•
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your
hood unless it is specifically recommended in this
guide. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
Automatic Heat Sensor
Your hood is equipped with an automatic thermostat.
This thermostat is a device that will turn on or speed
up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the
cooking surface.
If your blower is not on, or if it is running at low speed,
the thermostat will sense excessive cooking heat,
override the normal blower control and turn the blower
on to high speed. The blower will run until the
temperature drops to normal operating level. The blower
will then automatically return to its original setting.
Light Bulb Replacement
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING HOOD.
This hood uses a 24″ long F20T12 fluorescent
tube and an FS-2 starter, which are available at
most hardware stores or home centers.
To check or replace tube:
1. Pull the drawer out.
2. Rotate the filter panel clips and lower the
filter panel.
If the tube flickers or does not light, check the prongs
on the ends of the tube to make sure they are properly
seated in the tube holders.
If the tube continues to flicker or does not light,
replace the tube. Slide the tube into the holders and
rotate the tube so that the prongs in the holders grip
the tube and hold it in place.
If the ends of the tube light but the center does not,
the starter may require replacement. The starter is
located behind the filter panel on the right hand side.
Install the new starter by pushing the starter in and
turning it clockwise.
Stainless Steel (on some models)
Clean with warm sudsy water, a stainless steel cleaner
such as Kleen King
®
, or an all-purpose liquid or spray
cleaner. Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
Rinse thoroughly with a sponge or cloth and clean
water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
Do not use a soap-filled steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
Filter
Slide the glass visor open.
Open the filter panel
by turning the two clips and
allowing it to swing free.
Flex the filter in the middle
to remove it.
Wash and rinse the filter in a
mild detergent solution.
Replace the filter before using the exhaust fan.

CARE AND CLEANING

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTH, STEEL WOOL

The glass visor assembly and light lens are easily
removable for cleaning:
DO NOT clean in a dishwasher.
Remove the light lens by opening the filter panel and
turning the 2 metal clips holding the lens in place.
