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
cooking surface.

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

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

•You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know
how to operate it.

•The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

•The fire department is being called.

•You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Before Using Your Hood

Although the hood is cleaned upon completion of the manufacturing
process, you will probably need to clean your hood again after installation.
Wipe the surface of the hood with a good household cleaner applied with a
soft cloth, or stainless steel polish, depending upon the finish of your hood.
This will leave a protective finish on the hood.

Operation of Your Hood

Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking to establish an air flow
in the kitchen. Likewise, let the blower run for a few minutes to clear the air
after you turn your cooking appliance off. This will help keep the air in the
kitchen cleaner.

Operation of Your Hood

(DCH Models only)

Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking to establish an air flow
in the kitchen. Let the blower run for a few minutes to clear the air after you
turn your cooking appliance off. This will help keep the air in the kitchen
cleaner.

Each hood has one blower motor which is operated using two (2) controls.
Use the on/off control switch to start and stop the blower. When turned on,
the blower will operate at the previous setting of the speed control. Turn the
speed control knob counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed and
clockwise to increase the speed. The type of cooking you are doing will
dictate the speed of the blower you will want to use.

Located to the left of the fan switches is the halogen light switch. This
controls the 50 watt halogen lights located in the front of the hood. The
halogen lights also have a switch which can be rotated in order to dim or
brighten the lights. Turn the dimmer control knob clockwise to brighten the
lights and counterclockwise to dim.

HHeeaatt SSeennssoorr TThheerrmmoossttaatt
Your hood is equipped with a heat sensor thermostat. The thermostat will
turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the cooking
surface. When the sensor activates, the letters “HOT” will appear on the
display. If the blower is OFF - it turns the blower ON to HIGH speed. If the
blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns the blower up to HIGH
speed. When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return
to its original setting and the display will be cleared..

Cleaning and Maintenance

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when
maintained properly and kept clean. Ventilation equipment is no exception.
Your hood must be kept clean and maintained properly.

CClleeaanniinngg tthhee MMeesshh FFiilltteerrss
As air passes through the filter, grease particles collect on the stainless steel
screen inside the filter. The filters should be examined periodically to assure
that all surfaces and parts are clean. This unit is equipped with a filter clean
alarm. Once the unit has been in operation for 48 hours, the letters “FILT”
will appear on the display. The filters can be washed in a dishwasher or in a
sink with hot, soapy water. Simple periodic cleaning will insure maximum
filter effectiveness. Do not use caustic detergent to clean the filters. A caustic
cleaner may damage the finish. Do not take the filters apart to clean them. It
is not necessary and will void the filter warranty. Once the filters have been
cleaned and placed back in the hood, the display is canceled by holding the
scroll up (+) and the scroll down (-) buttons for 5 seconds.

Replace the charcoal filters every 6 months to 1 year depending on the
amount and type of cooking.

To replace, remove the baffle/charcoal
filter assembly and slide the charcoal
filter out of the channel and replace
with new one. Do not put the
charcoal filters in the dishwasher or
oven.

Replacement filters are available
through your local Viking Range
dealer or you can call the Viking

Finishes in enamel or stainless steel are highly resistant to damage or
discoloration due to grease, steam, and heat provided that reasonable care is
given to the equipment. The following suggestions will help you keep your
hood looking new.

1. Do not allow an excessive accumulation of grease. For best results, you
should wipe your hood clean with a cloth dipped in warm, soapy water.

DO NOT use cleaners that contain chlorides, the
chlorides in the cleaner could damage the stainless steel finish. If
necessary to scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the
area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon
spatula or scraper.

a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal

tool to scrape stainless steel.

2. Every three months give your hood a thorough cleaning. On painted
surfaces, use a new coat of wax. A good wax cleaner, available at either a
grocery or hardware store will do both jobs at once. On stainless steel
surfaces, use a good stainless steel cleaner and polish.

Replacing Light Bulbs

spring out of the socket.

2. Replace the bulb with a 50 watt GU-10 light bulb. To install the new bulb,
line up the studs on the back, push in and rotating 1/4 turn clockwise until
it falls into position.

If discoloration occurs, you should thoroughly polish the finish on your hood
to renew its gloss and luster and to remove any grease residue which may
have a yellowing effect. Use any good enamel polish, refrigerator polish, or
automotive polish.
