FAN Control

Turn the FAN speed control to LO, MED LO, MED HI or HI, 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.

NOTE: When the fan is operating on the LO setting, it will be very quiet. Always make sure that the fan is

turned OFFwhen you are finished in the kitchen.

LIGHT Control

Turn the LIGHT control to HI for bright light while cooking. Turn to NITE for use as a night light.

Care and cleaning of the vent hood,

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.

Reusable Metal Grease Filters

The hood has 2 metal reusable grease filters.

The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. They also

help prevent flaming foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of

the hood. For this reason, the filters must

ALWAVSbe in place when the hood is used. The grease filters should be

cleaned once a month, or as needed. To clean the grease filters, 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. Light brushing can be used to remove

embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and let them dry before replacing.

To remove: Grasp the filter handle and pull it up,

forward and out.

To replace:

m Hold the filter at the bottom with

the handle.

[] Placethe top end of the filter

against the inside front of the hood.

r_ Slideit up until it stops and push

the bottom end back until it snaps

into place.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the

surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for

cleaning the stainless steel surface.

To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to

find the location of a dealer nearest

you, please call our toll-free number: National Parts Center

DUCT FITTINGS

Usethis chart to compute maximum

permissible lengths for duct runs to outdoors.

Note: Do not exceed maximum

permissible equivalent lengths!

Maximum duct length: 100 foot for vent hoods.

Flexible ducting: If flexible metal ducting is used, all

the equivalent feet values in the table should be doubled. The flexible metal

duct should be straight and smoot and extended as much as possible.

Do NOTuse flexible plastic ducting.

Note: Any homeventilationsystem, such asa ventilation hood,mayinterrupt the proper flow of combustion air and exhaustrequired by fireplaces, gasfurnaces,gas water heatersand other naturally vented systems.To minimizethe chanceof interruption of such naturallyvented systems,follow the heating equipment manufaturer's guidelinesand safety standards such as those publishedby NFPAand ASHRAE.

Installation Instructions

DETERMINE HOOD, DUCTWORK AND WIRING LOCATIONS

Keepthe wood support pieceand its screws for later installaton. Do not discard.

, Measuredesired distance from the bottom of the hood

to the cooking surface, 24" min.to 56" max. Referto the

previous page ifthe accessory duct cover will be used.

, Usea levelto draw a horizontal line indicating the bottom

ofthe hood. Usea levelto draw the cooktop centerline location.

. Measure 15-3/8" up from the horizontal Ilinefor the

bottom of the hood. Draw another horizontal line. Measure 18"upfrom the line for the bottom of the hood,

draw another horizontal line to indicate the top of the hood.

FOR VERTICAL (Straight Up) DUCTING:

If venting out the ceiling, extend the centerline forward on

the ceiling.

- Measure 6-7/8" from drywall to mark centerline for a 7-1/2" dia. duct hole on the ceiling.

- If drywall is not present, add drywall thickness to the 6-7/8" dimension.

Venting through a soffit or upper cabinet:

. Followthe same procedure for ceilingducting to cut the

7-1/2" dia. hole through the top of the cabinet orsoffit.

. SeeStep 4, page 15for details to cut opening for duct

- Cut a hole approximately r' dia.,5-7/8" forward on the ceiling;11-!/8" to the right of the centerline for 30"

models or 14-1/8" to the right of the centerline for 36" models.

To route house wiring through the wall:
