Important Safety Instructions
General Safety Precautions
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. 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 •
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 •
accompanying it. A qualified service technician should perform all other service.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, before servicing the range hood, switch power off at the fuse or junction box •
and lock the electrical panel door to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the electrical panel
cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, before cleaning the range hood, turn off the main power switch.•
Use the range hood only for its intended purpose as outlined in this manual. 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.•
Never allow the filters to become blocked or clogged. Do not allow foreign objects, such as cigarettes or napkins, to •
be sucked into the hood.
If the cooktop and range hood are near a window, use an appropriate window treatment. Avoid long drapes or other •
window coverings that could blow over the cooktop and hood, resulting in a fire hazard.
Always run the fan(s) whenever the cooktop is operating.•
Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area where the cooktop and range hood are in use. Never allow •
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 than •
25” (635 mm) for EH and MH series models and 30” (762 mm) for EHR series models. 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.
To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:•
Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spill-overs that a.
may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, b.
Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.c.
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.d.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:•
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.
You have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.◊
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.◊

A HOOD - The hood directs heat and smoke into
the fan located inside the unit. The fan forces heat
and smoke into the duct system which vents to the
outside. The filter and the lights are located on the
bottom of the hood.

panel to control your hood’s various features.
C FILTER - Prevents grease and grime from get-
ting into the fan(s). The number of filters depends

grease-laden filters. Personal injury, fire or damage to the
range hood could result.
Main Power Switch
The main power switch must be on to operate any
of the hood features. See page 3 for location.
Operation
Turning on the Fan
The fan has four speed settings. The speed is indicated by the number of lights glowing on the fan
speed indicator
A B C D E
Touch the • FAN key B to turn on the fan.
To increase the speed, touch and release the • FAN
key until the fan is at the desired setting.
To turn off the fan, touch and release the • FAN key

AUTO-ON Safety Feature
To protect the electronic speed control from heat
damage, the fan system automatically turns on
when the temperature on the control board goes
above 140°F (60°C) and the main power switch is
on. The fan speed increases with the temperature.
To temporarily turn off the auto-on feature:
Touch and release the • FAN key until the fan turns
off.
If the temperature under the hood remains above •
140°F (60°C), the fan will turn on again to protect
the electronic speed control.
The fan will turn off automatically when the temperature drops below 130°F (54°C).
Turning on the Lights
Touch the • LIGHTS key C to turn the lights on the
high setting.
Touch the • LIGHTS key a second time to set the
lights to low.
Touch the • LIGHTS key a third time to turn the
lights off.
Clean Filter Reminder Light
After 50 hours of fan operation, the CLEAN FILTER
light E will come on to remind you to clean the
filter(s). After coming on, the clean filter timer will
reset the next time the fan is turned off.
Important Operating Tips
Always use the fan when using the cooking.•
Turn the fan 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 burn-•
ers when possible.
In the interest of safety, heat oils and fats slowly.•
Energy Saving Tips
Do not operate the fan 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 fan 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.•

Care and Maintenance
WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire, electric shock or personal
injury:
Turn off power to the hood at the circuit breaker panel •
or fuse box before cleaning.
Clean the hood only in the manner specified.•
Use only the types of cleaning solutions specified in •
this manual.
Thoroughly dry the filter(s) immediately after cleaning.•
Turn off the cooktop or range and make sure that the •
appliance and range hood are cool before cleaning.
To avoid damage to the fan, do not reinstall damaged •
filters (see page 6 for replacement part numbers).
CAUTION
Always wipe stainless steel (silver colored) surfaces •
with the grain. To prevent scratching, do not use
abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on stainless steel or
glass surfaces.
Proper cleaning is necessary to ensure safe operation and maintain hood performance and appearance. The frequency of cleaning should be adjusted
according to the type and amount of cooking. Best
results will be achieved by cleaning soiled components as soon as possible.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild solution
of detergent or dishwashing soap and warm water.
Rinse and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
You may also use Dacor Stainless Steel Cleaner. Use
it according to the directions on the package.
Cleaning the Light Lens

light fixture lens. You can also clean it with Dacor
Cook Top Cleaning Creme. Use it according to the
directions on the package.
