WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions,
contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch off power at service panel and lock panel to
prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting
means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to
the service panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance
with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
4. Sufficient air is needed for power combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue
(chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equip-
ment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. Do not use this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
A. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or
filter.
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface
element.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP
FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:*
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately,
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will
result.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to
operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

OPERATION
Controls
The hood is operated using the (5) push buttons located on the front edge of the
hood.
The Light Off/On switch turns the lights on to low intensity and turns them off.
The Light Dimmer switch alternates light intensity from low to high.
The Blower Off/Speed switch turns the blower off and changes blower speed to
four different speed settings: high, medium-high, medium-low and low speed.
Depress and hold the button for 2 seconds to turn the blower off.
The Blower On/Speed switch turns the blower on to four different speed settings:
Low, medium-low, medium-high and high speed.
The LED Display:
•Indicates blower speed selection from 1 (lowspeed) to 4 (high speed).
•Flashes the blower speed when the 10-minutes delay off has been
activated.
•After 30 hours of operation, the center segment of the display blinks and
remains lit, indicating that filters need to be cleaned.
The Time Delay switch activates a delay off feature. When pushed, the blower
will continue to operate at the current speed setting for 10-minutes before
automatically turning itself off.
The Filter Alarm Reset switch is used to reset the 30-hour filter timer. After filters
are cleaned or replaced, press this switch once to reset the filter clean alarm.
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.

QUI SONT EN TRAIN DE CUIRE:
A. Ne laissez jamais ni vos éléments chauffants, ni vos casseroles ou poêles sur le feu
sans les contrôler si vous réglez l’apport de chaleur sur une position élevée. Si vos
casseroles ou poêles débordent cela provoque de la vapeur et des éclaboussures de
graisse qui peuvent prendre feu. Chauffez les huiles lentement à feu bas ou moyen.
B. Faites toujours fonctionner votre hotte quand vous cuisez à des températures élevées
ou quand vous cuisinez des plats flambés. (par ex. crêpes Suzette, Cerises “Jubilé”,
Steack au poivre flambé).
C. Nettoyez régulièrement les ailes de vos ventilateurs. Ne permettez pas que la graisse
s’accumule sur le ventilateur ou sur le filtre.
D. Utilisez des casseroles de taille appropriée. Utilisez toujours des ustensiles de cuisson
dont la taille est appropriée à la surface de votre élément de cuisson.

puis demeure allumé, indiquant que les filtres doivent être nettoyés.
L’Interrupteur de minuterie actionne un dispositif de minuterie qui se trouvait
désactivé. Lorsque l’on appui sur ce bouton, le ventilateur continue à fonctionner
pendant 10 minutes au régime réglé, puis s’arrête automatiquement.
Le bouton de Réamorçage de l’alerte de filtre remet le compteur de 30 heures
à zéro pour les filtres. Après avoir nettoyé ou remplacé les filtres, appuyez une
fois sur ce bouton pour remettre l’alerte à zéro.
HEAT SENTRYMC
Votre hotte est munie d’un thermostat HEAT SENTRYMC. Ce thermostat est un
dispositif qui actionnera ou augmentera la vitesse du ventilateur s’il détecte une
chaleur excessive au-dessus de la surface de cuisson.
1) Si le ventilateur n’est pas en marche - il actionnera le ventilateur en haute
vitesse.
2) Si le ventilateur fonctionne en basse vitesse - le ventilateur tournera en haute
vitesse.
Lorsque la température revient à la normale, le ventilateur retourne à sa vitesse
d’origine.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le thermostat HEAT SENTRYMC peu actionner la hotte même si la hotte est
arrêtée. Si tel est le cas, il est impossible de l’arrêter avec l’interrupteur. Si
vous devez arrêter le ventilateur, faites-le à partir du panneau électrique
principal.
