Unpacking and Handling

Inspection for Shipping Damage

YOU are responsible for filing all freight claims with the delivering truck line. Inspect all cartons and crates

for damage as soon as they arrive. If damage to cartons or pallets is found, or if a shortage is found, note
this on the bill of lading (all copies) prior to signing and receiving.

If damage is found when the equipment is opened, immediately call the delivering truck line and follow up
the call with a written report indicating concealed damage to your shipment. Ask for an immediate
inspection of your concealed damage item. Packaging material MUST be retained to show the inspector
from the shipping line.

6. Reset control head. With control head NOT installed on cylinder, dry test system by activating the
remote pull.

7. Reset control head and activate system per Range Guard procedures.

8. Recheck installation procedure to insure that nothing has been overlooked.

Wiring

Electrocution, equipment failure or property damage could result if an unlicensed
electrician performs the electrical installation. Ensure that a licensed

electrician performs the electrical installation using appropriate materials
and construction practices which conform to the National Electric Code
and all local codes.

In the event of an appliance fire, serious injury, property damage or death could
occur if the appliance is powered from a source other than the hood. The cooking
appliance used under this hood MUST receive its input power from the hood. In
the event of a fire, the hood fire extinguishing system will automatically remove
power from the connected appliance.

The fire extinguishing system must be operative before the electrical system will
function.

Refer to the electrical diagram included in this manual (see page 26).

The hood may be connected to either a 208/120V or a 240/120V supply. The supply may be either 3
phase or 1 phase. The hood as supplied, is connected for single phase operation. When a three phase
supply is available, it can be internally reconnected for three phase operation to balance load. Refer to
the directions on the hood wiring diagram. (see page 26).

Connection to the hood electrical box can be made using either flexible conduit, or a cord/plug
combination. One-inch knockouts are provided in the top and the bottom of the electrical box. A ground
wire and a separate neutral wire MUST be provided for all connections. The minimum recommended wire
size is 8ga. The circuit protection device should be sized at 40 amperes. The hood/table system should
be restrained to avoid any stress on the conduit or cord connecting the appliance when the system is
moved for cleaning. Insure that cords or conduit are properly secured as to avoid any physical damage
from covers, edges, etc. when the unit is moved.

1. Connect incoming power as follows:

• For single-phase operation, connect incoming power to terminals L1 and L2 of the contactor.

Connect neutral and ground as shown in Figure 6.

• For three-phase operation, connect incoming power to terminals L1, L2 and L3 of the

contactor. Reconnect second receptacle inside hood electrical box to T2 and T3 on 1CR.
Connect neutral and ground as shown in Figure 6.

2. Insure that the fire extinguishing control box microswitch has been properly connected. Refer to
1g on page 8.

Ventless Hood System Maintenance

Cleaning the Grease Baffle

1. Shut down the unit.

2. Locate the thumbscrews and retaining frame at the top of the grease baffle.

3. With one hand, hold the baffle to prevent it from dropping. With the other hand, loosen the
thumbscrews and slide the retaining frame forward.

4. Slowly lower the top end of the baffle until it clears the retaining frame.

5. Spray the grease baffle with degreasing type soap.

6. Rinse with hot water; dry, and replace in hood.

Replacing the Particle/Odor Filter

1. Shut down the unit.

2. Open the filter door on the front of the unit by rotating the handle counter-clockwise.

3. Slide the used filter out of the unit.

4. Remove the replacement filter from the plastic bag.

5. Observing the “UP” arrows on the filter, with a hand at each front corner, carefully slide the filter
into the unit.

When installing a new filter, slight resistance should be observed as the filter is
being slid into place. This resistance is generated by four (4) filter springs located
on the bottoms of the filter slides. These springs insure a proper seal at the top of
the filter. After a period of time it may become necessary to adjust the pressure
that these springs provide by lifting them slightly with your fingers.

6. Close and latch the door.
