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” (15.2 cm) Round Pipe.

CAUTION
For gas cooktop & range installations: mount the hood so the bottom is at least 27” (68.58 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 27” above the cooking surface. For every inch (2.54) cm above 27”, 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.

Mounting the duct cover bracket

1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the canopy hood will be installed. Disconnect power.

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. 600 CFM), please execute the procedure below to reduce the maximum airflow.

1. Turn the motor OFF.

2. Press the ON/OFF (1) and Intensive speed (5) buttons together for 3 seconds. You will hear a beep and all control lights will illuminate for 3 seconds.
   This action will Disable speeds 3 and 4 and effectively lower the Maximum airflow to > 300 CFM.

3. Locate the CFM certification sticker in the hardware pack.

4. Peel and Affix this sticker to a visible area in the blower. This sticker provides official certification to your local inspector that this hoods maximum airflow has been reduced to > 300 CFM.
