Approvals Information
Failure to adhere to building, fire and electrical codes during installation of this
unit could result in death, serious injury or property damage. The authority having
jurisdiction, such as the local building inspector or fire marshal, should be
consulted prior to installation to insure compliance with applicable codes.
In the event of an appliance fire, serious injury, property damage or death could
occur if the appliance is powered from a source other than the hood. The cooking
appliance used under this hood MUST receive its input power from the hood.
Electricity is automatically removed from the hood and the appliance when the
Fire Extinguishing System is activated.
In the event of an appliance fire, serious injury, property damage or death could
occur if the remote pull station is not properly installed. The remote pull is to be
clearly marked, located in a path of exit or egress and must comply with
applicable codes.

Ventless Hood System Operation
13
Operation
Principle of Operation
A blower inside the ventless hood draws cooking vapors through a grease baffle. Inside the baffle, the air
reverses direction two times capturing particles of moisture, grease, and dirt. Material collecting on the
baffle drains into the condensation trough located below the baffle. After air passes through the baffle, it
then enters a specially designed, high efficiency particle/odor filter where any particles that may have
passed through the baffle are trapped. A charcoal filter contained in this particle/odor filter helps to
remove cooking odors from the air. The filtered air then passes through the blower and is returned to the
room.
Preparation
The following conditions must be met for the Filter Hood to function:
The particle/odor filter must be installed.
The grease baffle must be installed.
The filter door must be shut.
The fire extinguisher system must be active.
Power must be supplied to the hood.
The fire damper must be open with link installed (see page 8).
Start-Up
To start the Filter Hood, press and hold the “START” button for three seconds. This is to insure that the
unit has achieved sufficient vacuum for the sensor to determine that the hood is in operation.
Shut-Down
Power to the appliance is turned off, when the hood is turned off.
For proper operation, always turn off appliance and allow time for it to cool before
turning off the filter hood. This will insure proper capture of grease vapors.
Ventless Hood System Operation
14
To stop the Filter Hood, press the “STOP” button.
When to Replace the Filter
The particle/odor filter should be replaced when the CHANGE FILTER light illuminates. In low to medium
volume applications, the filter may need replacement prior to the CHANGE FILTER light illuminating. If
you smell a strong odor coming from the face of the filter and the CHANGE FILTER light is not
illuminated, the filter needs to be replaced. If necessary, refer to the procedure in this manual for
replacing the filter (see page 16).
Cleaning
Refer to scheduled maintenance in this manual (see page 15).

Maintenance
Electrocution could occur if this unit is hosed down with water. This unit is NOT
designed for hose wash-down cleaning! Refer to scheduled maintenance below
for proper hood cleaning.
Electrocution could occur if power is not removed from this unit before servicing.
Remove power at disconnect or circuit breaker BEFORE servicing hood.
Scheduled Maintenance
Use the following table to help manage scheduled maintenance activities.

necessary.
User Grease Baffle Clean grease baffle. If necessary, refer
to the procedure in this manual for
cleaning the baffle.
Weekly User Particle/Odor Filter Inspect particle/odor filter. In low to

Ventless Hood System Maintenance
16
Cleaning the Grease Baffle
1. Shut down the unit.
2. Locate the thumbscrews and retaining frame at the top of the grease baffle.
3. With one hand, hold the baffle to prevent it from dropping. With the other hand, loosen the
thumbscrews and slide the retaining frame forward.
4. Slowly lower the top end of the baffle until it clears the retaining frame.
5. Spray the grease baffle with degreasing type soap.
6. Rinse with hot water; dry, and replace in hood.
Replacing the Particle/Odor Filter
1. Shut down the unit.
2. Open the filter door on the front of the unit by rotating the handle counter-clockwise.
3. Slide the used filter out of the unit.
4. Remove the replacement filter from the plastic bag.
5. Observing the “UP” arrows on the filter, with a hand at each front corner, carefully slide the filter
into the unit.
When installing a new filter, slight resistance should be observed as the filter is
being slid into place. This resistance is generated by four (4) filter springs located
on the bottoms of the filter slides. These springs insure a proper seal at the top of
the filter. After a period of time it may become necessary to adjust the pressure
that these springs provide by lifting them slightly with your fingers.
6. Close and latch the door.
