy can be used with a microfiber cloth, but due to this product being slightly abrasive this should only be used in select situations.
