Use and Care Guide

1
Read all instructions before installing and operating this appliance.
The installation instructions in this manual are intended for qualified installers, service
technicians, or persons with similar qualified background. Installation and electrical
wiring must be done by qualified professionals and in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including first-rated construction. DO NOT attempt to install this
appliance yourself. Injury could result from installing the unit due to lack of appropriate
electrical and technical background. Due to the size and weight of this range hood, two
people installation is recommended.
Range hood may have very sharp edges; please wear protective gloves if it is
necessary to remove any parts for installing, cleaning or servicing.
Activating any switch ON before completing installation may cause ignition or an
explosion.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons:
For general ventilating use only. DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous or explosive
materials and vapors. The combustion air flow needed for safe operation of fuel-burning
equipment may be affected by this unit’s operation. 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 of Heating, Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities. Sufficient air
is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the duct to prevent
back drafting.
Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power OFF at service panel and lock service
panel to prevent power from being switched ON accidentally.
Metal ductwork may be required based on local codes. Complimentary ductwork in
either heat-resistant PVC or flexible metal may be included as a courtesy and can be
omitted in favor of required ductwork.
Ducted fans MUST ALWAYS be vented to the outdoors. At the point where the duct work
ends, add an external damper to prevent air from entering the home when the hood is
not in use. This also prevents small animals and rain water from entering the duct work.
When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage electrical wiring
or other hidden utilities.
