ALL WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS WHERE THE Range Hood IS INSTALLED MUST BE SEALED.
This Range Hood requires at least 24" of clearance between the bottom of the Range Hood and the cooking surface or
countertop. This minimum clearance may be higher depending on local building code. For example, for gas ranges, a minimum
of 30" is recommened and may be required. Overhead cabinets on both sides of this unit must be a minimum of 18" above the
cooking surface or countertop. Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given by the manufacturer before making
any cutouts.
LISEZ BIEN CETTE FICHE AVANT D'INSTALLER LA HOTTE
AVERTISSEMENT - POUR MINIMISER LE RISQUE D’UN FEU DE GRAISSE SUR LA TABLE DE CUISSON : a) Ne jamais laisser
un élément de la table de cuisson fonctionner sans surveillance à la puissance de chauffage maximale; un renversement/
débordement de matière graisseuse pourrait provoquer une inammation et le génération de fumée. Utiliser toujours une
puissance de chauffage moyenne ou basse pour le chauffage d’huile. b) Veiller à toujours faire fonctionner le ventilateur
de la hotte lors d’une cuisson avec une puissance de chauffage élevée ou lors de la cuisson d’un mets à amber (i.e.
Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé). c) Nettoyer fréquemment les ventilateurs d’extraction. Veiller
à ne pas laisser de la graisse s’accumuler sur les surfaces du ventilateur ou des ltres. d) Utiliser toujours un ustensile
de taille appropriée. Utiliser toujours un ustensile de taille adapté à la taille de l’élément chauffant.
AVERTISSEMENT: - POUR PRÉVENIR LES BLESSURES EN CAS DE FEU SUIVRE LES RECOMMANDATIONS SUIVANTES
(*): a) ÉTOUFFEZ LE FEU avec un couvercle métallique et fermez le brûleur. Si le feu ne s'éteint pas tout de suite, QUITTEZ LES LIEUX ET APPELEZ LES POMPIERS. b) NE TOUCHEZ JAMAIS UNE CASSEROLE EN FLAMMES. c) N'UTILISEZ
JAMAIS DE L'EAU ou un torchon mouillé pour éteindre le feu - ce qui pourrait causer une explosion de vapeur. d) N'utilisez
un extincteur que si: 1. Vous avez un modèle ABC et vous connaissez bien son mode d'emploi. 2. Le feu est petit et peu
répandu. 3. Les pompiers sont déjà prévenus. 4. Vous avez une sortie derrière vous. (*) Basé sur la "cuisine Firesafety
incline" édité par NFPA.
TOUTE OUVERTURE DANS LE MUR OU LE PLANCHER À PROXIMITÉ DE LA HOTTE DOIT ÊTRE SCELLÉ
Gardez 24 po. de hauteur entre le bas de la hotte et la surface de cuisson. Cette hauteur minimum peut être plus haute suivant
le code municipal. Par exemple, les cuisinières à gaz peuvent requérir 30 po. de hauteur. Les armoires au-dessus de chaque
côté devront être au moins à 18 po. au-dessus de la surface de cuisson. Consultez la che technique avant de découper les
armoires.

VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Determine which venting method is best for your application.
Ductwork can extend either through the wall or the roof.
The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should
be kept to a minimum to provide efcient performance. The
size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do not install two
elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork
system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or oor opening
around the cap.
Flexible ductwork is not recommended. If it is used,
each foot of exible ductwork used is equivalent to
two feet of straight metal ductwork when calculating
the ductrun length. Thus, a exible elbow equals two
standard elbows.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or oor
for exhaust duct before making cutouts. 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.

RÈGLEMENTS D'ÉVACUATION
Conrmer la sortie d'évacuation - soit par le mur, soit par
le toit.
Utilisez une longueur de tuyauterie minimale avec les moindres
de coudes pour la plus grande efcacité. Le diamètre de
tuyauterie doit être uniforme. N'installez jamais 2 coudes
ensemble. Scellez bien tous les joints avec un ruban adhésif
métallique à l'intérieur et scellez bien le clapet extérieur avec
du calfeutrage.
Utilisez un tuyau d'évacuation rigide lorsque possible.
Un tuyau exible égale deux fois plus qu'un tuyau rigide,
ce qui réduit la puissance d'évacuation.
Veillez à ce que l'espace pour le tuyau soit ample - ainsi on
n'aurait pas besoin de découper les supports de mur intérieur.
Si ce découpage est nécessaire, veillez bien à ce qu'un
renforcement soit mis en place.
Pour de meilleurs résultats, utilisez un tuyau de transition de
9 pouces dès que possible.
RÈGLEMENTS D'ÉVACUATION ADDITIONELL - PAGE 11.
AVERTISSEMENT - Pour Ne Pas Risquer Un Feu, Utilisez
Seulement Les Matériaux Métalliques.
Veillez a ce qu'un contact d'un demi-pouce (1/2 po.) soit
installé à chaque bout de l (soit à l'appareil ainsi qu'à la
boite à fusible).
Faites un trou de 1 1/4 po. dans le mur. S'il s'agit d'un trou en
bois - sablez-le bien, tandis qu'un trou passant par le métal
demande un bouche-trou.
AVERTISSEMENT - POUR RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE
D'INCENDIE OU DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE, ne pas utiliser
ce ventilateur en conjonction avec un dispositif de réglage
de vitesse à semi-conducteurs.

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
NOTE: The hood chimneys are adjustable and designed
to meet varying ceiling or soft heights depending on the
distance “X” between the bottom of the hood and the cooking
surface. For higher ceilings an extension kit
(Part Number HIGHFORTIS) is available, see your dealer.
The chimney extension replaces the upper chimney shipped
with the hood.
IMPORTANT:
Minimum distance “X”: 30"
Suggested maximum distance “X”: 36"
For vented installations, the chimneys can be
adjusted for ceilings between 8' 4 1⁄4" and 9' 4 3/4".
Venting Methods
A 6" round vent system is needed for
installation (not included). A dual 6" round vent system is needed for
the 48" range hood *. The hood exhaust opening is 6" round.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent
through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
A. Roof cap
B. 6" round vent
*The 48" hood uses two 6" round vents or
transitions to 10" round vent using Part
Number TRNSPRO.
A.Wall cap
B. 6" round vent
• It is recommended that the vent system be
installed before hood is installed.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
