For best performance, the 300 Series should not be used above 
cooking surfaces with a BTU rating of more than 60,000 BTUs.
It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation 
clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The 
model/serial rating plate is located inside the range hood on

such as windows, doors and strong heating vents.

cooktop/range manufacturer installation instructions before 
making any cutouts.
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical 
Requirements” section.

available from your dealer.
All openings in ceiling and wall where range hood will be
