WARNING - TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSON, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all appli-
cable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction. Switch power off at service panel and lock
the service disconnection means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally during installa-
tion.
B. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
C. All hoods must always exhaust to the outdoors.
D. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Local building codes may require the use of make-up
air. Consult your local HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area. Follow the heating
equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Condition-
ing Engineers (ASHRAE), and state, municipal and local code authorities. The correct voltage, fre-
quency and amperage must be supplied to the appliance from a dedicated, grounded circuit which is
protected by a properly sized circuit breaker or time delay fuse.
E. Warning - To reduce risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
F. Use this unit in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufac-
turer.
