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 filters.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the
surface element.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSON(S) 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 – This could cause
a violent steam explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you know how to
operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department has been called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
CAUTION
1. For indoor use only.
2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive
materials and vapors.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impeller, keep
drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.
4. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the
motor if it becomes overheated. The motor will restart when it will cool down. If
the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
5. The bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 24” and at a maximum of
30” above cooktop for best capture of cooking impurities.
6. Two installers are recommended because of the size of this hood.
7. To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do
not exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces,
or garages.
8. Be careful when installing the decorative flue and hood, they may have sharp
edges.
9. Please read specification label on product for further information and
requirements.

OPERATION
Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking to establish an air flow in the
kitchen. Let the blower run for a few minutes to clear the air after you turn off the
range.
The hood is operated using the push buttons on the front panel.
A B C D
A. DELAY SWITCH
When a blower speed is selected, press this switch to activate the delay func-
tion. The delay button will illuminate to indicate this function is activated. The
blower will continue to operate for 5 minutes and will stop automatically. To
cancel the delay function, press the delay switch once again.
B. START / STOP / SPEED SELECTION SWITCHES
Press the switch corresponding to the desired blower speed (from 1 for low
speed to 4 for high speed). The chosen switch will light. To turn off the blower,
press once more on the corresponding blower speed switch; the switch light
will shut off.
C. MASTER OFF / FILTER MAINTENANCE / HEAT SENTRY™
(TRIPLE FUNCTION SWITCH)
To turn off the blower and the light simultaneously, press this switch once. After
25 hours of operation, this switch will light to indicate the filters and the blower
wheel(s) need to be cleaned in order to maintain efficient operation of the unit.
The switch light will stay on until the function is reset by pressing this switch for
3 seconds. The light indicator is used for the Heat Sentry function as well.
HEAT SENTRY: When an excessively high temperature is detected, the Heat
Sentry takes control over the blower and sets it on speed 3. The triple-function
switch will flash.The blower will remain on until the heat condition is back to
normal. It will then return to the speed previously selected.
WARNING: The Heat Sentry can start the blower even if the hood is
turned off. When this situation occurs, it is impossible to turn the blower
off using the push buttons. If you must stop the blower, do it from the
main electrical panel.
D. LIGHT SWITCH
This switch allows three different lighting levels according to your needs. Press
once for nightlight, twice for normal or three times to obtain full intensity. To

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
For performance, appearance, and health reasons, clean filter, fan and grease-laden
surfaces regularly. Use only a clean cloth and mild detergent solution on stainless and
painted surfaces.
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.
Clean the non-duct recirculating filter surfaces frequently with a damp cloth and a mild
detergent. DO NOT immerse filters in water or put in dishwasher. Change the nonduct recirculating filters every 6 months. For replacement non-duct recirculating filters
- purchase S97018968 or Model AFCWTT32 (for 30” wide hood) or S97019039 or Model
AFCWTT326 (for 36” and 42” wide hoods).
The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings
make excessive or unusual noise, replace the blower assembly with an exact service
replacement.

A maximum of 30” above cooktop is highly recommended for best capture of
cooking impurities.
Distances over 30” are at the installer and users discretion; providing that the
ceiling height permits.
INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
(Ducted Hoods Only)
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. Larger ducting may be required for best
performance with longer duct runs.
4. Install wall cap or roof cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back
towards the hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork
sections.
