! 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 flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé). c) Clean ventilating fan frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts. d) Use proper pan size.
Operation 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 off the range. This will help keep the whole kitchen cleaner and fresher. Operate the hood as follows: EPLEC1 AND NPLEC1 SERIES BLOWER BUTTON When blower is OFF, press this button to turn ON the blower at the last saved speed. If there was no speed saved, the blower will be set on LOW speed.
Cleaning and Maintenance Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance of the unit. MOTORS The motors are permanently lubricated and never need oiling. If the motor bearings make excessive or unusual noise, replace the motor with the exact service motor. The fan wheel should also be replaced. GREASE FILTERS The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm dishwashing detergent solution. Grease filters are dishwasher safe.
