FOR DOMESTIC COOKING ONLY

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you
have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone
number listed in the warranty.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and
lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means can­not be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a
tag, to the service panel.

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, in­cluding fire-rated construction codes and standards.

4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent
backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline
and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Pro­tection Association (NFPA), and the American Society of Heating, Re­frigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code
authorities.

5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.

6. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this range hood
with an additional speed control device.

7. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

9. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.

10. This unit must be grounded.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.

2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming
foods.

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

4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of
the surface element.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY T O PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A
RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:*

1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray,
then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the
flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be burned.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - violent steam
explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already

know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

!!

CAUTION

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials and vapors.

2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impel­lers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

3. For best capture of cooking impurities, your range hood should be
mounted so that the top of the hood is 24-30” above the cooking sur­face.

4. Please read specification label on product for further information and
requirements.

Installer: Leave this manual with
the homeowner.

Homeowner: Operating and
Cleaning information on page 6.

NOTE If hood is to be installed Non-Ducted:

• Purchase a set of (2) non-ducted filters from your
local distributor or retailer and attach them to the
aluminum mesh filters.

NON-DUCTED FILTERS

If hood is to be installed Non-Ducted:
Purchase a set of (2) Non-Ducted Filters from your local

distributor or retailer and attach them to the aluminum mesh
filters.

NOTE: For models that are installed in the non-ducted mode, the

most effective operation is achieved at speeds 1 and 2.
These speeds provide the most efficient and quiet
operation during cooking, while maximizing the benefits
of the recirculating filtration system.

OPERATION

Fan and Lights: 3 push button switches for each. Push any button

to select one of 3 fan speeds or one of 3 light levels. Push the
same button to turn fan or light off. Press another button to change
fan speed or light level. A light above each fan button indicates the
fan speed.

Heat Sentry: Your range hood is equipped with the Heat Sentry
feature, which monitors temperature. The Heat Sentry will auto­matically turn the fan on at its highest speed when the temperature
is above normal.

1) If a fan setting is selected when the Heat Sentry in on, the light
above the fan button will flash on and off.

2) If the fan setting is off when the Heat Sentry is on, the light
above fan button 3 will flash on and off rapidly.

After the temperature has lowered to normal, the fan will change to
the setting prior to the Heat Sentry turning on.

Fuse: The hood control contains a fuse to protect it from power
surges. If the fuse has opened (blown), the green fan-level indica­tors will operate properly when the fan buttons/switches are pressed

- but the fan and lights will not turn on.
The fuse is a 5 x 20 mm, 10 Amp, Fast-Acting, 125V (min.). Com-

mon manufacturer and part numbers are: Littlefuse, 217010;
Bussmann, GMA10A; Wickmann, 1942100. Radio Shack, Digikey
(1-800-344-4539), and most electronic supply stores have them in
stock.

To replace the fuse:

1. Disconnect power at service entrance.

2. Remove filters, bottom panel, light wire harness, and air chute.

3. Remove and inspect fuse. If it is
diagnostics need to be done.

4. Install new fuse.

5. Re-assemble air chute, light wire harness, bottom panel, and
filters.

6. Turn on power and check hood/control operation.

CLEANING

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, dis­connect from power supply before cleaning.

Aluminum mesh filters: Clean frequently using hot water and a

mild detergent. Filters are dishwasher safe.
Charcoal filters: Clean filter surfaces frequently with a damp cloth

and a mild detergent. DO NOT immerse filters in water or put in
dishwasher. The special “Clean Sense” feature indicates when the
filter is to be replaced. The blue and yellow strips will blend to
green when it is time to change the filter. The “Clean Sense” fea­ture works best when facing toward the cooking surface.

To clean hood: Remove filters. Use a damp cloth and a mild de­tergent to wipe all grease-laden surfaces. Do not use abrasive cloth,
steel wool pads, or scouring powder on the Teflon
cover or on any painted surface. Use care when cleaning blower
wheel - it must not become bent or misaligned. DO NOT ALLOW
WATER TO ENTER MOTOR. Make sure all surfaces are com­pletely dry before re-installing filters and restoring power.

Motor is permanently lubricated. Do not oil or disassemble motor.
