WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
4. 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.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.
7. Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.
10. All tempered glass can experience spontaneous breakage. If broken, tempered glass falls out of its opening in interlocking clumps. Tempered glass can, on occasion, break into large shards rather than the classic tiny piece pattern.
11. When applicable, local regulations comprise more restrictive installation and/or certification requirements, the aforementioned requirements prevail on those of this document and the installer agrees to conform to these at his own expense.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1. 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.
2. b ) Always turn power hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
3. c ) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts.
4. 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:**

1. 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.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels —This could cause a violent steam explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
5. A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you know how to operate it.
6. B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
7. C. The fire department has been called.
8. D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

• Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

1. For indoor use only.
2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.
4. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the motor if it overheats. The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
5. The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less than 24” (30” over a gas range). A maximum of 30” above cooktop is recommended for best capture of cooking impurities.
6. Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this unit.
7. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside — Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics, crawl space or garage.
8. Because of the high exhausting capacity of this hood, you should make sure enough air is entering the house. Open a window close to or in the kitchen.
9. To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, the Best WCB3I Series models should only be installed with its own built-in blower.
10. Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

WCB3I SERIES RANGE HOOD SYSTEM

INSTALL DUCTWORK

Plan where and how the ductwork will be installed. The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the airflow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated airflow. Refer to the table below to help you plan the most efficient installation. Install wall or roof cap and ensure there is no leak in house insulation. Connect metal ductwork to cap and work back towards the hood location. Use 2” metal foil duct tape to seal the joints. We recommend to install the hood at a minimum distance of 24” from an electric range and of 30” from a gas range.

Distances over 36 in. are at the installer and users discretion. 10-ft. ceilings require 10-ft. flue extension, part no. AEWCB3SB (stainless steel) or no. AEWCB3BLS (black stainless steel) (sold separately).

WIRING INSTALLATION

WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if there is any doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance, in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Turn off electrical power at service entrance before wiring.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Position the outlet within the space covered by the decorative flue. Place the outlet at a maximum distance of 24” (from where the cord exits from the hood). The center of the outlet must be positioned at 3½” from the center of the future hood location (as illustrated beside). Make sure this does not interfere with a mounting bracket fastening area or with the decorative flue (where the flue touches the wall).

INSTALL HOOD MOUNTING BRACKET

WARNING
When cutting or drilling into wall, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. Construct wood wall framing that is even with the surface of the wall studs.
Make sure to assemble wood wall framing to wall studs for a solid installation. Make sure the height of the framing will allow the mounting bracket to be secured to the framing within the dimensions shown (see illustration at right). After wall surface is finished, carefully center and level the hood mounting bracket over installation location. Secure it to wall framing using 3 no. 8 x 1½” screws. Using a level, draw a vertical line up to the ceiling starting from the mounting bracket center.

INSTALL UPPER FLUE MOUNTING BRACKET

This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.

STAINLESS STEEL

Do:

• Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag soaked with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.
• Always clean in the direction of original polish lines.
• Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after cleaning. Wipe dry completely.
• You may also use a specialized household stainless steel cleaner

Don’t:

• Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
• Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
• Allow dirt to accumulate.
• Let plaster dust or any other construction residues reach the hood. During construction/renovation, cover the hood to make sure no dust sticks to stainless steel surfaces.

GLASS PANEL
Hot water with mild soap or glass cleaner is all that is usually needed. When using mild soap, rinse with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks.

Avoid when choosing a detergent:

• Any cleaners that contain bleach. They will attack stainless steel.
• Any products containing : chloride, fluoride, iodide, bromide. They will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.
• Any combustible products used for cleaning such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol, etc. They are highly explosive and should never be used close to a range

OPERATION

Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking to establish an airflow in the kitchen. Let the blower run for a few minutes to clear the air after you turn off the range.

CAUTION
After a power failure or during the range hood power up, a 5-second booting sequence is executed. Wait for the control backlighting to turn off before use.

DELAY BUTTON/CONTROL LOCK (DOUBLE FUNCTION BUTTON):

1. When a blower speed is selected, press this button to activate the delay function. The delay button will light to its high intensity, then to its mid intensity to indicate this function is activated; the selected blower speed button will alternate every 2 seconds between its high intensity and its mid intensity. The blower will continue to operate for 5 minutes and will stop automatically. Selecting another speed while the delay function is activated will not deactivate the function or reset the timer. To cancel the delay function, press the delay button once again, or press the selected speed button which will also turn the blower off.
2. When the blower is off, it is possible to lock the control interface in order to clean the glass panel. To lock the control interface: Press and hold this button for 2 seconds. The button will light to its high intensity and flash three times, it will then stay on its mid intensity to indicate that the control interface is locked. To unlock the control interface: Press and hold this button for 2 seconds. The button will light to its high intensity and flash 3 times, it will then fade out to its low intensity to indicate that the control interface is unlocked.

SPEED SELECTION BUTTONS
Press the button corresponding to the desired blower speed (from 1 for low speed to 4 for high speed). The chosen speed button will light to its high intensity then fade to its mid intensity. To turn off the blower, press once more on the corresponding blower speed button; the button light will fade to its low intensity.

NOTE : When blower is off, pressing on blower speed 1 button will cause the blower to start on second speed for a very short lapse of time, and then resume to speed 1.

NOTE: To decrease the maximum airflow from 600 CFM to 300 CFM, follow the instructions of the 300 CFM CRT kit (included with the unit, envelope no. 23894, or order SV23894 part).

MASTER ON/OFF:
When the blower and lights are off, press this button to turn the hood on to the last memorized speed level and light intensity. If there are no memorized speed level and light intensity, speed will be set at level 1 and light intensity at 3. To turn off the blower and the light simultaneously, press this button once

HEAT SENTRY™: The hood is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY thermostat. If blower is ON at a lower speed setting and excessive heat is detected above the cooking surface, it turns the blower up to third speed. When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original setting.

NOTE: When Heat Sentry is activated, the “DELAY OFF” function is inactivated

WARNING
The Heat Sentry can change the blower speed when excessive heat is detected above the cooking surface. If this situation occurs and you must stop the blower, press on the third speed button or on the master ON/OFF button.

LIGHT BUTTON/BACKLIGHTING COLOR (DOUBLE FUNCTION BUTTON):

1. This button allows three different lighting levels according to your needs. Press once for full intensity, twice for intensity level 2, and once more for nightlight. To turn off the lights, press once more. If desired, when the lights are on, press and maintain the light button for 1 second; lights will be turned off.
   NOTE : When only the lights are ON to any intensity and no interaction with the hood is detected for a 10-second period, the 7 buttons backlighting will fade to its low intensity, acting as a night light feature.

2. When lights are off, pressing and holding this button for 1 second will switch the backlighting color from white to blue or from blue to white (default backlighting color is white) and memorize it. The button will flash three times to indicate that the color change has been made.
   NOTE : Due to the particular sensitivity of the control interface, keep the glass panel clean as dirt and condensation may cause erratic operation of the hood blower and/or lighting. If this situation occurs, wipe the glass panel and wait 90 seconds. Then, adjust the blower and/or lighting at your convenience.
