Grounding – Instructions

• This appliance must be grounded. In case of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of an electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance has a cord that has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a properly installed and grounded outlet.
• Improper grounding can result in electrical shock. Consult a qualified electrician when the grounding instructions are unclear or not understandable or when there is doubt that the appliance is correctly grounded.
• Never use an extension cord. When the power cord is too short have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
• Never operate any hood with a damaged cord or plug. Discard or return to an authorized service facility for examination and or repair.
• Never run a cord under carpeting or cover with rugs or similar coverings. Do not route the cord under furniture or appliances.

CAUTION

• Ensure adequate ventilation when the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge air back into the room).
• There is a risk of fire if regular cleaning is not done in accordance with the instructions.
• Never flambe under the rangehood
• CAUTION Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
• Air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge air back into the room).

Recirculating Air Flow

Ductless/ Recirculation

In ductless installations air is vented back into the kitchen through an opening in the range hood. This method is suitable for a lighter style of cooking.

Ductless installations require the use of carbon filters (purchased separately) to help remove odors. These filters should be replaced at regular intervals as recommended by your local retailer or dealer.

Note : The carbon filter is not dishwasher safe. Do not wash carbon filters When the hood is installed as ductless/ recirculating install charcoal filters.

Replacement carbon filters purchased separately.

Carbon filter for all recirculating installations

Active carbon filters are disposable items designed to remove grease and odors from cooking vapors before the air is channeled back into the kitchen. The active carbon filters must be replaced around every 3 months, depending on how often the hood is used, to work properly.

Note:
Fully saturated carbon filters can become a barrier to air movement, impeding the rangehood’s performance.

In the event of a cooking fire, fully grease laden filters could ignite and therefore regular replacement is strongly recommended.

Replacement
To replace carbon filters (B) proceed as follows:

1. Remove aluminum filter (A).
2. To remove carbon filter undo (B).
3. To install follow above steps in reverse order.

Cabinet Preparation for Hood Support

The range hood should be mounted at a minimum distance of 24” from an electric or induction cooktop, and a minimum distance of 30” above a gas cooktop for safety and optimum performance

Warning!

When cutting or drilling into walls or cabinets be careful not to cut existing electrical wiring

1. Recessed cabinet bottom: Install wood strips on each side of the recessed area on the bottom of the cabinet where the rangehood will be mounted. Align the wood strips with the 4 keyhole slots on the top of the rangehood. Fasten the wood strips with wood screws about 3” in from each end. Note: the wood strips thickness should be slightly more than the recessed dimension. Cut the length to size.
2. Measure and mark the electrical wiring opening on the wall or cabinet. For vented hoods mark and measure the duct opening on the wall or cabinet

Use and Care

Filter
For highest efficiency, the metal filter should be removed and cleaned once a month. Soak the filter in hot water with a mild soap or detergent. Rinse thoroughly and repeat if necessary. The filter is also dishwasher safe. Heavy grease buildup may not be cleaned easily, therefore the filter may need to be replaced.

Light Bulb
This model requires 2 x 1W LED light bulbs, available from Euro-parts 1-866-722-2262

Exterior surface
Do NOT use abrasive materials such as steel wool pads or scouring pads.

Wipe the rangehood exterior with a soft cloth and a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces.

Repairs or Replacement Parts
Warning! Disconnect the range hood from the electrical power supply before servicing.

All parts may be obtained from Euro-Parts 1-866-722-2262When ordering parts, please specify the range hood model number located on the rating label, which can be found on the inside of the range hood

Trouble Shooting

When any problems occur, unplug the hood from the electrical outlet and contact Euro-Parts or an authorized servicer in order to avoid an accident.

Fan does not turn on (but light turns on).
This is probably due to either a defective fan switch or a burned-out fan motor. Both can be replaced without removing the range hood from the wall or cabinet. Use an OHM meter to determine which component is not working. If the OHM meter reads that the fan switch has 0 x OHM of resistance, then it is the motor that needs to be replaced. If it reads anything other than zero, then the switch must be replaced. Please contact Euro-Parts or an authorized servicer to fix this problem.

Light does not turn on (but fan turns on). This could be because the bulb has burned out. Try replacing the light bulb. If the light still does not work, either the light switch or the lamp-holder socket could be defective. Both can be replaced without having to remove the range from the wall or cabinet.

Rangehood does not turn on. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse.

Note : All work must be done by a qualified licensed technician.
