DO NOT THROW AWAY,

PROPERTY OF THE HOME OWNER!

Imperial Cal Products, Inc.

Any cosmetic defects must be reported to us prior to installation.
Once this hood is installed, ICP will NOT accept any responsibility

for any cosmetic blemishes, scratches or dents in the Canopy.
Save all original packaging if you wish to return for any reason!

FIRST:

Check your local building and electrical codes.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, Do Not use any two speed motor units with a Solid
State control devise.

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air to the
outside. DO NOT vent exhaust air into spaces within wall, attics, ceilings, crawl spaces or
garages. When venting to the outside make duct run as short and straight as possible.
Avoid using elbows if at all possible as this will reduce your performance. Every elbow will
decrease the performance and we will not guarantee the effectiveness of the range hood.

No Performance Warranty when used above BBQ Style Grills.

DO NOT use duct pipe smaller than the outlet duct opening on the hood, this will reduce
performance and void the warranty. DO NOT use flex ducting. Also, use either a Roof Cap or
Wall Cap to end run. Be sure that all joints are taped securely in place. It is essential to have the
proper distance between the bottom of the range hood and the cooking surface below. In most
cases the cooking appliance manufacturers specifications will establish the fire safe minimum
distance required, although there are other factors to consider:

 Local Building Codes
 Cross directional air movements ie: open windows, air conditioning/heating outlets, cooling

fans, etc.

 Overall size of the cooking appliance and surrounding countertop surfaces.
 Range hood model selected.

For best performance distance between cooking surface and the bottom of the hood is 30” and
36”. Check local codes and appliance specifications. Keep in mind, increasing the distance will
decrease the performance.

THERMOSTAT: PS or BP Units ONLY. When cooking surface reaches 130 degrees, the unit will
automatically turn ON to the highest setting and won’t be able to be turned off until the area has
cooled down. For safety, it’s best to have unit on while cooking. (This thermostat will NOT prevent
fires. Fires are most often cause by excessive grease build up.)

TWIN UNITS ONLY - Transitioning two pipes into one is NOT recommended. CFMs are reduced
by 25% and the Performance Warranty will be void.

Read Before Starting Installation!

Inspect your range hood prior to installing!

structural wall studs. Caution; Pre-Punched installation key holes in the rear
of the canopy to be used only if they line up with the exiting wall studs. If
needed, drill additional mounting holes and secure to existing wall studs or
remove the dry wall and install proper backing to match pre-punched
mounting holes.
Note: In the case of the “Rear Vented” series use the two vertical
support pieces on the back side to temporarily attach the canopy to
the wall. Locate the wall studs and using the four small (4) metal
mounting brackets secure the canopy to the wall.
