IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
WARNING
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
medium settings.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
SAFETY INFORMATION
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING
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
guidelines and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film
with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance
surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film.
Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the
first time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from
packaging tape on new appliances is an application of
a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a
soft cloth and allow to soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts.
NOTE: For further cleaning instructions/suggestions,
please refer to the Care and Cleaning section.

To pair with another device:
To start the pairing process on the hood, press and hold
the Chef Connect button for 3 seconds. The backlight
for the Low-Med-High-Light-Chef Connect buttons will
flash in that sequence until the hood is paired with the
range or other device. If the pairing is successful, all five
backlights (Low, Med, High, Light, Chef Connect) will
flash simultaneously three times and then turn off and
the Chef Connect indicator light will turn on.
It will time out after 2 minutes if the pairing is not
completed, after which the pairing sequence will need to
be restarted.
To cancel pairing:
To cancel the pairing, hold the Chef Connect button
down for 3 seconds and then turn off the hood.
Default Sync Settings:
The factory default setting for the light will be the
brightest.
The factory default setting for the fan sync will be OFF.
The user can change the Default Sync Settings by
pressing and holding the Low button for 3 seconds. This
will enter the Default Settings Mode. Once in this mode,
the backlights for all buttons (Low, Med, High, Light,
Chef Connect) will blink On/Off indefinitely and the fan
and light will switch to the current Default Sync Setting,
so the user knows what the current default value is.
At this time, set the light and fan to the desired default
levels. Once the user is satisfied with the selection, press
and hold the Off button for 3 seconds. This will exit this
mode. At that time the backlights will stop blinking and
the state of the fan and light will change back to their
prior state before entering the Default Settings Mode.

To maximize the ventilation performance of the
vent system:
1. Minimize the duct run length and number of
transitions and elbows.
2. Maintain a constant duct size.
3. Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible
vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that
greatly reduces performance.
