READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU START INSTALLING THIS RANGEHOOD
WARNING: - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE: Never leave
surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium setting. Always turn hood ON when
cooking at high heat or when flambeing foods (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Pep-
percorn Beef Flambè). Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter. 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: 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. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned. DO NOT USE
WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result. Use an
extinguisher ONLY if: 1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know
how to operate it. 2. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. 3. The fire
department is being called. 4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
ALL WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS WHERE THE RANGEHOOD IS INSTALLED MUST BE
SEALED.
This rangehood requires at least 24" of clearance between the bottom of the rangehood and
the cooking surface or countertop. This minimum clearance may be higher depending on
local building code. For example, for gas ranges, a minimum of 30" may be required. The
maximum depth of overhead cabinets is 13". Overhead cabinets on both sides of this unit
must be a minimum of 18" above the cooking surface or countertop. Consult the cooktop or
range installation instructions given by the manufacturer before making any cutouts. MOBILE
HOME INSTALLATION. The installation of this rangehood must conform to the Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly Federal Stan-
dard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280). Four wire power
supply must be used and the appliance wiring must be revised. See Electrical Requirements.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Determine which venting method is best for your application. Ductwork can extend either
through the wall or the roof. The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should
be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of the ductwork should be
uniform. Do not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork
system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or floor opening around the cap.
Flexible ductwork is not recommended. Flexible ductwork creates back pressure
and air turbulence that greatly reduces performance.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making
cutouts. Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut,
then a supporting frame must be constructed
WARNING - To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Use Only Metal Ductwork.
