RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
WARNING
1. Before servicing or cleaning unit, unplug or disconnect the rangehood from the power supply.
2. 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 rangehood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
C. Clean ventilation fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or
filter.
D. Use a pan of the proper size. Always use cookware of an appropriate size for the element.
3. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:
A. SMOTHER FLAMES with a tight-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.
B. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may get burned.
C. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will
result.
D. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
4. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed
Control device.
5. To provide protection against electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.
CAUTION: For general ventilation use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive
materials and vapours.

FEATURES
The range hood is designed for a designer’s kitchen with the range hood installed directly above
cooking appliances against a wall. This hood is a focal point and show piece in your kitchen, while
providing you with the benefit of extracting the grease and smoke from your cooking.
Please refer to the instructions below
INSTALLATION & USE
WARNING
1. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
2. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord with grounding wire and 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 there is doubt 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：
- 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.
NOTE: Carefully remove protective film (if any) from the exterior surfaces of the hood prior to final
installation.
DESCRIPTION / CONNECTION
This range hood should be mounted directly to the support frame mounting, with the support frame flue
secured to the ceiling joist or framework.
Ductwork can be installed vertically or horizontally.

Duct runs should be as short as possible.
Avoid the use of elbows.
Use duct tape on all joints.
Do not use a duct smaller than the exhaust on the hood.
LOCATION PREPARATION
The installation in this manual is intended for qualified installers, service technicians or persons with a
similar qualified background. DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could result from
installing the unit due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical background.
All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded. Excessive accumulated grease
in old duct work should be cleaned out or duct work should be replaced if necessary, to avoid the
possibility of a grease fire. Check all joints on duct work to ensure proper connection, and all joints
should be properly taped.
Note 1: On stainless steel hoods, carefully remove the plastic protective film from all exterior surfaces
of the hood and chimney prior to final installation.
Note 2: At least two people will be required to mount the hood.
MOUNTING HEIGHTS & CLEARANCE
The minimum mounting height between range top
to hood bottom should be no less than 25”
The maximum mounting
height should be no
higher than 30”
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could
result in heat damage and fire hazard; while
hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and
would lose their performance and efficiency.
If available, also refer to the range manufacturer’s
height clearance requirements and the
recommended hood mounting height above the
range.
* Maximum ceiling clearance of 106.5” at 27.5”
hood mounting height from stove (may vary for
different models)
** For a higher ceiling, a chimney extension and a
decorative cover is available to purchase, if
required.
Maximum ceiling
height 8 to 9 ft
(special order for
higher ceiling)

Ductwork
NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or garages.
All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
Use metal ductwork only.
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct
Tape.
Duct Run Calculation:
Maximum run 6” or 3-1/4 x 10” duct 100FT
Deduct:

e.g. – 1 roof cap, 2x90 elbows, 1x45 elbow
= 30’ + 30’ + 9’=69’ used,
31’ available for straight duct runs
DUCT SIZE
A minimum 6” round duct must be used to maintain
maximum airflow efficiency.
Flexible ducts are provided for convenience, always
use rigid type metal ducts if available to maximizing
airflow.
Also use calculation (on left) to determine total
available duct run when using elbows, transitions
and caps.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number of
transitions and turns. If a long duct is required,
increase duct size from 6” to 7 or 8”.
If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of
pancake reducer. Reduce duct size as far away
from the opening as possible.
If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away
from opening and as far apart, between 2, as
possible.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Surface Maintenance:
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive
detergent (e.g. comet powder scrub, EZ-Off oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads which will scratch
and damage surface.
For heavier soil, use liquid degreaser such as ‘Formula 409’ or ‘Fantastic’ brand cleaner.
After cleaning, you may use non-abrasive stainless steel polish/cleaners such as 3M or ZEP, to polish
and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth, and with the
grain.
Stainless Steel Baffle Filters:
The factory filters are intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking. They do not need to be
replaced on a regular basis but they must be kept clean.
Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use.
Remove and clean by hand in a basin of hot soapy water. The filter is also dishwasher safe.
If heavily soiled, spray ‘Formula 409’ or equivalent degreasing detergent and leave to soak.
Dry filters and re-install before using hood.
Oil cup
The oil cup should be cleaned often according to the amount of oil in the cup.
Clean oil cup by hand in a basin of hot soapy water.
If heavily soiled, spray ‘Formula 409’ or equivalent degreasing detergent and leave to soak.
Slide oil cup out/in from the slot at the bottom of the block

Hood Cleaning
The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and filters may cause increased inflammability. Keep unit
clean and free of grease and residue build-up at all times to prevent possible fires.
Filters must be cleaned periodically and free from accumulation of cooking residue (see cleaning
instructions inside). Old and worn filters must be replaced immediately. Do not operate blowers when
filters are removed. Never disassemble parts for cleaning without following proper instructions. It is
recommended that disassembly be performed by qualified personnel only. Call our service centre for
removal instructions.
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help preserve its fine
appearance.
Cleaning tips:
* Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
* Rinse with clean water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.
* For persistent discoloration or deposits, use a non-abrasive household cleanser or stainless steel
polishing powder with a small amount of water and a soft cloth.
* For stubborn stains use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with cleanser and water.
Rub lightly in the direction of polishing lines or the “grain” of the stainless finish. Avoid using too much
pressure as this may damage the surface.
* Do not allow deposits to sit for long periods of time.
* Do not use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface causing
rust.
* Do not allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with
stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals that may be
harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
* Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
