WARNING
TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, PLEASE OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
1. Installation work and electric wiring must be done by a qualied professional in
accordance with local applicable codes and standards, including re-rated construction.
2. The stainless steel structural housing may have sharp edges. Be careful to avoid
cuts and abrasions during installation and cleaning.
3. The hood must be placed at a minimum distance of 26” and a maximum of 30”
from the cooktop for best capture of cooking impurities, and a minimum distance
of 28” from gas range.
4. Provide sufcient air for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the
chimney of the burning equipment to prevent backdraft. Follow the heating
equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published
by the National Fire Protection Association, and the American Society for Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineer (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
5. Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.
6. This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children are not allowed to
tamper with the controls or play with this appliance.
7. To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state
speed control device.
8. When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and
other hidden utilities.
9. This unit is meant for household kitchen use only. To ensure your safety, it needs to
be connected to a GFCI protected branch circuit.
10. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at the service panel. This will
prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
11. Use this unit only in the manner it is intended for by the manufacturer. If you have
any questions regarding the usage of this appliance, please contact the manufacturer
or the local agent closest to you.
12. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Over boiling can cause
smoke and grease spills that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
13. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat, especially when there is an open
ame. ie: Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé.

Pre-Installation
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Installation will require 2 people for easier installation. Please read all instructions carefully before installing.
1. If you are renovating your kitchen, be careful to protect your range hood.
Volatile gases from building materials, dust, paint and coatings can
corrode and tarnish the surface of your range hood. Instead, install
your range hood after your kitchen renovation is complete.
2. The stainless steel may have very sharp edges; wear protective
gloves when removing the range hood for installing, cleaning or servicing.
3. Be careful not to damage any hidden electrical wiring when drilling
into a wall. Unplug the range hood from the power source before
installation; the main power box or fuse box should also be switched off.
4. If the gas stove needs to be removed before installing the range
hood, make sure to switch off the gas valve completely before
moving the gas stove.
5. Always use a power socket with reliable grounding. Compromised
power line, extension cords and multi-port wiring devices may lead
to electric shorts, causing plugs and sockets to overheat and become
re hazards.
7. After installation, test run the unit to make sure there is no abnormal
operation or malfunction. Read the instruction manual carefully and
keep it in a safe place.

Mounting The Hood
1. Determine the location of the exhaust pipe which discharges
to the outside.
The shorter and more linear the ducting is, the more
effective the ventilation will be. (A on gure 1)
Avoid using long ducting with lots of bends, elbows, and
transitions, as they will affect the performance and may
shorten the service life of the hood. (B on gure 1)
Connecting The Ducting
3. Use the phillips screwdriver to screw in the FOUR mounting
spots. Use a drill to drill pilot holes if needed.
2. Mark the location of the FOUR mounting holes as well as
TWO security holes on the wall (gure 2).
4. Mount the hood onto the mounting screws and level the
unit before tightening the mounting screws.
5. For safety reasons, please install two more screws into the
TWO security holes from inside the unit. This prevents the
unit from lossening the mounting screws or accidentally
falling off the wall.
2. Attach the included circular duct outlet to the exhaust
outlet at the top of the unit. (gure 3)

WARNING: Do not exhaust into a shaft, ue, or pipeline that is being used
to exhaust fumes from other appliances burning gas or other fuels.
3. Attach an adequate length of 6” diameter ducting to the
exhaust outlet of the unit.
4. Attach the ducting from the house to the top of the
ventilation unit. (gure 4)
1. Install a roof or wall cap on the exterior of the house.
Connect round metal ductwork to the cap and work
backwards towards the hood location. Use duct tape to
seal the joints between sections.
NOTE: make sure the hood has been installed rmly before letting go.

cloth to prevent water marks.
3. Hard to remove stains, discolourations, and persistent deposits can be
removed with a non-abrasive household cleaner or stainless steel polishing
powder with a little water.
4. For stubborn stains and deposits, use a scouring pad or soft bristle
brush along with a stainless steel cleaner and water. Always rub in the
direction of the polished lines, or “grain” of the stainless steel nish.
Avoid using too much pressure as it may mar the surface.
5. Do not allow deposits to remain for long periods of time. Do not use
ordinary steel wool or steel brushes to clean the range hood.
6. Do not allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds
to remain in contact with the stainless steel surface for prolonged periods
of time. Many of these compounds contain chemicals that can be harmful
to the stainless steel nish. Always rinse with water after every cleaning
and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

WARNING: Unplug the appliance from the power source before
servicing or cleaning
