simultaneously, indicating that it is time to clean the grease filters. To reset
the filter clean timer, press and hold the OFF button for 3 seconds. The
blinking LED indicators will turn off.
HEAT SENTRY SYSTEM
This range hood is equipped with a standard Heat Sentry system that
monitors excessive temperature and automatically turns the fan speed
on HIGH.
1) If the fan is ON, the Heat Sentry system will increase the fan setting to
it’s highest speed when the temperature is elevated. The blue indicator
for fan speed (3) will illuminate and blink at a high rate, indicating
that the heat sentry function is activated. Once the temperature has
reduced, the Heat Sentry system will change the fan speed to the
original setting.
2) If the fan is OFF, the Heat Sentry system will automatically turn the
fan on to it’s highest speed when the temperature is above normal.
The blue indicator for fan speed (3) will illuminate and blink at a high
rate, indicating that the heat sentry function is activated. After the
temperature has lowered to normal, the fan will turn off.
FUSES
The Range Hood Control Board contains a Main Fuse to protect the
controls from power surges. New fuses can be purchased at a local
electronic supply store. Use 5A, 120V, 5 mm diameter, 20 mm long, fastacting, cartridge-type fuses.

control did not successfully link with the hood, the linking mode will be
deactivated after 12 seconds, and the LED’s will stop the sequential
blinking. Refer to the BCR1 instructions for additional information.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
For performance, appearance, and health reasons, clean filter, fan and
grease-laden surfaces. Use only a clean cloth and mild detergent solution
on stainless and painted surfaces. Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher
using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filter 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. Clean the non-duct recirculating filter surfaces frequently
with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. DO NOT immerse filters in
water or put in dishwasher. Change the non-duct recirculating filters
every 6 months. For replacement non-duct recirculating filters - purchase
S99010365 or Model FILTERE56. The motor is permanently lubricated
and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings make excessive or unusual
noise, replace the blower assembly with an exact service replacement.
