TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS FAN WITH ANY SOLID-STATE CONTROL DEVICE.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer, if you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
b. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock panel to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service
panel.
CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors. Take care when using cleaning
agents or detergents. Suitable for use in household cooking area.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF 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 flaming food
c. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
Important Safety Notice
d. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
e. Keep fan,filters and grease laden surfaces clean.
f. Use high setting on hood only when necessary.
g. Don’t leave hood unattended when cooking.
h. Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type of and amount of food being prepared.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a. 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.
b. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
c. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
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 FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
Including fire-rated construction.
b. Sufficient air is needed for power combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (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.
c. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
d. Ducted fans must always vent to the outdoors.
e. If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application and be connected to a GFI
(Ground Fault Interrupter protected branch circuit).
g. NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
h. Make sure the power is off before installing, wiring or maintenancing.

Ductless recirculation is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be installed.
When converted, the hood functions as a recirculating hood rather than an exhaust hood. Fumes and exhaust
from cooking are drawn and filtered by a set of optional charcoal filters. The air is then purified and recirculated back within the home.
We recommend to ALWAYS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing new duct
work, if possible. The hood is most effective and efficient as an exhaust hood. Only when the exhaust option
is not possible should you recourse to converting the hood into a recirculating hood.
When converted to be a recirculating hood, a set of charcoal filters are required on top of its standard Metal
Filter set. Order according to its part number below. The standard metal filters are intended to capture
residue from cooking and the optional charcoal filters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking for recirculation.

2. Secure air diverter plate to wall below duct cover bracket. (FIG. B)
Run 6” ducting from top of hood and secure to air diverter plate. See
manual included with recirculating kit for more detailed instructions.
3. Remove metal mesh filters from hood. Secure the charcoal filter
bracket onto the inside of the hood behind mesh filters with (4) M3.5 x 8
screws. Clip charcoal filters onto each charcoal filter bracket. (FIG. C)
4. Re-Install metal mesh filters.
5. Charcoal filters must be replaced after every 120 hours of use (or approximately every 3 to 4 months
based on the average of 1 - 2 hrs. of daily cooking time).

SURFACE MAINTENANCE:
Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergent ,
or steel wool/scouring pads which will scratch and damage surface.
For heavier soil use liquid degreaser.
After cleaning it is recommended that you use non-abrasive stainless steel polish/cleaners, to polish and
buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain.
Do not use any product containing chlorine bleach. Do not use “orange” cleaners.
Metal Mesh Filters
The metal mesh filters installed by the factory are intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking.
They need not be replaced on a regular basis but are required to be kept clean.
Remove and clean by hand or in dishwasher on low heat. Spray degreasing detergent and leave to soak if
heavily soiled.
Dry filters and re-install before using hood.
Removing Metal Mesh Filters
1. Push in on spring loaded handle
2. Pull down on filter hande to remove filter

REPLACING LIGHT BULBS
CAUTION: Light bulb becomes extremely hot when turned on.
DO NOT touch bulb until switched off and cooled. Touching hot bulbs could cause serious burns.
Make sure all power is turned off and bulbs are not hot.
Remove by turning bulb counter clockwise. Note: Bulb does not unscrew; it turns 60 degrees,
stops and falls out.
If bulbs are dif cult to turn due to prolonged use, firmly attach a glass suction cup approximately the diameter of
the bulb or use a rubber/latex glove and turn counter clockwise.
Replacement bulbs are available at specialty lighting stores. Purchase type GU-10 50W halogen.
