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 panel 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 a qualified person(s) 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 separate solid-state speed control device.

8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

9. This unit must be grounded.

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 cooking flaming foods. (i.e.

Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).

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:*

1. 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.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - violent steam explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate

it. B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. C. The fire department is being called. D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit. * Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

EXTERIOR OR IN-LINE BLOWER SELECTION

CAUTION: Either an exterior blower or in-line blower may be used with this hood. The IEX222 hood must be installed with blower models EB6, EB9, EB12, EB15, ILB3, ILB6, ILB9, or ILB11 only. Other Blowers cannot be substituted (Blowers sold separately). The blower must be UL listed for Canadian and U.S. use, and evaluated for use with solid state speed control, rated 120V, 60 Hz, 6.0 A max.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

1. Choose the location where the Exterior or In-Line Blower will be mounted. See

illustrations below for mounting location suggestions and restrictions.

2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.

3. Long duct runs, elbows and transitions will reduce the performance of the

hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with long duct runs.

4. After the Exterior or In-Line Blower has been installed, connect round metal

ductwork and work back towards the hood location. Use duct tape to seal joints between ductwork sections.

5. An 8” round to 10” round transition (Model 414) is required. For best air

performance, install the transition as close to the range hood as possible.

MAINTENANCE

Grease Filters

The grease filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of operation. This range hood has an operation timer which will alert you after every 30 hours of use by lighting a red LED above the “blower speed 0-1 button”. Use a warm detergent solution. Grease filters are dishwasher safe.

To take off the grease filters: at the handle, push the stop inwards and pull the filters downwards.

Hood Cleaning

Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help preserve its fine appearance.

Cleaning tips:

O Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed. O Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to

avoid water marks.

O For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser

or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.

O For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with

cleaser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar the surface.

O DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time. O DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere

to the surface causing rust.

O DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to

remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.

The blower on-off / speed 1 switch turns the blower on to its lowest running speed. To turn OFF the blower, push in and hold this blower switch for approximately 2 seconds.

The blower speed 2 switch turns the blower on to medium-low running speed. Pressing this switch a second time sets a timer which keeps the blower operating at this speed for 10 minutes. The LED will blink during this time and the blower will shut off automatically.

The blower speed 3 and blower speed 4 switches operate the same as blower speed 2 switch except: Blower speed 3 is medium-high and blower speed 4 is high.

After every 30 hours of operation, the LED above the “blower speed 1 switch” will be illuminated (RED) and blink for 30 seconds after turning off the blower. This is a reminder to clean the grease filters. Once the grease filters are cleaned and installed, press in and hold the “light switch” button for approximately 2 seconds during the blink of the LED.

HEAT SENTRY™

Your hood is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY™ thermostat. This thermostat is a device that will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the cooking surface.

1) If blower is OFF - it turns blower ON to HIGH speed.

2) If blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns blower up to HIGH speed. When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original setting.

WARNING The HEAT SENTRY thermostat can start the blower even if the hood is turned OFF. When this occurs, it is impossible to turn the blower OFF with its switch. If you must stop the blower, do it from the main electrical panel.
