Important Safety Information
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, observe the following:
- Install this range hood in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
- Always disconnect power to the range hood at the circuit breaker before servicing or cleaning.
- Ensure proper ventilation. This unit is designed for ducted or ductless (recirculating) operation. If ducting, ensure the ductwork is properly sealed and vented outdoors.

Ventilation Options (Ducted/Ductless)
The range hood supports both ducted and ductless configurations:
- Ducted Installation: The unit has a 6-inch round top vent and includes a 6.5ft aluminum exhaust pipe. This configuration vents cooking fumes and odors outside your home.
- Ductless (Recirculating) Installation: For ductless use, a carbon filter (Part # CF-Y, sold separately) must be installed. This filter removes odors and grease from the air before recirculating it back into the kitchen.
