FAN Control
Turn the FAN speed control to LO, MED LO,
MED HI or HI, as needed.
Continuous use of the fan system while cooking helps
keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid, It also
reduces cooking odors and soiling moisture that
create a frequent need for cleaning.
NOTE: When the fan is operating on the LOsetting,
it will be very quiet. Always make sure that the fan is
turned OFFwhen you are finished in the kitchen.
LIGHT Control
Turn the LIGHT control to HI for bright light while
cooking. Turn to NITE for use as a night light.

Care and cleaning of the vent hood,
Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
Reusable Metal Grease Filters
The hood has 2 metal reusable grease
filters.
The metal filters trap grease released
by foods on the cooktop. They also
help prevent flaming foods on the
cooktop from damaging the inside of
the hood.
For this reason, the filters must
ALWAVSbe in place when the hood
is used. The grease filters should be
cleaned once a month, or as needed.
To clean the grease filters, soak
them and then swish them around
in hot water and detergent. Don't
use ammonia or ammonia products
because they will darken the metal.
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.
Light brushing can be used to remove
embedded dirt. Rinse,shake and let
them dry before replacing.
To remove:
Grasp the filter handle and pull it up,
forward and out.
To replace:
m Hold the filter at the bottom with
the handle.
[] Placethe top end of the filter
against the inside front of the
hood.
r_ Slide it up until it stops and push
the bottom end back until it snaps
into place.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will
scratch the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface,
use warm sudsy water or a stainless
steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the
surface in the direction of the grain.
Follow the cleaner instructions for
cleaning the stainless steel surface.
To inquire about purchasing stainless
steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to
find the location of a dealer nearest
you, please call our toll-free number:

DUCT FITTINGS
Usethis chart to compute maximum
permissible lengths for duct runs to
outdoors.
Note: Do not exceed maximum
permissible equivalent lengths!
Maximum duct length:
100 foot for vent hoods.
Flexible ducting:
If flexible metal ducting isused, all
the equivalent feet values in the table
should be doubled. The flexible metal
duct should be straight and smoot
and extended as much as possible.
Do NOTuse flexible plastic ducting.
Note: Any homeventilationsystem,
such asa ventilation hood,may interrupt
the proper flow of combustion air
and exhaustrequired byfireplaces,
gasfurnaces,gaswater heatersand
other naturally vented systems.To
minimizethe chanceof interruption of
such naturallyvented systems,follow
the heatingequipment manufaturer's
guidelinesand safety standardssuch as
those publishedby NFPAand ASHRAE.

DETERMINE HOOD, DUCTWORK AND WIRING LOCATIONS
Keepthe wood support pieceand its screws for later
installaton. Do not discard.
, Measuredesired distance from the bottom of the hood
to the cooking surface, 24" min.to 56"max. Referto the
previous page ifthe accessory duct cover will be used.
, Usea levelto draw a horizontal line indicating the bottom
ofthe hood.
Usea levelto draw the cooktop centerline location.
. Measure 15-3/8" up from the horizontal Ilinefor the
bottom of the hood. Draw another horizontal line.
Measure 18"up from the line for the bottom of the hood,
draw another horizontal line to indicate the top of the
hood.
FOR VERTICAL (Straight Up) DUCTING:
If venting out the ceiling, extend the centerline forward on
the ceiling.
- Measure 6-7/8" from drywall to mark centerline for a
7-1/2" dia. duct hole on the ceiling.
- If drywall is not present, add drywall thickness to the
6-7/8" dimension.
Venting through a soffit or upper cabinet:
. Followthe same procedure for ceilingducting to cut the
7-1/2" dia.holethrough the top of the cabinet or soffit.
. SeeStep4, page 15for details to cut opening for duct
