TO REDUCETHE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSON(S) 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 disconnecting means to prevent
power from being switch 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 qualified
personnel 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), 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 other solid-state speed control
device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.
10. To provide protection against electric shock, connect to
properly grounded outlets only.
11. When applicable local regulations comprise more restrictive
installation and/or certification requirements, the aforementioned
requirements prevail on those of this document and the
installer agrees to conform to these at his own expenses
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
cooking flaming foods (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for
the size of the surface element.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSON(S) IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-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.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels –
This could cause a violent steam explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you
know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department has been called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
!
WARNING
CAUTION
1. For indoor use only.
2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or
unbalanced impeller, keep drywall spray, construction dust,
etc. off power unit.
4. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated.
The motor will restart when it will cool down. If the motor
continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
5. The bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 26” and
at a maximum of 30” above cooktop for best capture of
cooking impurities. For a gas range, the bottom of the hood
MUST NOT BE LESS than 30” above cooktop.
6. Two installers are recommended because of the size of this
hood.
7. To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to
duct air outside. Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls
or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
8. Because of the high exhausting capacity of this hood, you
should make sure enough air is entering the house to
replace exhausted air by opening a window close to or in
the kitchen.
9. Please read specification label on product for further
information and requirements.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

-3-
1. INSTALL DUCTWORK
Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.
A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
Long duct runs, elbows and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use
as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with
longer duct runs.
Install wall cap or roof cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back
towards the hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.
WARNING
When performing installation, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.
!
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
2. MEASURE THE INSTALLATION
The minimum hood distance above cooktop MUST NOT BE less than 26”.
A maximum of 30” above cooktop is highly recommended for best capture
of cooking impurities.
NOTE: For a 9 feet high ceiling, the bottom of the hood MUST BE located
at least at 30” above a 36-inch high cooktop.
Distances over 30” are at the installer and users discretion; providing that
ceiling height permit.

3. PREPARE THE INSTALLATION
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 having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Set the electrical power supply within the space covered by the decorative flue.
Position the outlet offset so that the power cord will not interfere with the round
duct. Place the outlet at a maximum distance of 33 7/16” from where the cord exits
from the hood (see illustration alongside). Make sure this does not interfere with
a mounting bracket fastening area or with the decorative flue (where the flue
touches the wall).
4. WIRING INSTALLATION
WARNING
Electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.This range
hood must be properly grounded.Turn off electrical power at service entrance before wiring.
!
HE0086
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. Do not use an
extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

- You may also use a specialized household stainless steel cleaner.
Don’t:
- Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
- Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
- Allow dirt to accumulate.
- Let plaster dust or any other construction residues reach the hood. During construction or renovation, cover the hood to make sure
no dust sticks to stainless steel surface.
Avoid: when choosing a detergent
- Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack stainless steel.
- Any products containing: chloride, fluoride, iodide, bromide will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.
-Anycombustible products used for cleaning such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol, etc., are highly explosive and should never
be used close to a range.
