IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR DOMESTIC COOKING ONLY
WARNING
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 manu-
facturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at
the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.
2. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power
off at the service panel. Lock and tag the service panel to
prevent power from being switched on accidentally.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring (including switch
location) must be done by a qualified person(s) in accor-
dance with all applicable codes and standards.
4. To prevent backdrafting, provide sufficient air for proper
combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (vent)
of the fuel burning equipment. Follow combustion equip-
ment standards such as those published by the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA,) the American Society
for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE,) and local codes.
5. This product may have sharp edges. Be careful to avoid
cuts and abrasions during installation and cleaning.
6. When cutting or drilling into a wall or ceiling, do not dam-
age electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
7. Fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
8. Use only metal ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
1. Never leave surface units unattended. Rapid boiling
causes smoke and grease spills that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on a low or medium setting.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
flambéing food.
3. Clean the ventilating fans frequently. Do not allow grease
to accumulate on the fan, fan blades and filter.
4. Use the proper pan size. Always use cookware appropri-
ate for the size of the surface element.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF ARANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OB-
SERVE THE FOLLOWING:*
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet,
or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO
AVOID BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately,
EVACUATE THE AREAAND CALL THE FIRE DEPART-
MENT.
2. NEVER PICK UPA FLAMING PAN. You may get burned
or spread the fire.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or tow-
els; a violent steam explosion could 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 has already been called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
*Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
CAUTION
1. To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure
to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls or ceilings, or into attics, crawl spaces, or
garages.
2. Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.
3. Avoid using food products that produce flames under the
range hood.
4. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
5. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy / unbalanced
impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc off the
power unit.
6. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated.
The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor con-
tinues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
7. To best capture cooking impurities, the bottom of the
hood should be a minimum of 26” and a maximum of 34”
above the cooking surface.
8. Two installers are recommended because of the large
size and weight of this hood.
9. Please read specification label on product for further
information and requirements.
Installer: Leave this manual with the homeowner.
Homeowner: Cleaning, maintenance, and operating instructions begin on page 3.

1) If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a
3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade electrical plug,
and 3-slot power outlet that will accept the plug on the ap-
pliance. The marked rating of the extension cord must be
equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appli-
ance. Otherwise, do not use an extension cord.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance
2. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the
provided installation instructions.
3. Clean range hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed
to accumulate on the range hood or filters.
4. Always turn the fan on when flambéing foods on the range.
5. This appliance is suitable for use in combination with both
gas and electric cooking equipment.
6. Use care when cleaning the range hood filter. Corrosive
cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may dam-
age the filter.

3
DUCTING
Determine whether the hood will discharge vertically or
horizontally. For vertical or horizontal discharge, run ductwork
between the hood location and roof cap or wall cap.
A minimum 6” round duct must be used to maintain maximum
airflow efficiency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only.
Whenever possible, reduce the number of transitions and turns
in the ducting. If a long duct length is required, increase the
duct size from 6” to 7”.
If elbows or bends are required; install them as far away from
the hood as possible.
Minimum mounting height between the range and the bottom
of the hood should be no less than 26”.
Maximum mounting height between the range and the bottom
of the hood should be no more than 34”.
WARNING!
FIRE HAZARD
1. NEVER implement ducting in a space between walls, crawl
spaces, attics or garages. All exhaust must be vented outside.
Use metal ducting only. Fasten all connections with sheet
metal screws and certified silver tape or duct tape.
2. See Fig. 1 below for placement of ducting and electrical
cutout in wall. For a non-ducted installation, DO NOT cut a duct
access hole.

OPERATION
Always turn the hood ON before cooking in order to establish
an air flow in the kitchen. After turning off the range, let the
hood run for a few minutes to clear the air.
HEAT SENTRY™
The hood is equipped with a Heat Sentry™ thermostat. This
safety device will turn on or speed up the fan if it senses
excess heat above the cooking surface. If the fan is not on, or
if it is running at low speed, the Heat Sentry™ will override the
normal fan control and run the fan on the high speed. When
the temperature level drops to normal levels, the fan will return
to its original setting.
Operate the hood as follows:
To activate the range hood, press the power button. Once
activated, the buttons and LED light up.
Power
The Silhouette Select™range hood are equipped with 3 light
settings High, Low and Off. Press the light icon once and the
20w halogen bulbs turn on providing full task lighting. Press
the icon again and this reduces the illumination to 50%. Press
the icon a third time to turn the lights off.
Light
After 100 hours, the filter icon lights up and the user must re-
move the filter, clean it and replace it in order to reset the icon.
Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to reset after
cleaning the filter.
Filter
Silhouette Select™range hoods include a convenient feature
that allows the range hood to continue to run for an additional
5 minutes to expel residual vapors and odors after cooking.
When the timer button is pressed once the current fan speed
will continue to run for a duration of 5 minutes and the timer
icon appears on the LED display. Push the timer button a
second time to cancel the timer and remove the icon from the
LED display.

CAUTION: the light bulbs and glass cover become extremely
hot when running. Shut off the lights and allow them to cool
prior to changing the bulb. Failing to do so could result in
serious burns. Turn off power to the unit before replacing bulb.
Be careful around sharp edges.
BULB REPLACEMENT
FIG. 15
1. Remove the grease filters.
2. Reach within the unit and push out the lamp housing
towards you. See Fig. 15.
3. Using a small, flat-head screw driver pop off the glass
plate. See Fig. 16 above.
4. Remove the burnt out 2-pronged 20 watt Halogen bulb.
Replace with a new 20 watt Halogen bulb. Wipe the new bulb
with a clean cloth before replacing the cover.
5. Caution: the lights are designed for 20 watt Halogen bulbs
only. Replacing with high wattage bulbs can result in
damage to the range hood or fire and not recommended
6. Replace lamp cover and press lamp housing back into
place.
FIG. 16
The mesh filters are intended to trap residue and grease
produced during cooking process. To ensure optimal perfor-
mance, appearance, and a sanitary cooking environment,
clean the filters, fan and grease laden surfaces regularly. Use
only a clean cloth and mild detergent solution on stainless
steel and painted surfaces. Do not use corrosive or abrasive
cleaning agents or steel wool or scouring pads as these will
scratch the surface. Do not use cleaning products that use
chlorine bleach or orange cleaners.
The grease filters, bottom panel surrounding the grease filters,
and the blower should be cleaned frequently. When washing
by hand use warm soapy (mild detergent) water. The grease
filter and blower wheels are dishwasher safe.
The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If
the motor bearings make unusual or excessive noise, call for
service at 1-800-263-2629.
Hood Cleaning
Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep
clean. Occasional care will help preserve its fine appearance.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning tips:
Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed.
Follow all cleaning with 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 messes, use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle
brush together with cleaning solution and water. Rub lightly
in direction of polishing lines or “grain” of the stainless finish.
Avoid using too much pressure which may alter 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.
