For Best results

• Continuous use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid.

• It also reduces cooking odors and soiling moisture that create a frequent need for cleaning.

• Turn the blower on before starting to cook.

• Use a rear burner when browning or pan frying meat.

• Open a window or inside door slightly.

• Clean the filters and the wall behind the filters frequently.

• The blower should be turned on for a few minutes before cooking in order to establish air currents up-ward 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.

• Drafts across the range or cooktop will cause the escape of heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors from the hood. Such drafts should be prevented in so far as possible.

• The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where the only air currents are those created by the blower itself.

• For Gas Cooktops, a lower blower speed should be used if:

• the gas flame is being distorted by the air

movement.

• the burner continually sparks (clicks)

• the burner flame repeatedly blows out.

CARE AND CLEANING

The efficiency of the range hood system depends on the cleanliness of the intake and filters. The frequency of cleaning depends on the amount and type of cooking.

• Do not use the ventilating system without the filters in place or with grease-laden filters or surfaces.

WARNING To avoid risk of fire and explosion do not use flammable liquids or solvents. Always unplug or disconnect the appliance from the power supply before servicing. WARNING: Be sure the entire hood (including the filters and light bulbs) has cooled and grease has solidified before attempting to clean any part of the appliance.

Filters

The metal grease filters are made of anodized aluminum and are long lasting.

To Remove The Metal Grease Filters

• Turn the fan and lights off.

• Push each handle towards the back and pull downwards.

To Replace The Metal Grease Filters

• Reverse procedure.

To Clean Filters

• It is recommended that the filters be washed at

Optional Charcoal Filters

If the model is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through disposable charcoal filters that help remove smoke and odors.

The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned. They must be replaced.

The charcoal filters are clipped inside of each metal grease filter (mounting instructions included with charcoal filters kit).

The charcoal filters should be replaced when they are noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6–12 months, depending on hood usage). NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an automatic dishwasher.

NOTE: Charcoal filters are not included with the hood. They must be ordered from your supplier.

Order the needed kit specifying your hood model and width size.

• Rub stainless steel finishes in the direction of the grain. Wipe area dry to avoid water marks.

• After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions before using. The cleaners recommended below indicate a type and do not constitute an endorsement. Use all products according to package directions.
