The Important Safety Notice and warnings in this manual are not meant to cover all possible problems and situations that can occur. Use common sense and caution when installing, maintaining or operating this or any other appliance.

Always contact the PROLINE Customer Support Team (1-877-901-5530) with any problems or situations that you do not understand.

Safety Symbols and Labels

To avoid the possibility of explosion or fire, do not store or use combustible, flammable or explosive vapors and liquids (such as gasoline) inside or in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Keep items that could explode (such as aerosol cans) away from cooktop burners, ovens and range hoods. Do not store flammable or explosive materials in adjacent cabinets or surrounding areas.

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

danger

warning

♦ If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact PROLINE Customer Support. Do not

install or use a damaged hood.

♦ Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range hood unless specifically recommend-

ed in the literature accompanying it.

♦ Use the range hood only for its intended purpose as outlined in this manual. DO NOT use

this range hood to vent hazardous or explosive materials or vapors.

♦ Do not tamper with the controls.

♦ Never allow the filters to become blocked or clogged. Do not allow foreign objects, such as

cigarettes or napkins, to be sucked into the hood.

♦ If the cooktop and range hood are near a window, use an appropriate window treatment.

Avoid long drapes or other window coverings that could blow over the cooktop and hood, resulting in a fire hazard.

♦ Always run the blower(s) while the cooktop is operating.

♦ Do not leave children or pets alone or unattended in the area while the cooktop and range

hood are in use. .

♦ The minimum vertical distance between the cooking surface and the exterior part of the

hood must be no less than 28” (71 cm). The vertical distance may be longer for the range or cooktop being used.

To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:

1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact PROLINE Customer Support.

2. Before servicing or cleaning your hood, turn the power off.

General Safety Precautions:

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your range hood, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat

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

filter.

To reduce the risk of injury to person in the event of a range top grease fire:

4. 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.

5. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.

6. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish clothes or towels - a violent steam explosion may

result.

The baffle filter is equipped with a spring loaded handle. To remove from the hood, pull back toward the wall and down.

ductless filters

charcoal lter

We recommend venting your hood directly outdoors if at all possible. If you do not have the option to vent your hood outside, charcoal filters are a convenient alternative. These filters clean impurities and odors from the air as it recirculates through your home. There are two styles of charcoal filters - round and square. The type you receive with your order will depend on the model of your hood.

Round

Square

The baffle filter can also be opened for easy cleaning. To open unscrew the cylindrical handle and separate the layers to clean..

1. Remove the stainless steel or aluminum filters from the bottom of the hood.

2. Locate the existing raised support screws (A) on each side of the internal

motor(s).

3. For each motor side, position charcoal filter over its support screw and rotate to lock into place.

Please note: We recommend you replace your charcoal filters after 150 hours of cooking, or every 3-6 months, depending on how often you cook.
