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 or telephone number
listed in the warranty.
2.
Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off
at service panel and lock 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 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 additional solid-state
speed control device.

.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9.
This unit must be grounded. To provide protection
against electric shock, connect to properly grounded
outlets only.
10.
All tempered glass can experience spontaneous
breakage. If broken, tempered glass falls out of it’s
opening in interlocking clumps. Tempered glass
can, on occasion, break into large shards rather
than the classic tiny piece pattern.
11.
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.
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 fans, filters or
exhaust ducts.
d)
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.

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 impeller, 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.
The minimum hood distance above cooktop must
not be less than 30”. A maximum of 36” above
cooktop is highly recommended for best capture of
cooking impurities.
6.
Two installers are recommended because of the
large size and weight of this hood.
7.
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust
air, be sure to duct air outside – Do not exhaust air
into spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics,
crawl space or garage.
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.
To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, the
Venmar Connaisseur CIS700 Series models
should only be installed with their own built-in
blower.
