This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.  This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING – IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

WARNING

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

• 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.
• 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:

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 the fan or filter.
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for to the size of the surface element.

STAINLESS STEEL PERMANENT FILTERS

About Your New Filters
Stainless Steel Permanent Filters do not need linings or mesh inside of the filters and are completely constructed out of stainless steel. The stainless steel construction allows them to be used again and again after being cleaned or going through the dishwasher.
How do Permanent Filters work?
They function by forcing the grease-filled air to quickly and continuously change direction as it passes through the filter. The grease is unable to change direction as fast as the air carrying them, they end up getting caught on the metal blades and then trapped into the filter tray. These filters are both efficient and require less maintenance.
Additional Aluminum or Charcoal Filters can be purchased from: www.cosmoappliances.com

• Protect the cooktop surface below with cardboard, or the like, to prevent damage from occurring during installation.

• The manufacturer shall not be held liable for the consumer’s failure to observe and follow all pre-installation procedures and safety regulations.

• The vertical distance from the cooking surface to the bottom of the range hood should be at least 24 in. to 36 in. for best performance.

• Determine if your installation will be top venting or back venting, and ensure that the openings in the cabinet or wall are in the appropriate locations and appropriate size.

• If this is a new installation, choose the venting method that suits your needs. Cut out openings for the damper and for power access in the cabinet bottom or exterior wall, depending on the installation method chosen.
  DUCTWORK PLANNING

• These vent hoods are equipped for 8″ round ductwork. This hood may be vented vertically through the upper cabinet or ceiling. A duct transition piece is supplied for vertical exhaust. You may use elbows (sold separately) to vent horizontally through the rear wall.

• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.

• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.

• Use metal ductwork only.

WALL FRAMING FOR ADEQUATE SUPPORT
These vent hoods are heavy. Adequate structural support must be provided.

• Actual length of a straight duct plus duct fitting must be equivalent. Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests conducted by Evaluation Engineering and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any ventilation hood.
  IMPORTANT:
  Plug the Unit in and Test all Functions Before Installing.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: THE HOOD MAY HAVE VERY SHARP EDGES; PLEASE WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES WHENEVER IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE ANY PARTS FOR INSTALLING, CLEANING, OR SERVICING.
