FOR GENERAL VENTILATING USE ONLY.
TO AVOID A FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD DO NOT USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS OR
VAPOR.
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 other metal tray, then turn off
the gas burner or the electric element. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the
flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE
AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN, you may
be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish
cloths or towels - a violent steam explosion
may result.

1) You know you have a class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to
operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area
where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back to an
exit.
WARNING
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 on high
heat or when flambéing foods.
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan
or filter.

The blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes before cooking in order to establish air currents upward through the hood. Thus when heat,
smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors are
produced, they will be carried outside instead of
drifting into other rooms. Use the low speeds for
normal use and the higher speeds for strong odors
or fumes.
Hood Control Panel
Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the
effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be
prevented when possible.
The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done
where the only air currents are those created by the
blower itself.

HOOD CONTROL BUTTONS
Off
Pressing button once turns ventilator off and resets
control.
Fan Speed
Pressing button once, from an off state, turns the
ventilator on low. Each successive press of the
button increases the fan speed until high then the
fan cycles back to the low speed.
• The LEDs above this button indicate the
current fan speed. When the fan is on, the
corresponding LED is illuminated.
1 – Low
2 – Medium
3 – High
Delay Shut Off
• Press to turn fan on high for 10 minutes.
If the ventilator is off when the delay button is
pressed, the ventilator will turn on to the high
speed setting for 10 minutes. At the end of the
cycle the ventilator will turn off.
If the ventilator is on when the delay button is
pressed, the ventilator runs for 10 minutes at
the current speed then turns off.
• During a timed period, the LED above the
Delay Shut Off button is illuminated.
• To interrupt a timed period, press Fan Speed or
Off button.
Clean Filter Reminder
After 40 hours of operation, the clean filter reminder LED above this button will illuminate indicating that the filters need to be cleaned. When this
indicator illuminates, clean the filters as instructed
on page 6. After cleaning, press this button for 3
seconds to reset the 40-hour period and turn the
LED off.
Light On/Dim/Off
This button controls the halogen lighting. The first
press turns the lights on. A second press dims the
lights. A third press turns the lights off.
Heat Lamp
The buttons marked “L” and “R” independently
control the left and right infrared heating lamps,
turning the lights on or off.
Heat Sensor
Note: The heat sensor features listed below are not
available when the hood is installed with the remote
control accessory.
Your hood is equipped with a heat sensor that will
turn the blower to Low speed if excessive heat
occurs above the cooking surfaces.
1. If the blower is off – it turns the blower on to low
speed.
2. If the blower is already on any speed selection,
no speed change will occur.
When the temperature level on the hood drops to
normal, the blower will return to its original setting.
Over Temperature Condition - The high temperature sensor protects the hood from high temperatures which may damage components. The control
is set to activate at 161° F (72° C) and reset at
140°F (60° C). When activated, the ventilator will
turn on low and the corresponding LED will blink,
indicating an over temperature condition.
While the high temperature sensor is activated, the
blower speed can be changed or turned off. If the
blower is turned off, the corresponding LED will
blink. Light controls will remain operational. When
the control sensor reaches 140°F (60° C), a reset
will occur. During reset, the control will revert back
to the operational state prior to the high temperature
condition.
High Temperature Fault Condition - The circuit is
equipped with an alarm indicating that the heat
sensor protection is not working, due to a damaged
sensor. In the case of this extreme condition, the
three speed indicator LEDs will start blinking. All
the controls will be operational except for the speed
indicators.

To Clean Hood Surface
• For general care, wipe the outside of the stain-
less steel with sudsy water or household
cleaners such as Fantastic

water marks.
• Wipe and dry stainless steel in the same
direction as the grain. Avoid using too much
pressure, which may mar the surface.
• Do not use abrasive products such as steel
wool.
• To remove finger prints and give added shine,
use spray cleaners such as Stainless Steel
Magic® and Shimmer®.
• Do not allow any cleaning compounds to remain
in contact with stainless steel for extended
periods.
The use of brand names is intended only to indicate
a type of cleaner. This does not constitute an
endorsement. The omission of any brand name
cleaner does not imply its adequacy or inadequacy.
Many products are regional in distribution and can
be found in the local markets. It is imperative that all
products be used in strict accordance with instructions on the package.

Note: Do not use cooktop while hood is disas-
sembled. Grease troughs must be in place before
installing the aluminum filters.
To Clean Filters and Troughs
Your hood has removable aluminum filters, grease
troughs and side panels. They must be cleaned
when the filter light illuminates on the control panel
or whenever they collect grease. When used over a
grill, wok or other high grease applications, more
frequent cleaning may be required.
To Remove Filters and Grease
Troughs:
• Turn the fan and lights off. Be sure filters are
cool and grease has congealed before removal.
• Remove in the following order:
1. Filters -Start with center filters, push
up, then pull out from the bottom.
2. Side Panels - Remove these the same
way as the filters.
3. Grease Troughs - lift up and out.
• The filters and grease troughs can be washed
by hand or in the dishwasher. The side panels
may be washed with warm soapy water and
polished with stainless steel cleaner.
Reverse the above directions to reinsert the trough,
filters and side panels.

MAINTENANCE
Lights
NOTE: Turn off the lights and fan. Allow the lights
to cool before handling. If new lights do not operate, be sure lights are inserted correctly before
calling service.
Halogen Light Replacement
• Using a flat edge from a screwdriver or equivalent
tool, pry loose the lens cover as shown in Figure
5.
• Remove the damaged light and replace with a
new 12 Volt, 20 Watt (maximum) halogen light
made for a G-4 base. Follow package directions and do not touch new light with bare
hands.

Heat Lamp Replacement
• Turn heat lamp counterclockwise to remove.
• Replace lamp with either a PAR-38 175W heat
lamp or a PAR-40 250W heat lamp.
The PAR-38 175W heat lamp provides a tighter
seal within the enclosure and produces the same
amount of effective heat with lower energy consumption. These lamps may not be readily available
at local retail outlets. The PAR-40 250W heat lamp
is more widely available. It can be used instead.
PAR-38 175W heat lamps can be purchased
through the following retailers:
• OpTech Inc: 800-848-6624
• bulbs.com: 888-455-2800 or www.bulbs.com
CAUTION
Do not touch the bulbs immediately after use.
The bulbs will remain hot for several minutes. Do
not place highly flammable material on warming
shelves.
