READ AND SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING
Clean your hood with a mild detergent suitable for
painted surfaces. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTH,
STEEL WOOL PADS OR SCOURING POWDERS.
The fan assembly may be vacuumed. It is
permanently lubricated, and never needs oiling.
Fan Assembly
Light Bulb Replacement
Remove the filter. Remove the two screws holding
the motor bracket to the range hood and unplug the
fan assembly. Be careful not to allow the fan
assembly to drop when the screws are removed.
The light bulb (not supplied with the hood) should be
75 watts maximum. Remove the light lens covering
the bulb by pressing the two extending tabs together
until they release from the retaining slots in the hood.
Filters
The hood is equipped with a ductfree filter. Remove
the filter by turning the filter retainer to one side. The
ductfree filter is not washable, and will last up to
twelve months with normal use. Replace the filter
when the colored side becomes noticeably dirty or
discolored.
When installing the filter, make sure it slides under
the retaining tabs on the back of the fan housing.
MAKE SURE THAT THE COLORED SIDE OF
THE FILTER IS NEXT TO THE FAN WHEN THE
FILTER IS INSTALLED. Turn the filter retainer so
that the arrows on the retainer point toward the front
and back of the hood.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Controls
Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking
to establish an air flow in the kitchen. Let the hood
run for a few minutes to clean the air after you turn
the range off. This will keep the whole kitchen cleaner.
The fan and light are each controlled by a rocker switch.
LIGHT—
The light switch has two positions, “ON”
and “OFF.”
BLOWER—
The fan switch has three positions, “HIGH,”
“LOW” and “OFF.” (“OFF” is the middle position.)
