READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU START INSTALLING THIS RANGEHOOD

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 setting.

b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food
(i.e. Crepes 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 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.

(*) Based on "Kitchen Firesafety Tips" published by NFPA.

ALL WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS WHERE THE RANGEHOOD IS INSTALLED MUST BE SEATED.

This rangehood requires at least 24" of clearance between the bottom of the rangehood and the cooking surface or countertop. This minimum clearance may be higher depending on local building code. For example, for gas ranges, a minimum of 30" is recommended and may be required. Overhead cabinets on both sides of this unit must be a minimum of 18" above the cooking surface or countertop. Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given by the manufacturer before making any cutouts.

LISEZ BIEN CETTE FICHE AVANT D'INSTALLER LA HOTTE

Determine which venting method is best for your application. Ductwork can extend either through the wall or the roof.

The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or floor opening around the cap.

Flexible ductwork is not recommended. If it is used, each foot of flexible ductwork used is equivalent to two feet of straight metal ductwork when calculating the ductrun length. Thus, a flexible elbow equals two standard elbows.

Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making cutouts. Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.

FOR MORE SPECIFIC DUCTWORK INFORMATION, GO TO PAGE 4.

WARNING - To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Use Only Metal Ductwork.

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.

Cold Weather installations

An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close as possible to where the vent system enters the heated portion of the house.

WARNING

• Venting system MUST terminate outside the home.
• DO NOT terminate the ductwork in an attic or other enclosed space.
• DO NOT use 4" laundry-type wall caps.
• Flexible-type ductwork is not recommended.
  DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a fire.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

FIGURE 3

The Gemma chimneys are adjustable and designed to meet varying ceiling heights as indicated in (FIGURE 4). The chimneys can be adjusted for ceilings between 7^7^ and 8^103 / 8^ depending on the distance between the bottom of the hood and the cooktop (distance x in FIGURE 4).

1. Disconnect and move freestanding range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to upper cabinet and rear wall. Put a thick, protective covering over cooktop, set-in range or countertop to protect from damage or dirt.
2. Determine and clearly mark with a pencil the center line on the wall where the rangehood will be installed.
3. Based on your ceiling height and/or personal preference, determine the distance you would like between the bottom of the hood and the cooktop (SEE FIGURE 4 AND 5). The dimensions illustrate mounting the canopy 24^ above the cooking surface.

NOTE: if installing the hood ductless, do not install the (top) upper chimney bracket until after installing the ductless kit

1. The chimney mounts by two brackets (E in FIGURE 1). Note the position of the brackets. The top bracket should be installed about 1/8 away from the ceiling. The bottom bracket must be installed at the bottom point of the upper chimney sleeve. See "Y" in FIGURE 5, and use 2 screws (G in FIGURE 1) to attach each of the brackets to the wall. Use the center line on the wall as the middle point for the chimney brackets.
2. For the most secure installation, the MOUNTING SCREWS (D in FIGURE 1) which mount the CANOPY SECTION (A in FIGURE 1) should be installed into wood. Mark the wall along the horizontal line 49/16'' in from the center line on either side (as indicated in X - FIGURE 5) and install the MOUNTING SCREWS into the wall leaving about 1/4'' gap between the wall and the head of the screw.

Determine the proper location for each bracket and install the brackets on the wall. MAKE SURE THAT THE BRACKETS ARE SECURELY FASTENED TO THE WALL.
6. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the ductwork. Install the ductwork before the rangehood if ducting outside.
7. Determine the proper location for the Power Supply Cable. Use a 1 1/4" Drill Bit to make this hole. Run the Power Supply Cable. Use caulking to seal around the hole. DO NOT turn on the power until installation is complete.

Using the 4 holes provided screw the Field Wiring Compartment to the wall as dictated by your Power Supply Cable location (screws not provided). Replace the cover.
2. For ducted installations, the damper must be attached to the exhaust opening on the top of the canopy. Connect the ductwork and seal all connections with duct tape. If installing the hood ductless, go to "FOR DUCTLESS INSTALLATIONS".
3. See FIGURE 1 for reference, The Upper chimney cover can be installed with the side vent holes on the top towards the ceiling, or flip the chimney and hide the holes under the lower chimney. Install the UPPER CHIMNEY COVER (B in FIGURE 1) by slightly widening the two sides and hooking them behind the CHIMNEY MOUNTING BRACKETS (E). Secure the sides to the CHIMNEY MOUNTING BRACKETS with the 4 CHIMNEY SCREWS (G). Install the LOWER CHIMNEY COVER (C) by slightly widening the two sides of the LOWER CHIMNEY COVER and hooking them between the UPPER CHIMNEY COVER and the wall making sure that it fits snugly. Secure the LOWER CHIMNEY COVER to the CANOPY SECTION (A) with 2 CHIMNEY SCREWS (G).

FOR DUCTLESS INSTALLATIONS

The UPPER CHIMNEY COVER must be installed first, before the LOWER CHIMNEY.

Ductless installations require a Ductless Conversion Kit, purchased separately (FIGURE 7). This kit consists of a CHARCOALFILTER(A in FIGURE7),a DUCTLESSDIVERTER (B) and EXTENSION PIECES (C), and the DIVERTER WALL SUPPORT (D), and SCREW (E).

1) See (FIGURE 8), Step 1 - connect B (Diverter) and C (2 - Diverter extension) pieces together, one on each end. Hold the (E) Diverter wall support on the wall 1/8 from the ceiling using the center line as a middle reference point. Using 2 screws, attach the chimney bracket on top of (D) the diverter wall support together into the wall. Step 2 - Attach the diverter and extension pieces (B, C) to the diverter wall support with a screw (E).
2) Use a small amount of 6 inch round metal ducting (purchased seperately), to connect the duct exit on top of the canopy to the ductless diverter near the ceiling. Tape the duct at the top and bottom to seal.
3) Step 3, Attach the upper chimney to the top and bottom chimney brackets, by wrapping the chimney behind the wall brackets, and Step 4 use the chimney screws to secure the chimney to the brackets. Wrap the lower chimney cover over the upper cover, and screw the lower chimney to the canopy at the bottom.

4) Install the CHARCOAL FILTER behind the center grease filter opening by inserting and locking into place, as indicated in FIGURE 9. Replace the grease filters back into the bottom of the hood and snap into place.

ALL INSTALLATIONS

Turn the power supply on. Turn on blower and light. If the rangehood does not operate, check that the circuit breaker is not tripped or the house fuse blown. If the unit still does not operate, disconnect the power supply and check that the wiring connections have been made properly.

USE AND CARE INFORMATION

This rangehood system is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors and odors from the cooktop area.

For Best Results

Start the rangehood several minutes before cooking to develop proper airflow. Allow the unit to operate for several minutes after cooking is complete to clear all smoke and odors from the kitchen.

Cleaning

The metal grease filters should be cleaned frequently in hot detergent solution or washed in the dishwasher. Stainless steel cleaner should be used on stainless rangehoods. Abrasives and scouring agents can scratch stainless steel finishes and should not be used to clean finished surfaces. To remove the grease filter see FIGURE 10

Replacing the Lamps
