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 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.

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

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

10. As an alternative, this product may be installed with the UL-approved 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 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.

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. Yo u 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 70,000 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 30” and at a maximum of 36” above cooktop for best 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.

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:

indicator.

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.

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

FAN (3-Pushbutton Switches 4-fan speeds)

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.

Pressing the feature menu. Pressing the menu is active will scroll through the various features that can be adjusted/set. When the feature menu is active, if a button is not pressed within 10 seconds or after scrolling through all menu settings, the feature menu will automatically be exited, and all selected settings will be saved. A green indicator above the icon will illuminate when the feature menu is active. The following features can be adjusted sequentially:

button again when the feature

AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR (default from factory - Level 1 ON)

There are two level settings for the ambient light sensor. When either of the two settings is active, the light sensor will detect a low level of light in your kitchen, and will automatically turn the task lights on the hood to the night time setting. The other light settings are still functional. If selected when the ambient light sensor is active, they will temporarily overide the ambient light sensor until they are turned off. The level 1(Aon1) ambient light sensor setting will require your kitchen to be more dark than the level 2 (Aon2) setting before activating the night time setting. The LED screen will display the ambient light sensor function -A-. Use the button to select the light sensor setting Aon1, Aon2, or AoFF. The Off (AoFF) setting deactivates the automatic ambient light sensor feature so the night time light operation is manual.

Note that the feature menu can be exited any time by not pressing any button(s) for 10 seconds or by scrolling through the entire feature menu.

HEAT SENTRY SYSTEM

This range hood is equipped with an advanced Heat Sentry system that monitors 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, 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.

Note: Canadian version does not have this function.

If a 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.

New fuses can be purchased at your local electronic supply store. Use 8A, 120V, 5 mm diameter, 20 mm long, fast-acting, cartridgetype fuses.

To replace a fuse (by qualified person(s):

1. Disconnect power at service entrance.

2. Remove filters and bottom pan.
