WARNING WARNING

- 2 -

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

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the

manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer at the address or telephone number
listed in the warranty.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off

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

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be

done by qualified personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction codes and standards.

4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and

exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting.
Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s
guidelines and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not

damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

7. Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed

control device.

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

9. This unit must be grounded.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE:

a) Never leave surface units unattended at high

settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low
or medium settings.

b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat

or when cooking flambeing foods (crêpes Suzette,
cherries jubilee, peppercorn beef flambé).

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware

appropriate for the size of the surface element.

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

1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting 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.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may

be burned.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or

towels – This could cause a violent steam explosion.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you

know how to operate it.

B. The fire is small and contained in the area where

it started.

C. The fire department has been called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust

hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or
unbalanced impeller, keep drywall spray, construction
dust, etc. off power unit.

3. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes
overheated. The motor will restart when it will cool
down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart,
have the hood serviced.

4. The minimum hood distance above cooktop must
not be less than 20” for an electric range, and 24” for
a gas range. A maximum of 30” above cooktop is
highly recommended for best capture of cooking
impurities.

5. Two installers are recommended because of the
large size and weight of this hood.

6. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust
air, be sure to duct air outside – Do not exhaust
air into spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics,
crawl space or garage.

7. Refer to the specification label on product to see if
this unit is equipped with a thermostat which may start
blower automatically. In this case, to reduce the risk of
injury and to prevent power from being switched on
accidentally, switch power off at service panel and
lock or tag service panel.

8. Because of the high exhausting capacity of this
hood, you should make sure enough air is entering
the house to replace exhausted air by opening a
window close to or in the kitchen.

9. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.

10. Please read specification label on product for

further information and requirements.

11. All demonstrator range hoods (model numbers ending
by D) are not for sale, unless their original power cord
is removed.

1. INSTALL DUCTWORK

Plan where and how the ductwork will be installed.
Install proper-sized ductwork, elbow(s) and roof or wall cap for the type of blower you are installing. If using 6’’ (150 mm) round

ducts, use a transition. Use 2’’ (50 mm) duct tape to seal duct joints.

2. MEASURE THE INSTALLATION

Dimensions for the most common installations are shown below.

We recommend to install the hood at a minimum of 20” (508 mm) from an electric range and at 24” (610 mm) from a
gas range.

For optimal performance, the hood should not be installed more than 30” (762 mm) from cooktop.
