WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer at the address or telephone number
listed in the warranty.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off
at service panel and lock service disconnecting
means to prevent power from being switched on
accidentally. When the service 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 qualified personnel 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 additional solid-state
speed control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded and protected by a
GFCI.
10.
Suitable for use in damp locations only when installed
in a GFCI PROTECTED branch-circuit.
11.
This unit is not designed to be used with a charcoal
grill.
12. When applicable local regulations comprise more
restrictive installation and/or certification
requirements, the aforementioned requirements
prevail on those of this document and the installer
agrees to conform to these at his own expenses.
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.: Crêpes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fans, filters or
exhaust ducts.
d) 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.
BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. IF THE
FLAMES DO NOT GO OUT IMMEDIATELY,
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be
burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths
or towels – This could cause a violent steam
explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you
know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area
where it started.
C. The fire department has been called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION
1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to
exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and
vapors.
2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or
unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray,
construction dust, etc. off power unit.
3. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes
overheated. The motor will restart when it will be
cooled down. If the motor continues to shut off and
restart, have the hood serviced.
4. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom
of the hood must be located at a minimum distance
of 36" above cooking surface.
5. Two installers are recommended because of the
large size and weight of this hood.
6. 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 ceiling or into attics,
crawl space or garage.
7. This product is equipped with a thermostat which
may start blower automatically. To reduce the risk
of injury and to prevent power from being switched
on accidentally, switch power off at service panel
and lock or tag service panel.
8. Please read specification label on product for
further information and requirements.

never install a cool beam, a dichroïc lamp, a lamp not suitable for use in
recessed luminaires or identified for use in enclosed fixtures.
WARNING
!
13. CARE
Baffle Filters
The baffle filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. Wash more often
if your cooking style generates greater grease like frying foods or wok cooking.
Remove baffle filters by pushing them towards the front of the hood and rotating filters downward.
Baffle filters are dishwasher safe. Allow filters to dry completely before reinstalling them in the hood.
Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the
filter may occur if using phosphate detergent or as a result of local water conditions—but this will
not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.
Grease Drip Rail
The grease drip rail should be cleaned frequently. Lift it out from the hood and use a warm detergent
solution. As for the baffle filters, wash more often if your cooking style generates greater grease
like frying foods or wok cooking. Allow grease drip rail to dry completely before reinstalling it in the
hood.
Blowers Cleaning (Internal)
Remove the filters in order to access the blowers. Vacuum blowers to clean. Do not immerse in
water.
Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel cleaning:
Do:
• Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag
soaked with warm water and mild soap or
liquid dish detergent.
• Always clean in the direction of original polish
lines.
• Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3
times) after cleaning. Wipe dry completely.
• You may also use a specialized household
stainless steel cleaner.
Don’t:
• Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any
other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
• Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
• Allow dirt to accumulate.
• Let plaster dust or any other construction
residues reach the hood. During construction/
renovation, cover the hood to make sure no
dust sticks to stainless steel surface.
Avoid when choosing a detergent:
• Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack stainless steel.
• Any products containing: chloride, fluoride, iodide, bromide will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.
• Any combustible products used for cleaning such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol, etc.,
are highly explosive and should never be used close to a range.

HEAT SENTRY™
This hood is equipped with a Heat Sentry™ thermostat. This thermostat is a device that will turn
on the blower if it senses excessive heat above the cooking surface.
1) If blower is OFF - it turns blower ON to medium speed.
2) If blower is already ON speed will remain the same.
When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original setting.
The HEAT SENTRY can start the blower during a range top fire or other excessive
heat situations even if the hood is turned off. In this case, it is impossible to turn
the blower OFF using control panel switch. To stop the blower, set the main
power switch located behind the baffle filters in OFF position, if it is possible to
do so safely.
