INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WARNING • If a fire should occur, do not turn on hood to evacuate smoke. Turn off hood. • Do not use to exhaust hazardous, flammable or explosive materials. • Clean baffle filters often, since accumulated grease can be a fire hazard and affect the performance of your ventilation hood. Handling: • Do not remove the hood from original packaging until you are ready to install.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, install this ventilation unit only with manufacturer approved blowers. This includes blowers rated maximum 8.4 amps – remote or combined integral blowers. Your ventilation hood is designed to work specifically with the integral or remote blower requested.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation of Ducting for Proper Operation: WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, observe the following: • Use only metal ductwork. Do not use flexible or corrugated duct. 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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Step 1: Read all instructions thoroughly before beginning installation. If a duct cover is being used, please review all steps before beginning – for some installations, the order of assembly may be altered. Details which are unique to models starting with “MH” are shown on page 16. Step 2: Remove ventilation hood liner from outer shell. (Figures A through F) – save all components and fasteners as they will be used to reinstall the liner after the hood shell is mounted to the wall.

Removing Baffle Filters: • Hold both handles located on the filter. • Pull towards front of hood to depress spring system. • Pull back of filter down and away from hood.
USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING Turn off power at the service panel prior to cleaning the hood. For cleaning the hood, it is recommended to use a soft cloth and a solution of warm soapy water. It is important that the soap does not contain granules that could scratch the surface. Follow the direction of the metal grain with the cloth. The cloth must have no buttons or fasteners that could scratch the surface.
