of effective heat with lower energy consumption.
These lamps may not be readily available at local retail
outlets. The PAR-40 250W heat lamp is readily
available at local retail outlets.

Serviceable Component
The PHZ hood is equipped with a heat sensor
that is located inside the input board. It is not
visible or field replaceable.The entire input board
must be replaced.The sensor detects over tem-
perature conditions and turns the fan on to
protect the components. The sensor is set to
activate at 165ºF (75ºC) and reset at 140ºF
(60ºC).
Here’s how it works when the
sensor detects excessive heat:
1) If the ventilator is“off,” the ventilator will turn
on at low speed and the corresponding LED will
blink.
2) If the ventilator is “on” at any speed, the
corresponding LED will blink. No speed change
will occur.
While the sensor is activated due
to excessive heat:
1)The ventilator speed can be changed or turned
off and the corresponding LED will blink.
2) All lights will remain operational.
3) When the sensor resets back to 140ºF, the
control will continue to operate at the existing
setting though the LED will stop blinking,
indicating there is no longer an over temperatu-
re condition.
Fault code:
The circuit is equipped with an alarm indicating
that the heat sensor protection is not working
due to a damaged sensor. In this case, the three
speed indicator LED’s will start blinking.

Operating Instructions
The blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes
before cooking in order to establish air currents
upward through the hood. Thus when heat, smoke,
moisture, grease and cooking odors are produced,
they will be carried outside instead of drifting into

other rooms. Use the low speeds for normal use
and the higher speeds for strong odors or fumes.
Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the
effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be
prevented when possible.
