3. The blower or fan seems weak:
Check that the duct sized used is at least 6”. Range hood WILL NOT function efficiently with insufficient duct size & loosely secured.
Check if duct is clogged or if damper unit (half-circular flapper) is not installed correctly or opening properly. A tight mesh on a side wall cap unit might
also cause restriction to the air flow.
4. The lights work but the blower is not spinning at all, is stuck or is rattling.
The blower might be
jammed or scraping the bottom due to shipping damage. Please contact us immediately.
5.
The hood is not venting out properly
:
Make sure the distance between the stove top and the bottom of the hood is within 26” and 30” in distance.
Reduce the number of elbows and length of ductwork. Check if all joints are properly connected, sealed, and taped.
Make sure the power is on high speed for heavy cooking.
6. The hood is noisier than normal
The damper was not opened.
The duct is not secure and causes vibration.
The smaller duct size than required is being used.
7. Control panel is not active
Check to make sure the auto function is not on.
Operations:
Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual before operating the appliance. Save these instructions for future reference.
Always leave safety grills and filters in place. Without these components, operating blowers could catch on to hair, fingers and loose clothing.
NEVER dispose cigarette ashes, ignitable substances, or any foreign objects into blowers.
NEVER leave cooking unattended. When frying, oil in the pan can easily overheat and catch fire. The risk of self combustion is higher when the oil has
been used several times.
NEVER cook on “open” flames under the range hood. Check deep-fryers during use: Superheated oil may be flammable.
Cleaning:
The saturation of greasy residue in the blower and filters may cause increased inflammability. Keep unit clean and free of grease and residue build-
up at all times to prevent possible fires.
FILTERS MUST BE CLEANED PERIODICALLY AND FREE FROM ACCUMULATION OF COOKING RESIDUE.
DO NOT operate blowers when filters are removed. Never disassemble parts to clean without proper instructions. Disassembly is recommended to
be performed by qualified personnel only. Read and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual before proceeding.
SAFETY WARNING: Never put your hand into area housing the fan while the fan is operating! For optimal operation, clean range hood and all baffle/spacer
/filter/grease tunnel/oil container regularly. Regular care will help preserve the appearance of the range hood.
Cleaning Exterior surfaces:
Clean periodically with stainless steel cleaner or hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth.
Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergent (e.g.
Comet Power Scrub
®
, EZ-Off® oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads, which will scratch and damage the stainless steel
surface.
For heavier soil use liquid degrease such as “Formula 409
®
” or “Fantastic
®
” brand cleaner.
If hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the hood. Avoid getting cleaning solution on or into
the control panel. Follow directions of the stainless steel cleaner.
CAUTION:
Do not leave on too long as this may cause damage to hood finish. Use
soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rub off any stubborn spots. Use dry soft towel to dry the hood.
After cleaning, you may use non abrasive stainless steel polish such as 3M ® or ZEP®, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always
scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain.
DO NOT
allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.
DO NOT
use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause rusting.
DO NOT
allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of
these compounds contain chemicals, which may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Cleaning Grease Filter / Stainless Steel Filter less Grill:
IMPORTANT:
Drain oil from oil containers before oil and residue overflow!
The metal filters fitted by the factory are intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking. It needs not be replaced on a regular basis but are
required to be kept clean.
Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use. Remove and clean by hand or dishwasher. Use proper degreasing detergent for stainless steel
and leave to soak if heavily soiled. Dry filters and re-install before using hood.
