PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATION (continued)

OPERATIONAL NOTES:

REPLACE PREFILTER and REPLACE FILTER PACK indicator lights provide a timely warning that a system shut-down is imminent.

The actual time between the indicator light coming on and the loss of cooking appliance power will depend upon the cooking conditions.

Anytime a dirty PRE-FILTER is replaced, the system airflow will increase. If the condition of the FILTER PACK is marginal, the REPLACE FILTER PACK light could then come on. If this happens, a fresh FILTER PACK must be installed within a reasonably short time.

Loss of airflow through the old filter pack will soon cause a system shut-down when the airflow falls below minimum vapor capture levels.

KEEP A SPARE FILTER PACK ON HAND.

IMPORTANT: If you decide to “get the most” out of the old filter pack, and continue to use it until a system shut-down happens, it is advisable to have a fresh filter pack readily at hand, and have someone available who is capable of replacing it. Otherwise, you may experience an extended down time, with consequent associated loss of business.

The manufacturer assumes no liability for loss of business due to a system shutdown caused by a dirty pre-filter and/or filter pack (i.e. red SERVICE REQUIRED light is on), when the user fails to have the proper replacement pre-filter and/or filter pack on hand.

The Ventless Cooking System™ hood is designed as part of a WELLS cooking appliance only. No other use of this product is authorized by

the manufacturer or its agents. Wells Mfg. assumes no liability for the use of this equipment with products by any other manufacturer’s, or for use of this equipment with any Wells Manufacturing product other than in factory certified applications.
