SAFETY PROCEDURES FOR INSTALLING YOUR
NEW PRIZER HOOD (continued)
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to people, observe the following:
CAUTION – For general ventilation use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials or
vapors.
1. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified installer in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including re-rated construction.
2. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and gas exhaustion through the flue to prevent backdrafting.
Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), and the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local building code authorities.
3. When cutting/drilling into a wall or ceiling, avoid damage to electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
4. In-hood or in-line fans must be vented to the outdoors.
5. All range hoods should be connected to a dedicated, non-GFCI circuit to prohibit damage to components.
6. NEVER place a control switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
7. CAUTION – To reduce the risk of fire within walls or roofs, use only metal ductwork.
8. Install this hood in accordance with all requirements specified by the manufacturer of your cooktop/range.
9. Install this hood using required clearance from cooking surface to combustible material specified in cooktop
installation instructions.
READ & SAVE: UPON RECEIVING YOUR HOOD
• Any damage must be reported to Prizer Hoods prior to
installation. Once installed, no returns will be
accepted.
• The high degree of craftsmanship in the construction
and finish of your hood requires careful handling to
ensure proper installation.
• Do not remove your hood from its carton until you are
ready to hang it.
• Do not store your hood anywhere other than within the
carton. If it is necessary to remove your hood from the
carton, place it on a blanket or padded area that will
protect your hood from scratches or indentations.
• Remove all rings, watches, belt buckles and jackets
(snaps/zippers) to prevent scratches on the hood.
• Wearing cotton gloves are preferred. They will protect
the surface from fine scratches and eliminate
fingerprints.
• Do not lift the hood by its utensil rail. Place your
fingers under the lower reveal of the hood. Grasp
firmly and lift.
• If applicable, do not remove the protective covering
from your hood until the installation process is
complete. It will be necessary to remove only a small
portion on the back side for a wall mounted hood in
order to position in place.
• Located within the hood cavity (behind the baffles) are
component parts and halogen bulbs.
