WARNING	WARNING

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 flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

c)Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on blower or filter.

d)Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

Warning: In case of cooktop fire, do not operate blower.

Caution: Grease left on filters can remelt and move into the vent.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a)SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or the electric element. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

b)NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN, you may be burned.

c)DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion may result.

d)Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1)You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

2)The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

3)The fire department is being called.

4)You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Operation - Using the Controls

Before You Begin Cooking

The blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes before cooking in order to establish air currents upward through the hood. Thus when heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors are produced, they will be carried outside instead of drifting into other rooms. Use the low speeds for normal use and the higher speeds for strong odors or fumes.

A Note about Drafts:

Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be prevented when possible. The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done when the only air currents are those created by the blower itself.

The Controls - DAH93 Models			The Controls - DAH95 Models

Care, Cleaning and Maintenance

Hood Surface

Painted Surfaces:

For general care, wipe the outside of the hood with sudsy water or household cleaners such as Fantastic® or Formula 409®, rinse well and dry with a clean soft cloth to avoid water marks.

Stainless Steel Surfaces:

Wipe and dry stainless steel in the same direction as the grain. Avoid using too much pressure, which may mar the surface. To remove finger prints and give added shine, use cleaners such as Stainless Steel Magic®.

Do not allow any cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods.

Filters

The hood has removable aluminum filters that must be cleaned when they collect grease.

The filters can be cleaned with soap and water or in the dishwasher.

DAH95 models are equipped with a filter light that will illuminate after 40 hours of operation. The light indicates that the filters need to be cleaned.When used over a wok or other high grease application, more frequent cleaning may be required.

Remove the filters for cleaning: push the handle in and pull down. The front will come out first. Then pull the back down and out. See Figure 2.

To replace the filters: insert the back ends first, then while holding the handles, push in and up until the filters are secured in place.

Lights

Use a Par 20 halogen light bulb. For DAH 93 models only, an R20 incandescent bulb can also be used.

NOTE: Turn off the lights and fan and allow lights to cool before handling. If lights do not operate upon installation, check for proper insertion. Light bulbs can be cleaned with soap and water.

CAUTION

TURN POWER OFF AT BREAKER BEFORE REMOVING A DAMAGED BULB. DO NOT TOUCH THE BULBS IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. THE BULBS WILL REMAIN HOT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES.

WARNING

Be sure the entire hood (including the filters and light bulbs) has cooled and grease has solidified before attmepting to clean any part of the appliance.

Do not use cooktop while hood is disassembled, to insure adequate ventilation.

Figure 2 - Filters

Light Bulb Replacement

Remove the damaged light bulb by turning counter-clockwise. Replace with a new 50W flood light bulb. Models DAH95, DAH94 and DAH93 use a Par 20 halogen light bulb. Model DAH93 can use a R20 incandescent bulb. Follow package directions.

Buttons

Wipe with sudsy water or household cleaners such as Fantastic® or Formula 409®, rinse well and dry with a clean soft cloth to avoid water marks.
