IMPERIAL C2000PSB (01) PDF Document

Before starting the installation of the IMPERIAL C2000PSB, inspect your range hood prior to installing. Any cosmetic defects must be reported prior to installation. Save all original packaging if you wish to return for any reason.

FIRST: Check your local building and electrical codes.

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, Do Not use any two speed motor units with a Solid State control devise.

To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air to the outside. DO NOT vent exhaust air into spaces within wall, attics, ceilings, crawl spaces or garages.

When venting to the outside make duct run as short and straight as possible. Avoid using elbows if at all possible. If elbows are used, we recommend that the first elbow is 24 inches from vent opening on the hood (minimum of 6 inches) and at least 24 inches between it and the next elbow. We strongly recommend no more then two 90 degree elbows in any duct run.

DO NOT use duct pipe smaller than the outlet duct opening on the hood, this will reduce performance and void the warranty. DO NOT use flex ducting. Also, use either a Roof Cap or Wall Cap to end run. Be sure that all joints are taped securely in place.

It is essential to have the proper distance between the bottom of the range hood and the cooking surface below. In most cases the cooking appliance manufacturers specifications will establish the fire safe minimum distance required, although there are other factors to consider:

• Local Building Codes
• Cross directional air movements ie: open windows, air conditioning/heating outlets, cooling fans, etc.
• Overall size of the cooking appliance and surrounding countertop surfaces.
• Range hood model selected.

Minimum distance between cooking surface and the bottom of the hood is 30 inches and 36 inches is the maximum distance. Keep in mind, increasing the distance will decrease the performance.

Transitioning two pipes into one is NOT recommended for the IMPERIAL C2000PSB. CFMs are reduced by 25% and the Performance warranty will be void.

1. Scribe line below top of cabinet to meet with bottom of hood. Repeat on the opposite cabinet.

2. Position 4 inches x 11 1/4 inches x 3/4 inch wood block flat on side of cabinet with end of filler block against wall and secure with screws. Remove Filters.

3. Raise and position Power Liner so that bottom is level with scribed lines on cabinets and drive screws through holes in the ends of the Powered Liner. Use the exclusive positioning kit if needed. The duct pipe or pipes should slip into the Automatic Seal Vent Collar. Be sure to remove the black tape that holds the Damper blades closed.

4. If required additional mounting at the Rear of unit: Locate wall studs, drill holes through back of Powered Liner to hit studs and attach the Liner to the wall with screws.

5. Island and Peninsula Powered Liners should be mounted in the same way except there will be no rear wall mount.

6. Bring conduit down 4 inches past the bottom of the liner. Note: Top box for the C2000BP1 shows vent opening Off set to the left (facing the hood). The lower box is the same size as in the drawing to the right.

7. Remove junction box cover from the C2000. (Be sure to comply with all local electrical and safety codes).

8. Hook up electrical wires and secure reattach junction box.

9. Replace junction box cover. Install lights and replace filters. For Baffle Filters, install grease tray towards the back of liner. Take one baffle, slide between steel strips towards the front of the liner and push back into grease tray grooves, then slide to one side. Insert second baffle the same way and slide to opposite side. (Grease holes, on bottom of baffle must be inserted into grease tray) Take Center Panel and slide in towards the front of the liner and push back into grease tray.

The top box dimension for the C2000PSB is 6 inches high.

The parts needed are: 2 Baffles, 1 Grease Tray, 1 Center Panel.

1. Insert Grease tray to the bottom/back of the ventilator.

2. Grease tray slides in between steel strip.

3. Take one Baffle and insert the larger side into the steel strips in the top/front of ventilator and push filter back into grease tray. Slide to one side. Take the other filter and repeat instructions and slide to opposite side.

4. Slide Center Panel between steel strips in the top/front and push back into grease tray. Handle should be to the front of the ventilator.

This product has the simplest of cleaning requirements. To remove Baffle Filters, remove center panel by pulling panel toward the front of the hood, lift up to remove. Move filters to the center of the hood, pull baffle towards the front of the hood and lift out. To remove grease tray, slide tray to the top of the hood and lift out. Clean filters often for the best performance. How often depends on amount and type of cooking.

When cleaning a painted hood, wash it with mild, soapy water ONLY! Wipe the hood thoroughly with clean water and dry with soft cloth. When cleaning Stainless Steel use a cleaner specifically for Stainless Steel. Always rub with the grain using non-abrasive cleaning materials. AVOID detergents, disinfectants or cleaning products in aerosol cans. NEVER use abrasive scouring powders on your hood! Some cleaning chemicals may damage the hood finish!
