2. Important Safety Information
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, observe the following:
- Read all instructions before using this appliance.
- Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
- 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.
- When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
- Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
- Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed control device.
- To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
- 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.
- Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
- Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

4.2 Ducting Connection
The range hood requires a 6-inch round duct for exhaust. A duct collar is provided. Securely attach the duct collar to the top of the range hood using a strong construction adhesive, ensuring an airtight seal. Allow the adhesive to cure completely before proceeding with mounting. Connect the ductwork to the collar, sealing all joints with metal duct tape to prevent air leaks.

4.3 Mounting the Unit
The unit is mounted to the underside of your kitchen cabinet. It is crucial to ensure the cabinet structure can support the weight of the range hood (approximately 34 pounds). Use appropriate fasteners for your cabinet material. If your cabinet has a recessed bottom, consider adding a supporting block to provide a flat and secure mounting surface. The mounting holes are positioned near the edges; ensure your chosen fasteners provide a strong bite into the supporting structure.
4.4 Electrical Connection
Connect the range hood to a grounded electrical outlet. The unit operates on 2.3E+2 Volts. Ensure the electrical supply meets local codes and the range hood's requirements. The power cord length is approximately 12 inches; an extension may be required depending on your outlet location.
