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 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.

WARNING
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 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 24”. A maximum of 30” above cooktop
is highly 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. 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. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
10. Please read specification label on product for
further information and requirements.

1. INSTALL DUCTWORK
Plan where and how the ductwork will be installed.
The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise
and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance,
and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can
reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their
rated airflow. Refer to the table next page to help you plan the most efficient installation.
Install wall or roof cap; once done, ensure there is no leak in house insulation. Connect metal
ductwork to cap and work back towards the hood location. If 6” round ducts are installed, use a
3¼” x 10” to 6” transition positionned, if possible, 18” away from the adapter/damper. Use 2” metal
foil duct tape to seal the joints.
We recommend to install the hood at a minimum distance of 24” from an electric range and
of 30” from a gas range.
Distances over 30” are at the installer and users discretion.
