1. Keep fan, filters and grease laden surfaces clean.  Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on filter or fan.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods.
3. Use high range settings on range only when necessary.  Heat oil slowly on low or medium setting.
4. Don’t leave range unattended when cooking.
5. Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type and amount of food being prepared.

WARNING:  TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:

1. 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.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—YOU MAY BE BURNED.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels.  A violent steam explosion will result.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
   •  
     • You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it.
     • The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
     • The fire department is being called.
     • You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

CAUTION:

1. For general ventilating use only.  Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
2. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, the hood must be exhausted to outside air.  Never exhaust into a wall, an attic or a concealed area in the building.  This can create a potential hazard.
3. Consult a licensed ventilation contractor or qualified technician for proper installation of exhaust ducting.  Locate the cooking area for minimum cross drafts-away from doors and windows, when possible.
4. Ducts must be of adequate size and duct runs should be as short as possible.  Where turns are necessary, keep turning radius as large and as smooth as possible.
5. The ducting must be air tight.  Use a minimum of 2 sheet metal screws at every duct joint.  Then, seal the duct joints with high quality duct tape.
6. Only use ductwork constructed of materials deemed acceptable by state, municipal and local codes.

WALL-MOUNTED HOOD PARTS LIST

1. Be extra careful when unpacking the range hood.  Although stainless steel is a very hard material, it will scratch easily and is difficult to repair cosmetically.  When removing the hood from the box, set it on its bottom with cardboard or foam blocks under each end to avoid damaging the filters or scratching the underside of the hood. 
2. Be extra careful when removing the stainless steel duct covers,  When lifting, the top and bottom sections of the duct cover must be held together from the ends; otherwise, the inside section may slip-out and fall when tilted, causing damage.
3. Be extra careful not to drop tools on the top of the hood.  We recommend that throughout the installation, the hood top be covered with soft towels to help protect the finished surfaces from dropped screw drivers, screws, etc. 

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

1. Decide the location the ductwork will run between the range hood and the outside wall or roof cap.
2. Short, straight duct systems will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct systems with numerous elbows and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood.  Limit the duct length and use of elbows as much as possible.
4. Install either a roof or a wall cap.  ESH5200 range hoods come with dampers attached to the hood.   The roof or wall cap should NOT have a damper blade or should have the damper blade removed.  Connect the metal ductwork to the cap and work back towards the hood location.
5. Installation should be performed by a qualified person, in compliance with all the current building codes.  The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damages caused by improper installation.

The electric supply line FOR ALL HOODS must be long enough to allow for the hood to be detached and placed on a counter top for service.

5.  Secure the range hood to the wall in both locations using the supplied screws and washers.

WARNING:
For maximum ventilation performance, the bottom of the hood should be 30 - 36 inches (76.2 - 91.4 cm) above the cooking surface (minimum is 24”).  This would typically result in the bottom of the hood being 66 - 72 inches (167.6 - 182.9 cm) above the floor.  These dimensions provide for safe and efficient operation of the hood.  Always observe local building codes.

6.  Position the metal bracket that holds the top section of the stainless steel duct cover in place and attach with the enclosed mounting screws.  If at least one wall or ceiling joist is not available, use drywall anchors. 

IMPORTANT:  The bracket must be properly aligned; otherwise the duct cover will be slanted.

IMPORTANT:  If any screws are dropped into the duct cover, they must be removed; otherwise, they could block the damper, rattle or worse, fall into the motor / blower. 

8.  Connect the electrical wires.  See Part 5.

9.  Carefully assemble both telescopic sections of the stainless steel duct cover together and place on top of the hood.  IMPORTANT:  When lifted, the top and bottom sections must be held together from the top and or bottom; otherwise, the inside section will slip out and fall out when tilted over the hood possibly damaging the hood.  Note:  The inside telescopic section has two screw holes on the topside that align with holes on the duct cover mounting bracket.  Lift the inside section and attach to the bracket on both sides with the supplied screws.

WARNING:  Do not operate the range hood without the filters in place or with dirty, grease-laden filters.

Always activate the range hood when using cooking appliances.  For best performance, turn on the blower a few minutes before starting to cook to establish an airflow pattern within the room.  Adjust the fan speed as needed.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS:  Eliminate air currents in the hood vicinity by shutting nearby windows and doors, turning off ceiling fans and adjusting the adjacent heating and air conditioning outlets if necessary.  Place larger pans on the rear burners whenever possible.  Always use lids on cookware to retain heat and moisture.  Minimize the amount of liquid used to cook food.  Select cookware of proper size, material and construction for the cooking task being performed.  Clean filters and grease laden surfaces often to improve efficiency.

CARE AND CLEANING:  Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain performance and appearance, while also ensuring safe operation.  The frequency of cleaning should be according to the type and amount of cooking.  Best results will be achieved by cleaning soiled components as soon as possible.  Filters must be cleaned regularly and can be placed in the dishwasher.  Place on the TOP RACK to protect from the intensive heat of drying element.  To remove filter, pinch clip holder and pull down. 

CAUTION:  Most types of scrubber pads will scratch the hood.  If a glass or stainless steel cleaner is used, it is important to read the labels for chlorine or ammonia compounds.  Chlorine and ammonia are corrosive substances that may damage the range hood’s finish.  Many household products such as Windex with Ammonia-D and Zep contain ammonia.  It is best to NOT USE products with ammonia.  If these compounds have been used, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.  Follow polish manufacturer’s instructions.  Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain—never wipe across the grain.  After cleaning, reinstall the filters carefully.

LIGHTING:  To change the halogen bulbs, rotate the stainless steel light unit cover counter-clockwise.  Carefully pull the halogen bulb out of the fixture and replace with a 20-watt equivalent bulb.  Replace the cover.

PUSH BUTTON Control Models A  -  On & Off (Hood comes on at Speed 2) B  -  Reduce Blower Speed C  -  Increase Blower Speed D  -  Turbo-Boost.  Automatically decreases to Speed 2 after 10 minutes. E  -  Halogen Lights On & Off

WARNING:  Ensure that the power supply is disconnected before proceeding.  Verify that the power supply matches the ratings found on the appliance data label before proceeding.  The range hood must be properly grounded at all times when electrical power is applied.  Do not ground the range hood with the neutral (white) house supply wire.  A separate ground wire must be utilized.  Failure to complete electrical connections properly may result in damaged or non-functional systems.  Follow instructions carefully to ensure proper installation.
