WARNING
SUITABLE FOR USE IN HOUSEHOLD
COOKING AREA.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL
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 panel to

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 solid-state speed
control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only steel
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 cooking flaming foods.
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate

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 - violent steam explosion will result.

A. You know you have a Class ABC extin-
guisher and you already know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area
where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an
exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” pub-
lished by NFPA.
CAUTION
1. To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air,
be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust
air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into
attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
2. Take care when using cleaning agents or
detergents.
3. Avoid using food products that produce flames
under the Range Hood.
4. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to
exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and
vapors.
5. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/
or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray,
construction dust, etc. off power unit.
6. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which
will automatically shut off the motor if it becomes
overheated. The motor will restart when it cools
down. If the motor continues to shut off and
restart, have the hood serviced.
7. For best capture of cooking impurities, the
bottom of the hood should be a minimum of 24"
and a maximum of 30" above the cooking surface.
8. Thre installers are recommended because of

EXTERIOR BLOWER SELECTION
This product is designed for use with the EB6, EB9, EB12 or EB15 Exterior
Ventilators.
The exterior ventilator must be UL listed for Canadian and U.S. use, and evaluated
for use with solid state speed control rated 120V, 60 Hz, 6.0 A max.
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 the exterior blower. Connect round
metal ductwork to exterior blower and work
back towards hood location. Use duct tape
to seal the joints between ductwork
sections.
5. An 8” round to 10” round duct adapter
(Model 414) is required. Install adapter as
close to hood as possible.

between ceiling joists using dimensions
shown.
2. Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark
the location of the ceiling joists and cross

4. Secure the support frame to joists and cross
framing with four screws (4,5x60mm) and
washers provided. Make sure screws are
driven into center of joists and framing for
maximum strength.
5. Adjust the overall height of the support
frame. Loosen and re-tighten the screws
in the height adjustment slots as
necessary. Note that the hood height is 143/16” (360mm) and that the bottom of the
hood must be 24” min. and 30” max. above
the cooktop.

MAINTENANCE
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.
Glass Cleaning
Use a soft cloth and a glass cleaning solution only!
DO NOT use abrasive cloths, steel wool, or scouring pads.
DO NOT use strong cleaning solutions or abrasive powders.

The blower on-off / speed 1 switch turns the
blower on to its lowest running speed. To turn OFF the blower, push in and hold
this blower switch for approximately 2 seconds.
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.
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.
