IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

b) Sufficient air is needed for 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.

c) When cutting or drilling into the

wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

g) Do not install this hood over cooktops that burn solid fuel.

h) Provided a larger distance is not given by the manufacturer of the cooktop, follow the minimum safety distances between a cooktop and the bottom of the hood given in the "Appliance dimensions" section of this manual.

If local building codes require a greater safety distance, follow their requirement.

If there is more than one appliance beneath the hood and they have different minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.

i) Never connect an exhaust hood to an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue, or room ventilating ductwork.

j) Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.

k) Any fittings, sealant, or materials used to install the ductwork must be made of approved non-flammable materials.

d) Ducted hoods must always be vented to the outdoors.

e) Do not use this hood with any solid-state speed control device.

f) Do not use an extension cord to connect the appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance, (e.g. danger of overheating).

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
