All wall and floor openings where the vent hood is installed must be
sealed.
Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given by the manufacturer before making any
cutouts. MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION- The installation of this Hood must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly Federal
Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280). Three wire power supply
must be used and the appliance wiring must be revised. See electrical requirements on page 1.
■
DO NOT use 4" laundry-type wall caps.
■
Flexible-type ductwork is not recommended.
■
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Be sure a fresh air supply is
available.
■
Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a fire.
■
Electrical ground is required on this Hood.
■
If cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, non-metallic gaskets or other materials, DO NOT use

■
Be sure all the range and/or cooktop controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before
using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the
spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the range or cooktop frequently so grease from
cooking vapors does not accumulate on them.

Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power
supply before servicing this appliance.
