INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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 additional

solid-state speed control device.

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

ductwork.

9. This unit must be grounded.

10. All tempered glass can experience spontaneous

breakage. If broken, tempered glass falls out of
it’s opening in interlocking clumps. Tempered
glass can, on occasion, break into large shards
rather than the classic tiny piece pattern.

11. 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 hood ON when cooking at high

heat or when flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef
Flambé).

c) Clean ventilating fan 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.

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 hood 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 hood serviced.

5. The hood distance above cooktop must not be

less than 30”. A maximum of 36” above cooktop
is highly recommended for best capture of
cooking impurities.

6. Two installers are recommended due to the

weight of this unit and the complexity of the
installation.

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. 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.

9. To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock,

the Venmar Ispira IK700 series models
should only be installed with their own built-in
blower.

10. Please read specification label on product for

further information and requirements.

11. This hood is equipped with an RF receiver.

See next page for related warning.

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

dishcloths or towels — This could cause a
violent steam explosion.

WARNING

!

This hood is equipped with an RF receiver (optional remote control sold separately).
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this product. The remote control has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules and the Canadian ICES-003. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. The remote control
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.

Plan where and how the ductwork will be
installed.

A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to
perform most efficiently.

Install proper-sized ductwork, elbows and roof
cap. Connect metal ductwork to cap and work
back towards the hood location. Use 2” metal foil
duct tape to seal the joints.

Run 3-wire power supply cable to installation
location.

We recommend to install the hood at a
minimum distance of 30” above cooking
surface. A maximum of 36” above cooktop
is highly recommended for best capture of
cooking impurities.

Distances over 36” are at the installer and users
discretion.

10-ft. ceilings require 10-ft flue extension, part
no. 19325 (sold separately).
