IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU START INSTALLING THIS RANGE HOOD

WARNING: – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

• 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.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter.
• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

WARNING: – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:

• MOTHER 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.
• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
2. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3. The fire department is being called.
4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

• Based on “Kitchen Fire safety Tips” published by NFPA
  WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
  WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

  1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
  2. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the 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.

CAUTION: For General Ventilating Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous or Explosive Materials and Vapors.
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) By 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 back-drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
3. When cutting or drilling into a 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 RANGE HOOD IS INSTALLED MUST BE SEALED.
This Range Hood requires at least 35″ of clearance between the bottom of the Range Hood and the cooking surface or countertop. This hood has been approved by UL at this distance from the cooktop.
Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given by the manufacturer before making any cutouts. MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION The installation of this Range Hood 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).
Attention: This hood has been engineered to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) originating from the consumer’s home power source. However, in some home applications, ambient EMI and excessive EMI from other electronic sources can compromise the reliability of the remote control.
Please speak with your Faber Distributor about an optional spare part to further reduce EMI from home sources.
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 walls and ceiling space 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 walls and ceiling space for the exhaust duct before making cutouts. Do not cut a joist or stud unless 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: To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Electric Shock Or Injury To Persons, Do Not Use Replacement Parts That Have Not Been Recommended By The Manufacturer (e.g. Parts Made At Home Using A 3D Printer).
Cold Weather installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break 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.

WARNING

• The 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 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
