To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, observe the following:

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

2. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at the service 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 exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment 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 of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

5. When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

6. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this range hood with an additional speed control device.

7. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

9. Use with an approved cord-connection kit only.

10. This unit must be grounded.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a range top grease fire, observe the following:

1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

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.

To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire from occurring:

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 the hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods.

3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter.

4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

1. For indoor use only.

2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off the power unit.

4. For best capture of cooking impurities, your range hood should be mounted so that the top of the hood is 24-30″ above the cooking surface.

5. Please read the specification label on the product for further information and requirements.

1. Determine whether the hood will discharge vertically (3¼” x 10″) or horizontally (3¼” x 10″ only). For vertical or horizontal discharge, run ductwork between the hood location and a roof cap or wall cap. For best results, use a minimum number of transitions and elbows.

2. Use the diagrams in the manual for proper placement of ductwork and electrical cutout in the cabinet or wall. For a non-ducted installation, DO NOT cut a duct access hole.

3. Run house wiring between the service panel and the hood location.

1. Remove the tape holding the Filters in place. Pull down on the filter tabs or finger holes and lift the filters out. Set filters aside.

2. Remove the Teflon®-coated bottom cover from the hood by taking out the 2 screws holding it. Set the cover and mounting screws aside.

3. Remove the Damper/Duct Connector from inside the hood. Set the connector aside with its mounting screws and parts bag.

4. Remove either the top or back wiring knockout and install an approved Electrical Cable Clamp.

The following steps are for NON-DUCTED INSTALLATION ONLY:

1. Remove the Light Panel, which is held in place with (3) #8 screws and (2) #8 screws. Disconnect the light assembly wire harness (white connector).

2. Remove the Air Chute, which is held in place with one (1) screw. Be careful not to disconnect any wires.

3. Remove the Baffle from the air chute. The Tabs will disengage from the Slots.

4. Rotate the baffle. Reinsert the baffle into the air chute so that it fits all the way in. An audible “click” will be heard when fully installed. This will direct air flow through the non-ducted slots on top of the hood.

5. Re-install the air chute and screw, reconnect the wire harness, and replace the light panel. NOTE: Be careful not to trap wires between the Support Fin and light panel.

6. Attach a Performance Ring to the blower wheel. To do this:

– Remove the Blower Wheel by rocking it side to side and applying a slight force to pull it from the motor. Remove the Retaining Ring if necessary.

– Slide the ring onto the Small Diameter End of the wheel and down to the Stop Edge of the wheel.

– Reassemble the wheel to the motor. Make sure the Tab on the wheel fits into one of the Motor Slots.

– Push the wheel down until it is locked in place.

– Check that the wheel is properly positioned and turns freely. Press Sections into place if necessary.

1. Remove the appropriate Duct Knockout(s) from the top or back of the hood for either vertical or horizontal discharge.

2. For Horizontal Discharge Only: Remove the Plate in front of the horizontal discharge knockout. Cut the Ties, lift the plate out, and discard it. DO NOT REMOVE the Metal Strip held in place with two Screws.

3. For 3¼” x 10″ Ducted Discharge Only: Remove the Tape from the damper flap. Attach the Damper/Duct Connector over the knockout opening with the screws previously removed. Make sure the damper Pivot is nearest to the Top/Back Edge of the hood. The Damper/Duct Connector can be installed up to 1-inch on either side of the hood center to accommodate off-center ductwork.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, make sure power is switched off at the service panel. Lock or tag the service panel to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.

1. Connect the House Wiring (120 VAC) to the hood. Use a piece of cardboard to protect the cooktop, if necessary.

2. Connect the house black wire to the hood’s black wire, the house white wire to the hood’s white wire, and the house ground wire under the Green Ground Screw. Securely tighten the cable clamp onto the house wiring.

1. Hang the hood from the (4) Mounting Screws. Slide the hood towards the wall until the mounting screws are engaged in the narrow end of the (4) Keyholes. Tighten the mounting screws securely. A long screwdriver works best.

2. Replace the bottom cover.

3. For ducted installations, connect the ductwork to the hood. Use Duct Tape to make joints secure and air tight.

4. Install (2) PAR20, 50 W Maximum Halogen Bulbs or (2) R16, 40 W Maximum Incandescent Bulbs. Purchase bulbs separately. CAUTION: Bulbs may be hot! Refer to bulb packaging for further information.

5. Replace the filters, turn on power at the service panel, and test for proper operation.

If the hood is to be installed Non-Ducted, you must purchase a set of (2) Non-Ducted Filters from your local distributor or retailer and attach them to the aluminum mesh filters.

For models that are installed in the non-ducted mode, the most effective operation is achieved at speeds 1 and 2. These speeds provide the most efficient and quiet operation during cooking, while maximizing the benefits of the recirculating filtration system.

The unit has 3 push button switches for the fan and 3 for the lights.

Push any button to select one of 3 fan speeds or one of 3 light levels. A light above each fan button indicates the selected fan speed.

Push the same button again to turn the fan or light off.

Press another button to change the fan speed or light level.

Your range hood is equipped with the Heat Sentry feature, which monitors temperature. The Heat Sentry will automatically turn the fan on at its highest speed when the temperature is above normal.

1. If a fan setting is selected when the Heat Sentry is on, the light above the fan button will flash on and off.

2. If the fan setting is off when the Heat Sentry is on, the light above fan button 3 will flash on and off rapidly.

After the temperature has lowered to normal, the fan will change to the setting prior to the Heat Sentry turning on.

The hood control contains a fuse to protect it from power surges. If the fuse has opened (blown), the green fan-level indicators will operate properly when the fan buttons are pressed, but the fan and lights will not turn on. The fuse is a 5 x 20 mm, 10 Amp, Fast-Acting, 125V (min.).

To replace the fuse:

1. Disconnect power at the service entrance.

2. Remove filters, bottom panel, light wire harness, and air chute.

3. Remove and inspect the fuse. If it is not open (blown), additional diagnostics need to be done.

4. Install a new fuse.

5. Re-assemble the air chute, light wire harness, bottom panel, and filters.

6. Turn on power and check the hood/control operation.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.

Aluminum mesh filters: Clean frequently using hot water and a mild detergent. Filters are dishwasher safe.

Charcoal filters: Clean filter surfaces frequently with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. DO NOT immerse filters in water or put them in the dishwasher. The special “Clean Sense” feature indicates when the filter is to be replaced. The dotted lines on the indicator strip will change to solid wide lines when it is time to change the filter. The “Clean Sense” feature works best when facing toward the cooking surface.

To clean the hood: Remove filters. Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent to wipe all grease-laden surfaces. Do not use abrasive cloth, steel wool pads, or scouring powder on the Teflon®-coated bottom cover or on any painted surface. Use care when cleaning the blower wheel – it must not become bent or misaligned. DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE MOTOR. Make sure all surfaces are completely dry before re-installing filters and restoring power.

The motor is permanently lubricated. Do not oil or disassemble the motor.
