General Precautions
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.
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, observe the following:
a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have
questions, contact the manufacturer.
b) Unplug or disconnect this appliance from the power supply before servicing.
c) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s)
in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction codes and standards.
d) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through
the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow
the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such
as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
e) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and
other hidden utilities.

CAUTION
• For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive
materials and vapors.
• Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the cooktop or vent,
as they could climb on the appliance to reach items and be injured.
CAUTION
• 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.
• 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.
• Take care when using cleaning agents or detergents.
• Avoid using food products that produce flames under the Range Hood.
• For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive
materials and vapors.
• To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall
spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.
• 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
continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
Safety

CAUTION
• For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be a minimum
of 24” and a maximum of 30” above the cooking surface. See “Install Mounting
Bracket” section for mounting restrictions.
• Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this hood.
• This product is equipped with a thermostat which may start blower automatically. To
reduce the risk of injury and to prevent power from being switched on accidentally,
switch power off at service panel and lock or tag service panel.
• Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

Getting Started
OPERATING YOUR HOOD
Controls
The hood is operated using the (5) push-buttons located at eye-level, on the front
edge of the hood.
The light switch turns the halogen lights on and off. Push the light switch once to
turn the lights ON - push a second time to turn the lights ON to a brighter level
- push a third time to turn the lights OFF.
The blower on-off / speed 1 switch turns the blower on to its
lowest running speed. To turn OFF the blower, push in and
hold this blower switch for approximately 2 seconds.
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 operating at this speed for 10 minutes.
The LED will blink 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 above the “blower
speed 1 switch” will be illuminated (RED) and blink for 30
seconds after turning off the blower. This is a reminder to
clean the grease filters. Once the grease filters are cleaned
and installed, press in and hold the “light switch” button for approximately 2
seconds during the blink of the LED.
IMPORTANT
Do not operate the vent system without the filters in place or with dirty, grease-laden filters.
