WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS, 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 listed in the warranty.
2. 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.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
a qualifi ed person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fi re-rated codes and
standards.
4. Suffi cient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the fl ue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. 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.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. When performing installation, servicing or cleaning
the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and
gloves.
7. Do not use this range hood with any additional solid
state speed control device.
8. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
9. To reduce the risk of fi re, use only metal ductwork.
10. This unit must be grounded.
11. When applicable local regulations comprise more
restrictive installation and/or certifi cation 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:
1. 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.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when fl ambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on fan, fi lters or in exhaust
ducts.
4. 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*:
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fi tting lid, cookie
sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the fl ames 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 already know how to operate it.
B. The fi re is small and contained in the area where it
started.
C. The fi re department is being called.
D. You can fi ght the fi re with your back to an exit.
*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
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 impellers, 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 cools down.
If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the
hood serviced.
5. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of
the hood should be at a minimum distance of 24” and
a maximum of 30” above the cooking surface.
6. To reduce the risk of fi re 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.
7. This product is equipped with a thermostat which
may start blower automatically. To reduce the risk
of injury and to prevent power from being switch on
accidentally, switch power off at service panel and
lock or tag service panel.
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. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
10. Please read specifi cation label on product for further

grease - like frying foods or wok cooking.
Remove fi lters by pulling latch tabs and rotating fi lters
downward.
OPERATION OPERATION
Always turn ON your hood before you begin cooking in
order to establish an air fl ow in the kitchen. Let the blower run

1. Blower Auto OFF switch 4. Filter maintenance indicator
2. ON/OFF Blower speed switches 5. Nightlight switch
3. Halogen lights switch
ON/OFF Blower speed switches
Press the switch corresponding to the desired blower speed.
The light over the switch indicates the selected speed (from 1
for low speed to 4 for high speed). To turn off the blower,
press once more on the corresponding blower speed switch.
NOTE: When speed 1 is chosen, the blower will operate
at high speed for less than one second and then
revert back to speed 1. This operation is normal
and is designed for optimal blower performance.
HEAT SENTRY™
Your hood is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY thermostat.
This thermostat is a device that will turn on or speed up the
blower if it senses excessive heat above the cooking surface.
The light indicator over speed 3 switch will quickly fl ash.
1) If blower is OFF - it turns blower ON to speed 3.
2) If blower is ON at a lower (or higher) speed setting - it
turns blower to speed 3.
When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower
will return to its original setting and the light indicator
over speed 3 switch will stop fl ashing.
Halogen lights switch
This switch provides 3 diff erent lighting levels, according
to your needs. The lighting intensity changes by increments
of 1 (e.g.: Press once for low intensity, once again to get
more, up to three times). From the higher intensity, press
once again to shut off the lights.
Uses 120 Volts, 50 W, MR 16 with GU10 base or PAR 16
with GU10 base, shielded halogen bulbs (included).
WARNING: The HEAT SENTRY thermostat can
start the blower even if the hood is turned OFF. If
this occurs, press the speed 3 switch until its light
indicator stops fl ashing if you must stop the blower.
Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel cleaning:
How to maintain its “BRIGHT LOOK”
Do:
- Regularly wash surfaces with clean cloth or rag soaked
with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.
- Always clean in the direction of original polish lines.
- Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after
cleaning. Wipe dry completely.
- You may also use a specialized household stainless steel
cleaner.
Do not:
- Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other
scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
- Use any harsh or abrasive cleaners.
- Allow dirt to accumulate.
- Let plaster dust or any other construction residues
reach the hood. During construction/renovation, cover
the hood to make sure no dust sticks to stainless steel
surface.
Avoid when choosing a detergent:
- Any cleaners that contains bleach will attack stainless
steel.
- Any products containing: chloride, fl uoride, iodide,
bromide will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.
- Any combustible products used for cleaning such
as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol, etc., are highly
explosive and should not be used close to a range.
Enamel Finish:
Clean 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).
Auto OFF switch
When a speed is selected, press the Auto OFF switch to
activate the delay function. The corresponding speed
indicator LED will start fl ashing to indicate this function is
activated. The fan will continue to operate for 5 minutes
and will stop automatically. To cancel the delay function,
press the Auto OFF switch once again; the blower will then
work in normal mode.
NOTE: The blower speed can be increased - or decreased -
during Delay mode without starting another
5-minute cycle.
