1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to

exhaust hazardous or explosive material and
vapors.

5. Do not install this range hood in the bathroom or

in other wet rooms since electrical shock and
damage may result.

2. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not

use this product with any solid-state speed control
device.

b) 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
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

This range hood is designed to
discharge upward. For vertical
discharge, run duct works
between the hood location and
roof cap location.
To get the best result, use a
minimum number of transitons
and elbows.
Be sure to attach a roof cap to
avoid rain from entering the
exhaust duct.

2

The range hood unit must be mounted to a liner which has the
following dimensions. Install the liner securely after checking that
the opening size of the liner is the same as the figure below.

   • Ensure that the metal duct does not touch other metal housing

materials, otherwise fire or electric shock could result.

   • When the liner is installed in the wooden hood, the inside of the

wooden hood placed above the cooking surface must be fully covered
by the liner including bottom edges. Select a suitable liner according
to the size and shape of the wooden hood and install properly.

   • The liner should be installed tightly. If the liner installation is not

correct, the range hood unit may become detached and fall.

   • Wear working gloves to avoid injury.

CAUTION:

5. Explanation to the End User

(1) Referring to the Operation Manual, explain the operation of this range

hood to end users.

(2) The Installation Manual and Operation Manual should be given to
