Risk Of Injury Disconnect From Power Supply
Before Servicing.
This unit is equpeed with integral disconnecting
switch located inside the blower housing
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOL-
LOWING:
A. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manu-
facturer. If you have questions, contact the manufac-
turer.
B. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off
at service panel and lock service panel disconnecting
means to prevent power from being switched on acci-
dentally. When the service disconnecting means can-
not be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning
device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
C. Installation Work and Electrical Wiring Must Be Done
By Qualified Person(s) In Accordance With All Appli-
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.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL
DUCT WORK.
Install this hood in accordance with all requirements speci-
fied.

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
• 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.
• 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.
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.
• Do not use flex ducting.
• 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. Thehood
must be secure to vertical studs in the wall, or to
a horizontal support.
• 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.
• 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 specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific
requirements in your area.

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.
• 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
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.

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.

Care and cleaning
18
Care and cleaning
The efficiency of the range hood system depends on
the cleanliness of the intake and filters.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the amount
and type of cooking.
Lights
• Do not use the ventilating system without the
filters in place or with grease-laden filters or
surfaces.
Before replacing the lamps, switch power off at
service panel and lock service panel disconnecting
means to prevent power from being switched on
accidentally.
NOTE: Turn off the lights and fan. Allow the lights
to cool before handling. If new lights do not
operate be sure lights are inserted correctly before
calling service.
To avoid risk of fire and explosion do not use
flammable liquids or solvents.
Always unplug or disconnect the appliance from the
power supply before servicing.
Replace Lights
• Remove the inner lamp lens cover by inserting a
small flat blade screwdriver into each of the three
slots and gently prying it free.
Be sure the entire hood (including the filters and light
bulbs) has cooled and grease has solidified before
attempting to clean any part of the appliance.
NOTE: Do not remove the outer trim ring (lamp
assembly).
Filters
The metal grease filters are made of stainless steel
anodized aluminum and are long lasting.
To Remove The Metal Grease Filters
• Turn the fan and lights off.
• Pull the spring release handle.
• Grasp the bulb and pull it straight out.
• Replace with 12 volt, 20 watt halogen bulbs with
a G4 base SUITABLE FOR USE IN OPEN
LUMINAIRES.
