IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important
Safety Precaution :
Take care when the hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the
environment, as the hood removes the air from the environment which a burner or a fireplace needs for combustion.
Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the hood. Follow the local laws applicable for
external air evacuation.
Control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the
network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-rated construction.
If the hood is not properly grounded, any electrical appliances can go off.
Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood is operating.
Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight after prolonged use of the lighting installation.
Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a fire hazard.
Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the 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.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling; do not damage electrical wiring and other utilities.
Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.
CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
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, attics or into crawl spaces, or garages.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flaming food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, and
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Location Requirements
Venting Requirements
-Hood location should be away from strong draft
areas, such as windows, doors and strong heating
vents.
-Because of the size and weight of this island hood,
there needs to be cross bracing in the attic to support
the hood and it must be securely attached to the
ceiling. (Figure 1)
-All openings in ceiling and wall where range hood
will be installed must be sealed.
Figure 1
-Grounded electrical outlet isrequired (See “Electrical
Requirements” section). If the hood is not properly
grounded, any electrical appliances can go off.
Installation Dimensions
Figure 2
IMPORTANT:
Distance “C” is recommended to be between 28” and 32”.
Distance B can vary between 26.5” and 46”.
■Vent system must terminate to the outside, except for non-
vented (recirculating) installations.
■Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed
area.
■Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
■Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Do
not use plastic or metal foil vent.
■The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap
has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range
hood.
Venting Methods
This island hood is factory set for venting through the roof.
A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not
included). The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce
performance.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To
vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
Figure 3
NOTE: Wall venting can be an option for 2-story homes.

Electrical Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Ensure that the
electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or
CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1
and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes and
ordinances.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground path is adequate.
A 110 volt, 60 Hz, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is required.
IMPORTANT:Before connecting the model to the electricity network:
Control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to
ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the network
and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician
■If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure
below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail
leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
The appliance has been manufactured as a class I,
therefore earth cable is necessary.

contacts, in line with the electrical local and local standards,
must be placed between the appliance and the network in the
case of direct connection to the electrical network.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Location
■Lay out the vent duct system before installing the range hood
to determine the best routing for the vent duct.
■It is recommended that the vent system be installed before
the range hood is installed.
■Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the ceiling for exhaust vent.
■Check your ceiling height and the range hood height
maximum before you install your hood.
1. Disconnect power.
2. Determine which venting method to use: roof or wall.
3. Select a flat surface for assembling the range hood.
4. Place covering over that surface.

USE AND MAINTENANCE
It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to
cooking.
It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation
for 15 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to
completely eliminate cooking vapors and odors.
The proper function of the hood is conditioned by the
regularity of the maintenance operations, in particular,
the active carbon filter.
The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles
suspended in the air, and are therefore subject to
clogging according to the frequency of the use of the
appliance.
In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommendable to
clean the filter at a maximum of 2 months by carrying
out the following instructions:
-Remove the filters from the hood and wash them in a
solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to
soak.
-Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
-The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
The aluminum panels may alter in color after several
washes. This is not cause for customer complaint nor
replacement of panels.
The active carbon filters purify the air that is replaced in
the environment. The filters are neither washable nor
reusable and must be replaced at maximum every four
months. The saturation of the active carbon filter

8
depends on the frequency of use of the appliance, by
the type of cooking and regularity of cleaning the anti-
grease filters. (Figure 17)
Figure 17
To remove the charcoal filters place on hand on one
filter at a time and turn it toward the front part. The
charcoal filter can now be removed. Always ensure to
replace both filters at the same time.
Clean the fan and other surfaces of the hood regularly
using a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or non-
abrasive liquid detergent.
The illumination installation is designed for use during
cooking and not for prolonged general illumination of
the environment. Prolonged use of the illumination
installation notably reduces the duration of the bulb.
Use a one-edge screwdriver or any other appropriate
tool to lift and remove the overhead light fixture.
Replace the damaged lamp. Use only halogen lamps
as the original specification, avoiding contact with
hands. Return the light fixture to its position (snap
fastening). (Figure 18)
