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 steel 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.
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.
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.

CALIBRATION
LIGHT
CALIBRATION
BUTTON
CALIBRATE IQ BLOWER SYSTEMTM
INTERNAL BLOWER DUCTED UNITS ONLY
After the hood is installed and wired, engage the calibration process (our Guaranteed Performance
System Technology to ensure full-rated airflow is being delivered). Prior to calibration, ensure that
all filters, light bulbs and duct system are installed.
CALIBRATION PROCESS
Hold the calibration button for 3 seconds; calibration button will light up and stay on for up to 13
minutes. The blower will start and begin the calibration process. When calibration is complete, one
of two things will occur:
1. The blower turns off and calibration button light stays on = Successful calibration. Press the button
to turn off the LED. Note: The LED will also turn off if you select any blower speed on the control.
2. The blower turns off and calibration button light blinks continuously = Too much restriction in the
ductwork is preventing the IQ Blower System™ from achieving the rated airflow. The blower is
automatically set to maximum intensity.
NOTE: Common items that cause restrictions: restricted damper flap (backdraft damper, wall
cap, roof cap), too many elbows, duct size less than 80% of hood outlet, poor transition, use of
flex ducting and/or crushed ducting.
Three options are available if your hood system has too much restriction:
1. Accept airflow as is.
a. Press the calibration button to accept airflow as is. The IQ Blower System™ is nowconfigured
to the highest possible performance. The blinking calibration light goes out. Note: The LED
will also turn off if you select any blower speed on the control.
2. Correct duct restriction, clear the original calibration data, and repeat the calibration
process.
a. Correct the duct restriction.
b. Clear the original calibration data by holding calibration button for 10 seconds. The light will
blink 3 times to confirm and the blower configuration will go back to default settings.
c. Repeat calibration process from the beginning.
3. Clear calibration data to reset hood to default factory setting and achieve standard high
pressure blower performance.
a. Clear calibration data and reset hood to factory default setting by holding calibration
button for 10 seconds. The light will blink 3 times to confirm and the blower configuration
will go back to default settings.

AVERTISSEMENTS
POUR RÉDUIRE LES RISQUES D’INCENDIE, D’ÉLECTROCUTION OU DE BLESSURES PHY-
SIQUES, RESPECTEZ LES INSTRUCTIONS CI-DESSOUS:
1. Utilisez cet appareil uniquement de la manière prévue par le fabricant. Si vous avez des
ques- tions, contactez le fabricant à l’adresse ou au numéro de téléphone indiqués dans la
garantie.
2. Avant d’effectuer l’entretien ou le nettoyage de l’appareil, mettez-le hors tension sur le pan-
neau de service et verrouillez ce dernier pour éviter que l’appareil soit mis sous tension par
inadvertance. S’il n’est pas possible de verrouiller le dispositif de déconnexion, apposez un

nant les constructions cotées pour leur résistance au feu.
4. Afin d’éviter un refoulement lors de l’utilisation d’équipements à combustible, une quantité
d’air suffisante est nécessaire pour assurer une combustion et un échappement adéquats
des gaz à travers le conduit (la cheminée). Suivez les consignes du fabricant de l’équipement
chauffant et les normes de sécurité publiées, entre autres, par l’Association nationale de
protection contre l’incendie (NFPA) et l’American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), ainsi que les réglementations locales.
5. Quand vous effectuez une découpe ou un forage dans un mur ou un plafond, veillez à ne pas
endommager des câblages électriques ou d’autres équipements non visibles.
6. Les soufflantes canalisées doivent toujours être dirigées vers l’extérieur.
7. N’utilisez pas cet appareil avec un dispositif de commande de vitesse transistorisée séparé.
8. Pour réduire les risques d’incendie, utilisez uniquement des canalisations en métal.
INSTRUCTIONS DE MISE À LA TERRE
Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas de court-circuit électrique, la mise à la terre réduit le
risque d’électrocution grâce à un fil permettant au courant électrique de s’échapper.
AVERTISSEMENT - Une mise à la terre inappropriée peut donner lieu à un risque d’électrocution.
Consultez un électricien qualifié si vous ne comprenez pas parfaitement les instructions de mise
à la terre ou si vous n’êtes pas certain(e) que l’appareil est mis à la terre comme il se doit.
POUR RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE D’UN FEU DE FRITURE SUR LA TABLE DE CUISSON
A. Ne laissez jamais les appareils de surface sans surveillance quand ils sont sur un réglage
élevé. Les débordements peuvent provoquer de la fumée et des déversements gras risquant
de prendre feu. Chauffez les huiles lentement sur un réglage bas ou moyen.
B. ALLUMEZ toujours la hotte quand vous cuisinez à une chaleur élevée ou quand vous
flambez des aliments (p. ex. des crêpes Suzette, des cerises jubilé ou du boeuf au poivre
flambé).
C. Nettoyez souvent les ventilateurs d’aération. Évitez que de la graisse s’accumule sur le
ventilateur ou le filtre.
D. Utilisez des poêles de la taille appropriée. Utilisez toujours des ustensiles de cuisine adaptés
à la taille de l’élément de surface.
