TO PERSON(S) OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1.  Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If

you  have  questions,  contact  the  manufacturer  at  the  address  or

telephone number listed in the warranty.

such as a tag, to the service panel.

3.  Installation  work  and  electrical  wiring  must  be  done  by  qualified

personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,

including fire-rated construction codes and standards.

4.  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

guideline  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.

8.  Use only metal ductwork.
9.  Do not use this unit with any other solid-state speed control device.
10. Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or

return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

11. GROUNDING INSTRUCTION: The 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.

The 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.

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 flambéing

food  (i.e.  Crêpes  Suzette,  Cherries  Jubilee,  Peppercorn  Beef

Flambé).

c)  Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to

accumulate on fan or filters.

d)  Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size

of the surface element.

1.  For indoor use only.
2.  For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous

or explosive materials and vapors.

3.  To  avoid  motor  bearing  damage  and  noisy  and/or  unbalanced

impeller, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

4.  Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically

shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. The motor will restart

when  it  will  cool  down.  If  the  motor  continues  to  shut  off  and

restart, have the hood serviced.

5.  The  bottom  of  the  hood  MUST  NOT  BE  LESS  than  24”  and

recommended  at  a  maximum  of  36”  above  cooktop  for  best

capture of cooking impurities.

6.  Two  installers  are  recommended  because  of  the  size  of  this

hood.

7.  To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct

air outside. Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings

or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

8.  Be careful when installing the decorative flue and hood, they may

have sharp edges.
