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
panel 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 a qualified person(s) in accor-
dance 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 equip-
ment 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.

7. Do not use this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.
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 cooking flaming foods. (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 appropriate for the size of the surface
element.

MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will
assure proper performance of the unit.
Grease Filters
The grease filters should be cleaned fre-
quently. Use a warm detergent solution. Grease
filters are dishwasher safe.
To remove the grease filters: at the handle,
push the stop inwards and pull the filters downwards.
Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will
help preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
OHot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
OFollow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to
avoid water marks.
OFor discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser
or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
OFor stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with
cleaser 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.
ODO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
ODO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere
to the surface causing rust.
ODO 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.

OPERATION
Controls
The hood is operated using the (5) push-
buttons located at eye-level, on the front edge
of the hood.
The light switch turns the halogen lights on
and off. Push the light switch once to turn the
lights ON - push a second time to turn the
lights ON to a brighter level - push a third time
to turn the lights OFF.
The blower on-off / speed 1 switch turns the
blower on to its lowest running speed.To turn OFF the blower, push in and hold this
blower switch for approximately 2 seconds.
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.
After every 30 hours of operation, the LED above the “blower speed 1 switch” will
be illuminated (RED) and blink for 30 seconds after turning off the blower. This is a
reminder to clean the grease filter. Once the grease filter is cleaned and installed,
press in and hold the “light switch” button for approximately 2 seconds during the
blink of the LED.
HEAT SENTRY™
Your hood is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY™ thermostat. This thermostat is a
device that will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above
the cooking surface.
1) If blower is OFF - it turns blower ON to HIGH speed.
2) If blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns blower up to HIGH speed.
When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original
setting.
WARNING
The HEAT SENTRY thermostat can start the blower even if the hood is turned
OFF. When this occurs, it is impossible to turn the blower OFF with its switch.
If you must stop the blower, do it from the main electrical panel.

CHOIX DE VENTILATEUR EXTERNE OU “IN-LINE”
ATTENTION: avec cette hotte, on peut utiliser soit un ventilateur externe soit “In-
Line”. La hotte KEX222 doit être installée avec un ventilateur des modèles
suivants EB6, EB9, EB12, EB15, ILB3, ILB6, ILB9, ou ILB11 uniquement. On ne
peut pas utiliser d’autres ventilateurs (les ventilateurs sont vendus séparément).
Le ventilateur doit être compris dans la liste UL pour l’utilisation au Canada et aux
USA et approuvée pour l’utilisation avec un “dispositif de contrôle de la vitesse” à
l’état solide, dont les données sur la plaque sont 120V, 60 Hz, 6.0 A max.

INSTALLATION DU SYSTEME D’EVACUATION
NOTE: Pour réduire les risques d’incendie n’utiliser que des conduits métalliques.
1. Choisir l’emplacement où le ventilateur externe ou le ventilateur “In-Line” sera
monté. Voir les illustrations ci-dessous pour le choix de l’emplacement et les
éventuelles restrictions à suivre.
2. Un conduit d’évacuation étroit et court rendra la hotte plus performante.
3. Des conduits d’évacuation longs, avec des coudes et des raccords rendront la
hotte moins efficace. Les utiliser le moins possible. En cas de conduits
d’évacuation longs on utilisera un diamètre supérieur.
4. Après avoir installé le ventilateur externe ou le ventilateur “In-Line”, raccorder le
tuyau métallique rond dans le sens de l’emplacement de la hotte. Utiliser du
chaterton pour fermer hermétiquement les joints entre les tuyaux.
5. Dans le modèle 414, il faut un tuyau d’un diamètre de 8” à 10” .Pour obtenir de
bons résultats il faut installer la transition le plus près possible de la hotte

INSTALLATION DE LA
TRINGLE PORTE-OUTILS
Les tringles latérales doivent être
assemblées avant de fixer votre hotte contre
le mur. Pour assembler les porte-outils latéraux
suivez les indications suivantes:
1. Enlevez les extrémités du porte-outils en
désserrant les vis B. Insérez, à la place des
extrémités le porte-outils latéral en le fixant
toujours à l’aide des vis B.
2. Enfilez le fermoir M dans le porte-outils
latéral et fixez-le en serrant la vis C.
3. Pour fixer définitivement l’élément M à votre
hotte, vous devez pouvoir avoir accès de
l’intérieur de celle-ci:
- enlever les filtres anti-graisse: à l'aide de la
poignée, pousser l’arrêt vers l’intérieur et
tirer le filtre vers le bas.
- démontez le bas de votre hotte en dévissant
les deux vis A. La partie du bas de votre hotte
ne doit pas être enlevée complètement, elle
doit être seulement inclinée afin de permettre
au tourne-vis de passer. Fixez l’élément M à
votre hotte de l’intérieur, en utilisant les vis
d’assemblage (M8x14mm).
4. Remontez le bas de votre hotte.

INSTALLATION DES ETRIERS
D’ASSEMBLAGE
1. Construisez un cadre en bois pour le mur
dont les vis-pivot ne dépassent pas.
Assurez-vous:
a) que le cadre est centré au-dessus de
l’emplacement de l’installation.
b) la hauteur du cadre permettra que les
étriers d’assemblage soient fixés au cadre
en respectant les dimensions indiquées.
2. Après avoir terminé la surface du mur, fixez
les étriers d’assemblage au cadre en
respectant les dimensions qui sont indi-
quées.

recommandé de prévoir une distance maximum de 30" au-dessus du plan de
cuisson. L’installateur et l’utilisateur peuvent décider d’installer la hotte à une
distance supérieure à 30", si la hauteur du plafond et la longueur du conduit le
permettent.
