1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Tieasy 36-inch Wall Mount Range Hood, Model USGD1090. This manual provides essential information for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of your new range hood. Please read these instructions thoroughly before installation and use, and keep them for future reference.

2. Safety Information
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, observe the following:
- 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.
- This unit must be grounded.
- Do not use this range hood with any external 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.
