holes for additional mounting use appropriate anchors if

installers are recommended to prevent injury or damage to
the hood in handling.
Turn the power on at the service entrance and check the
operation of the controls.
NOTE: be sure that all dampers are operating properly and
are free to open.
BACKDRAFT DAMPER
: It is recommended that a backdraft damper be used
in all installations. In cold weather installations it is necessary to use a backdraft
damper to minimize backflow of cold air into room. A non-metallic thermal
break should also be used to minimize conduction of outside temperatures
through the ductwork. The thermal break should be located as close as possible
to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
SAFTY WARNING:
Turn off power circuit at
the service entrance and
lockout panel before
wiring the range hood.
