OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Controls

Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking to establish an air flow in the kitchen. Let the hood run for a few minutes to clean the air after you turn the range off. This will keep the whole kitchen cleaner.

The fan and light are each controlled by a rocker switch.

LIGHT—The light switch has two positions, “ON” and “OFF.”

BLOWER—The fan switch has three positions, “HIGH,” “LOW” and “OFF.” (“OFF” is the middle position.)

CLEANING

Clean your hood with a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTH, STEEL WOOL PADS OR SCOURING POWDERS.

The fan assembly may be vacuumed. It is permanently lubricated, and never needs oiling.

Fan Assembly

Remove the filter. Remove the two screws holding the motor bracket to the range hood and unplug the fan assembly. Be careful not to allow the fan assembly to drop when the screws are removed.

Light Bulb Replacement

The light bulb (not supplied with the hood) should be 75 watts maximum. Remove the light lens covering the bulb by pressing the two extending tabs together until they release from the retaining slots in the hood.

Filters

The hood is equipped with a ductfree filter. Remove the filter by turning the filter retainer to one side. The ductfree filter is not washable, and will last up to twelve months with normal use. Replace the filter when the colored side becomes noticeably dirty or discolored.

2

When installing the filter, make sure it slides under the retaining tabs on the back of the fan housing. MAKE SURE THAT THE COLORED SIDE OF THE FILTER IS NEXT TO THE FAN WHEN THE FILTER IS INSTALLED. Turn the filter retainer so that the arrows on the retainer point toward the front and back of the hood.
