IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If
you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or
telephone number listed in the warranty.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel
and lock service panel to prevent power from being switched on
accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be
locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag,
to the service panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to
prevent backdrafting. 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.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
1. Never leave
surface units
unattended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking
flaming foods.
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size
of the surface element.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT
OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:
1. 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.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - Yo u may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent
steam explosion will result.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A . You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Firesafety Tips” published by NFPA.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fo r indoor use only.
2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous
or explosive materials and vapors.
3. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, this range hood should
not be used with an additional speed control device.
4. To reduce the risk of shock, disconnect power before servicing.
5. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct
air outside.
6. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically

when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart,
have the hood serviced.
PLAN THE INSTALLATION
Recommended mounting height is 18” to 24” from the bottom of the
range hood to the top of the cooking surface.
The hood should be mounted to the bottom of a standard wall cabinet.
If the hood must be mounted directly to a wall, secure the hood to wall
studs.
All wiring must comply with local codes and the unit must be properly
grounded. The hood is connected to a 110-120vAC lighting circuit (15
amp) in the circuit breaker or fuse box.
This range hood is “Convertible” – it may be installed as a ducted or as
a
non-ducted unit.
IF THE RANGE HOOD IS TO BE NON-DUCTED:
Purchase non-ducted (duct-free) charcoal filter Model BPQTF.
IF THE RANGE HOOD IS TO BE DUCTED:
Ductwork can be installed vertically or horizontally.
Duct runs should be as short as possible.
Avoid the use of elbows.
Use duct tape at all joints.
Do not use duct smaller than the discharge on the hood.
For 7” round ductwork installation, use 7” round damper, Model
BP87 (purchased separately).
