CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
For performance, appearance, and health reasons, clean lter,
fan and grease-laden surfaces. Use only a clean cloth and mild
detergent solution on stainless and painted surfaces. Clean all-
metal lters in the dishwasher.
The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If
the motor bearings make excessive or unusual noise, replace
the motor with the exact service motor. The impeller should also
be replaced.
Use 120 V, 50 W, shielded halogen bulbs - MR16 or PAR16 with
GU10 base. Purchase bulbs separately.
TAB
LIGHT SWITCH
This 3-position rocker switch turns lights ON and OFF and controls
their intensity.
Press left side of rocker (1) to turn lights ON to low intensity.
Press right side of rocker (2) to turn lights ON to high intensity.
Set rocker to middle position (0) to turn lights OFF.
PREPARE HOOD LOCATION
The grease lters, bottom panel, and blower wheel should be
cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. The grease
lters and blower wheel are dishwasher safe.
Note: Some minerals, when in contact with dishwasher soap
additives, may cause lters to discolor. This discoloration
is not covered by the warranty.
To remove blower wheel: Pull wheel straight down and off of
motor.
When reinstalling blower wheel, make sure TAB on wheel ts
into one hole on motor.
OPERATION
Always turn the hood ON before cooking in order to establish an
air ow in the kitchen. After turning off the range, let the hood run
for a few minutes to clear the air.
Operate the hood as follows:
BLOWER SWITCH
This 3-position rocker switch turns blower ON and OFF and
controls blower speed.
Press left side of rocker (1) to turn blower ON to low speed.
Press right side of rocker (2) to turn blower ON to high speed.
Set rocker to middle position (0) to turn blower OFF.
1 Determine whether hood will discharge vertically (3¼” x
10” or 7” Round), or horizontally (3¼” x 10” only). For ver-
tical or horizontal discharge, run ductwork between the
hood location and a roof cap or wall cap. For best results,
use a minimum number of transitons and elbows.
2 Use the proper diagram below, for placement of ductwork
and electrical cutout in cabinet or wall. For a non-ducted
installation, DO NOT cut a duct access hole.
Note the extra wood shim and mounting screw near
*
the cabinet front, 2-3/8” to the right of the cabinet
center line.
