1IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
iv | Safety Notices

warning
♦If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer. Do not install or use a
damaged hood.
♦Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range hood unless specifically recommend-
ed in the literature accompanying it.
♦Use the range hood only for its intended purpose as outlined in this manual. DO NOT use
this range hood to vent hazardous or explosive materials or vapors.
♦Do not tamper with the controls.
♦Never allow the filters to become blocked or clogged. Do not allow foreign objects, such as
cigarettes or napkins, to be sucked into the hood.
♦If the cooktop and range hood are near a window, use an appropriate window treatment.
Avoid long drapes or other window coverings that could blow over the cooktop and hood,
resulting in a fire hazard.
♦Always run the blower(s) while the cooktop is operating.
♦Do not leave children or pets alone or unattended in the area while the cooktop and range
hood are in use.
♦The minimum vertical distance between the cooking surface and the exterior part of the
hood must be no less than 36”. The vertical distance may be longer for the range or cook-
top being used.
To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:
1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or
filter.
To reduce the risk of injury to person in the event of a range top grease fire:
4. 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, EVACU-
ATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
5. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.
6. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish clothes or towels - a violent steam explosion may
result.

♦use as few elbows in the venting as possible, with no more than three 90°
elbows.
♦make sure there is at least 24” of straight vent between any elbows
♦use silver or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system
♦use caulking to seal exterior openings around the cap
♦always use metal or aluminum ducts for maximum airflow
♦always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow

It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too
low could result in heat damage and fire hazard. Hoods mounted too high will be
hard to reach and will lose performance and efficiency.

venting options
horizontal wall venting
Option 1 Option 2
vertical roof venting
Note: This model comes with two 8” outlets. You can vent straight up with both, or
you may combine them into a 10” or 12” pipe. Do not combine into one 8” outlet.
We recommend you use hard pipe and vent straight up 12-18” with two 8” outlets
before combining into the 10” or 12” pipe. It is also recommended to have a roof
cap with a damper and screen.

preparation
Plan where the ductwork will be located. Install proper-sized duct work, and roof or wall
cap, depending on where you will be venting your hood. Recommended and most com-
mon installations are shown in the venting diagrams on the previous page. Adjust your
measurements to accomodate heights of ceilings, cabinets, or rangetops.
wall hood installation
step 1
Secure hood to wall stud using
screws. If necessary, use additional
mounting screws and wall anchors. If
your stud does not line up with the
provided screw holes, you may drill
into the stainless steel.
Note: These are suggested mounting
points only. Find the stud closest to
these mounting points, and create new
holes in the hood there.
--optional--
If not using a duct cover, using
screws, make sure top mount-
ing screws are secured into soffit
or cabinet framing use additional
mounting screws, if necessary.
Installation Tip:
Use the mounting bracket (pictured below) to help secure the hood
to the wall.

step 2
Slide filter front over front lip. Push
filter rear up, then slide back over
rear lip. Repeat this step for all
filters on the front and back of the
hood.

Care & Cleaning
warning
♦Never put your hand into the area housing the fan while the fan is operating
♦Turn off power to the hood before cleaning
♦Make sure your cooktop and hood are cool before cleaning
♦Use only the types of cleaning solutions mentioned in this manual
♦Completely dry the filter(s) immediately after cleaning
cleaning exterior surfaces
♦Regular care will help preserve the appearance of your range hood.
♦Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain to avoid scratches
♦Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth.
♦For heavier soil, use a liquid degreaser such as 409™ or Fantastic™.
♦If hood looks splotchy, use a stainless steel cleaner on the surface. Promptly
and gently remove cleaner with a soft towel or wipe.
♦After cleaning, you may use non-abrasive stainless steel polish (such as 3m™ or
ZEP™) to buff out stainless luster. Always scrub lightly and with a clean cotton
cloth.
DO NOT:
♦Use corrosive or abrasive detergent (eg, Comet Power Scrub™ or EZ-Off™
oven cleaner).
♦Use steel wool or scouring pads, which will scratch and damage the stain-
less steel surface.
♦Leak cleaning solution onto or into the control panel
♦Allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood
♦Allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to re-
main in contact with the stainless steel for extended periods.
cleaning baffle filters
All BLAZE BBQ hoods come with stainless steel baffle filters. They should be inspected
for grease accumulation periodically. The baffle filters can be washed in a dishwasher
or in a sink with hot, soapy water. Simple periodic cleaning will ensure maximum filter
effectiveness.

troubleshooting
NOTHING WORKS (Control Panel not responding, Blower not working)
Solution 1: Turn on power at circuit breaker panel or fuse box. Check for
tripped breaker or blown fuse.
Solution 2: Make sure hood power cable is plugged in and powered.
LIGHTS NOT TURNING ON
Solution 1: see “nothing works”
Solution 2: Swap out lights to determine if bulbs are defective.
RANGE HOOD VIBRATES WHEN BLOWER IS ON
Solution: Make sure the range hood has been secured properly to the ceiling
or wall.
BLOWER SYSTEM SEEMS WEAK
Solution 1: Increase the fan speed, ensure that it is at a high enough setting.
Solution 2: Make sure the ducting is sized correctly. Range hood will not
function efficiently with insufficient duct size (IE, 9” duct over 8” hole)
Solution 3: Check to see if duct is clogged or if damper unit (half-circular
flapper) is installed incorrectly. A tight mesh on a side wall cap unit might
also cause restriction to the air flow.
AIR NOT VENTING OUT PROPERLY
Solution 1: Make sure there is at least 36” between the top of the cooking
surface and the bottom of the hood
Solution 2: Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct work. Check to
ensure all joints are properly connected, sealed, and taped.
Solution 3: Make sure power is on high speed for heavy cooking.
