WARNING
• To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e.
Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the
surface element.
• To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a range top grease fire,
observe the following:
a) 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, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam
explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1)You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how
to operate it.
2)The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3)The fire department is being called.
4)You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

• Begin by ensuring proper installation and grounding of the hood by a qualified
installer. Have the installer show you where the fuse or junction box is located so
that you know how and where to turn off power.
• Always be certain that nothing will interfere with the vent intake.
• Use the vent system for its intended purpose only as outlined in this manual.
• Clean the filters and all grease-laden surfaces often to prevent grease fires and
maintain performance.
• If the cooktop and 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 whenever a cooktop is operating.
• Never operate the hood without the filters in place.
• Do not operate the blower if a flame or flare-up develops. In the event of a flame,
immediately turn off the blower. Smother the flame or use an appropriate class dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Never leave the appliance unattended when using high heat settings. Boil-overs
and greasy spills may smoke and/or ignite.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area where the cooktop and vent
are in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on an appliance. Do not let children
play with a cooktop or vent.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the vent system unless specifically
recommended in literature accompanying this appliance. All service should be
referred to a qualified technician.
• Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result. Also, avoid
using wet potholders, sponges or clothes, as steam burn may occur.

Do not operate the vent system without the filters in place or with dirty, grease-laden

Getting Started
OPERATING YOUR HOOD
The hood has two knobs that control the function of the hood’s halogen lights and
exhaust blower.
Turning the knobs clockwise will turn on the lights and the blower. The blower has a
variable speed range between settings.
Operating Tips:
1Activate the blower a few minutes before starting to cook to establish an
airflow pattern in the room.
2Adjust the fan speed according to the volume and weight of the cooking
exhaust.
3Always activate the blower whenever using the cooking appliance.
4Eliminate air currents in the hood vicinity by shutting nearby windows and
doors, turning off ceiling fans and closing adjacent heating and air
conditioning outlets.
5Place your largest pans, skillets and stock pots on the rear burners whenever
possible.

Saving Energy
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1Do not operate the blower at a speed that is higher than necessary to remove
the cooking exhaust. Running at excessive speeds removes more air from
the inside of the house that must be replaced by outside air. This may be
especially costly when the housing air conditioning or heating system is in
operation.
2Clean filters and grease-laden surfaces often to improve efficiency.
3Turn off the blower as soon as all cooking smoke and odors have been
eliminated.
4Always use lids on cookware to retain heat and moisture.
5Minimize the amount of liquid used to cook food.
6Select cookware of the proper size, material and construction for the cooking
task being performed.

10 Care and Cleaning
CLEANING YOUR HOOD
Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain vent performance and appearance, while
also ensuring safe operation. The frequency of cleaning should be adjusted
according to the type and amount of cooking. Best results will be achieved by
cleaning soiled components as soon as possible.
Filters must be cleaned regularly. Remove one filter at a time, grasp the filter
handle and gently push back and pull the front down.
The filters may be cleaned by hand washing in hot water with a mild detergent
solution or by placing them in an automatic dishwasher. Dry the filters completely
before using them again.
Stainless steel should be cleaned with a solution of mild detergent and warm water.
Rinse and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for application of polish.
Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain. Never wipe across the grain.
After cleaning, reinstall the filters carefully.

If commercially available stainless steel cleaners are used, it is important to
read the labels for chlorine compounds. Chlorine is a corrosive substance.
If these compounds are present, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft lint-
free cloth.
