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 and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent
power from being switched on accidentally. When the ser­vice disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten
a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service
panel.

3. Installation work and electrical wiring (including switch loca­tion) must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance
with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.

4. Provide sufficient air for proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
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

9. Do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

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

11. 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
flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Pep­percorn Beef Flambé).

3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be al­lowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

4. 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 t r ay, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO
PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately,
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

ductwork.

WARNING

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

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a
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 fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

* Based on “Kitchen Firesafety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

1. F o r indoor use only.

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

3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbal­anced impeller, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc.,
off power unit.

4. Do not use over cooking equipment greater than 60,000
BTU/hr. as the blower motor will shut down intermittantly.

5. 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.

6. The top of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 24” and at a
maximum of 30” above
impurities.

7. This hood is not intended to be used as a shelf.

8. Please read specification label on product for further infor­mation and requirements.

NOTE If hood is to be installed non-ducted:
Purchase a set of (3) non-ducted filters (Model

BPPF42) from your local distributor or retailer and
attach them to the aluminum mesh filters.

OPERATION

Always turn the hood ON before cooking in order to establish an
air flow in the kitchen. After turning off the range, let the hood run
for a few minutes to clear the air.

Operate the hood as follows:

1 20

BLOWER SWITCH

This 3-position rocker switch turns blower ON and OFF and
controls blower speed.
Left rocker position (0) turns blower OFF.
Center rocker position (1) turns blower ON to low speed.
Right rocker position (2) turns blower ON to high speed.

LIGHT SWITCH

This 3-position rocker switch turns lights ON and OFF and controls
their intensity.
Left rocker position (0) turns lights OFF.
Center rocker position (1) turns lights ON to low intensity.
Right rocker position (2) turns lights ON to high intensity.

NOTE

This hood utilizes an offset blower design to achieve greater
performance and lower sound levels. As a result, you may notice
that cooking impurities are more attracted to one side or appear
to be pulled-in faster than they appear on the opposite side. This
is completely normal. The hood has been designed and tested
to provide good capture of cooking impurities and odors under
all normal cooking conditions regardless of the cooking location
on the cooktop. Please note that cooking on the rear burners will
always result in the best capture of cooking impurities, regardless
of the hood design.

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. The special “Clean Sense” feature
indicates when the filter is to be replaced. The blue and yellow
strips will blend to green when it is time to change the filter. The
“Clean Sense” feature works best when facing toward the cook­ing surface. Change the non-duct recirculating filters every 6
months. For replacement non-duct recirculating filters - purchase
S99010360 or Model BPPF42.

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, 35 W, shielded halogen bulbs - MR16 with GU10 base.
