INTENDED FOR DOMESTIC COOKING ONLY.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL 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 (NFP A), 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 solid-state speed control device.

8. T o 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. 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 T OP 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, EVACUA TE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPAR TMENT .

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

3. DO NOT USE WA TER, 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. Y ou can fight the fire with your back to an exit. * Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety T ips” published by NFP A.

CAUTION

1. To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

2. Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.

3. Avoid using food products that produce flames under the Range Hood.

4. For general ventilating use only . Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

5. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

6. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.

7. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be a minimum of 24" and a maximum of 30" above the cooking surface. See “Install Mounting Bracket” section for mounting instructions.

8. Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this hood.

9. 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.

10. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.

11. Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

and off. The blower on-low / off switch turns the blower

on to its lowest running speed. The blower

must be turned on using this switch. Turn the blower off by pressing this switch a second time.

The blower medium speed switch changes the blower speed to medium. This switch works only if the blower is already running at low or high speed.

The blower high speed switch changes the blower speed to high. This switch works only if the blower is already running at low or medium speed.

The pilot lamp lights up whenever the blower is on.

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 HEA T 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.

HALOGEN BULBS

This range hood requires two or four halogen bulbs (Type JC, 12V, 20W, G4 Base).

To change bulbs:

1. Open the light lens by grasping the tab on the lens and rotating lens downward.

2. Remove the bulb by pulling sideward (Do not rotate). CAUTION: BULB MAY BE HOT!

3. Do not touch replacement bulb with bare hands! Push bulb securely into lamp socket and snap lens closed.

MAINTENANCE

Grease Filters

The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution to clean filters. Filters are dishwasher safe. See “INSTALL FILTER” section for installation and removal instructions.

Ductfree Filters

The ductfree filter should be changed every 6 months. See “INSTALL FILTER” section for installation and removal instructions.

Hood Cleaning

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

Cleaning tips:

• Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.

• Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.

• 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.

• For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the stainless finish. A void using too much pressure which may mar the surface.

• DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.

• DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface causing rust.

• 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.

If optional Model BSK6 series backsplash is used, attach it to the finished wall. Secure hood mounting brackets to the backsplash and omit wall framing described below.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

DUCTED CONFIGURA TION ONLY

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

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.

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.

4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect 6" round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

INSTALL MOUNTING

FRAMING BEHIND CROSS SUPPORT

BRACKETS

1. Construct wood wall framing that is flush with interior surface of wall studs.

Make sure: a) the framing is centered over installa-

tion location.

b) the height of the framing will allow the

mounting brackets to be secured to the framing within the dimensions shown.

After wall surface is finished, secure mounting brackets to framing using dimensions shown.
