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 impurities, the bottom of the hood should

be at a minimum of 20” and at a maximum of 25” above the cooking
surface.

CAUTION

!

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY
TO PERSONS, 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.

2.

Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel

and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means
cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, 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
backdrafting. 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.

5.

8.

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

9.

10.

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 range hood ON when cooking at high heat or when

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

c)

Clean ventilating fans 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.

INSTALLER: Leave this manual to the homeowner.
