Safety IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety Precautions Do not attempt to install or operate your unit until you have read the safety precautions in this manual. Safety items throughout this manual are labeled with a Warning or Caution based on the risk type. Definitions This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
Safety General Precautions WARNING • To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire: a) 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. b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’). c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. d) Use proper pan size.
Safety CAUTION • For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors. • Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the cooktop or vent, as they could climb on the appliance to reach items and be injured. CAUTION • Begin by ensuring proper installation and grounding of the hood by a qualified installer. Have the installer show you where the fuse or junction box is located so that you know how and where to turn off power.
Safety CAUTION • For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be a minimum of 24” and a maximum of 30” above the cooking surface. See “Install Mounting Bracket” section for mounting restrictions. • Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this hood. • This product is equipped with a thermostat which may start blower automatically.
Getting Started 9 OPERATING YOUR HOOD IMPORTANT Do not operate the vent system without the filters in place or with dirty, grease-laden filters.

Installation 13 INSTALL THE DUCTWORK CAUTION To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork. ROOF CAP 1 Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside. ROUND DUCT 2 A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently. 3 Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs. 4 Install a roof or wall cap.
Installation INSTALL THE MOUNTING BRACKET Ducted and Non-Ducted Hoods 1 Construct wood wall framing that is flush with interior surface of wall studs. Make sure: a the framing is centered over installation location. b the height of the framing will allow the mounting bracket to be secured to the framing within the dimensions shown. 2 After wall surface is installed, secure the mounting bracket to framing with (2) 4.8x38mm mounting screws. See chart below for mounting bracket location.

Troubleshooting IF SERVICE IS REQUIRED First, review the recommended checks listed in the Troubleshooting Guide. Then, be certain that the appliance has been installed properly and is being operated correctly. Familiarize yourself with the warranty terms and conditions listed in the Warranty section. If the above checks have been completed and the problem has not yet been remedied, contact the dealer where you purchased the unit. State the Model and Serial number and explain the problem.
Troubleshooting TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE IMPORTANT Unnecessary service calls may be expensive, frustrating and time consuming. Before you call for service, please review the potential problems, possible causes and remedies shown in the table below. Troubleshooting - What to check when problems occur Problem Possible Cause Remedy Nothing works. Vent power supply interrupted or not energized. Have electrician check power supply, including house circuit breaker and fuses. Lights do not turn on.
Saving Energy ENERGY SAVING TIPS 1 Do not operate the blower at a speed that is higher than necessary to remove the cooking exhaust. Running at excessive speeds removes more air from the inside of the house that must be replaced by outside air. This may be especially costly when the housing air conditioning or heating system is in operation. 2 Clean filters and grease-laden surfaces often to improve efficiency. 3 Turn off the blower as soon as all cooking smoke and odors have been eliminated.
