WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR IN-
JURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
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 Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufac-
turer. 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 ser-
vice panel and lock the service disconnecting means 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 exhaust-
ing of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equip-
ment 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 au-
thorities.
!
CAUTION
1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/
or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray,
construction dust, etc. off power unit.
3. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically
shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. The motor will
restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off
and restart, have the hood serviced.
4. For best capture of cooking impurities, your range hood should
be mounted 18-24" above the cooking surface.
5. Please read specification label on product for further information
and requirements.
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 solid-state speed control de-
vice.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
10. This unit must be grounded.
INSTALLER: Leave This Manual With
the Homeowner.
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 ventilation fans frequently. Grease should not be al-
lowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
HOMEOWNER: Use and Care
Information on Page 5.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for
the size of the surface element.

whether wiring will enter hood from wall or cabinet. (FIG. 4)
DUCTED INSTALLATION ONLY
NOTE
Louver cover must be installed as shown in Figure 3 to
function in ducted mode.
6. Remove appropriate duct knockout on hood by inserting
screwdriver into edge of knockout and breaking tabs holding
knockout to hood. You may have to tap screwdriver with ham-
mer to break tabs. Peel knockout back with pliers. (FIG. 5)
FIG. 4
7. Fit damper/duct connector over opening and secure in place with
black sheet metal screws. (FIG. 6)
Hinge pins and damper/duct connector should be toward top

OMIT STEP 9 if range hood will be installed under cabinets
with flush bottom.
9. (For installation on recessed bottom cabinets only) Attach a
wood filler strip at each side of recessed area under cabi-
net. (Use two 1" x 2" strips cut to length.) If recess is more
than 1" use thicker strips. Attach strips with 1-1/4" screws
about 3" from each end. See FIG. 7.

12.Use 1-1/4" drill bit to drill opening for electrical connection
in wall or cabinet.
13.Hold hood up against cabinet bottom and trace keyhole slots
onto cabinet bottom of filler strips.
14.Screw the four supplied 7/8" wood screws for mounting the
hood into the exact center of the narrow end of the keyhole
slots marked underneath the cabinet. Allow 3/8" of the
screws to project, so the hood can be fitted into place.

Filters are removed by turning filter clip to the side and lifting
filter or filters out. In ducted version, turn filter retaining clip to
one side and place aluminum filter under embossed retaining
tabs on back of fan housing. Turn filter clip so that the low end of
clip holds single filter firmly in place. (FIG. 13)
In ductfree version, place both aluminum and ductfree filter un-
der tabs on back of fan housing. Turn filter retaining clip so that
high end holds both filters firmly in place. Make sure ductfree
filter is next to fan assembly, with blue side next to fan blade,
and aluminum filter is facing out.
NOTE: Make sure that arrows on filter retaining clip point to-
ward back and front of hood.
