LED LAMPS
The hood is provided with LED lamps wich require no maintenance.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance 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 detergent solution. Grease
filter are dishwasher safe.
Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration
of the filter 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 INSTALL FILTERS section 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. See
INSTALL FILTERS section for removal and installation instructions.
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.

 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 hood. During
construction/renovation, cover the range
hood 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.

OPERATION
Filter Alarm
After 30 hours of blower operation, the filter alarm is activated and Filter Alarm Indicator
LED turns red. It indicates the grease filters need to be cleaned.
After 120 hours of blower operation, the filter alarm is activated and Filter Alarm Indicator
LED turns red and flashes. It indicates the grease filters need to be cleaned and the
charcoal filters need to be replaced (for non-ducted applications).
After cleaning the grease filters (and/or replacing the charcoal filters), reset the hour counter
by pressing the Filter Alarm / Timer Rest button during display of the alarm.
Auto Shut-Off Feature
If the blower and/or the lights are on continuously for 10 hours without any user interaction
with the controls, the hood will automatically shut off. Press any control button to re-activate
the hood.
HEAT SENTRY
Your hood 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.
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, do it from the main electrical panel.
Controls (Fig.1)
The hood is operated using the (5) push buttons located on the front edge of the hood.

readily available special waste bins, especially in shops selling electronic consumer goods.
Observance of the regulations on differentiated waste collection, in particular, proper disposal of
used batteries, contributes to preventing possible negative effects on the environment and health.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
IFC6IQ Series
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, use
only metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run
between the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, shortduct runwill allow thehood
to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will
reduce the performance of the hood. Use
as few of them as possible.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect 8" round
metal ductwork to cap and work back
towards hood location. Use duct tape to
seal the joints between ductwork sections.

INSTALL SUPPORT SYSTEM
1. At hood location, install 2 x 4 or larger cross
framing between ceiling joists using
dimensions shown.
2. Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark
the location of the ceiling joists and cross
framing.
3. Adjust the overall height using the chart
below of the support frame. Loosen and re-
tighten the 4 screws in the height
adjustment slots as necessary. Insert 12
screws (3.9x6mm) (Fig.7). Make sure this a
4 min. overlap between the upper & lower
support legs.
4. Secure the support frame to joists and cross
framing with six (6) screws provided
(4,8x38mm). Make sure screws are driven
into center of joists and framing for maxi-
mum strength.
Notes:
a. - = Mounting height is not possible
b. Minimum hood distance above cook top
must not be less than 24. A maximum of
30 above cook top is highly
recommended for best capture of cooking
impurities. Distances over 36 are at the
installer and the users discretion; and if
ceiling height and flue lenght permit.
