WARNING
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly,
fire or shock may result causing property damage or
personal injury.
WARNING
Do not repair, replace or remove any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manuals. Improper installation, service or maintenance
can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this
manual for guidance. All other servicing should be done
by an authorized servicer.
WARNING
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
‒ Installation work and electrical wiring must be done
by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-
rated construction.
‒ 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
guideline 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.
WARNING
The applicable regulations of the energy supply
companies and the regional construction regulations
must be observed when installing the hood.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Grease deposits in the grease filter can catch fire.
Never work with a naked flame near the appliance (e.g.
flambéing). Install the unit near a heat-producing
appliance for solid fuels (e.g. wood or coal) only if there
is a closed, non-detachable cover. There must be no
flying sparks.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Operating several gas burners at the same time gives
rise to a great deal of heat. The ventilation appliance
may become damaged or catch fire. The ventilation
appliance must only be combined with gas burners that
do not exceed the maximum total output of 61,000
BTU/
hr (18 kW). If 41,000 BTU/hr (12 kW) is exceeded, the
local regulations concerning room ventilation, room
size, and combination with ventilation devices in exhaust
and recirculating operation must be followed.
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be
sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or
garages.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
