SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION! – For general ventilation use only. DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous
or explosive materials or vapors.
CAUTION! – To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct
air to outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling, nor into
attics, crawl spaces or garages.
WARNING! – To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
Install this hood in accordance with all requirements specified.
WARNING! – To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this hood with
any external solid-state speed control device.
This Vent Hood system is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors and odors from the
cook top area.
WARNING! – All wall and floor openings where the vent hood is installed must be
sealed.
Consult the cook top or range installation instructions given by the manufacturer before
making any cutouts. MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION: the installation of this Hood
must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Title 24
CFR, Part 3280 (Formerly Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety,
Title 24, HUD, part 280). Three wire power supplies must be used and the appliance
wiring must be revised. See electrical requirements on page 1.
DO NOT use 4” laundry –type wall caps
Flexible-type ductwork is not recommended
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Be sure a fresh air
supply is available.
Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a fire.
Electrical ground is required on this hood.
If cold water pipe is interrupted by plastic, non-metallic gaskets or other
materials, DO NOT use for grounding.
DO NOT ground to gas pipe.
DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. A fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit could result in electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the Hood is
properly grounded.
Failure to follow electrical requirements may result in a fire.
Be sure all the range and/or cook top controls are turned off and the appliance is
cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The
chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or
cause metal parts to corrode.
5
Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the range or cook top frequently so
grease from cooking =vapors does not accumulate on them.
Service should only be done by authorized technicians; Technicians must
disconnect the power supply before servicing this appliance.
WARNING! – California proposition 65—the burning of gas cooking fuel generates
some by-products, which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances,
always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this booklet and
provide good ventilation to the room when cooking with gas.
PLEASE RETAIN THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.

FAN CONTROL
Turn knob clockwise to desired position and intensity of fan speed 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.
ALWAYS USE THE MAXIMUM SETTING WHEN GRILLING.
LIGHT SWITCH
The Light Switch is colored Black. Turn on or off depending on need.
HEAT LAMPS
The Heat Lamps Switch is also colored Black. Turn on or off depending on need.
HOOD OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The blower should be turned on for a few minutes before cooking in order to establish air
currents upward through hood. Thus, when heat, smoke, moisture, grease, steam and
cooking odors are produced, they will be carried outside instead of drifting to other
rooms. Use the LOW speeds for normal use and the HIGHER speeds for strong odors
and fumes. Drafts across the range or cook top will prevent the proper escape of heat,
smoke, moisture, grease, steam and cooking odors into the hood. Such drafts should be
prevented in so far as possible. The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where
the only air currents are those created by the blower itself.
BLOWER
The motor is operated by an INFINITE fan speed setting control knob. You may change
the speed of the motor depending on the amount of grease, odor and smoke you create
while cooking.
FILTERS AND DRIP TRAYS
These hoods have reusable metal grease baffles and drip trays. The metal baffles channel
grease released by foods on the cook top into the drip trays. The baffles also help prevent
flaming foods on the cook top from damaging the inside of the hood. For this reason, the
baffles must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is used. The grease baffles and drip
trays should be cleaned regularly, or as often as needed.
To clean grease baffles and drip trays, drain and wipe excess grease with a dry paper
towel. Soak them and then swish them around in hot water and mild detergent. Don’t
use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Do not use
abrasives or oven cleaners. Rinse, shake, and let them dry before replacing. THEY
MAY ALSO BE CLEANED IN THE DISHWASHER.
7
TO REMOVE:
Grasp the baffle filters from any one of their slats and pull them up, forward and out.
Grasp the drip tray and carefully lift it up out of the hood track. Remove baffles one at a
time.
To replace the drip trays:
1. Place and seat the drip tray into the hood track
2. Slide them left or right until all tray s are side-by-side in place of the track.
To replace baffles:
1. Hold the baffle at the bottom by one of the slats
2. Place the other end of the baffle against the inside front of the hood
3. Slide it up and push the bottom end back until firmly sits in place
TO CLEAN HOOD SURFACE:
For general care, wipe the outside of the stainless steel with sudsy
water or household cleaners such as Fantastic® or Formula 409®,
rinse well and dry with clean soft cloth to avoid watermarks.
Wipe and dry brushed stainless steel in the same direction of the grain
Do not use abrasive products
DO NOT clean hood surface in a swirling motion, always clean in the
direction of the grain.
To remove fingerprints and give added shine use spray cleaners such
as Stainless Steel Magic® and Simmer®.
LIGHTS:
CAUTION! – Before replacing the lamps, switch power OFF at service panel and
lock service panel disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched ON
accidentally.
Note: -- Turn OFF the lights and fan. Allow the lights to cool before handling. If new
lights do not operate, be sure lights are inserted correctly before calling for service.
REPLACE LIGHT BULBS:
Remove the damaged bulb by unscrewing it (counter clockwise) and replace with a new
50 Watt Halogen narrow flood light bulb.
INFRARED LAMP:
Replace burned out infrared lamp with new lamp by turning bulb counterclockwise.
Use only the same make, model, and type of bulb (no substitutions allowed). Heat lamp
bulb is 250 Watt Infrared Bulb.
WARNING! – To avoid any electrical shock the installation of the IR Lamp should
be done by a qualified electrician and before starting the installation of the hood.
