Operation
Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking to establish an air flow in the kitchen.
Let the blower run for a few minutes to clear the air after you turn off the range. This will help
keep the whole kitchen cleaner and fresher.
Operate the hood as follows:
VBLDF1 SERIES
FILTER CLEANING REMINDER
When it is time to clean the hood and filters (refer to Cleaning and Maintenance on page 6), the
3 blower button LED indicators will flash slowly for 30 seconds after turning the blower OFF. This will
happen every time the blower is turned OFF until the filter cleaning reminder has been reset. Once
the cleaning is done, reset the filter cleaning reminder indicators by pressing on blower button for
3 seconds during the 30 seconds the 3 blower button LED indicators flash slowly.
BLOWER BUTTON
When blower is OFF, press this button to turn ON the blower at the last saved speed. If there was
no speed saved, the blower will be set on LOW speed.
NOTE: When LOW speed is activated from OFF, the blower starts on MEDIUM speed for a very
short lapse of time, and then resume to LOW speed.
To change the blower speed, press on this button again until the desired speed is reached (from
LOW to MEDIUM to HIGH speed to OFF). Each time a blower speed is activated, a beep is heard
and LED indicators light up to show the corresponding speed chosen (lower LED for LOW speed,
lower and center LEDs for MEDIUM speed and all LEDs for HIGH speed).
When blower is on (no matter the speed level), press and hold this button until the beep sound
ends; this will turn off the blower and save this blower speed to memory.
LIGHT BUTTON
When lights are OFF, press once on this button to turn ON the lights at the last saved setting. If
there was no light setting saved, the lights will be set on LOW intensity. Press another time to set
the lights on HIGH intensity. Pressing another time after the HIGH setting will turn OFF the lights.
Each time the lights are turned ON, a beep is heard and LED indicators light up to show the
corresponding intensity chosen (lower LED for LOW and both LEDs for HIGH).
When lights are on (no matter the lighting level), press and hold this button until the beep sound
ends; this will turn off the lights and save the chosen light intensity.
The LED modules included with this hood are the latest in LED cooktop illumination technology
specially designed to operate in the elevated temperatures of cooking - offering bright lighting and
lasting up to 25 times as long as a standard bulb and greater reliability than typical replacement
LED bulbs.
