DO NOT THROW AWAY,
PROPERTY OF THE HOME OWNER!

Imperial Cal Products, Inc.
Read Before Starting Installation!
Inspect your range hood prior to installing!
Any cosmetic defects must be reported to us prior to installation.
Once this hood is installed, ICP will NOT accept any responsibility
for any cosmetic blemishes, scratches or dents in the Canopy.
Save all original packaging if you wish to return for any reason!
FIRST:
Check your local building and electrical codes.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, Do Not use any two speed motor units with a Solid
State control devise.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air to the
outside. DO NOT vent exhaust air into spaces within wall, attics, ceilings, crawl spaces or garages.
When venting to the outside make duct run as short and straight as possible. Avoid using elbows if
at all possible. If elbows are used, we recommend that the first elbow is 24” from vent opening on
the hood (minimum of 12”)and at least 24” between it and the next elbow. We strongly recommend
no more then two 90 degree elbows in any duct run. No Performance Warranty when used above
BBQ Style Grills.
DO NOT use duct pipe smaller than the outlet duct opening on the hood, this will reduce
performance and void the warranty. DO NOT use flex ducting. Also, use either a Roof Cap or Wall
Cap to end run. Be sure that all joints are taped securely in place. It is essential to have the proper
distance between the bottom of the range hood and the cooking surface below. In most cases the
cooking appliance manufacturers specifications will establish the fire safe minimum distance
required, although there are other factors to consider:
 Local Building Codes
 Cross directional air movements ie: open windows, air conditioning/heating outlets, cooling
fans, etc.
 Overall size of the cooking appliance and surrounding countertop surfaces.
 Range hood model selected.
For best performance distance between cooking surface and the bottom of the hood is 30” and 36”.
Check local codes and appliance specifications. Keep in mind, increasing the distance will decrease
the performance.
THERMOSTAT: PS or BP Units ONLY. When cooking surface reaches 130 degrees, the unit will
automatically turn ON to the highest setting and won’t be able to be turned off until the area has
cooled down. For safety, it’s best to have unit on while cooking. (This thermostat will NOT prevent
fires. Fires are most often cause by excessive grease build up.)
TWIN UNITS ONLY - Transitioning two pipes into one is NOT recommended. CFMs are reduced
by 25% and the Performance Warranty will be void.

Powered Liners Installation Detail Continued:
Figure 1:
Figure one shows the included
elbow transition from 7” diameter
round to 3 1/4” x 10” rectangular.
This transition is used to return the
filtered air back to inside the
kitchen either through the canopy
face of if applicable the soffit
above. The customer must provide
the appropriate length of straight
7” round ducting that connects the
hood exhaust to the elbow
transition.
Figure 2
Figure two shows a typical air exit
terminating through the canopy
face. A customer supplied,
decorative 4” x 10” register cover
face plate should be used to finish
off the cut out opening.
Figure 3
Figure three shows a typical air exit
terminating through the soffit face
directly above the hood canopy.
Again the customer must provide
a 4” x 10” register face plate.
Re-Circulating, (Non-Vented) Series: C2000SD2-NV
For use when unable to terminate exhaust ducting to outside the structure.
NOTE: The C2000 NV Unit comes supplied with charcoal filters that will
accumulate the cooking grease and over time decrease the hoods
performance. The amount and style of cooking will dictate how often the
filters should be replaced. This type of filter is designed for replacement
only. Contact Imperial to purchase proper replacement filters.
The C2000SD2-NV requires one 50 Watt Halogen (Par 20) light that must
be purchased separately.
