IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Have a qualified technician install the range hood. It is the
installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances
specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial
rating plate is located inside the liner behind the filter on the
left wall of the range hood.
Range hood location should be away from strong draft areas,
such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. Consult your
cooktop/ range manufacturer installation instructions before
making any cutouts. Grounded electrical outlet is required.
See “Electrical Requirements” section.
The range hood is factory set for vented installations through
the roof or wall. For non-vented (recirculating) installations
see “Non- Vented (recirculating) Installation Through the
Soffit/Cabinet” in the “Prepare Location” section.
Recirculation Kit Part is available from your dealer or an authorized
parts distributor. All openings in ceiling and wall where range
hood will be installed must be sealed.
For mobile home installations
The installation of this range hood must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction Safety Standards, Title 24
CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home

Ducting Options
• Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for no
vented (recirculating) installations.
• Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other
enclosed area.
• Do not use a 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
• Rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or metal foil
vent is not recommended. The length of vent system and
number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide
ecient performance.

D. 12” (30.5 cm) cabinet depth
E. 36” (91.4 cm) base cabinet height
For the most ecient and quiet operation:
• Use no more than three 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24” (61 cm) 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.
• The vent system must have a damper.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around
the cap.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
5
Cold weather installations
An additional back draft damper non return valve should be
installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a thermal
break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside
temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper non
return valve should be on the cold air side of the thermal
break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent
system enters the heated portion of the house.
Preparation
We recommend that a qualified technician install the range
hood. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the range
hood complies with the installation clearances specified for
the product.
Makeup air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air
systems when using ventilation systems with 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.
Venting methods
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall.
Use 31⁄4” x 10” (8.3 x 25.4 cm) with a maximum vent length
of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 6” (15.2 cm) or larger round vent with a
maximum length of 50 ft (15.2 m) for vent system.
In cases where it should not be possible to discharge cooking
fumes and vapour to the outside, purchase Charcoal Filter
Replacement Kit.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent
creates back pressure and air turbulence that gently reduces
performance.

CFM Reduction System
Before operating your hood:
Some States and Provinces of the US & Canada restrict the
maximum exhausting airflow of range hoods. Airflow is measured
as cubic feet per minute (CFM). These maximum levels allowed
are detailed in the local code of your area. Please check local
codes to find out if you need to restrict the maximum airflow
of your hood. If your local code mandates a maximum airflow
level below the maximum airflow of this hood (i.e. 600 CFM),
please execute the procedure below to reduce the maximum
airflow.
1
1 Turn the motor OFF.
2 Press the ON/OFF (1) and Intensive speed (5) buttons
together for 3 seconds.
You will hear a beep and all control lights will illuminate
for 3 seconds.
This action will Disable speeds 3 and 4 and eectively
lower the Maximum airflow to > 300 CFM.
3 Locate the CFM certification sticker in the hardware pack.
4 Peel and Ax this sticker to a visible area in the blower.
This sticker provides ocial certification to your local
inspector that this hoods maximum airflow has been
reduced to > 300 CFM.

Replacing a LED lamp
The LED lights are replaceable by a service technician only.
See “Who to contact” section in the warranty for service
contact information.
Charcoal filter
I WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire and shock use only the carbon filter kit
KIT02667.
If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be
recirculated through disposable charcoal filters that help
remove smoke and odors.
1 Cover the grill that protects the suction motor with the
carbon filter so that the slots on the filter correspond to
the pins on the sides of the motor protection grill.
2 Turn the carbon filter clockwise to block them (bayonet
fixing).
NOTE: Remove the wiring to be able of placing the charcoal
filter and then replace it.
NOTE: The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned. It should be
replaced every 4-6 months (depending on hood usage).
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an automatic
dishwasher.
NOTE: Charcoal filters are not included with the hood. They
must be ordered from your supplier. Order the needed kit
specifying your hood model and width size.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Do not spray cleaners directly to the control while cleaning the
Hood. The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least
with the same frequency with which you carry out maintenance
of the fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the
cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use
abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
I WARNING:
Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the
cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore, we recommend oserving these instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to
the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance
or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.
Grease filter
Traps cooking grease particles.
This must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be
set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in
a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this
does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.
