General Safety
• Ducted range hoods MUST ALWAYS be vented to the outdoors or in some
instances converted to recirculate the air. All our range hoods come with a
transition piece with a built-in damper. Some existing installations may already
have an external damper. Please consult an HVAC or installation professional for
advice to comply with local regulations.
• When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage electrical
wiring or other hidden utilities.
• Your safety and the safety of others is very important. We have provided many
important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always
read and obey all safety messages. All safety messages will tell you what the
potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what
can happen if the instructions are not followed.
• All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated, and grounded.
• Old duct work should be cleaned or replaced, if necessary, to avoid the
possibility of a grease fire. Check all joints on duct work to insure proper
connection, all joints should be properly taped.
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any
questions, contact the vendor.
• When the range hood ventilates the air out of the room, the air vented must be
replaced, this is called make-up air. If a makeup air system is needed, but not
used, a hood may not function as expected due to negative air pressure. We do
not currently provide a make-up air unit. Always consult any applicable building
codes in your area in regards to minimum and maximum air flow rates. Certain
states may require additional items such as make-up air for larger CFM range
hoods (typically over 300 CFM).
• Keep all fans, baffle, spaces, filter, grease tunnel, oil container and grease-
laden surfaces clean. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan,
baffle, spaces, filter, grease tunnel or oil container. Clean grease-laden surfaces
frequently.
• To reduce the risk of fire and to disperse air properly, make sure to vent air
outside. DO NOT vent exhaust into spaces between walls, crawl spaces,
ceilings, attics or garages.
