Use this range hood only in the manner intended by the  
manufacturer. If you have the questions, contact Chef Kitch 
at 1-800-929-0168 or email at [email protected].

Before servicing or cleaning, switch power off at service 
panel and lock service panel 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.

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.

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhaust-
ing 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 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.

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

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