WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
Install this hood in accordance with all requirements specified
WARNING
To Reduce The Risk Of Fire Or Electric Shock, Do Not Use This Hood With Any
External Solid State Speed Control Device.
WARNING**
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE.
a) 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.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing ood (l.e.
Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the
surface element.
WARNING
NOT SUITBLE FOR USE WITH SOLID-STATE SPEED CONTROLS
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a)SMOTHER FLAMES with a closefitting 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.
b)NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – you may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam
explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
- The fie is small and contained in the area where it started.
- The fie department is being called.
- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Cleaning
WARNING
To Reduce The Risk Of Fire Or Electrical shock disconnect from power supply
before cleaning.
IMPORTANT
Clean the hood and grease filters frequently according to the following
instructions. Replace grease filter before operating hood.
IMPORTANT
Exterior Surfaces
Do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, Cooktop Polishing
Creme, steel wool, gritty washcloths or paper towels.
To avoid damage to the stainless steel, do not use cleaners that contain
chlorine.
Cleaning Method:
Clean the stainless with warm soapy water using a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse
with clean water and dry with a soft clean cloth. DO NOT USE any cleaners like
Stainless Steel cleaners or any other types of cleaners containing any
abrasive, chlorides, chlorines or ammonia. It is recommended to use mild dish
soap and water or a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar.
RANGE HOOD CARE
To clean or replace grease filter:
-
Take down lamp-chimney,take down screw.
-
According to “ ” direction loosen Plastic seat.
-
To clean grease filter, soak the filters in hot water using a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry.
NOTE
Do not use ammonia. The aluminum on the grease filter will corrode and darken.
NOTE
The grease filter is dishwasher safe.
To avoid grease filter damage while cleaning, place filter into the dishwasher
top rack for cleaning.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Haxard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
Assembly LED lights (lamp not included)
- Use an E26 LED Bulb, Spin to tighten E26 light bulb (120v, Max 9W, LED only)
- Place the lampshade in the hole
- Do not terminate the vent system into an attic or other enclosed area.
- Do not use a 4” (102 mm) laundry-type wall cap.
- Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended.
- Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
- The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficien performance.
For the most efficient and quiet ope ation:
- Use no more than three 90° elbows.
- Make sure there is a minimum of 24” (610mm) of straight vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
- Do not install 2 elbows together.
- Use clamps or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
- The vent system at exit must have a cold air damper.
- Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
- Best performances are reached with straight piping, without elbows and using smooth pipe.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold
air flow and a thermal b eak
should be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of
the vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal
break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent system enters the
heated portion of the house.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using
ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air m vement. The specified
CFM aries from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific
equirements in your area.
Venting Methods
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 3.25” x 10” (83
x 254 mm) rectangular with a maximum vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m) for vent
system.
NOTE
Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates both back pressure and
air turbulence that greatly reduce performance. Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet
(meters) for each vent piece used in the system.
These directions are for rectangular vent installation only.
If you choose to use round rigid metal venting the minimum diameter to use is
8″.?

VENTING REQUIREMENTS
PREPARE THE LOCATION
NOTE
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling,
wall or cabinet.
Fitting material is provided to secure the hood to most types of walls and
cabinets.
