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. Ifyou 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 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 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 OFA RANGETOP 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

flamb6ing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,

Peppercorn Beef Flamb_).

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 CALLTHE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

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. For 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 capture of cooking

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.

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:

o o o o o o o o o

NOTE The e_and e+e° buttons are used to adjust and toggle the menu and timer settings.

'_ LIGHT (3-Pushbutton Switches 4=light Settings)

Turns the light on the low setting and activates a green indicator above the button. Pressing the 2 button a second time activates the night time setting and illuminates the C indicator.

• • Turns the light on the medium setting and activates a green indicator above the button.

• • Turns the light on the high setting and activates a green indicator above the button.

Pressing and holding the same light button again will turn the lights off.

When the night time setting is active, pressing and holding the low light setting button o_will turn the night time setting off.

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 ofthe 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 120V,50W, shielded halogen bulbs - MR16 with GU10 base.

_::_1 FAN (3-Pushbutton Switches 4-fan speeds)

• Turns the fan on the low speed and activates a green indicator above the button.

• e Turns the fan on the medium speed and activates a green indicator above the button.

ee+®Turnsthe fan on the high speed and activates a green indicator above the button. Pressing the e+eo button a second time activates

the boost fan speed and illuminates the @,) indicator. Pressing and holding the same fan button again will turn the fan off.

When the boost speed is active, pressing and holding the high speed button will turn the boost speed off.

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 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. -
