  CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
  CAUTION: To reduce risk of fi re and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside – do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings, attics or into crawl spaces, or garages.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when fl ambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or fi lter.
• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

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

• SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fi tting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the fl ames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – you may get burned.
• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
  • You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
  • The fi re is small and contained in the area where it started.
  • The fi re department is being called.

• Do not ground to a gas pipe.
• Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure range hood is properly grounded.
• Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.
  A copy of the above code standards can be obtained from: National Fire Protection Association 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02169-7471 CSA International 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road Cleveland, OH 44131-5575

IMPORTANT

• Save Installation Instructions for electrical inspector’s use.
• The range hood must be connected with copper wire only.
• The range hood should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (Or circuit breaker) box through metal electrical conduit.
• Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 – latest edition** and all local codes and ordinances.
• A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply conduit (at the range hood and at the junction box).

BEFORE INSTALLING THE HOOD

1. For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.
   CAUTION:Vent unit to outside of building, only.

2. At least two people are necessary for installation.

3. Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings, consult a Qualified Installer, check if they perfectly fit with your cabinet/wall.

4. Do not use flex ducting.

5. COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional back draft damper installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.

6. Make up air: Local building codes may require the use of Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted Ventilation Systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

Ducting Options
Closely follow the instructions set out in this manual. All responsability, for any eventual inconveniences, damages or fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this manual, is declined. Ducting version The hood is equipped with a 6” (15.2 cm) round transition for discharge of fumes to the outside.

Ductless (Recirculating)
In cases where it should not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to the outside. Attach a charcoal filter and the deflector on the duct cover support bracket. Fumes and vapours are recycled through the top grille by means of a duct connected to the transition and the transition mounted on the deflector.

Preparation
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed. Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ ceiling. Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.

Recommended installation height:
Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference. The lower the hood is above the cooktop, the more efficient the capturing of cooking odors, grease and smoke.

CAUTION
For gas cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 30” (76.2 cm) above the cooking surface. For electric/induction cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 24” (61 cm) above the cooking surface. There is no maximum mounting height, however, we recommend mounting the hood no greater than 36” (91.4 cm) above the cooking surface. For every inch (2.54 cm) above 36” (91.4 cm), fume and moisture capture efficiency diminishes at an increasing rate and may not deliver an acceptable level of ventilating performance. This hood is intended for household use. PLEASE READ THE INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATION. Check your ceiling height and hood height before selecting your hood
