Recommendations:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed control device.
5. This unit must be grounded

WARNING – 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 codes and standards.

b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gasses 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 to the outdoors.

e) Some TRADE-WIND® 7200 Series Range Hoods are for wall mounting only.  For safe and secure wall mounting, the TRADE-WIND® Hood should be mounted to a solid vertical surface of sufficient width to allow for mounting of the Hood. The horizontal surface should extend from a vertical plane to the point directly in front of the exhaust roof cap (or wall cap).

f) The Hood should be installed with a MINIMUM of three (3) feet of weather proof roof coverage on all sides that are not protected from direct rain by an adjacent wall.

g) It is also required that all duct work and roof openings be thoroughly sealed with the applicable tape and/or roof sealant to prevent ingress of water.

WARNING -- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.

CAUTION –To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside – Do not vent exhaust air into spaces with in walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

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. 
4. Locate the cooking area for minimum cross drafts—away from doors and windows, when possible.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Only use ductwork constructed of materials deemed acceptable by state, municipal and local codes. 
8. Plan the installation so that all minimum clearances are met or exceeded.  Dimensions shown provide minimum clearances, unless otherwise specified

IMPORTANT:  Hood is 1/8” narrower than widths shown below.

WARNING!  Following are Manufacturer’s Suggestions.  Always Observe Local Building Codes.

Hoods installed in custom canopies constructed of combustible materials should be installed with the combustible material structure a minimum of 36” above the cooking surface.  Hoods installed in custom canopies constructed of non-combustible materials, should be installed with the non-combustible material structure a minimum of 30” above the cooking surface.  Follow all instructions regarding minimum safe clearances and installation location.  Failure to do so may result in a safety hazard or fire.  To reduce the risk of fire use only metal ductwork.

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 complete appliance must be properly grounded at all times when electrical power is applied.  Do not ground the appliance 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.  

It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that a qualified person performs the electrical connection of this appliance. The electrical installation, including minimum supply wire size, must comply with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 (or latest revision) and local codes and ordinances. A copy of this standard may be obtained from:

National Fire Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169-7471

    Observe all National and local governing codes and ordinances.  Have all electrical installation done by a qualified electrical installer.  This Hood requires a 120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical supply of an individual properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15 or 20 Amp circuit breaker.
The TRADE-WIND^® 7200 Series Range Hood is supplied with a 6.0 Amp three speed fan control.

For safety precautions, each Ventilation Hood should be installed in a GFCI protected branch circuit.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Wire connections: (See Diagram Below)
There are 3 wires on the front panel that require connection.

BLACK - 120 VAC from electrical panel (usually black)
WHITE - Neutral from electrical panel (white)
GREEN - Ground from electrical panel (usually green)

CAUTION:

The neutral wire (white) must only be connected to the white neutral wire coming in from the electrical panel.

MOUNTING HOLES:

Because the TRADE-WIND^® 7200 Series Range Hood was designed for all applications, no mounting holes have been pre-drilled. This allows for custom applications for mounting. The hood should be attached to the framing through the top and back, whenever possible.  Remove the filters.  Mark and drill screw holes through the hood as required.  Secure the hood by driving screws (provided by others) through the screw holes. 

**NOTE:  DRILLING THROUGH STAINLESS STEEL REQUIRES TITANIUM DRILL BITS.  BE CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THROUGH THE UL LABEL OR INTO THE HOOD’S ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

OPERATING CONTROLS:

Always activate the ventilator when using cooking appliances.  Activate the ventilator a few minutes before starting to cook to establish an airflow pattern within the room.  Adjust the fan speed as needed.  Adjust the dimmable halogen lights as desired. 

WARNING:  Do NOT operate the blower / ventilator system without the filters in place, or with dirty, grease laden filters.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS:

Do not operate the blower at a speed higher than necessary to remove the cooking exhaust.  Turn off the unit once the smoke and cooking odors have been eliminated.  Clean filters and grease laden surfaces often to improve efficiency.

CARE & CLEANING:

Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain performance and appearance, while also ensuring safe operation.        The frequency of cleaning should be adjusted 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.  The commercial-style baffle filters should have the long slots running front to back.

The filters may be cleaned by hand washing in hot water using a mild detergent solution, or by placing them in a dishwasher. Dry the filters completely before using again.  Stainless steel surfaces should be cleaned with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.

CAUTION: 

If a commercially available stainless steel cleaner is used, it is important to read the labels for chlorine compounds.  Chlorine is a corrosive substance.  If these compounds are present, 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.  Most common scrubber type pads will scratch the hood.

HALOGEN LIGHT BULBS:

Hoods are designed for PAR 20 halogen lamps.  They can be purchased at most home and/or grocery stores, 
e.g., McCoys, Lowe’s, Fry’s, Kroger, Albertsons, True Value, Home Depot, etc.

We endeavor to incorporate the best technology provided to our industry, in manufacturing the TRADE-WIND® products, therefore we reserve the right to change models, mode of operation, and specification without prior notice.
