INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.
1.Decide where the ductwork will run between
the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood
to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will
reduce the performance of the hood. Use as
few of them as possible.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect 6" round
metal ductwork to cap and work back to-
wards hood location. Use duct tape to seal
the joints between ductwork sections.
INSTALL SUPPORT SYSTEM
1. Assemble the upper half of support frame to the upper plate and fix it by means of
the four supplied screws.
2. At hood location, install 2 X 4 cross framing between ceiling joists using
dimensions shown.
3. Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark the location of the ceiling joists and
cross framing.
4. Fix the plate to the ceiling by means of the screws with washers and the screw
anchors.
5. Make sure screws are driven into center of
joists and framing for maximum strength.
6. Connect the lower part of the support frame
to the part previously fixed to the ceiling.
7. Adjust the overall height of the support
frame. Loosen and re-tighten the screws in
theheight adjustment slots as necessary.
Note that the hood height is 13 - 3/8” and
thatthebottomofthehoodmustbe24”min.
and 30” max. above the cooktop.

2. Insert the lower flue section pushing it
upwards, and make it turn as far as the hole,
which has been made in the lower flue
section, is found available through its lower
opening. Partly screw one screw in the hole
and temporarily put the lower flue section
on this one. When making such operation

INSTALLATION OF GLASS
FRAME
1. Insert the transparent plastic gasket along
the edges of the glass.
2. Insert the glass, from the top to the bottom,
in the blowet unit and fix it to that one by
means of the three squares and the six
screws which have been supplied. The
squares must be fixed on the side of the
blower unit which has not got controls.
ATTENTION: Not to break the glass, it's of
much importance for the plastic gasket to
cover every part of glass frame and that the
glass is not directly in contact with metal.
Glass frame appliances are part of a
prestigious range of hand crafted cooker
hoods; due to the particular steps of
processing the glass is subjected to, the
glassbodycould present somedeffects and
distortion.
Please be very carefull not to hit the glass
with any objects made of porcelain, metal,
glass or anything else that is very heavy.

MAINTENANCE
Grease Filter
Cleanthegrease filter frequently.Removethe
greasefilterbypullingitdownward.Useawarm
detergent solution. Grease filters are dish-
washer safe. Note: Avoid damage to bulbs by
carefully aligning filter openings with bulbs.
Interior Hood Cleaning
DISCONNECT POWER TO HOOD BEFORE
CLEANING!
1. Remove the grease filter as shown above.
2. Remove the light bulbs. (See “HALOGEN
BULBS” on next page.
3. Remove the metal grille held in place with
four (4) screws.
4. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent solution
to wipe interior surfaces clean.
Exterior Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials
to keep clean. Occasional care will help pre-
serve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
lHot water with soap or detergent is all that
is usually needed.
lFollow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to
avoid water marks.
lFor discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household
cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
lFor stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with
cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the
stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar the surface.
lDO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
lDO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere
to the surface causing rust.
lDO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to
remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these com-
pounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after expo-
sure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
Glass Cleaning
Use a soft cloth and a glass cleaning solution only!
DO NOT use abrasive cloths, steel wool, or scouring pads.
DO NOT use strong cleaning solutions or abrasive powders.

OPERATION
Controls
The hood is operated using the (5) push-but-
tons located at eye-level, on the front edge of
the hood.
The light switch turns the halogen lights on
and off.
The blower on-off / speed 1 switch turns the
blower on to its lowest running speed.Turn the
bloweroffbypressingthisswitchasecondtime.
The blower speed 2 switch turns the blower on to medium-low running speed.
Pressing this switch a second time sets a timer which keeps the blower operating at
this speed for 10 minutes.
The LED will blink during this time and the blower will shut off automatically.
The blower speed 3 and blower speed 4 switches operate the same as blower
speed 2 switch except: Blower speed 3 is medium-high and blower speed 4 is high.
At the end of each working time of 30 hours, all the leds blink at the same time; this
indicates that the grease filter need to be cleaned.
Once the clean grease filter are on, push one of the three speed switches to make
the count down start again.
