OPERATION
Always turn the hood ON before cooking in order to establish an
air flow in the kitchen. After turning off the range, let the hood run
for a few minutes to clear the air.
Operate the hood as follows:
LIGHT (3 push-button switches)
Turns light on to LOW setting.
Turns light on to MEDIUM setting.
Turns light on to HIGH setting.
Pressing the same light button again will turn lights OFF.
A light above each button indicates light setting.
FAN (3 push-button switches)
Turns fan on to LOW speed.
Turns fan on to MEDIUM speed.
Turns fan on to HIGH speed.
Pressing the same fan button again will turn fan OFF.
A light above each button indicates fan speed.
NOTE
This hood utilizes an offset blower design to achieve greater
performance and lower sound levels. As a result, you may notice
that cooking impurities are more attracted to one side or appear
to be pulled-in faster than they appear on the opposite side. This
is completely normal. The hood has been designed and tested
to provide good capture of cooking impurities and odors under
all normal cooking conditions regardless of the cooking location
on the cooktop. Please note that cooking on the rear burners will
always result in the best capture of cooking impurities, regardless
of the hood design.
HEAT SENTRY SYSTEM
This range hood is equipped with an advanced Heat Sentry sys-
tem that monitors for excessive temperature and automatically
adjusts the fan to the appropriate setting.
1)
If the fan is on
, the Heat Sentry system will increase the fan
setting when the temperature is elevated. If the temperature con-
tinues to rise, the Heat Sentry system will continue to increase
the fan setting until the temperature is stabilized or reduced. The
flashing light above the fan button shows the Heat Sentry system
fan setting. Once the temperature has reduced, the Heat Sentry
system will change the fan to the original setting.
2)
If the fan is off
,
(CANADIAN VERSION DOES NOT HAVE
THIS FUNCTION)
the Heat Sentry system will automatically turn
the fan on to its highest speed when the temperature is above
normal. When the Heat Sentry system is on, the light above the
high speed fan button will flash on and off. After the temperature
has lowered to normal, the fan speed will be reduced until the
temperature has stabilized, then the fan will turn off.
FUSE
The
Range Hood Control Board
contains a
Fuse
to protect the
controls from power surges. If the fuse has opened (blown), the
green fan setting or light setting indicators will not operate properly
when the fan or light buttons are pressed, and the fan and lights
will not turn on.
A new fuse can be purchased at your local electronic supply
store. Use an 8A, 120V, 5 mm diameter, 20 mm long, fast-acting,
cartridge-type fuse.
To replace the fuse (by qualified person(s):
1. Disconnect power at service entrance.
2. Remove filters and bottom pan.
3. Remove and inspect fuse. If it is not open (blown), additional
diagnostics are needed.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper per-
formance of the unit.
Motor
The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If
the motor bearings make excessive or unusual noise, replace
the motor with the exact service motor. The impeller should also
be replaced.
Grease Filter
The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm dish-
washing detergent solution. Grease filters are dishwasher safe.
Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate
detergent. Discoloration of the filters may occur if using phosphate
detergents, or as a result of local water conditions - but this will
not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by
the warranty.
See Step 9 on page 5 for removal and installation instructions.
Non-ducted Recirculation Filter
The non-ducted recirculation filter should be changed every 6
months. Replace more often if your cooking style generates extra
grease, such as frying and wok cooking. The special “Clean Sense”
feature indicates when the filter is to be replaced. The dotted lines
on the indicator strip will change to solid wide lines when it is time
to change the filter. The “Clean Sense” feature works best when
facing toward the cooking surface. See Step 15 on page 5, for
removal and installation instructions.
