Broan QDE30 Instrução De Instalação

- 2 -

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.

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.

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.

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.

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not 
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed 
control device.

8.

To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

This unit must be grounded.

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.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat
or when cooking flambeing foods (e.g.: crêpes 
Suzette, cherries jubilee, peppercorn beef flambé).

Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should 
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.

SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie 
sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE 
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. IF THE 
FLAMES DO NOT GO OUT IMMEDIATELY,
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may
be burned.

DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or 
towels – This could cause a violent steam explosion.

Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you 

know how to operate it.

B. The fire is small and contained in the area where 

it started.

C. The fire department has been called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or 
unbalanced impeller, keep drywall spray, construction 
dust, etc. off power unit.

Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will 
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes 
overheated. The motor will restart when it will cool 
down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart, 
have the hood serviced.

The minimum hood distance above cooktop must 
not be less than 20” for an electric range, and 24” for 
a gas range. A maximum of 30” above cooktop is 
highly recommended for best capture of cooking 
impurities.

Two installers are recommended because of the  
large size and weight of this hood.

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.

Because of the high exhausting capacity of this
hood, you should make sure enough air is entering
the house to replace exhausted air by opening a
window close to or in the kitchen.

Use with approved cord-connection kit only.

Please read specification label on product for 
further information and requirements.

All demonstrator range hoods (model numbers ending
by D) are not for sale, unless their original power cord 
is removed.
