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. Lock or tag service panel to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.

3. Installation work and electrical wiring (including switch loca-

tion) must be done by a qualied person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including re-rated

construction.

4. Provide sufcient air for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the ue (chimney) of fuel burning equip-

ment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the combustion equipment standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and local codes.

5. This product may have sharp edges. Be careful to avoid cuts and abrasions during installation and cleaning.

6. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

7. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

8. Use only metal ductwork.

9. As an alternative, this product may be installed with the ULapproved cord kit designated for the product, following instructions packed with the cord kit.

10. This unit must be grounded.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1. 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.

2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when ambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).

3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be al-

lowed to accumulate on fan or lter.

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

WARNING

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

1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-tting lid, cookie sheet,

or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO

PREVENT BURNS. If the ames do not go out immediately,

EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be burned or

spread the re.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels

- violent steam explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if: A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you

already know how to operate it.

B. The re is small and contained in the area where it started. C. The re department is being called. D. You can ght the re with your back to an exit.

* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust haz-

ardous or explosive materials and vapors.

2. For best capture of cooking impurities, range hood should be

mounted so that the bottom of the hood is 18”-24” above the cooking surface.

3. Read specication label on product for information and re-

quirements.

NOTE These instructions are for ducted installations only.

If hood is to be installed non-ducted:

Purchase a non-ducted lter kit from your local distributor or

retailer. (Available for AP1 & RP2 Series hoods only.) Follow instructions included with the non-ducted kit.

Installer: Leave this manual with the homeowner.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

For performance, appearance, and health reasons, clean lter,

fan and grease-laden surfaces. Use only a clean cloth and mild detergent solution on stainless and painted surfaces. Clean all-

metal lters in the dishwasher.

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.

Use 120 V, 50 W, shielded halogen bulbs - MR16 or PAR16 with GU10 base. Purchase bulbs separately.

The grease lters, bottom panel, and blower wheel should be

cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. The grease

lters and blower wheel are dishwasher safe.

Note: Some minerals, when in contact with dishwasher soap additives, may cause lters to discolor. This discol-

oration is not covered by the warranty.

OPERATION

Always turn the hood ON before cooking in order to establish an

air ow in the kitchen. After turning off the range, let the hood run

for a few minutes to clear the air.

AP SERIES HOOD

Operate the hood as follows:

FAN

The 2-position switch (in center) turns blower ON and OFF. The 5-position switch (at left) controls blower speed.

Blower is OFF (secondary blower OFF). Blower is ON at highest speed.

As dots get smaller - blower speed decreases.

LIGHT

This 3-position switch (at right) turns lights ON and OFF and controls their intensity.

Lights are OFF. Lights are ON to low intensity. Lights are ON to highest intensity.

HEAT SENTRY™

The hood is equipped with a Heat Sentry™ thermostat. This safety

device will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excess heat

above the cooking surface. If the blower is not on, or if it is running at low speed, the Heat

Senttry™ will override the normal blower control and trun the blower on the high speed. When the temperature level drops to normal levels, the blower will return to its original setting.

RP SERIES HOOD

Operate the hood as follows:

BLOWER SWITCH

This 3-position switch turns blower ON and OFF and controls blower speed. Set switch to (1) position to turn blower ON to low speed. Set switch to (2) position to turn blower ON to high speed. Set switch to (0) position to turn blower OFF.

LIGHT SWITCH

This 3-position switch turns lights ON and OFF and controls their intensity. Set switch to (1) position to turn lights ON to low intensity. Set switch to (2) position to turn lights ON to high intensity. Set switch to (0) position to turn lights OFF.

PREPARE HOOD LOCATION

1 Determine whether hood will discharge vertically (3¼” x

10” or 7” Round), or horizontally (3¼” x 10” only). For vertical or horizontal discharge, run ductwork between the

hood location and a roof cap or wall cap. For best results, use a minimum number of transitions and elbows.
