TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSON(S) OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intented 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 by pulling out the unit power cord from the
electrical outlet.
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), and 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 solid-state speed control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. When performing installation, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety
glasses and gloves.
10. 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.
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.
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.
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 flambeing food (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.

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.
1. For indoor use only.
2. AUTOMATICALLY OPERATED DEVICE. To reduce the risk of injury before servicing or removing
filters to clean the unit, switch power off by pulling out the unit power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
4. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray,
construction dust, etc. off power unit.
5. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the motor if it becomes
overheated. The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off and
restart, have the hood serviced.
6. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be at a minimum
distance of 20” (24” over a gas range) and a maximum of 30” above the cooking surface.
7. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air on a ducted installation, be sure to duct air
outside – Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics, crawl spaces, or garage.
8. Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

Make sure that the following items are included:
- Hood
- Filters
- Adapter/damper assembly 3¼’’ x 10’’ (located inside the hood, under the bottom panel)
- Bag of parts including:
(5) 1/2’’ double thread screws, (2) wire connectors and (6) 1/2’’ screws, (1) wire clamp*
*Wire clamp not needed

5. INSTALL THE ADAPTER
For an horizontal discharge installation only, fold down the adapter/damper foldable flange (C).
This flange must be at 90° from the remaining flanges. For a vertical discharge installation
only, leave the adapter/damper foldable flange (C) as is. This flange must be located towards the
front of the hood. See illustrations below.
HO0057
HJ0006
Using (2) 1/2’’ screws, secure the adapter to the top or back of the hood. Tape the adapter to the
hood using metal foil duct tape to seal it.
NOTE: For the best ventilation performance, if a round duct must be used, the duct diameter
must be 6” or more. Use a 3¼” x 10” to 6” round transition. The wall duct must be well
prepared to receive the adapter.
Before performing the installation, make sure the adapter fits easily in the duct. If this
hood replaces another one, please note that location of the air exhaust can vary from one
manufacturer to another.
6. INSTALL THE HOOD
Place the hood at its location. Mark the position of the
screws (smaller part of the embossed key holes) with a
pen. Remove the hood and install the (4) 1⁄2” double
thread screws leaving a 1⁄8” gap. Place the hood under
the cabinet and slide it in position. Make sure the
adapter/damper assembly enters the ducting. Secure the
hood by tightening the screws completely. Insert the last
1⁄2” double thread screw in the remaining embossed
hole. Make sure the damper over the adapter opens
freely.

This range hood requires two 120 V, 50 W max., type MR16 with GU10 base or PAR16 with
GU10 base, shielded halogen lamps (not included).
AUTOMATICALLY OPERATED DEVICE. To reduce the risk of injury before
servicing or removing filters to clean the unit, switch power off by pulling out
the unit power cord from the electrical outlet.
10. CLEANING
The filters, bottom panel, intake ring (A) and blower
wheel (B) should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm
detergent solution. The filters, intake ring and blower
wheel are dishwasher safe.
Clean all-metal filters in the diswasher using a
non-phophate detergent. Discoloration of the filter may
occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of
local water conditions, but this will not affect filter
performance. This discoloration is not covered by the
warranty.
To remove the blower wheel, first take off the intake ring.
Then remove the blower wheel by pulling it down smoothly.
NOTE: Do not try to remove the black part (C) attached to the bottom panel.
There is a tab on the interior ring of the wheel, make sure it fits into
one of the holes on the motor (you will feel it fall into position), when
reinstalling the wheel.
Clean the hood with warm water and mild detergent only. If discoloration
occurs, use a good enamel polish such as automotive polish. (DO
NOT use rough abrasive cleaner or porcelain cleaner).
