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 SEALED. 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 recommened 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 AVERTISSEMENT - POUR MINIMISER LE RISQUE D’UN FEU DE GRAISSE SUR LA TABLE DE CUISSON : a) Ne jamais laisser un élément de la table de cuisson fonctionner sans surveillance à la puissance de chauffage maximale; un renversement/ débordement de matière graisseuse pourrait provoquer une inflammation et le génération de fumée. Utiliser toujours une puissance de chauffage moyenne ou basse pour le chauffage d’huile. b) Veiller à toujours faire fonctionner le ventilateur de la hotte lors d’une cuisson avec une puissance de chauffage élevée ou lors de la cuisson d’un mets à flamber (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé). c) Nettoyer fréquemment les ventilateurs d’extraction. Veiller à ne pas laisser de la graisse s’accumuler sur les surfaces du ventilateur ou des filtres. d) Utiliser toujours un ustensile de taille appropriée. Utiliser toujours un ustensile de taille adapté à la taille de l’élément chauffant.

TO PAGE 4. WARNING - To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Use Only Metal Ductwork. 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.

• 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 A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC-only electrical supply is required on a separate 15 amp fused circuit. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

Because of the weight and size of the rangehood canopy, two or more people are needed to move and safely install the rangehood canopy. Failure to properly lift rangehood could result in damage to the product or personal injury. FIGURE 1

CALCULATE THE DUCTRUN LENGTH

For satisfactory performance the duct run should not exceed 50 equivalent feet if ducted using the required minimum 6" round duct. Calculate the length of the ductwork by adding the equivalent feet in FIGURE 2 for each piece of duct in the system An example is given in FIGURE 3. 45˚ Elbow 90˚ Elbow 90˚ Flat Elbow Wall Cap

For best results, use no more than three 90° elbows. Make sure that there is a minimum of 24" of straight duct between elbows if more than one is used. Do not install two elbows together. If you must elbow right away, do it as far away from the hood's exhaust opening as possible. 9 Feet Straight Duct

INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS The Synthesis chimneys are adjustable and designed to meet varying ceiling heights as indicated in FIGURE 4. The chimneys can be adjusted for ceilings between 7' 8 1/2" and 9' 5 7/8" depending on the distance between the bottom of the hood and the cooktop (distance x in FIGURE 4). 1” min 16 3/8” max upper chimney min & max ceiling height examples 22” 9 1/2” lower chimney x = 24" min 7' 8 1/2" max 8' 11 7/8" canopy 19 1/4”

For higher ceiling installations, the High Ceiling Chimney Kit includes a new 40” upper chimney which would replace the 16 3/8” upper chimney that came with the hood.

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. The canopy attaches to the wall by two mounting brackets

(1 in FIGURE 5). The canopy of the rangehood hangs on the two brackets which must be mounted with the flanges on the top of the bracket and pointing away from the wall. Before installing the brackets, the adjustment screws must be installed into the bottom of the bracket. These two screws are provided in the hardware package and have hexagon heads with a slot for a flat blade screwdriver. The dimensions illustrate mounting the canopy 24" above the cooking surface.

4. The chimney mounts by two brackets (2 in FIGURE 5).

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. 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.

5. Determine and make all necessary cuts in the wall for the

ductwork. Install the ductwork before the rangehood. cabinet base FIGURE 4

6. Determine the proper location for the Power Supply

Cable (FIGURE 6). 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. NOTE: The wiring box may be located on the right or left side in the hood. Use the mirror image of FIGURE 6 if located on the opposite side. An alternate method of bringing power to hood is feeding the cable thru the strain relief located next to the duct hole on top of the hood (on the centerline, 10" up from the bottom of the hood.) 30 MODELS FIGURE 5 36 MODELS FIGURE 6 Version 08/13- Page 6

INSTALL THE RANGEHOOD

FOR DUCTLESS INSTALLATIONS

1. Remove the unit from the carton and place on a flat surface

for assembly. Cover the surface to prevent accidental damage. Remove all parts including the mounting hardware before discarding the carton. Do not use the DAMPER (I In FIGURE 1) for ductless installations. The UPPER CHIMNEY COVER must be installed first, before the LOWER CHIMNEY DUCTLESS.

2. Remove the grease filters from the unit and set aside. The

grease filters are removed by pressing the handle in front of the filter (FIGURE 7). When replacing, make sure that the filters are properly positioned with the handles in front and visible. FIGURE 7 Ductless installations require a Ductless Conversion Kit. This kit consists of a LOWER CHIMNEY DUCTLESS (A in FIGURE

9) with holes for the exhaust air, a DUCTLESS DIVERTER (C),

two VENT GRIDS (B) to cover the holes in the chimney cover, and two CHARCOAL FILTERS (D). The DUCTLESS DIVERTER must be installed before the LOWER CHIMNEY DUCTLESS is attached (as indicated by the arrow in FIGURE 9). The LOWER CHIMNEY COVER without holes (B in FIGURE 1) should be discarded.

3. Remove the cover from the field wiring compartment. Remove

the wiring electrical knockout using a flat-blade screwdriver. Feed the Power Supply Cable through the electrical knockout.

4. Hang the canopy on the brackets (1 in FIGURE 8). There are

two rectangular holes on the rear of the canpoy. The brackets pass through these holes and the canopy hangs from the flanges on the brackets. Due to the weight of the canopy, two people should lift it to avoid injuries. Make sure that the canopy is secure on the brackets before releasing.

5. Level the canopy. The height and level of the canopy can

be adjusted by rotating the adjustment screws (W in FIGURE

8) on each side of the blower inside the rangehood.

FIGURE 8 FIGURE 9 Once the LOWER CHIMNEY DUCTLESS with holes is installed, the VENT GRIDS (B) are inserted into the holes (FIGURE 10).

6. Connect the Power Supply Cable to the rangehood. Attach

the White lead of the power supply to the White lead of the rangehood with a twist-on type wire connector. Attach the Black lead of the power supply to the Black lead of the rangehood with a twist-on type wire connector. Connect the Green (Green and Yellow) ground wire under the Green grounding screw. FIGURE 10 Attach the CHARCOAL FILTERS to both sides of the blower (as indicated in FIGURE 11). Install the grease filters.

7. Replace the field wiring compartment cover and the grease

8. 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. FIGURE 11 Version 08/13- Page 7

9. The chimney must be attached to the body of the rangehood, as indicated in FIGURE 12. The UPPER CHIMNEY COVER (C)

must be installed first, then the LOWER CHIMNEY COVER (B) wraps around it. Both sections are secured to the wall under the CHIMNEY MOUNTING BRACKETS (H). Secure the UPPER CHIMNEY COVER to the MOUNTING BRACKETS with the CHIMNEY SCREWS (J). Secure the LOWER CHIMNEY COVER to the CANOPY SECTION (A) with the CHIMNEY SCREWS (J). FIGURE 12 10. 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. Replacing the Lamps Purchase halogen bulb - (Max 20W, 12V, type MR11 bulb with glass lens) Before attempting to replace the lamps, make sure that the light switch is turned off, USE CAUTION AS THE BULB MAY BE HOT. Remove the 2 screws (as indicated in FIGURE 14) that hold the light support and gently pull the support down from the hood. Remove the lamp from the light support and replace with new lamp. Replace the light support and fix it into place with the 2 screws. FIGURE 13 An alternative method to replace the lamps is to use a 1 1/4" suction cup (FIGURE 15). Attach the suction cup to the bulb and pull firmly down on the bulb and replace with a new lamp. FIGURE 14 Version 08/13- Page 8
