TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSON(S) 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 disconnecting means to prevent
power from being switch 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
qualified personnel 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 guidelines and safety standards such as
those published by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), 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. Do not use this unit with any other solid-state speed control
device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only steel ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.
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
cooking flaming foods (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filters.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for
the size of the surface element.

unbalanced impeller, keep drywall spray, construction dust,
etc. off power unit.
4. Do not use over cooking equipment greater than 60,000
BTU/hr. as the blower motor will shut down intermittently.
5. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated.
The motor will restart when it will cool down. If the motor
continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
6. The bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 30” and
at a maximum of 36” above cooktop for best capture of
cooking impurities.
7. Two installers are recommended because of the size of
this hood.
8. To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure
to duct air outside. Do not exhaust air into spaces within
