The Importance of Cooking Ventilation
The main purpose of cooking ventilation is to capture the
by-products of cooking. These by-products are heat, steam,
smoke, odor, hazardous gases, and grease. Without proper
cooking ventilation, these by-products can cause a great deal
of harm to the home. Vent-A-Hood® range hoods exhaust
all cooking by-products to the outside with the exception of
GREASE, which is collected by the patented Magic Lung®
blower system.
The Magic Lung Blower® - How It Works
The Magic Lung® internal blower system was originally patented
in 1937. The Magic Lung® pressurizes grease-laden air as it
passes through the blower wheel and cools the grease from a
vapor into a liquid. The centrifugal action of the Magic Lung®
traps 99% of cooking grease without the use of messy and
inefcient wire mesh or bafe lters. The constant speed
centrifugal blower is also designed to create a pressure barrier,
lowering the risk of an attic or wall re.

device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
C. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualied
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including re-related construction.
D. Sufcient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting
of gases through the ue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent back drafting. 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 for Heating, Refrigeration, and
Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code
authorities.

electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
F. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors. Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings, crawl spaces,
attics, or garages.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A 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 low or medium settings.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
ambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn

Operating Instructions
A. Models with Halogen Lights
On halogen light models, motors are switched independent from
one-another. The user should generally start with the hood on the
lowest setting, and then increase speed and/or turn on additional
motors as required.
Red Switch - This switch operates a two-speed motor. This two-speed
motor allows the user to switch the hood to “LOW” (position I) for
quieter operation during light cooking, while the “HIGH” (position II)
setting delivers the full power of the Magic Lung
two-speed motor is turned to “LOW”, the heat sensor (SensaSource®)
monitors cooking activity. If the heat reaches an unacceptable level
inside the hood, or a range re occurs, the two-speed motor will
switch from “LOW” to full power automatically. The sensor will return
the motor to the “LOW” level when the heat subsides or the hood
may be turned off manually (middle position).
