Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your range hood, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
WARNING
If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. 1. Do not install or use a damaged hood.
Make sure that the range hood has been properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer according to the 2.
accompanying installation instructions. Have the installer show you the location of the fuse or junction box so that
you know where and how to turn the power off.
Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range hood unless specifically recommended in the literature 3.
accompanying it. A qualified service technician should perform all other service.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, before cleaning the range hood, turn off the main power switch.4.
Use the range hood only for its intended purpose as outlined in this manual. 5. DO NOT use this range hood to vent
hazardous or explosive materials or vapors. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
Do not tamper with the controls.6.
Never allow the filters to become blocked or clogged. Do not allow foreign objects, such as cigarettes or napkins, to 7.
be sucked into the hood.
Clean the filter(s) and all grease-laden surfaces often to prevent grease fires and maintain performance.8.
Clean this appliance only in the manner specified in this manual. Use only the cleaners specified.9.
If the cooktop and range hood are near a window, use an appropriate window treatment. Avoid long drapes or other 10.
window coverings that could blow over the cooktop and hood, resulting in a fire hazard.
Always run the blower(s) whenever the cooktop is operating.11.

children to sit or stand on an appliance. Do not let children play with a range, cooktop or range hood. Do not store
items of interest to children above or around the cooktop, range or range hood.
The minimum vertical distance between the cooktop surface and the exterior part of the hood must be no less 14.
than 30” (762 mm). The vertical distance may be longer for the range or cooktop being used. Consult the range or
cooktop installation instructions for the minimum vertical distance from the appliance being used.

SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL a.
TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.b.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish clothes or towels - a violent steam explosion may result.c.
Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:d.

The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.•
The fire department is being called.•
You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.•

Parts of the Range Hood
B
F D F D
A HOOD - The hood directs heat and smoke into the
blower system located inside the unit. The blower system
forces heat and smoke into the duct inside the chimney B
which vents to the outside. The filter, the lights and main
power switch are located on the bottom of the hood. The
blower system on some models, consists of more than one
blower. See the table below.
C CONTROL PANEL - Use the keys on the control panel
to control your hood’s various features.

D FILTER - Prevents grease and grime from getting into
the blower(s). The number of filters depends on the model.
See the table below.
E MAIN POWER SWITCH - Located behind the filter, on
the bottom of the hood, on the opposite side of the control
panel. Controls power to the control panel, lights and
blower(s).
F LIGHTS - 20W halogen lights. The number of lights and
location depends on the model. See the table below.

Operating Instructions
WARNING
Never operate the range hood without the filter(s) in
place. Also, do not operate the hood with grimy or
grease-laden filters. Personal injury or damage to the
range hood could result.
IMPORTANT OPERATING TIPS
Always use the blower when using the cooktop or •
range.
Turn the blower on a few minutes before starting to •
cook to establish an airflow pattern in the room.
Adjust the fan speed according to the volume and •
weight of the food you are cooking.
Shut nearby windows and doors, turn off ceiling fans •
and close nearby heating and air conditioning outlets to
reduce air currents around the hood.
Place your largest pots and pans on the back burners •
when possible.
In the interest of safety, heat oils and fats slowly.•
OPERATION
Main Power Switch
The main power switch is located behind the filter, on the
bottom of the hood, on the opposite side of the control
panel. See page 3 for the location.
Remove the filters and push in on the switch to turn •
power on or off. The control panel is lit when the main
power switch is on.
Turning on the Lights

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Do not operate the blower • system at a speed higher
than necessary to remove heat and smoke. Running
at too high a speed will draw in air from outside the
house, increasing heating and cooling costs.
Keep the• filter system and hood surfaces free of grease
and grime to improve efficiency.
Turn the blower • off as soon as all smoke and odors
have been cleared.
Select cookware of the proper size, material and •
construction for the cooking task. Always use lids on
cookware to retain heat and moisture.
Minimize the amount of liquid used to cook food.•

dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

fixture lens. You can also clean it with Dacor Cook Top

Maintenance
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
WARNING
To prevent electric shock turn off the main power •
switch.
To avoid personal injury, make sure the cooktop or •
range, the hood and the light bulb are cool before
changing the light bulb.
Light bulb replacement is considered to be a homeowner
maintenance operation. If all of the lights do not work,
before replacing any bulbs, check to make sure that the
main circuit breaker (or fuse) and the main power switch on
the hood are on.
Replace the light bulbs only with Dacor Part No. 101944,
available from any authorized Dacor parts dealer.
IMPORTANT:
Do not touch the replacement halogen light bulbs with •
your fingers. Halogen bulbs are sensitive to the oils
from your hand. The oils from your hand will stick to the
bulb and cause it to burn out faster than normal.
Do not pry out the entire light fixture • A , when replacing
the light bulb. It is difficult to reinstall. Pry out only the
the lens retaining ring B , which is the inner metal ring
attached to the light fixture.
Once the lens retaining ring and lens are removed, pull 3.
