USING THE HOOD: Controls
1. FAN Control: Turn the FAN speed control to LO,
MED LO, MED HI or HI, as needed. Continuous
use of the fan system while cooking helps keep the
kitchen comfortable and less humid. It also reduces
cooking odors and soiling moisture that create a
frequent need for cleaning. NOTE: When the fan
is operating on the LO setting, it will be very quiet.
Always make sure that the fan is turned OFF when
you are finished in the kitchen.
2. LIGHT Control: Turn the LIGHT control to HI for
bright light while cooking. Turn to NITE for use as a
night light.

Filter
Be sure the circuit breaker is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
Reusable Metal Grease Filters
The hood has 2 metal reusable grease filters.
The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the
cooktop. They also help prevent flaming foods on the
cooktop from damaging the inside of the hood.
For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in place
when the hood is used. The grease filters should be
cleaned once a month, or as needed.
To clean the grease filters, soak them and then swish
them around in hot water and detergent. Don’t use
ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken
the metal. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Light
brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse,
shake and let them dry before replacing.
To remove:
Grasp the filter handle and pull it up, forward and out.
To replace:
1. Hold the filter at the
bottom with the handle.
2. Place the top end of the
filter against the inside
front of the hood.
3. Slide it up until it stops
and push the bottom
end back until it snaps
into place.
Surfaces
Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the
surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe

ADVANCE PLANNING
Duct Install Planning
• This hood may be vented vertically through upper
cabinets, soffit or ceiling. A duct transition piece is
supplied for vertical exhaust. Use locally supplied
elbows to vent horizontally through the rear wall.
• Use metal ductwork only.
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.
To maximize the ventilation performance of the
vent system:
1. Minimize the duct run length and number of
transitions and elbows.
2. Maintain a constant duct size.
3. Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any
leaks.
4. Do not use any type of flexible ducting.
• Use the shortest and straightest duct route
possible.
• Install a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the
exterior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and
any transition needed in advance.
• When applicable, install any makeup (replacement)
air system in accordance with local building code
requirements. Visit cafeappliances.com for
available makeup air solutions.
Wall Framing for Adequate Support
• This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structural
support must be provided. The hood must be
secured to vertical studs in the wall. See page 15.
• We strongly recommend that the vent hood with
duct cover be on site before final framing and wall
finishing. This will also help to accurately locate
the ductwork and electrical service.

Troubleshooting tips ... Before you schedule service
Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to schedule service.
Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Fan does not operate when
the switch is on
A fuse may be blown or a circuit
breaker tripped.
The blower connector is loose
or not plugged into its mating
connector.
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Disconnect power to the unit. Remove the filters and look
up at the blower. If the blower connector plug is loose or
you see the connector dangling, the installer failed to plug
it in securely. Although it is a blind connection, it is easy
to plug in. See the Installation Instructions in this manual
for the plug location and how to plug the connector in.
Fan fails to circulate air
or moves air slower than
normal
Excessively soiled filters. Remove the filters, clean if necessary and replace them.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
If cleaning and replacing the filters does not correct the
problem, schedule service.
Sufficient makeup (replacement) air is required for
exhausting appliances to operate to rating. Check with
local building codes, which may require or strongly advise
the use of makeup air. Visit cafeappliances.com for
available makeup air solutions.
