cable Codes & Standards, Including Fire-rated Con-  
struction.  
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. Crepes Suzette, Cherries  
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).  
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not  
be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.  
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropri-  
ate for the size of the surface element.  
D. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and ex-  
hausting of gases through the flue (Chimney) of fuel  
burning equipment to prevent back- drafting. Follow  
the heating equipment manufacturers guideline and  
safety standards such as those published by the Na-  
tional Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the Ameri-  
can Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Condi-  
tioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code au-  
thorities.  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN  
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OB-  
SERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie  
sheet, or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner  
or the electric element. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT  
BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately,  
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.  
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be  
burned.  
E. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not dam-  
age electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.  
F. Ducted systems must always be vented to the outdoors.  
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or tow-  
els - a violent steam explosion will result.  
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:  
To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be  
sure to duct air outside - do not vent exhaust air into  
spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, or  
garages.  
1) You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and  
you already know how to operate it.  
2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it  
started.  
3) The fire department is being called.  
4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Installing the hood  
The hood may be installed onto a wall and vented to  
the outdoors, or it can be installed for recirculating  
operation (recirculating accessories not supplied with  
the hood).  
• For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a  
straight run or as few elbows as possible.  
This hood can be installed over any electric and gas  
cooktop/range.  
Vent unit to outside of building, only.  
It can not be installed over any professional  
cooktop / range.  
• On avarage 2 to 3 hours are necessary to com-  
plete installation (without considering cut to be  
done on wall and or on cabinet, installation of  
ducts , conduit and electrical connections to the  
mains).  
Installing preparation  
Advance planning  
• The hood is fitted with Screws and Drywall  
Anchors suitable for most surfaces, consult a  
Qualified Installer, check if they perfectly fit with  
your cabinet/wall.  
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.  
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the  
outdoors.  
• Use the shortest and straightest duct route  
possible.  
• Do not use flex ducting.  
Refer to “Ductwork installation guidelines”  
paragraph for further informations.  
• Install a wall cap with damper or roof cap at the  
exterior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and  
anytransition needed in advance.  
• Use 8" round metal ductwork only.  
• COLD WEATHER installations should have an  
additional backdraft damper installed to minimize  
backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal  
break to minimize conduction of outside  
temperatures as part of the ductwork. The  
damper should be on the cold air side of the  
thermal break.  
Wall framing for adequate support  
• This vent hood is heavy.  
The break should be as close as possible to  
where the ducting enters the heated portion of  
the house.  
‘Adequate structure and support must be  
provided in all types of installations. The hood  
must be secure to vertical studs in the wall, or to  
a horizontal support.  
• Make up air: Local building codes may require the  
use of Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted  
Ventilation Systems greater than specified CFM of  
air movement.  
• The vent hood should be on site before final  
framing and wall finishing. This will help to  
accurately locatethe duct work and electrical  
service.  
• Installation will be easier if the vent hood is  
installed before the cook-top and countertop are  
installed.  
The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.  
Consult your HVAC professional for specific  
requirements in your area.  
Typical installation  
Min installation height from the range top to the  
bottom of the hood is 30" if a gas range is used  
or 24" to 30" if an electric range is used.  
These hoods are not recommended to be used  
over indoor grills.  
Removing the packaging  
Remove carton carefully, Wear gloves to protect  
against sharp edges.

Ductwork installation guidelines  
Ductwork and wiring locations  
For safety reasons, ducting should vent directly  
outdoors (not into an attic, underneath the house,  
into the garage or into any enclosed space).  
Keep duct runs as short and straight as possible.  
Duct fittings (elbows and transitions) reduce air flow  
efficiency.  
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.  
• Locate the template packed with the literature.  
• The height installation is determined by the  
following image. Mark the location.  
Back to back elbows and „S“ turns give very poor  
delivery and are not recommended.  
A short straight length of duct at the inlet of the  
remote blower gives the best delivery.  
Transition to duct from the integral blower or remote  
duct transition as close to the downdraft as is pos-  
sible.  
In order of preference, use  
1st. 10" round duct  
2nd. 8" round duct  
3rd. 3-1/4" x 14" duct  
4th. 7" round duct  
5th. 3-1/4" x l0" duct  
Installation height  
6th. 6" round duct  
The use of flexible metal round duct should only be  
used when no other duct fitting exists. Limit use to  
short lengths and do not crush when making  
corners.  
• Installation height: 30" gas cooktop/range or 24"  
to 30" electric cooktop/range.  
• Use a level to draw a horizontal straight pencil line  
on the wall, which is your desired  
installationheight.  
• Find the centerline of the cooktop. Use a level to  
draw a vertical straight pencil line on the wall.  
CHECK TO BE SURE THE LINE IS PERFECTLY  
PERPERNDICULAR.

time for 5 seconds.  
” and “  
” buttons at the same  
• The Inclusion or exclusion of charcoal filter must be selected while the lamps and the motor are OFF.

For Best results  
• Continuous use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid.  
• It also reduces cooking odors and soiling moisture that create a frequent need for cleaning.  
Turn the blower on before starting to cook.  
• Use a rear burner when browning or pan frying meat.  
• Open a window or inside door slightly.  
• Clean the filters and the wall behind the filters frequently.  
• The blower should be turned on for a few minutes before cooking in order to establish air currents upward  
through the hood. Thus when heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors are produced, they will  
be carried outside instead of drifting into other rooms.  
• Use the low speeds for normal use and the higher speeds for strong odors or fumes.  
• Drafts across the range or cooktop will cause the escape of heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking  
odors from the hood. Such drafts should be prevented in so far as possible.  
• The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where the only air currents are those created by the  
blower itself.  
• For Gas Cooktops, a lower blower speed should be used if:  
• the gas flame is being distorted by the air movement.  
• the burner continually sparks (clicks)  
• the burner flame repeatedly blows out.
