FAN CONTROL
Turn to LO, MED, HI or 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 remove 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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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.

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.
WARNING:
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 int
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.
