WARNING WARNING

- 2 -

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.

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

9. This unit must be grounded.

10. 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 fan or filter.

d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate

for the size of the surface element.

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—This could cause a violent steam explosion.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you

know how to operate it.

B. The fire is small and contained in the area

where it started.

C. The fire department has been called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

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 impellers, 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 will be
cooled down. If the motor continues to shut off and
restart, have the hood serviced.

5. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom
of the hood should be at a minimum of 30” and at
a maximum of 36” above the cooking surface.

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. This product is equipped with a thermostat which
may start blower automatically. To reduce the risk
of injury and to prevent power from being switched
on accidentally, switch power off at service panel
and lock or tag service panel.

9. Because of the high exhausting capacity of this
hood, you should make sure enough air is entering
the house to replace exhausted air. Use an appropriate
make-up air device or open a window close to or in
the kitchen.

10. To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, the
Best IP29M Series hood must be installed with
Best interior blower models

P6 or P12; Best exterior

blower models

EB6, EB9, EB12 or EB15; Best
in-line blowers models ILB3, ILB6, ILB9, ILB11.

20. USE AND CARE

Evolution™ Hybrid Baffle Filters

The Evolution™ hybrid baffle filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. Wash more often if your cooking style
generates greater grease—like frying foods or wok cooking.
Remove Evolution™ hybrid baffle filters by pushing them towards the back of hood and rotating filters downward. Slide out the
secondary micromesh filter from the back of each hybrid baffle filter before cleaning. Baffle filters are dishwasher safe. Clean secondary
filters with a warm detergent solution. Allow filters to dry completely before reinstalling them in the hood.

Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filter may occur if using phosphate detergent
or as a result of local water conditions—but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.

Grease Drip Rail

The grease drip rail should be cleaned frequently. Lift it out from the hood and use a warm detergent solution. As for the baffle filters,
wash more often if your cooking style generates greater grease—like frying foods or wok cooking. Allow grease drip rail to dry completely
before reinstalling it in the hood.

Blower Cleaning

Remove the filters in order to access the blower. Vacuum blower to clean. Do not immerse in water. Refer to blower instruction manual
for more details.

Hood Cleaning

Stainless steel cleaning: How to maintain its “BRIGHT LOOK”

Do:

• Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag soaked with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.

• Always clean in the direction of original polish lines.

• Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after cleaning. Wipe dry completely.

• You may also use a specialized household stainless steel cleaner.

Don’t:

• Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.

• Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.

• Allow dirt to accumulate.

• Let plaster dust or any other construction residues reach the hood. During construction or renovation, cover the hood to make sure
no dust sticks to stainless steel surface.

Avoid: When choosing a detergent

• Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack stainless steel.

• Any products containing: chloride, fluoride, iodide, bromide will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.

• Any combustible products used for cleaning such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol, etc., are highly explosive and should never be
used close to a range.

19. LIGHT BULBS REPLACEMENT

This hood must use 120 V, 50 W, MR16 with GU10 base or PAR16 with GU10 base, shielded halogen lamps (included).

WARNING

• When the sensor is activated, the blower turns ON automatically when some particulates, vapors or smokes caused by cooking

process, or abnormal gas emissions in the environment are detected. The blower speed is automatically set depending on the
particulates amount and the sensibility settings of the particulates sensor. See next paragraph.

• To stop the particulates sensor function, press on Enable/Disable functions push-button until particulates sensor icon turns off.

Particulates sensor sensibility settings

• Press on Enable/Disable functions push-button (item 3 on illustration above) to activate the particulate sensor function, this will light

up the particulates sensor icon (item 7 on illustration above). Then, press and maintain for 2 seconds the Enable/Disable functions
push-button: the sensor sensivity level will appear on center icon (item 8 on illustration above).

• Press again on this push-button to change the sensor sensitivity level (from 0 [minimum sensitivity] up to 9 [maximum sensitivity]).

• Press on the grease filter reset push button (item 4 on the illustration above) to confirm (or is confirmed automatically after 5 seconds).

Air Refresh

• To activate the air refresh function, press on Enable/Disable functions push-button (item 3 on illustration above), the air refresh function

icon (item 9 on illustration above) will appear.

• To stop the air refresh function, press on Enable/Disable functions push-button until air refresh icon turns off.

• Air refresh function activates only when blower is OFF. When activated, the blower hood recycles the air in the environment in

perfect silence, starting every 50 minutes (for 10 minutes, on first speed).
