WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE ELECTRIC
SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOW-
ING:
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards
- including fire-rated construction.
• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to
prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
and theAmerican Society for Heating, Refrigeration andAir Con-
ditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and local code authorities.
you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service
panel and lock service panel to prevent from being switched on
accidentally.
When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, se-
curely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the
service panel.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use
this range hood with an additional speed control device.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage elec-
trical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• 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.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cook-
ing flaming foods.
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on fan or filter.
• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the
size of the surface element.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS
IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING*:
• SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal
tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFULTO PREVENT BURNS.
If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — you may be burned.
• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels — a
violent steam explosion will result.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
WARNING: “To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork”.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be
sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within
walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.
PLANNING
• Recommended mounting height is 24” to 30” above 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 be properly grounded. Connection should be made
to a 110-120VAC lighting circuit (15 Amp) in the circuit breaker or
fuse box.
• DUCTING:
(a) RL6300-H installs with 7” round duct vented vertically.
RL5300-H installs with 5” round vented vertically. RL6100-H
installs with 3¼” x 10” duct vented vertically or horizontally.
(b) Make the duct run as short as possible. Try to avoid the use
of elbows in the duct. All joints should be properly sealed.
Do not use duct smaller than the discharge on the hood.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you al-
ready know how to operate it.
2. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3. The fire department is being called.
4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
(c) Do not terminate duct in an attic space. Run duct to the out-
side, using a roof or wall cap to terminate the run.

PREPARATION
1. Use the dimensional drawing to lay out the Range Hood’s mount-
ing holes, wiring access and ductwork.
2. Make cutouts for wiring and ductwork.
3. If the hood is to be ducted, install the ductwork so that is flush to
the Range Hood’s mounting surface.
• Refer to Figure 1 for Model RL5300-H.
• Refer to Figure 2 for Model RL6100-H.
• Refer to Figure 3 for Model RL6300-H.
4. Run two-conductor wire (with ground) from a power source to the
hood location. Bring approximately 12” of wiring through wiring
hole in cabinet.
5. Drill four 3/32” diameter pilot holes at points where mounting holes
are marked in the filler strips or cabinet bottom.
6. Insert four (4) mounting screws (not supplied), leaving approxi-
mately ¼” of thread exposed. Use No. 8 or No. 10 round head
screws.
INSTALLATION
1. For RL6100 model, attach duct transition to top or back of hood
using screws provided. (Refer to figure 4)
Note: for horizontal venting the damper in the duct transi-
tion may be removed to avoid interference with the wall cap.
2. Remove top or back wiring knockout from the hood and feed the
wiring into electrical box.
3. Align hood’s keyhole mounting slots over the four partially in-
stalled screws.
4. Making sure the duct positions over the hood’s duct transition,
push the hood against the rear wall. Secure hood by tightening
screws.
5. Using a long blade screwdriver, reach into the discharge open-
ings and be certain the damper operates freely.
6. Secure ducting to hood.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
All wiring connections must comply with local codes and the unit
must be properly grounded.
1. Make sure box connector is secure.
2. Refer to Figure 5. Make wiring connections.
3. Replace electrical box cover and secure with screw.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
COMPLETING ASSEMBLY
NOTE: To avoid risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury, turn off
power at supply before servicing.
1. Install 75-watt (maximum) bulb in to receptacle.
(Purchase bulb locally).
2. Install filter and light lens.
FILTERS
The aluminum filter should be removed once a week and washed
in hot detergent water. Rinse in clear, warm water and shake off
excess moisture before replacing. The filter may also be cleaned in
your dishwasher.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Should replacement parts be required, please indicate hood
model number and appropriate part number. Contact your NuTone
dealer or write to NuTone: Madison and Red Bank Roads, Cincin-
nati, Ohio 45227-1599. Attn.: Parts Department.
CLEANING
The hood should be wiped off occasionally both inside and out-
side using warm water, mild dish detergent and a soft cloth. Never
use scouring powders, steel wool pads or any other abrasive clean-
ers which will destroy the hood’s finish.
