WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

  1. Installation Work And Electrical Wiring Must Be Done By Qualified Person(s) In Accor-dance With All Applicable Codes And Standards, Including Fire-Rated Construction.
  2. 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 for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
  3. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
  4. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

ALL WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS WHERE THE RANGEHOOD IS INSTALLED MUST BE SEALED. This rangehood requires at least 24″ of clearance between the bottom of the rangehood and the cooking surface or countertop. This hood has been approved by UL at this distance from the cooktop. This minimum clearance may be higher depending on local building codes. For gas cooktops and combination ranges, a minimum of 30″ is recommended and may be required. Overhead cabinets on both sides of this unit must be a minimum of 18″ above the cooking surface or countertop. Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given by the manufacturer before making any cutouts.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
The installation of this rangehood must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280). See Electrical Requirements.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Determine which venting method is best for your application. Ductwork can extend either through the wall or the roof.
The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or floor opening around the cap.
Flexible ductwork is not recommended. Flexible ductwork creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduces performance.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making cutouts. Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.

WARNING – To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Use Only Metal Ductwork.

CAUTION – 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.

WARNING

  • Venting system MUST terminate outside the home.
  • DO NOT terminate the ductwork in an attic or other enclosed space.
  • DO NOT use 4″ laundry-type wall caps.
  • Flexible-type ductwork is not recommended.
  • DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
  • Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a fire.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC-only electrical supply is required on a separate 15 amp fused circuit. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. The fuse must be sized per local codes in accordance with the electrical rating of this unit as specified on the serial/rating plate located inside the unit near the field wiring compartment.

WARNING

  • Electrical ground is required on this rangehood.
  • If cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, nonmetallic gaskets or other materials, DO NOT use for grounding.
  • DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.
  • DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit could result in electrical shock.
  • Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the rangehood is properly grounded.
  • Failure to follow electrical requirements may result in a fire.
