IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE ELECTRIC
SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOW-
ING:
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If
you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service
panel and lock service panel to prevent from being switched on
accidentally.
When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, se-
curely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the
service panel.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use
this range hood with an additional speed control device.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
• 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 cook-
ing flaming foods.
• 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.
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS
IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING*:
• 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 — a
violent steam explosion will result.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you al-
ready know how to operate it.
2. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3. The fire department is being called.
4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING — TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE ELECTRIC
SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOW-
ING:
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards
- including fire-rated construction.
• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to
prevent back drafting. 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 Con-
ditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and local code authorities.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage elec-
trical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
WARNING: “To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork”.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be
sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within
walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.
PLANNING
• Recommended mounting height is 24” to 30” above the cooking
surface.
• The hood should be mounted to the bottom of a standard wall
cabinet. If the hood must be mounted directly to a wall, secure
the hood to wall studs.
• All wiring must be properly grounded. Connection should be made
to a 110-120VAC lighting circuit (15 Amp) in the circuit breaker or
fuse box.
• DUCTING:
(a) RL6300-H installs with 7” round duct vented vertically.
RL5300-H installs with 5” round vented vertically. RL6100-H
installs with 3¼” x 10” duct vented vertically or horizontally.
(b) Make the duct run as short as possible. Try to avoid the use
of elbows in the duct. All joints should be properly sealed.
Do not use duct smaller than the discharge on the hood.
(c) Do not terminate duct in an attic space. Run duct to the out-
side, using a roof or wall cap to terminate the run.
