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.

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. Use duct tape to seal the joints between

ductwork sections.

Ducted configuration:
Install a roof or wall cap. Connect 6" round metal

ductwork (8” for version 2 motors) to cap and
work back towards hood location.

MAINTENANCE

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 first open the grille
making the two knobs rotate towards outside;
take off stop and make the filters slip toward the
right while they get off the guides.

Ductfree Filters (ductfree configuration)

The ductfree filters should be changed every 6
months. Purchase a ductfree filter kit (ROUND
FILTER - Cod. B03300498) from your dealer.
Rotate the filters to remove and replace.

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 wa-

ter. 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 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.
