INTENDED FOR DOMESTIC COOKING ONLY
,_, _,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
service panel to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When
the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a promi-
nent 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 con-
struction codes and standards.
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 guidelines and safety standards such
as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and
the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engi-
neers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. Do not use this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
A. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smok-
ing and greasy spitlovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium
settings.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e.
Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Ftambe).
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumu-
late on fan or filter.
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the
surface element.

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 Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA.
,_ CAUTION
1. To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do
not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl
spaces, or garages.
2. Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.
3. Avoid using food products that produce flames under the Range Hood.
4. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explo-
sive materials and vapors.
5. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep
drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.
6. 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.
7. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be a
minimum of 24" and a maximum of 30" above the cooking surface. See "Install
Mounting Bracket" section for mounting restrictions.
8. Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight d this hood.
9. This product is equipped with a thermostat which may start blower automati-
cally. To reduce the risk of injury and to prevent power from being switched on
accidentally, switch power off at service panel and lock or tag service panel.
10. Do not use the top of the hood as a shelf.
11. Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

OPERATION
Controls
The hood is operated using the slide con-
trols under the bottom d the hood.
The light switch turns the lamps on and off.
The blower switch turns the blower on to
three speed settings:
0-OFF
1 - LOW SPEED
2 - MEDIUM SPEED
3- HIGH SPEED
The pilot lamp lights up whenever the blower
is on.
HEAT SENTR_f_
Your hood is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY TM 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.
LIGHT PILOT BLOWER

HALOGEN BULBS
This range hood requires two halogen bulbs
(Type JC, 12Volt, 20 Watt Max, G-4 Base).
_, WARNING: Always switch off the electri-
cal supply before carrying out any operation
on the appliance.
To change bulbs:
1. Loosen the ring nut by turning it counter-
clockwise.
2. Remove the bulb by pulling sideward (DO
NOT ROTATE).
_b, CAUTION: Bulb may be hot.
3. Replace with Type JC, 12Volt, 20 Watt Max,
G-4 Base halogen bulb. Do not touch re-
placement bulb with bare hands!
Do not use bulbs greater than 20 Watts.
Bulbs greater than 20 Watts will cause fuse
to open.

Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will
help preserve its fine appearance,
Cleaning tips:
1. Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed,
2. Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth
to avoid water marks.
3. 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.
4. For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together
with cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of
the stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar the sur-
face.
5. DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
6. DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may
adhere to the surface causing rust,
7. 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.
