WARNING
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.
10. When applicable local regulations comprise more
restrictive installation and/or certification requirements,
the aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this
document and the installer agrees to conform to these at his
own expenses.
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 power pack ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts.
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 indoor use only.
2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced
impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power
unit.
4. Your power pack motor has a thermal overload which will
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. The
motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to
shut off and restart, have the power pack serviced.
5. The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less
than 24”. A maximum of 30” above cooktop is recommended
for best capture of cooking impurities. For a gas range, the
bottom of the hood must not be less than 30” above cooktop.
6. Two installers are recommended because of the large size and
weight of this unit.
7. 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.
8. This product is equipped with a thermostat which may start
blower automatically. 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.
9. Because of the high exhausting capacity of this unit, you
should make sure enough air is entering the house to replace
exhausted air by opening a window close to or in the kitchen.
10. To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, the Venmar
Connaisseur CPM1 and CPM2 Series models should only be
installed with their own built-in blowers. Other blowers cannot
be substituted.
11. Please read specification label on product for further
information and requirements.

Ducts, elbows, wall and roof caps. Refer to page 3 for a complete list of venting options and model numbers.
NOTE: During installation, protect countertop and/or cooktop.
2. INSTALL DUCTWORK AND ELECTRICAL WIRING
Plan where and how the ductwork will be installed. Access to the top of the hood is
Roof cap
preferred for connection of ductwork.
Install proper-sized ductwork, elbows and roof or wall cap for the type of blower you
are installing. If installing CPM1 power pack, use 8” round ductwork and if installing
CPM2 power pack, use 10” round ductwork. Use 2” metal foil duct tape to seal duct
joints.
We recommend to install the power pack at a minimum distance of 24” from an
electric range and at 30” from a gas range.
Distances over 30” are at the installer and users discretion.
Run 3-wire power supply cable to installation location. Its length should extend at least
4 feet below the bottom of the custom hood.

4. MOUNT CUSTOM HOOD INTERNAL FRAMEWORK
WARNING
The framework must be positively secured to wall studs or other wooden framework behind the drywall. Make
sure it is capable of supporting its own weight and the weight of the CPM1 or CPM2. Failure to do so may cause
personal injury or damage to countertop or cooktop.
The CPM1 and CPM2 power pack models are supported by the custom hood internal framework with screws provided in parts bag.
Since the CPM1 and CPM2 power pack models mounting holes are located in front
and rear sides (see illustration at right), plan to install wood frame at front and sides
for support.
5. REMOVE FILTERS
Remove tape on filters. Remove filters from power pack and set aside.
NOTE: It is recommended to start with the center one(s).
