Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, observe the following:

• Read all instructions before installing or operating 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.
• 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.
• This unit must be grounded.
• Clean grease filters frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flaming foods.
• Use appropriate pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

Setup and Installation

Before Installation

• Unpack the range hood and check for any shipping damage.
• Ensure all parts are present as listed in the packing contents.
• Verify the dimensions of your cabinet and the range hood.
• Decide on ducted or ductless (recirculating) installation. For ductless, ensure you have the optional CACF006 carbon filter.

Cleaning the Range Hood Surface

The range hood features an anti-fingerprint matte sandblasted finish, which is scratch-resistant and easy to clean.
