Help protect our environment

Disposal of your old appliance

Old appliances contain materials that can be recycled. Please contact your local recycling center about the possibility of recycling these materials.

Before discarding an old appliance, disconnect it from the electrical supply and cut off its power cord to prevent it from becoming a hazard.

Warning and Safety Instructions

Read these Operating Instructions carefully before installing or using the Ventilation System.

This appliance is intended for residential use only. Use the appliance only for its’ intended purpose. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by improper use of the hood.

Read all the instructions before installing or using for the first time.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY

CAUTION For General Ventilating Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous Or Explosive Materials And Vapors.

This appliance is designed to vent cooking smoke \ odors only.

Be certain your appliance is properly installed and grounded

by a qualified technician.

Do not connect the appliance to

the main electrical supply using an extension cord. Extension cords do not meet the safety requirements of this appliance.

Do not turn on the hood until it has

been properly installed.

Repairs on electric appliances

should only be performed by qualified personnel. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual.

Before servicing, disconnect the

power supply by either removing the fuse or manually “tripping” the circuit breaker.

When installing the hood, make

sure that the minimum safety distances between cooktops and the hood are maintained. – For electric cooktops: 18" (45 cm) – For gas cooktops: 26" (65 cm)

Do not install this exhaust hood

over cooktops burning solid fuel.

To guarantee the electrical safety

of this appliance, continuity must exist between the appliance and an effective grounding system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be met. If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the lack, or inadequacy of, an effective grounding system.

Warning and Safety Instructions

WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

Any fittings, sealant, or materials used to install the ductwork must be made of non-flammable materials.

Never connect an exhaust hood to

an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue, or room ventilating ductwork. Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.

Never operate gas burners without

pots. Heat generated by prolonged operation of gas burners without pots could damage the hood.

Do not flambé beneath the exhaust

hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction or the grease filters may ignite.

Do not allow children to play with

the hood or its controls.

WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

Keep the fan, filters and grease laden surfaces clean.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.

Use high range settings on range only when necessary. Heat oil

slowly on low to medium setting.

Don’t leave range unattended when cooking.

Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type and

amount of food being prepared.

Do not leave cooking surfaces un-

attended while in use. Overheated food can ignite.

Do not use the exhaust hood with-

out the grease filters in place.

Clean the grease filters regularly.

Saturated filters are a fire hazard.

Do not use a steam cleaner to

clean the hood. The steam could penetrate to electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Warning and Safety Instructions

WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLLOWING:

Smother flames with a close fit-

ting 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.

Never pick up a flaming pan -

You may be burned.

Do not use water, including wet

dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.

Use an extinguisher

only if:

– You know you have a Class ABC ex-

tinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

– The fire is small and contained in the

area where it started.

– The fire department is being called. – You can fight the fire with your back

to an exit.

WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Use this unit only in the manner in-

tended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

Before servicing or cleaning unit,

switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

Installation and electrical work

must be performed by qualified technicians in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

Make sure that the airflow in the

room is sufficient for combustion and exhausting of all non-electric heating appliances (water heaters, gas cooktops, gas ovens, etc.), otherwise back drafts may occur. Follow the heating maunfacturers guidelines and safety standards or those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), or the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). If in doubt, consult an experienced professional.

Be careful not to damage hidden

electrical wiring or plumbing when cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling.

Ducted fans must always be

vented to the outdoors.

Warning and Safety Instructions

When connecting the hood to an external vent, make sure that there is adequate ventilation in the room where the exhaust hood is to be used.

When using the hood in the same area as other appliances requiring room air (e.g. non-electric water heaters, gas cooktops, gas ovens, etc.) make certain that the air extracted by the hood does not hinder their operation. These appliances need air for combustion.

Adequate ventilation can be maintained by installing air vents in windows or walls or by ensuring that the hood can only be turned on when the other appliances are off, or vice versa.

To prevent combustion gases being drawn back into the room by the exhaust hood, the underpressure in the room must be no greater than 0,0006 psi (0,04 mbar) when the hood and these appliances are running simultaneously.

Disposal of discarded appliances

Before discarding an old appliance, disconnect its power cord to prevent it from becoming a hazard.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY

Throughout the manual, important safety items will be highlighted in boxes and should be read in conjunction with these “Warning and Safety instructions”.

If there are any doubts as to whether there is adequate ventilation, consult an experienced professional.

Functional description

The hood draws the air in through a grease filter and then directs it into the exhaust ductwork.

The hood comes with a non-return exhaust valve that is placed inside the ductwork during the installation procedure. This valve automatically closes when the hood is turned off so that no exchange of outside air and room air can occur. When the hood is turned on, the air pressure of the exhaust fan automatically opens the valve, allowing the inside air and odors to be vented outside.
