4. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified personnel by all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
5. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhaustion of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel-burning equipment to prevent back-drafting.
6. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.
7. When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

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 in low or medium settings.
• Always turn the hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food.
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fans, filters or in exhaust ducts.
• 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*:

1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner.
2. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. IF THE FLAMES DO NOT GO OUT IMMEDIATELY, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
3. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be burned.
4. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels —This could cause a violent steam explosion.
5. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
   • You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you know how to operate it.
   • The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
   • The fire department has been called.
   • You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
6. Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

1. For indoor use only.
2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use it to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapours.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impeller, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off the power unit.
4. Install the vent hood in a location away from strong drafts, such as windows, door, and strong HVAC vent for best performance
5. The minimum hood distance above the cooktop must not be less than 25-5/8″. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be at a maximum of 29-1/2″ above the cooking surface.
6. Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this unit.
7. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside — Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.
8. Because of the high exhausting capacity of this unit, you should make sure enough, air is entering the house to replace exhausted air by opening a window close to or in the kitchen.
9. Always leave safety grills and filters in place. Without these components, operating blowers could catch onto hair, fingers and loose clothing.
10. The vent hood and filters should be cleaned frequently

COMPONENTS

DIMENSION

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

SELECT INSTALLATION TYPE

• Vented Installation
• Non-Vented / Recirculation Installation A 6″ round vent system is needed for installation (not included).
• The hood exhaust opening is 6″ round.
• The vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall.
• To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.

Rear Discharge
A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.

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

If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapours to the outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) version, fitting a charcoal filter and the deflector (not included, you can decide whether to use according to your installation environment). Fumes and vapours are recycled through the top grille.

Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using ventilation systems greater than the specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

CAUTION

• The vent system must terminate to the outdoors except for non-vented (recirculating) installations.
• Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
• Do not use a 4″ laundry-type wall cap (plastic). Only use a metal exterior exhaust vent.
• Use metal vents only. The rigid metal vent is recommended for best performance.
• All vent joints should be taped and sealed with 2″metal foil tape
• The length of the vent system and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.

For the Most Efficient and Quiet Operation

• Use no more than three 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24″ of straight vent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
• Do not install 2 elbows together.
• Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
• Use caulking to seal the exterior wall or roof opening around the cap. The size of the vent should be uniform.

Hood Mounting Screw Installation

1. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall where the hood will be installed.
2. Select a mounting height between a minimum of 25.6” and a suggested maximum of 29.53” above the range to the bottom of the hood. Mark a reference line on the wall.
3. Tape the template in place, aligning the template centerline and bottom of the template with the hood bottom line and with the centerline marked on the wall.

NOTE
Ensure that horizontal lines are level before marking hole locations.

WALL DRILLING AND BRACKET FIXING

As a first step, proceed with the following drawings:

• A vertical line up to the ceiling or up to the upper limit, at the centre of the area in which the hood is to be fitted.

• A horizontal line D at Y above the cooker hood.

Mark Points

• Mark a point (1) on the horizontal line D, 2.36″ to the vertical reference line.
• Repeat this operation on the other side, checking that the three marks are levelled.
• Mark a point (2) on the horizontal line C, 2.36* to the vertical reference line.
• Repeat this operation on the other side, checking that the three marks are levelled.
• Mark a point (3) on the horizontal line B, 3.15″ to the vertical reference line.
• Repeat this operation on the other side, checking that the three marks are levelled.
