Controls
Adjusting the blower (motor) speed:
Press power button once to turn on the system.
Press the speed buttons for the desired speed. Speed may be increased and
decreased.
The blower speed indicator shows the blower (motor) speed level next to
the speed button selected will increase the speed of the blower (motor) from
1 to 4 (quietest to strongest).
Adjusting the timer function:
Turn the hood on at any speed, press the power-off delay button to enter
timer mode, a 3 flashes in the display, power-off delay digital timer will
begin countdown. After approximately 3 minutes when it reaches zero, the
blower (motor) will shut down.
Adjusting the light:
Press light button once to turn on the lights, and once again to turn off the
lights.

1. Check electrical connections.
2. Check that all connections to the cicuit board are secure.
3. If problem still exists, the circuit board needs to be replaced.
What size hood should I choose for CFM purposes?
1. You must determine the output of the cooktop burners of your range; this is
measured in British Thermal Units (BTU’s).
2. You should provide 100 CFM of airflow per linear foot of range. To determine
this, divide the BTU rating of your range by 100. This will give you the rating of the
Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM’s) rating needed of your range hood. For example: If
your range is 35,000 BTUs, your range hood should have a rating of 350 CFM’s or
greater.
3. To determine the size of the range hood for satisfactory capture, it is recommended
to go at least one size larger than your range, about 3˝ to 6˝ wider. At minimum, it
should be the same size of your range. The range hood width should cover 100% of
the back burners and 50% of the front burners.
4. The height of your range hood should be between 30˝ to 36˝ above your
cooktop. Example: 60,000 BTU’s = 600CFM’s
How loud is the range hood?
A sone is measure of loudness, the higher the sone rating, the louder the sound of the
hood. The sound of one sone is comparable to that of a quiet refrigerator. Keep in
mind that other factors such as the size of the blowers can affect the loudness of the
range hood. The higher the CFM, the louder the sone rating will be.
Can my hood be ductless?
Ideally, it is better to duct your range hood to the outside, but if this is not possible,
ductless is a great alternative. Many of our range hoods do have the capability to
be converted to ductless. Ductless is when the air circulates through the carbon filter
removing odors, grease, smoke etc. The clean air is re-circulated back into your home
through carbon/charcoal filters. These filters are not reusable and will need to be
changed out once every six months, de-pending on cooking style and frequency.
