INTENDED FOR DOMESTIC COOKING ONLY

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 DUCT CONNECTOR

1. Fix the duct connector onto the hood; it must be fixed either by means of mounting screws (3.9x9.5mm).

Be careful to the position of the duct connector (see figure).

2. Remove the tape located on the damper.

2. Remove the grease filters : at the handle, push the stop inwards and pull the filters downwards.

3. Holding the ductfree filter on its side, insert one of the support rods, into the upper groove in back that runs parallel with the front of the hood, in order to avoid that the filter might be sucked onto the motor.

4. Fold the filter and insert it into the front, upper groove.

5. Install the other support rods beneath filters.

MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance of the unit.

Grease Filters

The grease filters should be cleaned fre- quently. 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.

Ductfree Filter

The ductfree filter should be changed every 6 months. To remove the filter refer to the section “DUCTFREE FILTER INSTALLATION”, and reverse the steps.

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

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.

● 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.

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 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.

HALOGEN BULBS

This range hood requires 2 (or 4) halogen bulbs (Type JC, 12Volt, 20 Watt Max, G-4 Base).

ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATIONS ON THE APPLIANCE.

To change bulbs:

1. Loosen the ring nut by turning it counterclockwise.

2. Remove the bulb by pulling sideward - DO NOT ROTATE. CAUTION: BULB

MAY BE HOT!

3. Replace with Type JC, 12Volt, 20 Watt Max, G-4 Base halogen bulb. Do not touch replacement bulb with bare hands!
