C. Do not use this unit with any solid-state

speed control device.

D. This unit must be grounded.

CAUTION–

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

CAUTION–

To reduce risk of re and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

WARNING–

To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, DO NOT use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

WARNING –

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

A. 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING –

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

A. 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.

B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at

high heat or when cooking flaming foods. ( i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Pepper corn Beef Flambé).

C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease

should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware

appropriate for the size of the surface element.

WARNING –

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

A. Installation work and electrical wiring

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

B. Sufficient air is needed for proper

combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. 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 for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

C. When cutting or drilling into wall or

ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

D. Ducted fans must always be vented to the

outdoors.

WARNING –

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.

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.

Care and Cleaning

Control Device Reset

Grease Filters:

After cleaning the grease filters, press buttons (A)-(E) for 2 seconds until you hear the beep and the LED stops flashing.

Coal Filter:

After replacing the cartridge, press both buttons (A)-(B) for 2 seconds until you hear the beep. The LED will stop flashing.

The coal filter saturation is also indicated when the hood is used in vented version.

The hood is provided with a storage device which counts the number of hours of operation and which regulates the lighting up of the coal filter saturation LEDS.

For the correct operation of this device, it is important that the hood be switched off by pressing button (A) before unplugging it for any maintenance work.

Hood Operation

Turn the fan on for approximately 5 minutes before you start cooking in order to create some upwards drafts through the hood.

This causes the heat, smoke, steam, grease and odours produced during cooking to be pushed outwards, thereby preventing them from drifting into other rooms.

Use the low speed settings for normal use and the high speed settings for strong odours or thick smoke.

The presence of drafts in the kitchen or in the hood reduces the efficiency of the hood. These drafts should be avoided wherever possible.

Consumer SupportTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety Instructions Care and Cleaning

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

To clean the filter/s

We recommend you wash the filters at least once a month, by hand or in the dishwasher. Let the water drip out of the holes on the edges and leave the filters to dry completely before reinstalling them.

To clean the hood surface

For general cleaning operations, rub the external part of the hood made of glass, using soapy water or household cleaning products, rinsing it thoroughly and drying it with a soft dry cloth to avoid marks being left by the water.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

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

Shake bottle well. Place a small amount of CERAMA BRYTE

Stainless Steel Cleaning Polish and Conditioner on a dry cloth or dry paper towel.

Clean a small area (approximately 8” x 8” or

20.3 x 20.3 cm), rubbing with the grain of the stainless steel if applicable.

Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft cloth.

Repeat as necessary.
