EXTERIOR OR IN-LINE BLOWER SELECTION
CAUTION: Either an exterior blower or in-line blower may be used with this hood.
The PKEX22 hood must be installed with blower models EB6, EB9, EB12, EB15,
ILB3, ILB6, ILB9, or ILB11 only. Other Blowers cannot be substituted (Blowers sold
separately).
TheblowermustbeUL listedforCanadianandU.S.use,andevaluatedforusewith
solid state speed control, rated 120V, 60 Hz, 6.0 A max.
INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
1. Choose the location where the Exterior or In-Line Blower will be mounted. See
illustrations below for mounting location suggestions and restrictions.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood 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. Larger ducting may be required for best
performance with long duct runs.
4. After the Exterior or In-Line Blower has been installed, connect round metal
ductwork and work back towards the hood location. Use duct tape to seal joints
between ductwork sections.
5. An 8” round to 10” round transition (Model 414) is required. For best air
performance, install the transition as close to the range hood as possible.

HoodCleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will
help preserve its fine appearance. Cleaning tips:
OHot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
OFollow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to
avoid water marks.
OFordiscolorationsordepositsthatpersist,useanon-scratchinghouseholdcleanser
or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth.
OFor stubborn cases, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with
cleaser 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.
ODO NOT allow deposits to remain for long periods of time.
ODO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere
to the surface causing rust.
ODO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to
remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these com-
pounds contain chemicals which may be harmful. Rinse with water after expo-
sure and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.

OPERATION
Controls
The light switch turns the halogen lights on
and off.
Theblower on / off switch turns theblower on
to the running speed set by the blower speed
control. The blower must be turned on and off
using this switch.
The blower speed control changes the run-
ning speed of the blower. It is infinitely
adjustable from low to high speed.
The pilot lamp lights up whenever the blower
is on.
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.
