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 flambeing food

(i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

c) Clean ventilating fan frequently. Grease should not be allowed to

accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts.

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

the surface element.

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-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 own 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

• For indoor use only.

• For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials
and vapors.

• To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced fan blade, keep drywall
spray, construction dust, etc. off range hood.

• Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the motor if it
becomes overheated. The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to
shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.

• For best capture of cooking fumes, the bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 18”
and at a maximum of 30” above the cooking surface.

• Always follow the cooking equipment manufacturer’s requirements regarding the ventilation
needs.

• To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside — Do not
exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics, crawl space or garage.

• When installing, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses
and gloves.

• 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. This will help

keep the whole kitchen cleaner and fresher.
This hood is equipped with infrared sensing controls. To activate it, simply touch the sensor

corresponding to the desired function and/or intensity. At the touch of the sensor, a beep is
emitted to acknowledge the command.

BQLA1 AND NQLA1 SERIES

MASTER ON/OFF

Touch this sensor to turn ON the lights and blower at the last saved blower and/or lighting level.
When the blower and/or lights are ON, touching this sensor will store the last-used blower speed
and light intensity and turn the unit off.

BLOWER

ACTIVATION/SPEED CHANGE

When blower is OFF, touch the sensor corresponding to the desired blower speed. The sensor will
illuminate and the blower will activate.

When the blower is ON, touch the sensor corresponding to the active blower speed to turn the
blower OFF and memorize the blower speed.

NOTE: When LOW speed is activated from OFF, the blower starts on MEDIUM speed for a very
short moment, and then resumes to LOW speed.

DELAY OFF

To activate the Delay OFF function, while the blower is ON, touch and hold for 3 seconds the
illuminated sensor corresponding to the active blower speed. A beep will be emitted at the first
touch, and again at the end of the 3-second hold. The blower will continue to operate for 10minutes
at this setting. During this time, the sensor corresponding to the active blower speed will blink to
indicate that the Delay OFF function was activated.

When the Delay OFF function is activated, the blower speed can be changed by touching the
sensor corresponding to the desired blower speed without affecting the remaining time of the delay.

To cancel the Delay OFF function before the end of the 10-minute cycle, touch and hold for
3seconds the sensor corresponding to the active blower speed, or simply touch the Master ON/OFF
sensor.

HEAT SENTRY™

This hood is equipped with a protective device that changes the blower speed when an abnormally
high heat level is detected while the blower is activated. When the Heat Sentry is activated, it sets
the blower on MEDIUM speed while all the blower sensors blink. The lighting can still be controlled,
but the blower will remain on MEDIUM speed until the heat level is normal. The blower will then
return to the speed previously selected.

NOTE: When excessive heat is detected, Heat Sentry will shut off both the blower and lights
while all the blower sensors will blink faster. Both the blowers and lights will remain OFF
until the temperature cools down; the blower will then start on MEDIUM speed and the
lights can be controlled again. The blower will remain on MEDIUM speed until the heat
level is normal. The blower will then return to the speed previously selected.

LIGHTING/LIGHT INTENSITY CHANGE

To turn the lighting ON, touch the sensor corresponding to the desired lighting intensity and the
sensor will illuminate.

When the lighting is ON, touch the sensor corresponding to the active light intensity to turn the
lighting OFF and memorize the intensity.

The LED modules included with this hood are the latest in LED cooktop illumination technology
specially designed to operate in the elevated temperatures of cooking - offering bright lighting and
lasting up to 25 times as long as a standard bulb and greater reliability than typical replacement
LED bulbs.

FILTER CLEANING REMINDER

When it is time to clean the filters, the Filter Cleaning Reminder sensor will blink for 30seconds
after the blower is turned off.

To reset the Filter Cleaning Reminder, touch and hold for 3seconds this sensor while it is blinking.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This control is light-sensitive; pointing directional spot lights towards it may cause it to malfunction.
In rare circumstances, the control could falsely be activated by an external light source.

OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL

For more convenience, this range hood can also be controlled using the HCR3 remote control
(purchase separately). For more details, see instructions included with the HCR3 remote control.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance of the unit.

MOTORS

The motors are permanently lubricated and never need oiling. If the motor bearings make
excessive or unusual noise, replace the motor with the exact service motor. The fan wheel should
also be replaced.

GREASE FILTERS

The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm dishwashing detergent solution.
Grease filters are diswasher safe. Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate
detergent. Discoloration of the filters 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. To minimize or prevent discoloration, hand wash filters using a mild detergent.

NON-DUCTED RECIRCULATION FILTERS

The non-ducted recirculation filters should be changed every 3 to 6 months. Replace more often
if your cooking style generates extra grease, such as frying and wok cooking. Refer to installation
instructions included with non-ducted recirculation filters.

FAN WHEELS

The center of the fan wheels should be cleaned frequently. Use a clean cloth soaked with warm
detergent solution.

STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Do:

• Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag soaked with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish
detergent.

• Always clean in the direction of original polish lines.

• Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after cleaning. Wipe dry completely.

• You may also use a specialized household stainless steel cleaner.

Don’t:

• Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.

• Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.

• Allow dirt to accumulate.

• Let plaster dust or any other construction residues reach the hood. During construction/
renovation, cover the range hood to make sure no dust sticks to the stainless steel surface.

Avoid when choosing a detergent:

• Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack stainless steel.

• Any products containing: chloride, fl uoride, iodide, bromide will deteriorate surfaces
rapidly.

• Any combustible products used for cleaning such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol, etc.,
are highly explosive and should never be used close to a range.

PAINTED FINISH CLEANING:

Clean with warm water and mild detergent only. If discoloration occurs, use a finish polish such
as automotive polish. (DO NOT use rough abrasive cleaner or porcelain cleaner.)

NOTE: Distances over 30” are at the installer and user discretion.

1 ] Determine whether hood will discharge vertically (3¼” x 10” or 7” round),

or horizontally (3¼” x 10” only).

2 ] Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outdoors.
3 ] Choose a straight, short duct run to allow the hood to perform most efficiently. Long duct

runs, elbows and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as
possible. When possible, use at least 2 foot straight runs before any turns. Larger ductwork
may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.

4 ] Install wall cap or roof cap (sold separately); ensure there is no leak in house insulation.

Connect metal ductwork to cap and work back towards the hood location. Use 2” metal foil
duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

NOTE: Before starting installation, read all the steps of these instructions.
Use the illustration below to identify your kitchen cabinet type.

FRAMED CABINET FRAMELESS CABINET

This manual covers 2 kinds of installation: the standard (without EZ1 brackets)
and the EZ1 one-person installation system (using included template and brackets).
For the standard installation, go to page 18.

EZ1 one-person installation system

EZ1 installation is designed for use with kitchen cabinets that have the same width designation as
the range hood width. If the cabinet is greater than 1/2” wider than the range hood width, please
use the standard installation method.

1 ] Use the proper template for vertical OR horizontal disharge (included) for placement of

ductwork and electrical cutout in cabinet or wall. For a non-ducted installation, DO NOT cut a
duct access hole, only cut the hole for electrical wiring. If replacing a hood and plan to use

the existing duct and electrical, steps 2 to 5 may not be necessary. If so, skip to step 6.

2 ] Measure and mark the hood center line on cabinet bottom.
3 ] Align the center line on template with the hood center line marked on the bottom of the

cabinet, placing the edge (where indicated) of the template against back wall. When using
with framed cabinet for vertical exhaust installation, fold over rear edge of template equal
to the depth of the cabinet frame at the wall (use graduations on template, C locations on
template). Tape the template in place.

NOTE: When facing the installation, A and B (on template) must be at right.

Warranty Period and Exclusions: Broan-NuTone LLC and Broan-NuTone Canada ULC (either being the “Company”)
warrants to the original consumer purchaser of its product (“you”) that the product (the “Product”) will be free from material
defects in the Product orits workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase (or such longer
period as may be required by applicable law). For Range Hood Product that includes built-in LED modules, the Company
warrants the LED modules and driver to be free from material defects for a period of three (3) years from the date of purchase.
The limited warranty period for any replacement parts provided by the Company and for any Products repaired or replaced
under this limited warranty shall be the remainder of the original warranty period (or such longer period as may be required
by applicable law).
This warranty does not cover fluorescent lamp starters, tubes, halogen and incandescent bulbs, fuses, filters, ducts, roof
caps, wall caps and other accessories for ducting that may be purchased separately and installed with the Product. This
warranty also does not cover (a) normal maintenance and service, (b) normal wear and tear, (c) any Products or parts
which have been subject to misuse, abuse, abnormal usage, negligence, accident, improper or insufficient maintenance,
storage or repair (other than repair by the Company), (d) damage caused by faulty installation, or installation or use
contrary to recommendations or instructions, (e) any Product that has been moved from its original point of installation,

in commercial or nonresidential use, or (j) damage caused by fire, flood or other act of God or (k) Products with altered,
defaced or removed serial numbers. This warranty covers only Products sold to original consumers in the United States and
Canada by the Company or its U.S. and Canadian distributors authorized by the Company.
This warranty supersedes all prior warranties and, subject to applicable law, is not transferable from the original consumer purchaser.
No Other Warranties: This Limited Warranty contains the Company’s sole obligation and your sole remedy for defective
products. The foregoing warranties are exclusive and in lieu of any other warranties and conditions, express or implied. THE

COMPANY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, AND DISCLAIMS
AND EXCLUDES ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. To the extent that applicable law

prohibits the exclusion of implied warranties or conditions, the duration of any applicable implied warranty or condition is
limited to the period specified for the express warranty above. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Any oral or written description of the Product is for the
sole purpose of identifying it and shall not be construed as an express warranty.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Limited Warranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid
under applicable law, but if any provision is held to be prohibited or invalid, such provision shall be ineffective only to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the other remaining provisions
of the Limited Warranty.
Remedy: During the applicable limited warranty period, the Company will, at its option, provide replacement parts for, or
repair or replace, without charge, any Product or part thereof, to the extent the Company finds it to be covered by and in
breach of this limited warranty under normal use and service. The Company will ship the repaired or replaced Product or
replacement parts to you at no charge. You are responsible for all costs for removal, reinstallation and shipping, insurance or
other freight charges incurred in the shipment of the Product or part to the Company. If you must send the Product or part to
the Company, as instructed by the Company, you must properly pack the Product or part—the Company is not responsible
for damage in transit. The Company reserves the right to utilize reconditioned, refurbished, repaired or remanufactured
Products or parts in the warranty repair or replacement process. Such Products and parts will be comparable in function
and performance to an original Product or part and warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period (or such
longer period as may be required by applicable law).
Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refund the money actually paid by you for the Product in lieu of repair or
replacement. If the Product or component is no longer available, replacement may be made with a similar product of equal
or greater value, at Company’s sole discretion. This is your sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this limited warranty.

Exclusion of Damages: THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS, OR REPAIR,
REPLACE OR REFUND, AT THE COMPANY’S OPTION, SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND THE COMPANY’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATION. THE COMPANY SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCT, ITS USE OR PERFORMANCE. Incidental damages include but are not limited to

such damages as loss of time and loss of use. Consequential damages include but are not limited to the cost of repairing
or replacing other property which was damaged if the Product does not work properly.

THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU, OR TO ANYONE CLAIMING UNDER YOU, FOR ANY OTHER
OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ARISING
OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT OR WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR ANY THEORY OF STRICT
LIABILITY, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT OR THE COMPANY’S ACTS OR OMISSIONS OR OTHERWISE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation
or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which
vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under this warranty will not apply
to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
This warranty covers only replacement or repair of defective Products or parts thereof at the Company’s main facility and
does not include the cost of field service travel and living expenses.
Any assistance the Company provides to or procures for you outside the terms, limitations or exclusions of this limited warranty
will not constitute a waiver of such terms, limitations or exclusions, nor will such assistance extend or revive the warranty.
The Company will not reimburse you for any expenses incurred by you in repairing or replacing any defective Product,
except for those incurred with the Company’s prior written permission.

WARRANTY
