SECTION 8
Installing the Blower
1. Refer to the instructions included with the blower for installation.
SECTION 9
Installing the Optional Soffits
1. Refer to the instructions included with the specific soffit(s) you have chosen for
installation.
SECTION 10
Finishing the Installation
1. Install the proper lighting for your specific unit:
Halogen Lamps:
Use PAR16 medium base 45W maximum lamps (available separately).
Install by inserting lamp into socket and turning clockwise until lamp is firmly seated.
DO NOT over tighten.
Heat Lamps:
Use type R40, medium base IR 250W max lamps only (available
separately). Install by inserting lamp into socket and turning clockwise until lamp
is firmly seated. DO NOT over tighten.
2. If the included removable grease trough is not already installed within the hood,
insert into the rear inside channel of the hood. Make sure the taller side of the
trough is facing towards the back of the hood
(Figure 19).
3. Install the baffle filters along with any spacer bars that are required by inserting
the top of the filter into the top channel of the hood, then slide the bottom of the
filter into the bottom channel. The filters have a top and a bottom. The bottom of
the filter will have small drain holes. These holes must be facing down towards
the grease trough to be effective. In models with spacers, it is easiest to install the
spacer(s) first and the grease filters last
(Figure 20).
SECTION 11
Operation
Controls
Your Range Hood is equipped with two rotary switches with one controlling the lighting
and the other controlling the exhaust fan blower. The light switch has three positions,
High, Low, and Off. The fan switch has four positions, Off, High, Medium, and Low
(Figure 21).
NOTE:
On installation where a One (1) speed blower is utilized, all blower control speeds
operate at the same speed. On installation where a Two (2) speed blower is utilized, the
Medium and High speeds operate at the same speed.
Heat Lamp Controls:
For models equipped with heat lamps, two On/Off rocker switch
are located on the front underside of the hood for independent control of the heat lamps
(Figure 21).
SECTION 12
