VENTLESS HOOD

UNPACKING and SET-UP

The Alto-Shaam Ventless Hood has been thoroughly
tested and inspected to insure only the highest quality unit is
provided. When you receive your hood, check for any
possible shipping damage and report it at once to the
delivering carrier.

Save all the information and instructions packed inside
the carton. Complete and return the warranty card to the
factory as soon as possible to assure prompt service in the
event of a warranty parts and labor claim.

NOTE

: All claims for warranty must include the full model number

and serial number of the unit.

OPERATION

The Ventless Hood is factory installed directly on the
top of the Alto-Shaam

® Combitherm® oven. The hood is

designed to vent clean air back into the kitchen, filtering
vapors and grease. A high-power fan draws steam and
fumes into the hood intake and out the top surface exhaust
vent. Fumes and vapors are circulated through filters
draining the condensation through a drain at the rear of the
hood. An activated charcoal filter cleans the air before
venting it out the top of the hood.

Turn the ventless hood ON before operation of the
Combitherm oven. There are a number of safety features
incorporated into the operation of the hood which are
directly related to the interaction of hood function and the
operation of the combination oven/steamer.

VENTLESS HOOD INTERLOCK SWITCHES

— CHARCOAL FILTER SWITCH, GREASE FILTER SWITCH:

Prevents hood and oven operation if any filter is not in
place or is improperly installed.

— FAN PRESSURE SWITCH: Prevents Combitherm oven

operation if hood fan is not operating or if the filters are
more than 25% blocked.

TIMED LATCHING MECHANISM

— In order to evacuate steam and grease-laden air from

the oven interior, this mechanism briefly prevents the
operator from fully opening the oven door. The
mechanism automatically disengages at the end of a
pre-set time allowing full door extension.

RESET SWITCH

— The Reset has to be used if the Combitherm oven is turned on

before the hood or if the hood was opened. It resets the
pressure switch circuit and provides power to the

Combitherm control circuit. This switch must also be used to
reset hood controls after any problem with the filters, or the
improper latching of the ventless hood door. See illustrations
on following pages of this manual.

1. An identification tag is permanently mounted on the back of
the ventless hood.

2. The interconnenct cord from the ventless hood to the
Combitherm oven provides full power connection.
