NOTE:
•
The Hood does not cool or condition the air exhausted into the space. In some
installations, it may be necessary to consult a HVAC specialist to confirm that proper
room air exchange is occurring and that the on-site air conditioning system is capable of
handling the anticipated heat load created by any additional cooking equipment.
• Exhaust ventilation is recommended for areas in which recirculating hoods are operated. Giles recommends 50
CFM per linear foot of hood space. This could vary based on local codes and site-specific situations .
• The Hood and it’s companion appliance must be positioned in a suitable indoor location on a level floor, and placed
as near as possible to the power source (wall receptacle, disconnect box, etc.), which will be supplying the Hood
and appliance power.
• Consider that the sound level of the Hood while operating is approximately 65 dB.
• DO NOT block or obstruct the discharge area around the exhaust Air Diverter on the Hood top. Doing so may
restrict airflow through the Hood and significantly reduce capture performance. It is recommended that a
sufficient clearance be maintained between the top of the Air Diverter and ceiling to facilitate easy movement,
should the need arise, or for removal of the Hood when directly mounted to the appliance.
