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 steel ductwork.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly 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 flambeing food (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.

CALIBRATE IQ BLOWER SYSTEM
TM
INTERNAL BLOWER DUCTED UNITS ONLY
After the hood is installed and wired, engage the calibration process (our Guaranteed Performance
System Technology to ensure full-rated airflow is being delivered). Prior to calibration, ensure that all
filters, light bulbs and duct system are installed.
CALIBRATION PROCESS
Hold the calibration button for 3 seconds; calibration button will light up and stay on for up to 13 minutes.
The blower will start and begin the calibration process. When calibration is complete, one of two things
will occur:
1. The blower turns off and
calibration button light stays on = Successful calibration. Press the button
to turn off the LED. Note: The LED will also turn off if you select any blower speed on the control.
2. The blower turns off and
calibration button light blinks continuously = Too much restriction in the
ductwork is preventing the IQ Blower System™ from achieving the rated airflow. The blower is
automatically set to maximum intensity.
NOTE: Common items that cause restrictions: restricted damper flap (backdraft damper, wall cap,
roof cap), too many elbows, duct size less than 80% of hood outlet, poor transition, use of flex ducting
and/or crushed ducting.
Three options are available if your hood system has too much restriction:
1. Accept airflow as is.
a. Press the calibration button to accept airflow as is. The IQ Blower System™ is nowconfigured to
the highest possible performance. The blinking calibration light goes out. Note: The LED will also
turn off if you select any blower speed on the control.
2. Correct duct restriction, clear the original calibration data, and repeat the calibration process.
a. Correct the duct restriction.
b. Clear the original calibration data by holding calibration button for 10 seconds. The light will blink
3 times to confirm and the blower configuration will go back to default settings.
c. Repeat calibration process from the beginning.
3. Clear calibration data to reset hood to default factory setting and achieve standard high
pressure blower performance.
a. Clear calibration data and reset hood to factory default setting by holding calibration
button for 10 seconds. The light will blink 3 times to confirm and the blower configuration
will go back to default settings.
