Electrical & Installation requirements

Electrical requirements

IMPORTANT

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

It is the customer’s responsibility: To contact a qualified electrical installer. To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No.0-M91 - latest edition** and all local codes and ordinances.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.

Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure range hood is properly grounded. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

IMPORTANT

Save Installation Instructions for electrical inspector’s use.

The range hood must be connected with copper wire only.

The range hood should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (Or circuit breaker) box through metal electrical conduit.

Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 — latest edition*, or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 - latest edition** and all local codes and ordinances.

A U.L.- or C.S.A.-listed conduit connector must be provided at each end of the power supply conduit (at the range hood and at the junction box).

Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:

* National Fire Protection Association Batterymarch Park Quincy, Massachusetts 02269

** CSA International 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road Cleveland, Ohio 44131-5575

Before installing the hood

1. For the most efficient air flow exhaust,

use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.

CAUTION: Vent unit to outside of

building, only.

2. At least two people are necessary for

installation. Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges.

3. Fittings material is provided to secure the

hood to most types of walls/ceilings, consult a Qualified Installer, check if they perfectly fit with your cabinet/wall.

4. Do not use flex ducting.

5. COLD WEATHER installations should

have an additional backdraft damper installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break.

The break should be as close as possible

to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house.

6. Make up air: Local building codes may

require the use of Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted Ventilation Systems greater than specified CFM of air movement.

The specified CFM varies from locale to

locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

Ducting Options and Examples

Closely follow the instructions set out in this manual.

All responsibility, for any eventual inconveniences, damages or fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this manual, is declined.

Venting methods

The hood is equipped with a transition B for discharge of fumes to the outside (Ducting version).

Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the Ductless (Recirculating) version. Attach a charcoal filter and the deflector F on the duct cover support bracket G. Fumes and vapours are recycled through the top grille H by means of a duct connected to the transition B and the transition mounted on the deflector F.

NOTE: For ductless (Recirculating) version only: purchase the Ductless Recirculating Kit. Minimum Duct Size (Ducting/Ductless version): 8" Round Pipe.

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.

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.

CAUTION: FOR GAS RANGES INSTALLATION: MOUNT THIS HOOD SO THAT THE

BOTTOM EDGE IS NOT LESS THAN 30" (76,2 CM) ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE. FOR ELECTRIC RANGES INSTALLATION: MOUNT THIS HOOD SO THAT THE BOTTOM EDGE IS NOT LESS THAN 24" (61 CM) AND NOT MORE THAT 30" (76,2 CM) ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE. HOUSEHOLD USE.

Description of the hood & Controls

Controls

Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking.

Description of control panel

1. Control panel

2. Grease filter

3. Grease filter release handle

4. Halogen lamp

5. Vapour catcher

6. Telescopic chimney

7. Air outlet (used for filter version only)

Automatic start-up function

The hood is equipped with a temperature sensor which activates the motor to the first suction speed (power) in the event that the temperature in the surrounding area is higher than 70°C. The user may switch off or modify the suction speed (power) (see paragraph “suction

speed (power) control”).

Suction speed (power) control

The suction speed (power) is cyclical depending on the speed sequence “stand-by – 1-2-3-4- Stand by -1-2-...” therefore every time the T1 button is pressed on the control panel, the suction speed (power) is increased by one level, in order to switch off (stand-by) if the button is pressed again when the hood is in suction speed (power) 4. The hood may be switched off (stand-by) while the hood is set on any speed by holding down the T1 button on the control panel for a bit longer (more than 3 seconds). The hood's suction speed (power) may be

determined as the control panel is equipped with a LED light that changes colors as follows, depending on the suction speed (power):

Hood in stand-by: LED LIGHT SWITCHED OFF

1st suction speed (power) -GREEN LED LIGHT

2nd suction speed (power) – ORANGE LED LIGHT (amber)

3rd suction speed (power) - RED LED LIGHT

4th suction speed (power) - RED LED LIGHT (FLASHING)

Note: The 4th suction speed (power) stays on for 5 minutes, after which the suction

motor will position itself on the 2nd speed. If pressed again, the suction motor will switch off (stand-by).

Grease filters need cleaning: FLASHING GREEN LED light (read instructions found under “Reset and configuration for filter saturation signal”) Coal filters must be cleaned or replaced: FLASHING ORANGE (amber) LED light (read instructions found under “Reset and configuration for filter saturation signal”) Note: The reset procedure may be activated by both the control panel and the remote control.

Center light check

The center light may be switched on and off by pressing the T2 button on the control panel.

Side light check (when scheduled)

The side lights may be switched on and off by pressing AND HOLDING DOWN the T2 button on the control panel. HOLDING DOWN the button, besides permitting to switch the hood on and off, it also regulates the light intensity given from the lights. Note: The switching on and off functions (and regulating function) alternate. The regulation of the light intensity is not

available for hoods with neon lights.

Reset and configuration for filter saturation signal

Switch on hood to any speed (see above paragraph “Suction speed (power) selection”)

Reset grease filter saturation signal (FLASHING GREEN LIGHT on control panel) First proceed with filter maintenance as described in corresponding paragraph.

Press and hold down (for more than 3 seconds) the T1 button on the control panel, the LED light will stop flashing indicating that the signal reset has been carried out, the hood will switch off.

Reset coal filter saturation signal (FLASHING ORANGE (amber) LED light) First proceed with filter maintenance as described in corresponding paragraph.

Press and hold down (for more than 3 seconds) the T1 button on the control panel, the LED light will stop flashing indicating that the signal reset has been carried out, the hood will switch off.

Coal filter saturation signal disactivaction (for particular applications)

Switch off hood (see above paragraph “suction speed (power) selection”). Press and hold down (for more than 5 seconds) the T1 button on the control panel, the LED light will start flashing GREEN indicating that the coal filter saturation signal has been disactivated. In order to reactivate the coal filter saturation signal, repeat operation, the LED light will flash ORANGE (amber)
