SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

!WARNING

???Read all instructions before using this appliance.

???Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with these installation instructions.

???Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged electrical conduit or wires, if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

???To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, observe the following:

a)Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

b)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 Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

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

d)Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.

e)Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

f)Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the 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.

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

???Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet this is properly installed and grounded.

???Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

???Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

6Safety

!WARNING

???Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

???This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest Electrolux authorized servicer at (877) 435-3287, or at www.electroluxusa.com for examination, repair or adjustment.

???If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury, or death.

???Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

???Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause personal injury or property damage. Refer to these instructions and the accompany-ing Use & Care Manual. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified installer, service agency, or dealer.

???Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible material.

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

???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 cooking flaming foods.

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

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

INSTALLATION PLANNING

A qualified installer must complete the installation of this built-in appliance. Proper installation is your responsibility.

Carefully check the location where the hood is to be installed. The hood should be placed for convenient access. Make certain that electrical power can be provided in the selected location.

Plan the installation so that all minimum clearances are met or exceeded. Dimensions shown provide minimum clearances, unless otherwise noted.

The specified minimum cabinet depth and width must be provided.

Cabinet cutout dimensions must be used as indicated. All contact surfaces between the appliance and the cabinet must be solid and level.

Make certain that you have everything necessary to ensure a proper installation before proceeding.

DUCT PLANNING

!WARNING

???To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, ducted fans must be vented to outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.

???Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance can cause personal injury or property damage.

???To reduce the risk of fire, use only duct work materials deemed acceptable by state, municipal and local codes.

IMPORTANT

???Best performance is achieved by using round duct instead of rectangular, especially when elbows are required.

???If multiple elbows are needed, ensure that there is a minimum of 24??? of straight duct between any two elbows.

???Avoid ???S??? or ???back to back??? configurations caused by adjacent elbows.

???Thermal breaks, such as a short section of non-metallic duct, should be used in areas of extreme cold.

???A back-draft damper at the duct outlet may also be required.

???Do not use flexible metal duct.

???Do not use duct work that is smaller in cross-sectional area than the recommended size duct.

???Do not rely on duct tape alone to seal duct joints. Use sheet metal screws as require to support the duct weight.

???The vent hood and cooking appliance(s) must be removable if service is required.

???Be certain that the duct work does not interfere with floor joists or wall studs.

???It is important to keep a minimum number of turns in the duct run, and to keep the run as short as possible.

???Do not restrict the air flow by reducing the duct cross-sectional areas when making hard joints or squeezing through a tight area.

???With concrete slab construction, ???box-in??? the duct work to prevent it from collapsing when the wet concrete is poured. Also allow room for electrical conduit.

???Cross-drafts or air currents caused by adjacent open windows or doors, HVAC outlets, and ceiling fans reduce vent efficiency.

12 DuctPreparation

IMPORTANT

???Tape all duct joints securely to prevent combustion by-products, smoke or odors from entering the home. This will also improve the efficiency of the system.

???Do not exhaust more than one vent into a single duct run.

???Only use ductwork constructed of materials deemed acceptable by state, municipal and local codes.

Refer to the table below for recommended maximum straight lengths of duct to provide adequate performance.

Refer to the table below for recommended sheet metal elbows, transitions, and wall cap equivalent straight lengths.

Recommended sheet metal elbows, transition, and wall cap equivalent straight lengths

CabinetPreparation 13

PREPARING THE CABINET

!WARNING

???Failure to provide proper minimum clearance may result in a fire or safety hazard.

???To reduce the risk of personal injury caused by reaching over a hot appliance, cabinet storage space located directly above the cooktop should be avoided.

???Do not store combustible materials or items adversely affected by heat in cabinet areas above the appliance.

???Follow the instructions regarding minimum safe clearances and installation location. Failure to do so may result in a fire or safety hazard.

Minimum hood clearances are zero inches (0???) to the rear, sides and top of the hood.

Thirty inches (30???) is the minimum distance between the bottom of the hood and any cooking surface.

Maximum effective clearance from cooking surface to bottom of hood is 36??? (914mm).
