SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards
that can hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert
symbol.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERATING THIS
APPLIANCE.
• The installation instructions in this manual are intended for qualified installers,
service technicians, or persons with similar qualified background. Installation
and electrical wiring must be done by qualified professionals and in accordance
with all applicable codes and standards, including first-rated construction. DO
NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could result from installing
the unit due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical background. Due to
the size and weight of this range hood, two people installation is recommended.
• Range hood may have very sharp edges; please wear protective gloves if it is
necessary to remove any parts for installing, cleaning or servicing.
• Activating any switch ON before completing installation may cause ignition or
an explosion.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS:
• For general ventilating use only. DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous or explosive
materials and vapors. The combustion air flow needed for safe operation of
fuel-burning equipment may be affected by this unit’s operation. 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 of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and
the local code authorities. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the duct to prevent back drafting.
• Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power OFF at service panel and lock
service panel to prevent power from being switched ON accidentally.
• Metal ductwork may be required based on local codes. Complimentary
ductwork in either heat-resistant PVC or flexible metal may be included as a
courtesy and can be omitted in favor of required ductwork.
WARNING
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Ducted fans MUST ALWAYS be vented to the outdoors. At the point where the
duct work ends, add an external damper to prevent air from entering the home
when the hood is not in use. This also prevents small animals and rain water from
entering the duct work.
• 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, grease cup and grease-
laden surfaces clean. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan,
baffle, spaces, filter, grease tunnel or grease cup. 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.
