the Auto mode function will automatically be re-enabled
and its backlight will turn ON.
Auto Mode Characteristics:
• The Auto Mode sensor measures the temperature
related to cooking activity on the range or cooktop.
• When removing a pan or pot from a hot stove surface,
the fan speed may increase. This is not unusual since
the sensor detects a temperature increase.
• The fan may turn OFF when cooking at a very low
temperature level, especially with induction units.
• The fan may turn OFF temporarily when adding cold or
frozen items in the pan or pot. When the items heat up
sufficiently, the fan will automatically turn back ON.
• When opening the door of a hot oven or when running
a self-cleaning oven, the fan may start automatically.
• When starting to cook, there may be a short delay of
the fan operation while the pot/pan heats up.
• After cooking is finished, it is normal for the fan to
remain ON for a short period of time until the cooking
surface/pot/pan cools down.

Filter Cleaning Reminder
When the user turns the fan OFF, and the fan key
backlight flashes slowly during 30 seconds, then this
means it is time to clean the hood and filters. Refer to
the Maintenance and Cleaning Section on page 20. This
will happen every time the user turns the fan OFF (and
the timer has not been reset).
Once the cleaning is done, at any time during the
30-second signal (and the fan is OFF), a long press on the
fan key will reset the timer and stop the key backlight flashing.
NOTES: 1. Each time a key is pressed, a beep is emitted to acknowledge the command. To disable, when the fan and
lights are OFF, press on the Lights key () for 5 seconds. To put it back, when the fan and lights are OFF,
press again on the Lights key () for 5 seconds.
2. Each time a key is pressed, its backlight turns ON. When a function is turned OFF, so does the corresponding
key backlight.

HEAT SENTRY™
Your unit is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY™ thermostat.
This thermostat is a device that will turn on or speed up the blower
if it senses excessive heat above the cooking surface.
1) If blower is OFF - it turns blower ON to HIGH speed.
2) If blower is ON at a lower speed setting - it turns blower
up to HIGH speed.
When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return
to its original setting.
NOTE: When Heat Sentry is activated, the fan key backlight
flashes slowly and the fan speed cannot be changed.
WARNING
The HEAT SENTRY thermostat can start the blower
even if the hood is turned OFF. When this occurs, it is
impossible to turn the blower OFF with its switch. If
you must stop the blower, set the main power switch
(located behind the filters, on inner side of the unit
faceplate) in OFF position (if it is possible to do so
safely). See inset in FIG. 32.

FIG. 32
CODE READY™ TECHNOLOGY ACTIVATION
The Code Ready Technology option allows to change the blower output from the 600 CFM factory setting to a
maximum of 400 CFM or 300 CFM. Activating the CRT option will reduce the airflow, so that the powerpack insert
will perform within the allowable limit of Make-Up Air (MUA) codes (to meet some building code requirements). Do not
change the blower CFM setting unless this change is required by code. This change will alter the performance of the
product.
IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. This change CANNOT be reverted.
2. CRT can only be set within the first 5 minutes of applying power to the unit.
3. A power outage will not deactivate the CRT.
4. Fan and lights must be OFF.
CRT PROCEDURE
1. Switch power ON using the main power switch (located behind the filters) and press simultaneously on Fan (A) and
Lights (B) keys for 5 seconds; Fan (A) and Lights (B) key backlights will now flash to indicate you entered the CRT
menu.
400 CFM MAXIMUM AIRFLOW
2. To select the 400 CFM maximum airflow, press on the Fan (A) key for 5 seconds, then release; the Fan key backlight
will now flash to indicate 400 CFM has been selected (the Light (B) key backlight will be shut).
3. A second 5-second press on the Fan (A) key and release confirms the selection; the Fan key backlight quickly flashes
twice and the buzzer sounds a double beep. The user interface returns to normal operation.
4. Locate the CRT sticker near the HVI Certification label inside the powerpack insert, behind the filter.
Check the proper box (400 CFM).
300 CFM MAXIMUM AIRFLOW
2. To select the 300 CFM maximum airflow, press on the Lights (B) key for 5 seconds, then release; the Lights key
backlight will now flash to indicate 300 CFM has been selected (the Fan (A) key backlight will be shut).
3. A second 5-second press on the Lights (B) key and release confirms the selection; the Lights key backlight quickly
flashes twice and the buzzer sounds a double beep. The user interface returns to normal operation.
4. Locate the CRT sticker near the HVI Certification label inside the powerpack insert, behind the filter.

MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY OPERATIONS ON THE
APPLIANCE.
Hybrid Baffle Filters
The hybrid baffle filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a
warm dishwashing detergent solution. The hybrid baffle filters
are dishwasher safe.
Clean the 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 filters performance. This discoloration
is not covered by the warranty. To minimize or prevent
discoloration, hand wash filters using a mild detergent.
Non-Ducted Recirculation Filters
The Non-Ducted Recirculation filters should be changed
every 3 to 6 months. Replace more often if your cooking style
generates extra grease, such as frying and wok cooking.
STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING
Do:
• Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag soaked
with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish
detergent.
• Always clean in the direction of original polish
lines.
• Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times)
after cleaning. Wipe dry completely.
• You may also use a specialized household
stainless steel cleaner.
Don’t:
• Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any
other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
• Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
• Allow dirt to accumulate.
• Let plaster dust or any other construction
residues reach the unit. During construction/
renovation, cover the unit to make sure no dust
sticks to the stainless steel surface.
Avoid when choosing a detergent:
• Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack
stainless steel.
• Any products containing: chloride, fluoride,
iodide, bromide will deteriorate surfaces
rapidly.
• Any combustible products used for cleaning
such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol,
etc., are highly explosive and should never be
used close to a range.
