“Read and save these instructions”
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.”

TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If
you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
B. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel
and lock (service disconnecting means) 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.
Caution: “For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors”
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
A. Keep fan, filters and grease laden surfaces clean.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat.
C. Use high settings on range only when necessary. Heat oil slowly on

TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction.
B. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to
prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s
guideline 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.
C. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, be careful not to
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
D. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
“WARNING”: “To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork”

TOOLS NEEDED TO INSTALL THE RANGE HOOD
- Philips screwdriver #2 or square #1.
- Hammer (To open the knockout hole and the exhaust port).
- Sheet metal shears (to make duct adjustments).
- Pair of pliers (to make duct adjustments).
Caution:
To reduce fire hazard and to properly exhaust stale air, be sure to duct air out-
side or recirculate the air with the HO 50950 charcoal unit. The exhaust port
must never lead into a chimney used to exhaust gases or smoke. Do not
exhaust stale air into spaces in walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.
Warning: The heating element of the range and the underside of the
hood must be, at least 20" (50cm) apart. Over a gas range, the dis-
tance must be increased to, at least, 24”(60 cm).
If the bottom of the cupboard is recessed, attach three wood
strips as shown to be able to screw the range hood under the
cabinet.
Remove the screw on the bottom of the hood and remove the cover.
* Be careful not to touch the electronic board.
Determine if the exhaust hole is on the top (3a) or rear (3b) of
the range hood. Disconnect the appropriate stale air outlet
using a hammer and screwdriver.
The best circular transition to a 3-1/4”x 10”(8.25 cm x 25.4 cm)
rectangular tubing measures 6”(15.24 cm) diameter. For better
Venmar Ventilation performance, it is recommended to follow
this instruction.
NOTE We recommend that the wall duct be well prepared to receive
the adaptor. Make sure that the adaptor fits easily in the duct before
doing the installation. The use of the adaptor is strongly recommend-
ed for better performance of your unit. If you purchase the Venmar
hood to replace another hood and you use the top outlet, please
note that location of the exhaust duct can vary from one manufac-
turer to another.

Cleaning
Clean the inside of the range hood a few times a year. Remove
the filters, the impeller and the intake ring (fig:1 & 2 ). Wipe the
inside with a wet cloth and mild detergent. The filters, the intake
ring and the impeller may be cleaned in a dishwasher or by soak-
ing in a mild detergent.
The easy way to remove the impeller is by holding it on each side
and pull down smoothly, one side at a time. Be aware that the
edge of the hood may be sharp.
NOTE: Some minerals, when in contact with dishwasher soap
additives, may cause a discolouration of the filters. This dis-
colouration is not covered by the warranty.
When inserting the fan blades, be sure to position the alignement
lug in one of the holes on the motor head.
Changing the light bulbs
Remove the light diffuser by pushing on the clasps and pull down.
Bulbs to use: two (2) appliance bulbs; maximum 40 watts
