INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

(DUCTED HOODS ONLY)

NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only

metal ductwork.

1. Decide where the ductwork will run

between the hood and the outside.

2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood

to perform most efficiently.

3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions

will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.

4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round

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

WIRING

Note: This range hood must be properly grounded. The unit should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all applicable national and local electrical codes.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. WARNING - Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance. Set the electrical power supply within the space covered by the decorative flues.

Position the power socket at a maximum distance of 33-7/16” (85 cm) from where the lead exits from the hood (see illustration alongside). Make sure this does not interfere with the bracket fastening area or with the decorative flue (where the flue touches the wall).

Fit the plug into the power socket.

MAINTENANCE

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

Grease Filters

The grease filters must be cleaned approximately once every 30 hours of operation (when the central segment on the display goes on or starts blinking).

Use a warm detergent solution. Grease filters are dishwasher safe.

Remove filter by pushing filter towards the back of hood and rotating filter downward.

Non-ducted Recirculation Filter

The non-ducted recirculation filter should be changed whenever the central segment of the display starts blinking (i.e. every 120 hours of operation). To remove the filter press inward on the clamp and rotate the filter downward until the 2 tabs can be removed from the housing.

Hood Cleaning

Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help preserve its fine appearance.

Cleaning tips:

● Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.

● Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to

avoid water marks.

● For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser

or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.

● For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with

cleaser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of the stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar the surface.

● DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.

● DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere

to the surface causing rust.

● DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to

remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.

OPERATION

Controls

The hood is operated using the (4) pushbuttons located at eye-level, on the front edge of the hood.

The light switch turns the halogen lights on and off. Push the light switch once to turn the lights ON - push a second time to turn the lights ON to a brighter level - push a third time to turn the lights OFF.

The timer switch turns the blower timer on and off. Push this switch once to turn the timer ON. With the blower timer turned ON, the speed that was selected will blink in the display; if the speed selection is changed the blower timer will remain ON; the blower will shut OFF after 5 minutes.

The display indicates:

- indicates the selected motor speed (from 1 to 4);

- indicates Timer On when the number blinks;

- indicates Filter Alarm when the central segments is on or blinking.

The blower switch turns the blower on and off. Push the switch once to turn the blower ON (turns on to last speed selected). Pushing the switch sequentially selects blower speeds from 1 to 4. To turn OFF the blower, push and hold the blower switch for approximately 2 seconds.

The reset switch resets the grease filter or charcoal filter alarm. The grease filter must be cleaned when the center segment of the display lights up continuously or blinks. When the center segment blinks, the grease filter needs to be cleaned and if applicable the charcoal filter should be replaced (only applicable when hood is installed for non-ducted recirculation). The filter alarm will be seen in the DISPLAY for approximately 30 seconds after the blower is turned off. To reset the hour counter, keep the switch pressed for 2 seconds when the alarm can be seen in the DISPLAY.

HEAT SENTRY™

Your hood is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY™ thermostat. This thermostat is a device that will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the cooking surface.

1) If blower is OFF - it turns blower ON to HIGH speed.

2) If blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns blower up to HIGH speed.

When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original setting.

WARNING The HEAT SENTRY thermostat can start the blower even if the hood is turned OFF. When this occurs, it is impossible to turn the blower OFF with its switch. If you must stop the blower, do it from the main electrical panel.
