~, WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire only use metal ductwork.
~Any fittings, sealant, or materials used to install the ductwork must be made of approved
~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:
–22" (550 mm) above electric cooktops,
–30" (762 mm) above gas cooktops,
–26" (650 mm) above an open electric grill or an open electric boiler/fryer.
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.
~Do not install this hood over cooktops burning solid fuel.
~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).
~Never connect an exhaust hood to an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue, or room ventilating ductwork. Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.

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