OPERATION
Controls
The hood is operated using the (5) push-but-
tons located at eye-level, on the front edge of
thehood.Fig. 1.
The light button turns the halogen lights on
and off.
The blower on-off / speed 1 switch turns the
blower on to its lowest running speed. Press-
ing this switch a second time sets a TIMER
which keeps the blower operating at this
speed for 5 minutes. The corresponding LED
comes on during this time and the blower will shut off automatically. To turn OFF
the blower, push in and hold this blower switch for approximately 1 second.
The blower speed 2 switch turns the blower on to medium-low running speed.
Pressing this switch a second time sets a TIMER which keeps the blower operat-
ing at this speed for 5 minutes. The corresponding LED comes on during this time
and the blower will shut off automatically.
The blower speed 3 and blower speed 4 switches operate the same as blower
speed 2 switch except: Blower speed 3 is medium-high and blower speed 4 is
high.
After every 30 hours of operation, the LED of the “light button” comes on for 30
seconds after turning off the blower. This is a reminder to clean the grease filter.
Once the grease filter is cleaned and installed, press in and hold the “light button”
for approximately 1 second while the LED is on.

Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will
help preserve its fine appearance.
Cleaning tips:
●Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
●Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth
to avoid water marks.
●For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household
cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
●For stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together
with cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or "grain" of
the stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure which may mar the surface.
●DO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
●DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may
adhere to the surface causing rust.
●DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds
to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these
compounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after
exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
Glass Cleaning
Use a soft cloth and a glass cleaning solution only!
DO NOT use abrasive cloths, steel wool, or scouring pads.
DO NOT use strong cleaning solutions or abrasive powders.
