Install Filters
•
Place
two
rubber pads on opposite side of each filter
handle.
IMPORTANT:
• Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
•
It is the customer’s responsibility to contact a qualified electrical installer.
• If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that
the ground path is adequate. A 120-Volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, fused electrical supply is required on a separate 15-amp
circuit, fused on both sides of the line.
• DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure that the range hood is properly grounded.
• DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
IMPORTANT: Save this Installation Guide for electrical inspector’s use.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short-circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
• This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING:
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
• Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. DO NOT use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
•
Angle the filter into the slots at the back of the hood.
•
Open handle on the filter.
•
Release the handle once the filter fits into a resting
position.
•
Repeat to install the other filter.
•
The baffle filters channel grease released by cooking
foods into the grease trays and prevent flaming foods
on the cook top from damaging the inside of the range
hood. For this reason, the baffle filters must ALWAYS
be installed during range hood use.
•
The baffle filters should be cleaned once a month, or
as needed. See page 15 for cleaning instructions.
