4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
CAUTION:
1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
2. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, the hood must be exhausted to outside air. Never exhaust
into a wall, an attic or a concealed area in the building. This can create a potential hazard.
3. Consult a licensed ventilation contractor or qualified technician for proper installation of exhaust ducting. Locate
the cooking area for minimum cross drafts-away from doors and windows, when possible.
4. Ducts must be of adequate size and duct runs should be as short as possible. Where turns are necessary, keep
turning radius as large and as smooth as possible.
5. The ducting must be air tight. Use a minimum of 2 sheet metal screws at every duct joint. Then, seal the duct
joints with high quality duct tape.
6. Only use ductwork constructed of materials deemed acceptable by state, municipal and local codes.

1.
Be extra careful when unpacking the range hood.
Although stainless steel is a very hard material, it will
scratch easily and is difficult to repair cosmetically. When removing the hood from the box, set it on its bottom with
cardboard or foam blocks under each end to avoid damaging the filters or scratching the underside of the hood.
2.
Be extra careful when removing the stainless steel duct covers, When lifting, the top and bottom
sections of the duct cover must be held together from the ends; otherwise, the inside section may slip-out
and fall when tilted, causing damage
.
3.
Be extra careful not to drop tools on the top of the hood.
We recommend that throughout the installation, the
hood top be covered with soft towels to help protect the finished surfaces from dropped screw drivers, screws, etc.
PART 2 PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
1. Decide the location the ductwork will run between the range hood and the outside wall or roof cap.
2. Short, straight duct systems will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct systems with numerous elbows and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Limit the duct
length and use of elbows as much as possible.
4. Install either a roof or a wall cap. ESH5200 range hoods come with dampers attached to the hood. The roof or
wall cap should NOT have a damper blade or should have the damper blade removed. Connect the metal ductwork
to the cap and work back towards the hood location.
5. Installation should be performed by a qualified person, in compliance with all the current building codes. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages caused by improper installation.
THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY LINE FOR ALL HOODS MUST BE LONG ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR THE HOOD TO
BE DETACHED AND PLACED ON A COUNTER TOP FOR SERVICE.
