•   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.

•   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) 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 additional solid-state speed control device.

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

•   This unit must be grounded.

•   As an alternative, this product may be installed with the UL-approved cord kit designated for the product, following instructions packed with the cord kit.

•   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 flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

c) Clean ventilating fan frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts.

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 — This could cause a violent steam explosion.

4.     Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

A.     You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you know how to operate it.

B.     The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

C.    The fire department has been called.

D.    You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

• Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

| •   For indoor use only.

•   For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

•   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.

•   For best capture of cooking fumes, the bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 18” for electric range or 26” for gas range and at a recommended maximum of 30” above the cooking surface (at installer discretion).

•   Always follow the cooking equipment manufacturer’s requirements regarding the ventilation needs.

•   To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside — Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics, crawl space or garage.

•   When installing, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.

•   Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

•   Always use tools appropriate for the task being performed.

PREPARE THE HOOD

PERFORM REQUIRED CUTOUTS

INSTALL OPTIONAL EZ1 TEMPORARY SUPPORT BRACKETS (SUPPLIED WITH BUEZ MODELS)
The EZ1 installation system consists of 2 brackets (included in parts bag). Use these brackets to TEMPORARILY hang the hood to the cabinet during its installation. If not used, go to step 5.

INSTALL THE HOOD
Run house power cable between service panel and hood location. Run the house power cable into the hood through the strain relief previously installed in step 3.

Hang the hood on the brackets using the 2 recessed FRONT HOLES. Slide hood back towards wall until hood is fully engaged.

WHILE HOLDING THE HOOD, secure the hood to the cabinet using 4 round head wood screws (included in parts bag). Use 2 screws per side.

PLUG THE HOOD
Connect House Power Cable to the range hood wiring: BLACK to BLACK, WHITE to WHITE and GREEN or bare wire under GREEN ground screw.
Reinstall the wiring cover.

INSTALL LIGHT BULB
Install a LED light bulb (not included). It should be A19 type, E26 base,75 watts maximum. If an incandescent light bulb is used (75 watts maximum), the light lens (part no. S99110437) must be used.

OPERATION

Hoods with rocker switch controls:
The fan and light are each controlled by a rocker switch. The light switch has two positions, “ON” and “OFF”. The fan switch has three positions – “HIGH”, “LOW” and “OFF”. ( “OFF” is the middle position.)

Hoods with knob control:
Right knob controls light and left knob controls blower. Rotate light knob CLOCKWISE to turn light on HIGH intensity. Further CLOCKWISE rotation turns light to LOW intensity. Rotate knob fully COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to turn light OFF. Rotate blower knob CLOCKWISE to turn blower ON to HIGH speed. Further CLOCKWISE rotation decreases blower speed. Rotate knob fully COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (past HIGH speed) to turn fan OFF.
