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 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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

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

Motor

The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings make excessive or unusual noise, replace the motor with the exact service motor. The impeller should also be replaced.

Grease Filters

The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. Grease filters are dishwasher safe.

Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filter may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions - but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty. See “INSTALL FILTERS” section for removal and installation instructions.

Stainless Steel Cleaning DO:

• Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag

soaked with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.

• Always clean in the direction of original

polish lines.

• Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3

times) after cleaning. Wipe dry completely.

• You may also use a specialized

household stainless steel cleaner.

Avoid: When choosing a detergent

• Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack stainless steel

• Any products containing: chloride, fluoride, iodide, bromide will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.

• Any combustible products used for cleaning such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol,

etc., are highly explosive and should never be used close to a range.

DON’T:

• Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.

• Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.

• Allow dirt to accumulate.

• Let plaster dust or any other construction residues reach the hood. During construction/renovation, cover the range hood to make sure no dust sticks to the stainless steel surface.

CALIBRATE IQ BLOWER SYSTEM

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.
