Safety IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety Precautions Do not attempt to install or operate your unit until you have read the safety precautions in this manual. Safety items throughout this manual are labeled with a Warning or Caution based on the risk type. Definitions This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
Safety General Precautions ! 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. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’). c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
CA UTION CAUTION • Begin by ensuring proper installation and grounding of the hood by a qualified installer. Have the installer show you where the fuse or junction box is located so that you know how and where to turn off power. • Always be certain that nothing will interfere with the vent intake. • Use the vent system for its intended purpose only as outlined in this manual. • Clean the filters and all grease-laden surfaces often to prevent grease fires and maintain performance.
Getting Started OPERATING YOUR HOOD IMPOR TANT IMPORT Do not operate the vent system without the filters in place or with dirty, grease-laden filters. The hood has two knobs that control the function of the hood’s halogen lights and exhaust blower. Turning the knobs clockwise will turn on the lights and the blower. The blower has a variable speed range between settings. Operating Tips: 1 Activate the blower a few minutes before starting to cook to establish an airflow pattern in the room.
Saving Energy ENERGY SAVING TIPS 1 Do not operate the blower at a speed that is higher than necessary to remove the cooking exhaust. Running at excessive speeds removes more air from the inside of the house that must be replaced by outside air. This may be especially costly when the housing air conditioning or heating system is in operation. 2 Clean filters and grease-laden surfaces often to improve efficiency. 3 Turn off the blower as soon as all cooking smoke and odors have been eliminated.
Care and Cleaning CLEANING YOUR HOOD Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain vent performance and appearance, while also ensuring safe operation. The frequency of cleaning should be adjusted according to the type and amount of cooking. Best results will be achieved by cleaning soiled components as soon as possible. Filters must be cleaned regularly. Remove one filter at a time, grasp the filter handle and gently push back and pull the front down.
Maintenance CHANGING THE BULB The suction cup, part number 5304448673, supplied with the hood, is designed to assist in the removal and replacement of the halogen light bulbs, should they burn out. To remove a bulb, simply press the suction cup onto the face of the bulb and unscrew in a counter-clockwise direction (as you are facing the bulb).
Troubleshooting IF SERVICE IS REQUIRED First, review the recommended checks listed in the Troubleshooting Guide. Then, be certain that the appliance has been installed properly and is being operated correctly. Familiarize yourself with the warranty terms and conditions listed in the Warranty section.
