FOR DOMESTIC COOKING ONLY

WARNING

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

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If
you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or
telephone number listed in the warranty.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel
and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from
being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting
means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning
device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

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

4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to
prevent backdrafting. 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 of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.

6. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this range
hood with an additional speed control device.

7. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

9. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.

10. This unit must be grounded.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1. 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.

2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking
flaming foods.

3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.

4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size
of the surface element.

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

1. 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.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be burned.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - violent
steam explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already

know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

1. For indoor use only.

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

3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced
impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power
unit.

4. For best capture of cooking impurities, your range hood should
be mounted so that the top of the hood is 24-30” above the
cooking surface.

5. Please read specification label on product for further information
and requirements.

Installer: Leave this manual with
the homeowner.

NON-DUCTED FILTERS

If hood is to be installed Non-Ducted:
Purchase a set of (2) Non-Ducted Filters from your local

distributor or retailer and attach them to the aluminum mesh
filters.

NOTE: For models that are installed in the non-ducted mode,

the most effective operation is achieved at speeds 1 and

2. These speeds provide the most efficient and quiet
operation during cooking, while maximizing the benefits
of the recirculating filtration system.

OPERATION

Fan: 4 push button switches. Push any button to select one of the

four fan speeds. Press another button to change fan speed.Push
the same button to turn fan off. A light above each fan button indi­cates the fan speed.

Lights: Press “on/off ” button and lights will come on at their previ­ous light level. Press button again to turn lights off. To increase light
level, press the “+” button. To reduce light level, press the “-” button.
There are 3 light levels to select.

Delay Off: While fan is running, press the “delay” button to allow the
fan to run for 10 minutes and then turn itself off.

Filter Change Indicator: The light above “filter” will come on when
it is time to clean your grease filters or check your non-ducted filters.
After replacing the cleaned, or new filters, press the “filter” button to
turn off the indicator light.

Heat Sentry System: Your range hood is equipped with an ad­vanced Heat Sentry system.

The advanced Heat Sentry system monitors temperature and au­tomatically adjust the fan to the appropriate setting.

1) If the fan is on, the Heat Sentry system will increase the fan setting
when the temperature is elevated. If the temperature continues
to rise, the Heat Sentry system will continue to increase the fan
setting until the temperature is stabilized or reduced. The flashing
light above the fan button shows the Heat Sentry system fan set­ting. Once the temperature has reduced, the Heat Sentry system
will change the fan to the original setting.

2) If the fan is on or off, the Heat Sentry system will automatically
turn the fan on at its highest speed when the temperature is above
normal. When the Heat Sentry system is on, the light above the
fan button B (Boost) will flash on and off. After the temperature
has lowered to normal, the fan will change to the setting prior to
the Heat Sentry turning on.

Fuse: The hood control contains a fuse to protect it from power
surges. If the fuse has opened (blown), the green fan-level indicators
will operate properly when the fan buttons/switches are pressed - but
the fan and lights will not turn on.

The fuse is a 5 x 20 mm, 10 Amp, Fast-Acting, 125V (min.). Common
manufacturer and part numbers are: Littlefuse, 217010; Bussmann,
GMA10A; Wickmann, 1942100. Radio Shack, Digikey (1-800-344-

4539), and most electronic supply stores have them in stock.

To replace the fuse:

1. Disconnect power at service entrance.

2. Remove filters, bottom panel, light wire harness, and air chute.

3. Remove and inspect fuse. If it is not open (blown), additional

diagnostics need to be done.

4. Install new fuse.

5. Re-assemble air chute, light wire harness, bottom panel, and
filters.

6. Turn on power and check hood/control operation.

NOTE: This hood utilizes an offset blower design to achieve greater
performance and lower sound levels. As a result, you may notice that
cooking impurities are more attracted to one side or appear to be pulled-in
faster than they appear on the opposite side. This is completely normal.
The hood has been designed and tested to provide good capture of
cooking impurities and odors under all normal cooking conditions
regardless of the cooking location on the cooktop. Please note that
cooking on the rear burners will always result in the best capture results,
regardless of the hood design.

CLEANING

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock,
disconnect from power supply before cleaning.

Aluminum mesh filters: Clean frequently using hot water and a

mild detergent. Filters are dishwasher safe.
Charcoal filters: Clean filter surfaces frequently with a damp cloth

and a mild detergent. DO NOT immerse filters in water or put in dish­washer. The special “Clean Sense” feature indicates when the filter
is to be replaced. The dotted lines on the indicator strip will change
to solid wide lines when it is time to change the filter. The “Clean
Sense” feature works best when facing toward the cooking surface.

To clean hood: Remove filters. Use a damp cloth and a mild deter­gent to wipe all grease-laden surfaces. Do not use abrasive cloth,
steel wool pads, or scouring powder on the Teflon
cover or on any painted surface. Use care when cleaning blower
wheel - it must not become bent or misaligned. DO NOT ALLOW
WATER TO ENTER MOTOR. Make sure all surfaces are completely
dry before re-installing filters and restoring power.

Motor is permanently lubricated. Do not oil or disassemble motor.
