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

exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
3. Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.
4. Avoid using food products that produce flames under the Range Hood.
5. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
6. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall
spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

becomes overheated. The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues
to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
8. 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.

INSTALL JUNCTION BOXE
In the area marked “120 VAC INPUT”, place
a junction box on the top of the hood. Run the
wires through the hole below and secure with
(2) 3,9 x9,5 screws and (2) washers. See
Fig.3-4.
INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.
1. Decide where to install the duct.
2. A straight, short duct will allow the hood to
perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct, 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 the round metal
ductwork to cap and work back towards hood
location.
Non-Ducted configuration
Install a decorative grill (not supplied by Best).
You may need to purchase a metal round-torectangular transition depending on your
application.

MAINTENANCE
Grease Filters
The grease filter/s should be cleaned fre-
quently. Use a warm detergent solution. Grease
filters are dishwasher safe.
To take off the grease filter/s first open the
closure panel pulling downwards. See Fig.10
To take off the grease filter/s: at the handle,
push the stop inwards and pull the filters
downwards. See Fig.11.
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 Rinse water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth
to avoid water marks.
O For discolorations or deposits, use a non-
scratching household cleanser or stainless
steel polish with 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 the
"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.

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.
REMOTE CONTROL:
An optional ACR Series remote control (purchase separately) can be used to
operated the power pack.
