Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
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 know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already 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.

APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, AND
DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. To the extent that applicable law prohibits the exclusion of implied warranties
or conditions, the duration of any applicable implied warranty or condition is limited to the period specified for the express warranty above. Some
jurisdictions (which may include th eProvince of Québec or specific US states) do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the
above limitation may not apply to you. Any oral or written description of the Product is for the sole purpose of identifying it and shall not be construed
as an express warranty.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Limited Warranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if
any provision is held to be prohibited or invalid, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating

to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers,
exclusions, and limitations of liability under this warranty will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

1. ÉTOUFFEZ LES FLAMMES avec un couvercle hermétique, une tôle à biscuits
ou un plateau métallique et ensuite, éteignez le brûleur. PRENEZ SOIN D’ÉVITER
les brûlures. SI LES FLAMMES NE S’ÉTEIGNENT PAS IMMÉDIATEMENT,
ÉVACUEZ LES LIEUX ET APPELEZ LES POMPIERS.
2. NE PRENEZ JAMAIS UNE CASSEROLE EN FLAMMES DANS VOS MAINS.
Vous pourriez vous brûler.
3. N’UTILISEZ PAS D’EAU, incluant un linge à vaisselle ou une serviette mouillée,
cela pourrait occasionner une violente explosion de vapeur.
4. N’utilisez un extincteur QUE DANS LE CAS OÙ:
A. Vous possédez un extincteur de classe ABC et vous en connaissez
le fonctionnement.
B. Le feu est petit et limité à l’endroit où il a débuté.
C. Les pompiers ont été avisés.
D. Vous pouvez combattre l’incendie en ayant accès à une sortie de secours.

!
ATTENTION
!
• Pour une utilisation résidentielle et à l’intérieur seulement.
• Afin de réduire les risques d’incendie et évacuer l’air adéquatement, assurez-vous que les conduits évacuent l’air
à l’extérieur. Ne pas évacuer l’air dans des espaces restreints comme l’intérieur des murs ou plafond ou dans le
grenier, faux plafond ou garage.
• Soyez prudents lors de l’utilisation d’agents nettoyants ou de détergents.
• Évitez d’utiliser sous la hotte des produits alimentaires pouvant s’enflammer.
• Pour usage domestique seulement. Ne pas utiliser pour évacuer des vapeurs ou des matières dangereuses ou
explosives.
• Afin d’éviter tout dommage au moteur et de débalancer ou de rendre bruyante la roue du moteur, garder votre
appareil à l’abri des poussières de gypse et de construction/rénovation, etc.
• Le moteur de votre hotte possède une protection thermique qui éteindra automatiquement le moteur s’il devient
surchauffé. Le moteur redémarrera automatiquement une fois refroidi. Si le moteur continue à arrêter et à
redémarrer, faites-le vérifier.
• Pour une meilleure évacuation des odeurs de cuisson, le bas de votre hotte devrait être situé à UN MINIMUM de
48 po et à un maximum recommandé de 84 po au-dessus de la surface de cuisson.
• Veuillez consulter l’autocollant apposé à l’intérieur de la hotte pour plus d’information ou autres exigences.

OUTILS ET ACCESSOIRES RECOMMANDÉS
• Ruban à mesurer
• Tournevis Phillips no2
• Tourne-écrou ou douille 3/8 po
• Tournevis à lame plate (pour dégager les ouvertures
préamorcées)
• Scie
• Cisailles à tôle
• Pinces
• Ruban adhésif de métal
• Ciseaux (pour couper le ruban adhésif de métal)
• Crayon
• Pince à dénuder
• Serre-fils de 7/8 po de diamètre (un pour fixer le câble
d'alimentation électrique domestique à la hotte et un
autre pour fixer le câble du ventilateur externe à la
hotte)
INSTALLATION DES CONDUITS
NOTE: Afin de réduire les risques d’incendie, n’utilisez que
des conduits de métal.
1. Établir où le conduit passera entre le revêtement de la
hotte et l’extérieur (FIG. 1).
2. Choisir la position souhaitée de sortie du ventilateur
(FIG. 2).
3. Un conduit droit et court muni d’un volet rond de 8 po
(inclus avec l’ensemble ventilateur) pour un ventilateur
interne simple et un volet rond de 10 po (inclus avec la
hotte) pour tout autre type de ventilateur permettra à votre
hotte de fonctionner plus efficacement.
4. Un conduit long avec des coudes et des transitions réduira
la performance de votre hotte. En utiliser le moins possible.
5. Installer un capuchon de toit ou de mur (vendus
séparément). Relier le conduit en métal au capuchon, puis
acheminer le conduit jusqu’à l’emplacement de la hotte.
Sceller hermétiquement les raccords à l’aide de ruban
adhésif de métal de 2 po de largeur.

• Côté
Le volet peut être installé sur le boîtier avant l’installation de
la hotte dans le plafond pour les positions de sortie Côté et
Dessus seulement.
Dans le cas des positions de sortie Avant et Arrière, le volet
doit être installé sur le boîtier une fois que la hotte est installée
dans le plafond.

PRÉPARATION DE L'OUVERTURE AU
PLAFOND
La hotte doit être centrée au-dessus de la surface de cuisson.
Assurez-vous de disposer de l’espace suffisant dans la
structure du plafond pour l’installation de la hotte et des
conduits. Pour une meilleure évacuation des odeurs de cuisson,
le bas de votre hotte devrait être situé à UN MINIMUM de 48 po et
à un maximum recommandé de 84 po au-dessus de la surface de
cuisson. Utiliser du bois de la taille des solives pour fabriquer
une charpente autour de l’ouverture de la hotte. La structure
du plafond doit être capable de supporter le poids de la hotte.
