OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking to establish an air flow
in the kitchen. Let the hood run for a few minutes to clean the air after you
turn the range off. This will keep the whole kitchen cleaner.
Controls
The hood is "OFF" when the glass visor is pushed
completely in.
LIGHT-The light will turn "ON" when the glass
visor is pulled out approximately 1/2 inch.
BLOWER-The blower will turn "ON" when the
drawer is pulled out approximately 1l½inches.
The blower speed is set using the slide control,
located to the right of the drawer.
2

Automatic Heat Sensor
Your hood is equipped with an automatic thermostat.
This thermostat is a device that will turn on or speed
up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the
cooking surface.
If your blower is not on, or if it is running at low speed,
the thermostat will sense excessive cooking heat,
override the normal blower control and turn the blower
on to high speed. The blower will run until the
temperature drops lo normal operating level. The blower
will then automatically return to its original setting.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING HOOD.
Use a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTH, STEEL WOOL
PADS OR SCOURING POWDERS. Vacuum the
blower to clean it. Do not immerse the blower in water.
The glass visor assembly and light lens are easily
removable for cleaning:
DO NOT clean in a dishwasher.

Light Bulb Replacement
This hood uses a 24" long F20T12 fluorescent
tube and an FS-2 starter, which are available at
most hm-dware stores or home centers.
To check or replace tube:
1. Pull the drawer out.
2. Rotate the filter panel clips and lower the
filter panel.
If the tube flickers or does not light, check the prongs
on the ends of the tube to make sure they are properly
seated in the tube holders.
If the tube continues to flicker or does not light,
replace the tube. Slide the tube into the holders and
rotate the tube so that the prongs in the holders grip
the tube and hold it in place.
If the ends of the tube light but the center does not,
the starter may require replacement. The starter is
located behind the filter panel on the right hand side.
Install the new starter by pushing the starter in and
turning it clockwise.
Stainless Steel (on some models)
Do not use asteel 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.
