  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

• Always leave safety grills and filters in place. Without these components, operating blowers could catch onto hair, fingers and loose clothing. The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of failure to observe the instructions given here for installation, maintenance and suitable use of the product. The manufacturer further declines all responsibility for injury due to negligence and the warranty of the unit automatically expires due to improper maintenance.

• 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 flaming food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
  C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY:

1. This Range Hood can be vented through the top or back.
   For ductless installation, install an Air Outlet Cap on the rear vent hole. If air will be vented, install the damper attachment on the side that the air will vent through (top or rear, shown in Fig. 2)

2. For optimal performance the Range Hood must be installed 24” – 30” in height from the cooktop. (Fig. 1)

3. Electrical Requirements: Rated Voltage and Frequency:) 110-120V~ 60Hz. Motor Input Power: 90W

WARNING

• ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES, ORDINANCES, OR NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. IF YOU ARE
• UNFAMILIAR WITH METHODS OF INSTALLING ELECTRICAL WIRING, SECURE THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
  Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the chimney of fuel burning equipment to prevent back-drafting.
  Follow the cooking equipment manufacturer’s guideline 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 local code. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. Ducted systems must always be vented outdoors.

PRE-INSTALLATION

• Please read the instructions carefully. Unpack the Range Hood and check that all
• functions are working before installing.
• Ensure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on the sticker match the voltage and frequency at the installation site.
• Check that the area behind the installation surface to be drilled is clear of any electrical cables or pipes, etc.
• The stainless steel surfaces of the Range Hood are very easily damaged during installation if scratched or bumped by tools. Please take care to protect the surfaces during installation.
• Protect the cooktop surface below with plywood, or similar material, to prevent damage occurring during installation.
• The manufacturer shall not be held liable for failure to observe all safety regulations.

IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE INSTALLATION!

You will need to set the Range Hood mode to either Ducted or Recirculating.

1. Remove Aluminum Filters
2. Locate Knob Settings located under the Motor (Fig. 3)
3. Rotate the lever to either Ducted or Recirculating mode.
4. If recirculating mode is chosen, install the vent cover on the rear vent hole.
   If ducted mode is chosen, install the damper on the vent hole where the air will vent through (top or rear), and install the vent cover on the other vent hole (shown on Fig.2 of the previous page).

PRE-INSTALLATION

• Your venting system must vent to the outdoors either horizontally through the back wall (13) or vertically through the roof (14). (refer to Fig. 5/Fig. 6/Fig. 7).
• For this range hood, use 5 in. round metal ductwork for the top -OR- use rectangular adapter / ductwork for the back. Connect to damper using HVAC aluminum tape.
• The total duct length should not be more than 35 ft. Calculate the total effective length of the ductwork by using the table below. For each fitting use the table to see its straight duct equivalent.
• Fasten all ductwork with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified HVAC tape.
• If you must turn the path of the ductwork using elbows, keep the number of elbows to a minimum for best performance. Use no more than three 90 degree elbows. Ensure that there is a minimum of 25.6 in. of straight vent between each elbow. Use el-bows as far away from the range hoods exhaust opening as possible.
• Cap the exterior of the duct with a wall cap (15) or roof cap (16). Never use (4 in.) laundry-type wall caps. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
• The venting system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range hood.
