WARNING

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 flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

**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 – This could cause a violent steam explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
5. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it.
6. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
7. The fire department has been called.
8. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

• Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

• For indoor residential use only.
• To reduce 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.
• Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.
• Avoid using food products that produce flames under the range hood.
• For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
• To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.
• 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.
• The bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 48″ and recommended at a maximum of 84″ above the cooktop for best capture of cooking impurities.
• Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

INSTALLATION

RECOMMENDED TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES

• Measuring tape
• Phillips screwdriver no. 2
• Nut driver or socket 3/8”
• Flat blade screwdriver (to open knockout holes)
• Saw
• Sheet metal shears
• Pliers
• Metal foil duct tape
• Scissors (to cut metal foil duct tape)
• Pencil
• Wire stripper
• Strain relief(s), 7/8” diameter (one to secure house wiring cable to the hood and another one to secure external blower cable to the hood)

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

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

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the insert and the outside (FIG. 1).
2. Choose desired blower outlet position (FIG. 2).
3. A straight, short duct run using 8″ round damper (included with blower kit) for single internal blower and 10″ round damper (included with the hood) for all other blower types will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
4. Long duct runs, elbows and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible.
5. Install wall cap or roof cap (sold separately). Connect metal ductwork to cap and work back towards the hood location. Use 2” foil duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

BLOWER OUTLET POSITION

There are four (4) possible outlet positions:

• Top
• Front
• Back
• Side

The damper can be installed on the housing prior to install the hood in the ceiling with Side and Top outlet positions only.

In the case of Front and Back outlet positions, the damper has to be installed on the housing once the hood is installed in the ceiling. HD1440

10″ damper included with the hood needs to be used for all exterior blower setup and internal blower PM12. With external blower, ducting is to be connected directly on the damper (no rough-in plate required).

6″ damper is needed only with PM6 internal blower. It is included in the PM6 blower kit.

PREPARE THE CEILING OPENING

The hood should always be centered over the cooktop. Make sure there is adequate space in the ceiling structure to install the hood and ductwork. The bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 48″ and recommended at a maximum of 84″ above the cooktop for best capture of cooking impurities. Use joist size lumber to frame in around the range hood opening.
The ceiling structure must be able to support the weight of the hood (FIG. 3).

PREPARE THE HOOD SUPPORT

Construct a wood framing system as shown in FIG. 4. The structure must be capable of supporting its own weight plus the weight of the hood.

INSTALL THE HOOD

CAUTION

At least three installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this range hood.

1. Adjust height of the telescoping support frame to ensure a tight fit between the hood and finished ceiling. The telescoping support frame height must be the same as the wood support height.
2. Lift range hood into the ceiling opening.
3. Secure each suport frame to the wooden hood support frame using 10 # 8 x 1-3/8″ screws provided.See FIG. 5.
4. Connect ductwork. Duct tape all joints to ensure an air tight seal.
5. Make all needed electrical connections. See WIRING section.

PREPARE THE HOOD FOR WIRING CONNECTION AND BLOWER INSTALLATION

1. Push in lock tabs (2) on the ends of perimeter panel. See FIG. 6.
   

2. Open the panel and remove the mesh filters. See FIG. 7.
   

3. To ease access for blower installation, remove the central panel by unscrewing the 3/16 x ¼” screws. See FIG. 7.

CAUTION
Re-install the aluminum mesh filters and central panel as needed (See FIG. 7). Make sure lock tabs are back in place once installation is done (See FIG. 6).

WIRING

WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Electrical wiring must be done by qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Before connecting wires, switch power off at service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.

Home Power Wiring

1. Locate home power junction box (see FIG. 8 and 9) then remove the junction box cover.

2. Install a UL approved 7/8″ strain relief (not included) on the house power cable. Run the power cable in the housing then use the strain relief to secure it.

3. Connect power cable using included wire connectors. Connect BLACK to BLACK, WHITE to WHITE and GREEN or BARE WIRE to GREEN. DO NOT FORGET TO CONNECT THE GROUND. See FIG. 9.
   

4. Reinstall the junction box cover. Make sure all wires are inside the junction box cover.

External Blower Wiring

1. Locate external blower junction box (see FIG. 8 and 10) then remove the junction box cover. Remove the knock-out from the housing. See FIG. 8 for knock-out position. Remove wire protection.
