a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service
panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-rated construction.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
and the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
5. This product may have sharp edges. Be careful to avoid cuts
and abrasions during installation and cleaning.

7. Ducted fans must always be vented
8. Use only metal ductwork.
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. Crêpes 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 ray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO
PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately,
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
the outdoors.
to
WARNING
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — Yo u 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 intermittently.
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 (2) non-ducted filters for 30” wide
hoods (Model BPPF30) & 36” wide hoods (Model
BPPF36) or a set of (3) non-ducted filters for 42” wide
hoods (Model BPPF42) from your local distributor or
retailer and attach them to the aluminum mesh filters.
Installer: Leave this manual
with the homeowner.
Homeowner: Cleaning, Maintenance and
Operating instructions on pages 2 & 3.

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:
LIGHT (3 push-button switches)
FUSE
FUSE
QP2 SERIES

RANGE HOOD CONTROL BOARD
Turns light on to LOW setting.
Turns light on to MEDIUM setting.
Turns light on to HIGH setting.
Pressing the same light button again will turn lights OFF.
A light above each button indicates light setting.
FAN (3 push-button switches)
Turns fan on to LOW speed.
Turns fan on to MEDIUM speed.
Turns fan on to HIGH speed.
Pressing the same fan button again will turn fan OFF.
A light above each button indicates fan speed.
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.
HEAT SENTRY SYSTEM
This range hood is equipped with an advanced Heat Sentry system that monitors for excessive temperature and automatically
adjusts the fan to the appropriate setting.
1) If the fan is on, the Heat Sentry system will increase the fan
setting when the temperature is elevated. If the temperature continues to rise, the Heat Sentry system will continue to increase
the fan setting until the temperature is stabilized or reduced. The
flashing light above the fan button shows the Heat Sentry system
fan setting. Once the temperature has reduced, the Heat Sentry
system will change the fan to the original setting.
2) If the fan is off, (CANADIAN VERSION DOES NOT HAVE THIS FUNCTION) the Heat Sentry system will automatically turn
the fan on to its highest speed when the temperature is above
normal. When the Heat Sentry system is on, the light above the
high speed fan button will flash on and off. After the temperature
has lowered to normal, the fan speed will be reduced until the
temperature has stabilized, then the fan will turn off.
The Range Hood Control Board contains a Fuse to protect the
controls from power surges. If the fuse has opened (blown), the
green fan setting or light setting indicators will not operate properly
when the fan or light buttons are pressed, and the fan and lights
will not turn on.
A new fuse can be purchased at your local electronic supply
store. Use an 8A, 120V, 5 mm diameter, 20 mm long, fast-acting,
cartridge-type fuse.
To replace the fuse (by qualified person(s):
1. Disconnect power at service entrance.
2. Remove filters and bottom pan.
3. Remove and inspect fuse. If it is not open (blown), additional
diagnostics are needed.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance of the unit.
Motor
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.
Grease Filter
The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm dishwashing detergent solution. Grease filters are dishwasher 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.
See Step 9 on page 5 for removal and installation instructions.
Non-ducted Recirculation Filter
The non-ducted recirculation filter should be changed every 6
months. Replace more often if your cooking style generates extra
grease, such as frying and wok cooking. The special “Clean Sense”
feature indicates when the filter is to be replaced. The dotted lines
on the indicator strip will change to solid wide lines when it is time
to change the filter. The “Clean Sense” feature works best when
facing toward the cooking surface. See Step 15 on page 5, for
removal and
installation instructions.
Stainless Steel Cleaning
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 re-
•
move 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, fluoride, 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.

2 Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood
and the outside.
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. Larger ductwork may be
required for best performance with longer duct runs.
4 Install wall cap or roof cap. Connect metal ductwork to
cap and work back towards the hood location. Use duct
tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.
