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.

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.

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. For this version only: purchase the Ductless Recirculating Kit. Minimum Duct Size: 6” Round Pipe.

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.

Installation

Prepare location

• It is recommended that the vent system be installed before hood is installed.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
• Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you select your hood.

1. Disconnect power.

2. Determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or nonvented.

CFM Reduction System

Before operating your hood:
Some States and Provinces of the US & Canada restrict the maximum exhausting airflow of range hoods. Airflow is measured as cubic feet per minute (CFM). These maximum levels allowed are detailed in the local code of your area. Please check local codes to find out if you need to restrict the maximum airflow of your hood. If your local code mandates a maximum airflow level below the maximum airflow of this hood (i.e. 400 CFM), please execute the procedure below to reduce the maximum airflow.

With blower and light turned Off

• Press and hold both buttons at the same time for 3 sec you will hear a beep and the icon lights (no edge) will illuminat for 3 seconds.
• This action will disable speed 4 and effectively lower the maximum airflow to > 300 CFM.

Maintenance

Cleaning
Do not spray cleaners directly to the control while cleaning the Hood. The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products.
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

WARNING:
Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks. Therefore, we recommend oserving these instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.

Grease Filter
Traps cooking grease particles. This must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Replacing a LED Lamp
The LED lights are replaceable by a service technician only. See “Who to contact” section in the warranty for service contact information.

Charcoal Filter
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through disposable charcoal filters that help remove smoke and odors.
The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned.
They must be replaced.
The charcoal filters are clipped inside of each metal grease filter (mounting instructions included with charcoal filters kit). The charcoal filters should be replaced every 4-6 months (depending on hood usage).

NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an automatic dishwasher.

NOTE: Charcoal filters are not included with the hood. They must be ordered from your supplier. Order the needed kit specifying your hood model and width size.

Charcoal filter placement (Recirculating accessories)
