READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 accordance 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 equipment 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.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install
an outlet near the appliance.

CAUTION
1. For indoor use only.
2. 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 or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
3. Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.
4. Avoid using food products that produce flames under the Range Hood.
5. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and
vapors.
6. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray,
construction dust, etc. off power unit.
7. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the motor if it becomes
overheated. The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off and
restart, have the hood serviced.
8. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be a minimum of 22”
and a maximum of 30” above the cooking surface. See “Install Mounting Bracket” section for
mounting restrictions.
9. Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this hood.
10. This product is equipped with a thermostat which may start blower automatically. To reduce
the risk of injury and to prevent power from being switched on accidentally, switch power off at
service panel and lock or tag service panel.
11. Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.
WARNING
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 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 - violent steam explosion will result.
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 is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

OPERATION
Controls
The hood is operated using the (5) push buttons located on the front edge of the hood. Fig. 1.
The Light On/Off switch turns the lights on to high intensity and turns them off.
The Light Dimmer switch alternates light intensity from low to high.
The Blower Off/Speed switch turns the blower off and changes blower speed to four different
speed settings: high, medium-high, medium-low and low speed. Depress and hold the button
for 2 seconds to turn the blower off.
The Blower On/Speed switch turns the blower on to four different speed settings: Low,
medium-low, medium-high and high speed.
The Blower LED Indicators illuminate for each selected speed.
The Time Delay switch activates a delay off feature. When pushed, the blower will continue
to operate at the current speed setting for 10-minutes before automatically turning itself off.
The LED (on the right) flashes during operation.
The LED (on the right) is also used as a filter clean reminder. It will flash after 30 hours of
operation - indicating the need to clean the filters.
The Filter Alarm Reset switch is used to reset the 30-hour filter timer. After filters are cleaned
or replaced, press this switch once to reset the filter clean alarm.
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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance of the unit.
Motor
The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings make excessive or
unusual noise, replace the motor with the exact service motor. The impeller should also be replaced.
Grease Filter
The grease filter should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. Grease filter is dishwasher
safe.
Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filter may
occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions - but this will not affect filter
performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.
See “INSTALL FILTERS” section for removal and installation instructions.
Non-ducted Recirculation Filter
The non-ducted recirculation filter should be changed every 6 months. Replace more often if your
cooking style generates extra grease, such as frying and wok cooking. See “INSTALL FILTERS” section
for removal and installation instructions.
Stainless Steel Cleaning
DO:
• Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag soaked
with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish
detergent.
• Always clean in the direction of original polish
lines.
• Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times)
after cleaning. Wipe dry completely.
• You may also use a specialized household
stainless steel cleaner.
DON’T:
•
Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any
other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
• Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
• Allow dirt to accumulate.
• Let plaster dust or any other construction
residues reach the hood. During construction/
renovation, cover the range hood to make sure
no dust sticks to the stainless steel surface.
Avoid: When choosing a detergent
• Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack stainless steel
• Any products containing: chloride, fluoride, iodide, bromide will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.
• Any combustible products used for cleaning such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol, etc., are highly
explosive and should never be used close to a range.

INSTRUCTIONS DE MISE À LA TERRE
Cet appareil doit être correctement mis à la terre. Dans l’éventualité d’un court-circuit, la mise à la
terre réduit les risques de décharge électrique en permettant au courant de s’échapper dans un fil.
Cet appareil comporte un cordon électrique muni d’un fil et d’une fiche de mise à la terre. Cettefiche
doit être branchée dans une prise de courant correctement installée et mise à la terre.
AVERTISSEMENT - Une mise à la terre incorrecte peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique.
Consultez un électricien qualifié si vous ne comprenez pas complètement les directives de mise
àlaterre ou si vous n’êtes pas sûr que l’appareil comporte une mise à la terre adéquate.
N’utilisez pas de rallonge électrique. Si le cordon électrique est trop court, demandez à un électricien
qualifié d’installer une prise de courant près de l’appareil.

AVERTISSEMENT
POUR RÉDUIRE LES RISQUES D’INCENDIE CAUSÉS PAR DE LA GRAISSE SUR LE PLAN
DE CUISSON :
A. Ne laissez jamais les éléments de surface allumés à haute température. Les débordements
peuvent causer de la fumée et occasionner des écoulements de graisse inflammables. L’huiledoit
être chauffée graduellement à basse ou à moyenne température.
B. Mettez toujours la hotte en MARCHE lors de la cuisson à feu vif ou lors de la cuisson d’aliments
à flamber (par ex., crêpes Suzette, cerises jubilé, bœuf au poivre flambé).
C. Nettoyez souvent la hotte. Ne laissez pas la graisse s’accumuler sur le ventilateur ou les filtres.
D. Utilisez des casseroles de dimension appropriée. Utilisez toujours une batterie de cuisine adaptée
à la dimension de la surface chauffante.
OBSERVEZ LES CONSIGNES SUIVANTES DE MANIÈRE À RÉDUIRE LES RISQUES DE
BLESSURES CORPORELLES EN CAS D’INCENDIE CAUSÉ PAR DE LA GRAISSE SUR LE
PLAN DE CUISSON :*
1. ÉTOUFFEZ LES FLAMMES à l’aide d’un couvercle étanche, d’une tôle à biscuits ou d’un plateau
en métal puis éteignez le brûleur. FAITES ATTENTION DE NE PAS VOUS BRÛLER. Si les
flammes ne s’éteignent pas immédiatement, QUITTEZ LES LIEUX ET APPELEZ LE SERVICE
DES INCENDIES.
2. NE SOULEVEZ JAMAIS UNE CASSEROLE EN FLAMMES - vous pourriez vous brûler.
3. N’UTILISEZ PAS D’EAU, ni de serviettes ou de linges mouillés - une violente explosion de vapeur
pourrait survenir.
4. Utilisez un extincteur SEULEMENT si :
A. Vous savez qu’il est de classe ABC et vous connaissez déjà son mode de fonctionnement.
B. L’incendie n’est pas très important et ne se propage pas.
C. Les pompiers ont été avisés.

FONCTIONNEMENT
Commandes
La hotte fonctionne à l’aide de cinq (5) boutons-poussoirs situés sur la face avant. FIG. 1.
L’interrupteur d’Éclairage Marche/Arrêt allume les lumières à la plus forte intensité et les éteint.
Le Gradateur d’éclairage fait passer l’éclairage de faible à intense.
L’interrupteur de Ventilateur Arrêt/Vitesse arrête le ventilateur ou change sa vitesse selon
quatre régimes différents : élevé, moyen-élevé, moyen-faible et faible régime. Si l’on maintient
le bouton enfoncé pendant 2 secondes, le ventilateur s’arrête.
L’interrupteur de Ventilateur Marche/Vitesse actionne le ventilateur ou change sa vitesse
selon quatre régimes différents : faible, moyen-faible, moyen-élevé et élevé. Les voyants DEL
du ventilateur s’illuminent pour chaque vitesse sélectionnée.
L’interrupteur de minuterie actionne un dispositif d’arrêt différé. Lorsque l’on appuie sur ce
bouton, le ventilateur continue à fonctionner pendant 10 minutes au régime réglé, puis s’arrête
automatiquement. Le voyant DEL (de droite) clignote pendant le fonctionnement.
Ce voyant sert également à rappeler quand le filtre doit être nettoyé. Après 30 heures de
fonctionnement, il clignote pour indiquer qu’il est temps de nettoyer les filtres.
Le bouton de Réamorçage de l’alerte de filtre remet le compteur de 30 heures à zéro pour
les filtres. Après avoir nettoyé ou remplacé les filtres, appuyez une fois sur ce bouton pour
remettre l’alerte à zéro.
Thermostat HEAT SENTRY
MC
Votre hotte est équipée d’un thermostat HEAT SENTRY
MC. Il s’agit d’un détecteur de chaleur
qui actionne le ventilateur ou en augmente le régime en cas de chaleur excessive dégagée
par les éléments de cuisson.
1) En position ARRÊT, le ventilateur est mis en MARCHE au régime MAXIMUM.
2) En position MARCHE à régime lent, le ventilateur passe au régime MAXIMUM.
Une fois la température revenue à la normale, le ventilateur revient à son réglage d’origine.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le thermostat HEAT SENTRY peut faire démarrer le ventilateur même si la hotte est
sur ARRÊT. Lorsque cela se produit, il est impossible d’ARRÊTER le ventilateur avec
son interrupteur. Si vous devez arrêter le ventilateur, coupez le disjoncteur du panneau
d’alimentation électrique.
