published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and

hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

3.  To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced 

impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

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.  For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood 

should be a minimum of 24” and a maximum of 30” above the 

cooking surface.

6.  Two installers are recommended because of the large size and 

weight of this hood.

7.  To reduce the risk of fi re and to properly exhaust air on a ducted 

installation, be sure to duct air outside. Do not exhaust air into spaces 

within walls or ceiling or into attics, crawl spaces, or garage.

blower automatically. To reduce the risk of injury and to prevent 

power from being switch on accidentally, switch power off at

should make sure enough air is entering the house to replace 

exhausted air. Open a window close to or in the kitchen.

hood should only be installed with its own built-in blower.
