Federal Communication Commission Interface Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depends on the air in the environment and is supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the environ-ment which a burner or fireplace needs for combustion. The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4×10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for the safe operation of the cooker hood. Follow the local laws applicable to external air evacuation.
Before connecting the model to the electricity network:
- Control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.
- If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced with another cable or a special assembly, which may be obtained directly from the manufacturer or from the Technical Assistance Centre.
Warning!
In certain circumstances, electrical appliances may be a danger hazard.
- Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood is operating.
- Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight after prolonged use of the lighting installation.
- Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood.
- Avoid free flame, as it is damaging to the filters and a fire hazard.
- Constantly check food frying to avoid the overheated oil may become a fire hazard.
- Disconnect the electrical plug before any maintenance.
- This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Ducting Options

WARNING FIRE HAZARD

NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceilings, attics or garages.
All exhaust must be ducted to the outside unless using the recirculating option.
Use single-wall rigid Metal ductwork only.
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints w/certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.

Some Ducting Options

Mounting the Range Hood

MOUNTING HEIGHTS
The range hood must be installed at a mini-mum height of 24 inches (61cm) from the cooking surface. If a connecting duct work composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be placed outside the lower part. Do not connect the range hood duct to the same duct used to exhaust hot air or fumes from another appliance. Before proceeding with the assembly instructions remove the decorative mesh filters so that the range hood is easier to handle.

MOUNTING TO THE WALL

Place the paper template included with your hood on the wall to determine where to add the screws for mounting the hood. Make sure the bottom of the template aligns with the bottom of where the hood will be located. See Fig. 9
Lift the hood onto the screws and adjust to make sure the hood is level.
When the hood has been adjusted tighten the screws to secure the hood in place.

NOTE:
Screws must be fastened into wooden studs so wood blocking may be necessary. If using wall anchors make sure to check your local codes for suitability and type of anchors to use.

NOTE1:
For the various installations use screws and screw anchors suited to the type of wall (minimum screw size: 1/4″ diameter x 2-3/4″ length).

Touch Control

A – Lights Button: Lights are two levels (high, and low). From stand-by-on mode, touch once for high, twice for low, and three times to cycle back.
B – Delay Off Button: Press the Delay Off Button to enable the ten-minute delay-off function, no matter at what speed the fan is running. B button will start blinking indicating the delay off function is enabled. After ten minutes the fan and lights will turn off. The delay-off function can be disabled by pressing the B button, changing the speed, or pressing the Power Button C.
C – Power Button: Press once to activate all button stand-by mode allowing control of other button functions. All buttons will illuminate indicating stand-by mode. Press the Power Button again to turn the hood off (fan and lights). The standby mode will remain active for 30 seconds.
D – Low-Speed Button: In stand-by mode: Press once for low speed.
E – Medium Speed Button: In stand-by mode: Press once for medium speed.
F – High-Speed Button: In stand-by mode: Press once for high speed.

MESH FILTER CLEAN REMINDER
(always enabled): after 60 hours of fan usage, button A blinks when the hood is on stand-by, indicating it is time to clean the mesh filters. To Reset the function: with the hood on stand-by, press and hold the B button for 4 to 5 seconds, the A button will stop blinking, and the 60-hour timer will reset.

CHARCOAL FILTER REPLACE REMINDER

(disabled by default, must be enabled by the user if recirculating hood): To enable Charcoal Filter Replacement Function hold buttons D and F simultaneously for four seconds. The A button will quickly flash 3 times indicating the Charcoal
Filter Replacement Function is enabled. After 200 hours of fan usage, the B button will blink while the hood is on, indicating it is time to replace the charcoal filters.
To Reset the Charcoal Filter Replace Reminder function: Hold the B button for 4 to 5 seconds until it stops flashing, and the 200-hour timer will reset.

To disable the Charcoal Filter Replacement function, repeat the enable procedure, the A button will illuminate for 3 seconds then turn off indicating the Charcoal Filter Replacement Function is disabled.

AIRFLOW CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
Airflow Control Technology (ACT™) enables the installer to reduce the maximum blower CFM to one of two most specified CFM levels; 390 or 290 CFM. The usage of ACT may not be necessary for your installation. Please check your local codes for CFM restrictions.

Setting ACT 390
With the hood off, press buttons E and F simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds. The buttons will flash for 2 seconds to confirm the setting change. The hood will have 3 fan speeds in ACT 390.

Setting ACT 290
With the hood off, press buttons B and F simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds. The buttons will flash for 2 seconds to confirm the setting change. The hood will have 2 fan speeds in ACT 290.

Take care when reducing the CFM. After the ACT feature is set, it cannot be reverted to the default CFM.

Maintenance

It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking. It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 5 minutes after cooking is completed to eliminate cooking vapours and odours. The proper function of the range hood is conditioned by the regularity of maintenance.
The decorative mesh filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air and are therefore subject to clogging because of frequent use. To prevent a fire hazard, it is recommended to clean the filter a minimum of every 2 months or when instructed by the Metal Filter Clean indicator on the range hood controls. Clean the range hood by carrying out the following instructions:
- Remove the filters from the range hood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving them to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
- Filters may also be washed in the dishwasher at the lowest setting.
  The filters may alter in colour after several washes but are not cause for replacement.
Clean the blower and other surfaces of the range hood regularly using a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or non-abrasive liquid detergent.
