WAR NING:

To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:

A) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite. Heat oil slowly on low or medium settings.

B) Always turn hood “ON”when cooking at high heat or when flaming foods.

C) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

D) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface unit.

Make-Up air may be necessary to prevent air flowing down chimney, or through unsealed door, window,or fireplace opening.

WAR NING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, observe the following guidelines.

A) Installation and electrical wiring must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with

all applicable codes & standards, including fire-rated construction.

B) To prevent backdrafting, sufficient air is needed to maintain proper combustion and safe

exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment. Follow the cooking equipment manufacturers guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

C) Use caution when cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings as not to damage electrical wiring

SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS

USE AND CARE

FAN CONTROL

Turn to LO, MED,HIor MAX 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 MAX SETTING WHEN GRILLING.

LIGHT CONTROL

Turn to HI while cooking or to LO for use as a night light.

HOOD OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The blower should be turned on for a few minutes before cooking in order to establish air currents upward through the hood. Thus when heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors are produced, they will be carried outside instead of drifting into other rooms.

Use the low speeds for normal use and the higher speeds for strong odors or fumes.

Drafts across the range or cooktop will cause the escape of heat,smoke, moisture,grease and cooking odors from 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.

USE AND CARE

BLOWER

The motor is operated by a four-speed control switch. You may change the speed of the motor depending on the amount of grease and smoke you are creating while cooking.

ALWAYS USE THE MAX SETTING WHEN GRILLING.

FILTERS AND DRIP TRAYS

These hoods have reusable stainless steel grease baffles and drip trays. The baffles guide the grease released by foods on the cooktop into the drip trays.

IMPORTANT:

The baffles must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is used.

The baffles and drip trays should be cleaned once a month,or as needed.To clean the baffles and drip trays,drain and wipe all excess grease with a dry paper towel. 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. Rinse, shake and let them dry before replacing. They may also be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher.

To re m ove baffles and drip trays:

Hold the baffle knobs and pull them up, forward and out. Hold the drip tray and carefully lift it up and out of the hood track.

To re p lace the drip trays:

1. Place and seat the drip tray into the hood track.

2. Slide them left or right until all trays are sideby-side in place in the track.

To re p lace the baffles:

1. Hold the baffle at the bottom by one of the knobs .

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 it firmly seats into 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 water marks.

 Wipe and dry brushed stainless steel in the same direction as the grain.

 Do not use abrasive products.

and Shimmer®

LIGHTS

CAUTION:

Before replacing the light bulbs, 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 service.

REPLACE LIGHTS

 Remove the damaged light (twist counter clockwise) and replace with a new 120 Volt,50 Watt

(maximum) 50° halogen light made for a GU10 base.

WAR NING:

Halogen lamps are constructed of a glass bulb with a pressurized internal filament tube that operates at high temperatures and could unexpectedly shatter. Should the outer bulb break, particles of extremely hot glass could be discharged into the fixture enclosure and/or surrounding environment, thereby creating a risk of personal injury or fire. When replacing the bulb, let the bulb cool, and assure that power to the light has been turned off. Never allow the hot bulb to come into contact with water. DO NOT TOUCH the Light Bulb when in use. They may be hot enough to cause injury.
