WARNING
If the information in this manual is not followed
exactly, fire or shock may result causing property
damage or personal injury.
WARNING
Do not repair, replace or remove any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manuals. Improper installation, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage.
Refer to this manual for guidance. All other servicing
should be done by a qualified technician.
WARNING
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
‒ Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-
rated construction.
‒ 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.
‒ When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do
not damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
‒ Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.
WARNING
The applicable regulations of the energy supply
companies and the regional construction regulations
must be observed when installing the hood.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Grease deposits in the grease filter can catch fire.
Never work with a naked flame near the appliance
(e.g. flambéing). Install the unit near a heat-producing
appliance for solid fuels (e.g. wood or coal) only if
there is a closed, non-detachable cover. There must
be no flying sparks.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Operating several gas burners at the same time gives
rise to a great deal of heat. The ventilation appliance
may become damaged or catch fire. The ventilation
appliance must only be combined with gas burners
that do not exceed the maximum total output of 61,000
Btu/hr (18 kW). If 41,000 Btu/hr (12 kW) is exceeded,
the local regulations concerning room ventilation,
room size, and combination with ventilation devices in
exhaust and recirculating operation must be heeded.
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be
sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or
garages.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
