TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR 
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1.

  Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. 

If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address 
or telephone number listed in the warranty.

2.

  Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service 

panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent 
power from being switched on accidentally. When the service 
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a 
prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

3.

 Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by 

qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable codes 
and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and 
standards.

4.

  Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting 

of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment 
to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment 
manufacturer’s guidelines 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.

5.

  When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage 

electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

6.

  Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

7.

  Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed control device.

8.

  To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

9.

  This unit must be grounded.

10.

 When applicable local regulations comprise more restrictive 

installation and/or certification requirements, the aforementioned 
requirements prevail on those of this document and the installer 
agrees to conform to these at his own expense.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

a)

  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.

b)

 Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when 

flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, 
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

c)

  Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed 

to accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts.

d)

  Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the 

size of the surface element.

1.

  For indoor use only.

2.

 For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust 

hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

3.

  To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced 

impeller, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

4.

  Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically 

shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. The motor will 
restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off 
and restart, have the hood serviced.

5.

  The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less 

than 24". For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom 
of the hood should be at a maximum of 30" above cooking 
surface.

6.

  Two installers are recommended because of the large size and 

weight of this unit.

7.

  To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to 

duct air outside — Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls 
or ceiling or into attics, crawl space or garage. 

8.

 Because of the high exhausting capacity of this unit, you 

should make sure enough air is entering the house to replace 
exhausted air by opening a window close to or in the kitchen.

9.

  To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, the Broan Elite 

EW48 Series models should only be installed with their own 
built-in blower.

10. 

When used in recirculation mode, to reduce the risk of fire and 
shock, use only conversion kit model ARKEW48.

11.

 Please read specification label on product for further information 

and requirements.

    WARNING

CAUTION

    WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE 
EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE 
THE FOLLOWING*:

1.

  SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet or 

metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT
