SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.
• Before servicing or cleaning 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.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
• Do not use this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
• This unit must be grounded.
• When installing, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.
• When applicable local regulations comprise more restrictive installation and/or certification requirements, the aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this document and the installer agrees to conform to these at his own expense.

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 flam being food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
• 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.
  **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 – 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.

• 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 the 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 24” and is recommended at a maximum of 30” above the cooktop for best capture of cooking impurities.
• Use only with range hood cord connection kits that have been investigated and found acceptable for use with this model range hood.
• Please read the specification label on the product for further information and requirements.

CONTENTS

Before proceeding to the installation, check the contents of the box. If items are missing or damaged, contact the manufacturer.

Make sure that the following items are included:
PM300SS BBN1243SS, BBN1303SS

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK (DUCTED INSTALLATION ONLY)

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

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside. (FIG. 1)
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the unit to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the unit. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.
4. Install wall cap or roof cap (sold separately). Connect metal ductwork to cap and work back towards the unit location. Use 2” metal foil duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

OPTIONAL LINERS (PM300SS UNIT ONLY)
For installations where the PM300SS unit is less than 30” above the cooktop, this powerpack insert should be mounted into a metal liner (FIG. 2) to protect cabinetry combustible material from heat, in order to meet building code requirements. This will allow easier cleaning and provide protection to the cabinetry. Refer to the table at right to find the liner model corresponding to the cabinet style and width.
Visit www.broan-nutone.com or www.broan- nutone.ca to view specific model information.

REMOVE THE CABINET BRACKETS (BBN1243SS AND BBN1303SS UNITS ONLY)
Detach the cabinet brackets (grey part in FIG. 3) from the back of the power pack insert by removing its 2 retaining screws. Discard the screws. Fold up and down the bracket until it is split in two separate parts (FIG. 4). Keep the brackets for possible further use.
NOTE : Both cabinet brackets have one wide edge and one narrow edge (FIG. 5), to cover all installation configurations depending on cabinet widths.

PREPARE THE CABINET

WARNING
The cabinet must be secured to wall studs or another wooden framework behind the drywall to support the weight of this unit. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the countertop or cooktop.

NOTES:

• A. The unit has to be installed inside the cabinet. If installing with one of the optional liners (PM300SS unit only), use it as a template to cut the hole in the bottom of the cabinet.
• B. The unit should be mounted and centered laterally over the cooktop burners.
• C. For back to the front position, the unit must be mounted according to local building codes.

1. Cut a hole in the bottom of the cabinet, using the dimensions shown (FIG. 6), or use the optional liner as a template (PM300SS unit only).
2. PM300SS unit only: Where needed, install the metal liner. Go to PREPARE THE UNIT section on page 10
3. BBN1243SS and BBN1303SS units only: Measure the remaining material of the cabinet bottom sides (C) (FIG. 7), if it is 1/4” or more, there is no need to use the cabinet brackets. Go to step 8 on page 9.
4. If there is less than 1/4” remaining material (C), carefully remove those strips. Measure the cabinet inner width (D) (FIG. 7). Refer to the table below to see which cabinet bracket edge configuration must be used.
   Unit| narrow edge| wide edge
   ---|---|---

5. Pay attention to the Ease of Install hooks location on the unit (distance given from unit front flange, FIG. 8). Measure and mark the position of the Ease of Install hooks (shown as E in FIG. 9 on next page) on both cabinet side walls.

6. Install the cabinet brackets as follow (FIG. 9):

7. 1. Align the bracket flush with the bottom of the right cabinet side panel, with the hooks marked position (E) between the bottom embossed holes. For the narrow edge configuration, trace a line on the top of the bracket. For wide edge configuration, trace a line at the bottom of the central slots.

8. Lift the bracket flush with the marked lined. Assemble the bracket to the cabinet side panel using 2 no. 8 x 5/8” wood screws (included in parts bag) through the upper holes.
   NOTE: Do not use the embossed holes to attach the bracket to the cabinet.

9. Repeat steps 1 to 2 for the left cabinet side panel.

10. Measure the distance between both bottom bracket edges (F) (FIG. 10). The table below shows the appropriate distance needed. If the measured distance needs to be shortened, screw two no. 8-32 x 1/4” machine screws, in each bottom embossed cabinet brackets hole; this will slightly bend the bottom part of the brackets (FIG. 11). Screw both brackets until the appropriate distance is obtained.
