TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1.
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address
or telephone number listed in the warranty.
2.
Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service
panel and lock service disconnecting means 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.
3.
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.
4.
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting
of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent backdrafting. 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.
5.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6.
Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7.
Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed control device.
8.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9.
This unit must be grounded.
10.
When applicable local regulations comprise more restrictive
installation and/or certification requirements, the aforementioned
requirements prevail on those of this document and the installer
agrees to conform to these at his own expense.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a)
Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
b)
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c)
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts.
d)
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the
size of the surface element.
1.
For indoor use only.
2.
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
3.
To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced
impeller, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.
4.
Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically
shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. The motor will
restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off
and restart, have the hood serviced.
5.
The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less
than 24". For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom
of the hood should be at a maximum of 30" above cooking
surface.
6.
Two installers are recommended because of the large size and
weight of this unit.
7.
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to
duct air outside — Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls
or ceiling or into attics, crawl space or garage.
8.
Because of the high exhausting capacity of this unit, you
should make sure enough air is entering the house to replace
exhausted air by opening a window close to or in the kitchen.
9.
To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, the Broan Elite
EW48 Series models should only be installed with their own
built-in blower.
10.
When used in recirculation mode, to reduce the risk of fire and
shock, use only conversion kit model ARKEW48.
11.

and requirements.
