SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS

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

WARNING:

All wall and floor openings where the vent hood is installed must be sealed.

Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given by the manufacturer before making any cutouts. MOBILE HOME INSTALLATIONThe installation of this Hood must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280). Three wire power supply must be used and the appliance wiring must be revised. See electrical requirements on page 1.

DO NOT use 4" laundry-type wall caps.

Flexible-type ductwork is not recommended.

DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Be sure a fresh air supply is available.

Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a fire.

Electrical ground is required on this Hood.

If cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, non-metallic gaskets or other materials, DO NOT use for grounding.

DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.

DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit could result in electrical shock.

FAN CONTROL

Turn to LO, MED, HI or MAX as needed. Continuous use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid. It also reduces cooking odors and soiling moisture that create a frequent need for cleaning.

ALWAYS USE THE MAX SETTING WHEN GRILLING.

LIGHT CONTROL

Turn to HI while cooking or to LO for use as a night light.

HOOD OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The blower should be turned on for a few minutes before cooking in order to establish air currents upward through the hood. Thus when heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors are produced, they will be carried outside instead of drifting into other rooms. Use the low speeds for normal use and the higher speeds for strong odors or fumes. Drafts across the range or cooktop will cause the escape of heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors from the hood. Such drafts should be prevented in so far as possible.The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where the only air currents are those created by the blower itself.

USE AND CARE

BLOWER

The motor is operated by LO/MED/HI/MAX speed control switch. You may change the speed of the motor depending on the amount of grease and smoke you are creating while cooking.

ALWAYS USE THE MAX SETTING WHEN GRILLING.

FILTERS AND DRIP TRAYS

These hoods have reusable metal grease baffles and drip trays. The metal baffles channel grease released by foods on the cooktop into the drip trays. The baffles also help prevent flaming foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the hood. For this reason, the baffles must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is used. The grease baffles and drip trays should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.

To clean the grease baffles and drip trays, drain and wipe all excess grease with a dry paper towel. Soak them and then swish them around in hot water and detergent. Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Rinse, shake and let them dry before replacing. They may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

TO REMOVE:

Grasp the baffle knobs and pull them up, forward and out.

Grasp the drip tray and carefully lift it up and out of the hood track.

To replace the drip trays:

1.Place and seat the drip tray into the hood track.

2.Slide them left or right until all trays are side-by-side in place in the track.

To replace the baffles:

1.Hold the baffle at the bottom by one of the knobs .

2.Place the other end of the baffle against the inside front of the hood.

3.Slide it up and push the bottom end back until it firmly seats into place.

To remove filters (Euro vent hood only):

1.Push handle towards the rear, then rotate the filters outwards.

2.To replace proceed in reverse order.
