warning
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have

General Safety Precautions:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your range hood,
follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
1IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
warning
♦If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact PROLINE Customer Support. Do not
install or use a damaged hood.
♦Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range hood unless specifically recommend-
ed in the literature accompanying it.
♦Use the range hood only for its intended purpose as outlined in this manual. DO NOT use
this range hood to vent hazardous or explosive materials or vapors.
♦Do not tamper with the controls.
♦Never allow the filters to become blocked or clogged. Do not allow foreign objects, such as
cigarettes or napkins, to be sucked into the hood.
♦If the cooktop and range hood are near a window, use an appropriate window treatment.
Avoid long drapes or other window coverings that could blow over the cooktop and hood,
resulting in a fire hazard.
♦Always run the blower(s) while the cooktop is operating.
♦Do not leave children or pets alone or unattended in the area while the cooktop and range
hood are in use. .
♦The minimum vertical distance between the cooking surface and the exterior part of the
hood must be no less than 28” (71 cm). The vertical distance may be longer for the range
or cooktop being used.
To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:
1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or
filter.
To reduce the risk of injury to person in the event of a range top grease fire:
4. 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, EVACU-
ATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
5. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.
6. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish clothes or towels - a violent steam explosion may
result.

USER MANUAL | 3
1. Remove the stainless steel or aluminum filters from the bottom of the hood.
2. Locate the existing raised support screws (A) on each side of the internal
motor(s).
3. For each motor side, position charcoal filter over its support screw and rotate
to lock into place.
charcoal filter
(not always avaliable. check website for hood compatability)
We recommend venting your hood directly outdoors if at all possible. If you do
not have the option to vent your hood outside, charcoal filters are a convenient
alternative. These filters clean impurities and odors from the air as it recirculates
through your home. There are two styles of charcoal filters - round and square.
The type you receive with your order will depend on the model of your hood.
Please note: We recommend you replace your charcoal filters after 150 hours
of cooking, or every 3-6 months, depending on how often you cook.

height & venting requirements
♦allow 28-36” between the top of your
cooking surface and the bottom of
hood
♦vent vertically through the roof if
possible
♦vent through a side wall if you can-
not vent directly above your range
hood
♦use 6” or 8” round (or 3-1/4 x 10”
rectangular) metal ducting
♦use as few elbows as possible, with
no more than three 90° elbows.
♦make sure there is at least 24” of
straight vent between any elbows
♦use silver or duct tape to seal all
joints in the vent system
♦use caulking to seal exterior open-
ings around the cap
♦always use metal or aluminum ducts
for maximum airflow
♦always keep the duct clean to en-
sure proper airflow
For best operation, we recommend you:
DO NOT:
♦terminate the vent system into an attic or
other enclosed area
♦use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps
♦use plastic venting
warning
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too
low could result in heat damage and fire hazard. Hoods mounted too high will be
hard to reach and will lose performance and efficiency.
