Important Safety Instructions
READ AND SA
VE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE
Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.
Suitable for use in household cooking area
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.
CAUTION - For General Ventilating Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous Or Explosive Materials And
Vapors.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY 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 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.
WARNING – 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.
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 PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a. 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.
b. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
c. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
2. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3. The fire department is being called.
4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY 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, do not 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.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard - Can result in serious injury or death.
Disconnect appliance from electric power before servicing.
If equipped, the fluorescent light bulb contains small amounts of mercury which
must be recycled or disposed of according to Local, State, and Federal Codes.

Considerations before installing Hood
1. For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few elbows
as possible.
CAUTION: Vent unit to outside of building, only.
2. If allowed in your area, use metallic flex ducting only to connect rigid duct
directly to transitions.
3. COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper
installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal
break to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the
ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the ducting enters the
heated portion of the house.
4. Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference. The lower
the hood above the cooktop, the more efficient the capturing of cooking
odors, grease and smoke. We recommends the hood be installed 30-36"
above the countertop. The lower height may be inconvenient for tall
people and large cooking vessels. Check your ceiling height and the hood
height maximum before you select your hood.

Installation
Preparation of mounting surface (Drywall)
Tools required for installation
Screw driver
(flat head, pozidrive n°2 and torx 10)
1. Select a mounting height comfortable for the user and mark on wall
behind cooktop.
Allen spanner 4mm
2. Mark center line of cooktop and draw vertical line from bottom of hood
to the ceiling.
Electric drill with twist bit Ø 10 mm
3. Tape template, matching center-line and hood bottom as shown in
Figure 2.
4. Mark centers of the 6 fastener locations through template on wall then
remove template.
5. Mark wall with horizontal line 1" above highest and 1" below lowest
fastener location.
6. Find studs behind drywall by
tapping wall or using a stud finder. Mark the center of the studs with a
vertical line to the right and left of the marked fastener location.
Note
Note: 2 x 6's must span at least 2 studs side to side.
7. Cutout drywall along marked lines. Install 2 x 6's between studs firmly
flush with stud front. Make sure all mounting screws will anchor to added
lumber. Replace drywall and refinish.
Figure 2
8. Remark center line and hood bottom on same location as before and tape
template on wall as in step 3 above.
9. Mount 2 mounting hooks with wood screws (supplied in mounting
hardware kit) on locationsmarked on template, then remove template.
10. Install duct cover ceiling bracket to wall flush to ceiling with drywall
anchors supplied. Figure 3.

14. Secure hood with 2 screws on top and 2 screws on bottom. See Figure 5.
15. Connect ducting (Figure 4).
Note: for blower serviceability, leave a gap of 1" minimum between top
of transition and sheet metal duct and cover gap with a starting collar
wrapped around duct and transition. Locate collar screws so they fit into
corner of duct cover. Secure collar to transition and duct with three sheet
metal screws each. Seal with duct tape.
Do not use duct smaller than the transition.

ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FITTED WITH AN ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX WITH
3 WIRES, ONE OF WHICH (GREEN/YELLOW) SERVES TO GROUND THE
APPLIANCE. TO PROTECT YOU AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK, THE GREEN
AND YELLOW WIRE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE GROUNDING WIRE
IN YOUR
HOME ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AND IT MUST UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
BE CUT OR REMOVED.
Warning: Turn off power circuit at the service panel before wiring this unit.
120 VAC, 15 or 20 Amp circuit required.
16. Remove the knockout and install the conduit connector (1/2") in junction
box.
17. Run 3 wires; black, white and green (#16AWG) in 1/2" conduit from
service panel to junction box.
18. Connect black wire from service panel to black or red in junction box,
white to white and green to green-yellow. Figure 6.

Alternate - reduced ceiling height Installation:
The hood may be installed with only the lower part of the duct cover to
reduce the overall height. For the duct cover to slide down and engage the
top of the hood, the ceiling bracket must be mounted 1/4" below the ceiling.
The resulting space on top of the chimney can be filled with a 1/4” thick piece
of plywood cut to the inside cross section of the chimney cover and finished
to match the ceiling.
Copy the two mounting holes on the sides of the upper cover to the lower
cover.
Rear discharge:
A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood. For serviceability,
a mounting similar to the straight up discharge shown in Figure 4 should be
used.

cleaned, reset the reminder by pressing Motor OFF button for about 3 seconds until you hear the signal (beep).
Operating Instructions
The blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes before cooking in order to establish air currents upward through
the hood.
Use the low speeds for normal use and the higher speeds for strong odors or fumes.
Minimize cross drafts which will reduce the effectiveness of the hood.

They are made of anodized aluminum
• It is recommended that the filters be washed at least once a month; they
can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
• Drain water through edge holes and let each filter dry thoroughly before
replacing it.
To Remove The Metal Grease Filters
