disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device,
such as a tag, to the service panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes
and standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue
(chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. 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.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. Do not use this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
A. 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.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or
filter.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run
between the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood
to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will
reduce the performance of the hood. Use
as few of them as possible. Larger ducting
may be required for best performance with
longer duct runs.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round
metal ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal
the joints between ductwork sections.

WIRING
Note: This range hood must be properly
grounded. The unit should be installed by a
qualified electrician in accordance with all
applicable national and local electrical
codes.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
WARNING - Improper grounding can result in
a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
33-7/16”
(85cm)
max
Set the electrical power supply within the space covered by the decorative flues.
Position the power socket at a maximum distance of 33-7/16” (85 cm) from where
the lead exits from the hood (see illustration alongside). Make sure this does not
interfere with the decorative flue (where the flue touches the wall).
Fit the plug into the power socket.

MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will
assure proper performance of the unit.
Grease Filters
The grease filters should be cleaned after
every 30 hours of operation. This range hood
has an operation timer which will alert you
after every 30 hours of use by lighting a red
LED above the “blower speed 0-1 button”.
Use a warm detergent solution. Grease filters
are dishwasher safe.
To take off the grease filters: at the handle, push the stop inwards and pull the filters
downwards.
Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will
help preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
● Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
● Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth
to avoid water marks.
● For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household
cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
● For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together
with cleaser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the
stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar the surface.
● DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
● DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may
adhere to the surface causing rust.
● DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds
to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these
compounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after
exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.

The blower speed 2 switch turns the blower on to medium-low running speed.
Pressing this switch a second time sets a TIMER which keeps the blower operating
at this speed for 10 minutes. The LED will blink during this time and the blower will
shut off automatically. Press this switch a third time to take off the Timer.
The blower speed 3 and blower speed 4 switches operate the same as blower
speed 2 switch except: Blower speed 3 is medium-high and blower speed 4 is
high.
After every 30 hours of operation, the LED above the “blower speed 1 switch” will
be illuminated (RED) and blink for 30 seconds after turning off the blower. This is
a reminder to clean the grease filters. Once the grease filters are cleaned and
installed, press in and hold the “light switch” button for approximately 2 seconds
during the blink of the LED.
HEAT SENTRY™
Your hood is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY™ thermostat. This thermostat is a
device that will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above
the cooking surface.
1) If blower is OFF - it turns blower ON to HIGH speed.
2) If blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns blower up to HIGH speed.
When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original
setting.
WARNING
The HEAT SENTRY thermostat can start the blower even if the hood is turned
OFF. When this occurs, it is impossible to turn the blower OFF with its switch.
If you must stop the blower, do it from the main electrical panel.
