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 to the outdoors.
7. Do not use this unit with any additional solid-state speed control device.
8. reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.
10. 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 expenses.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

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.
b) Always turn power pack ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface e

CAUTION

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 power pack motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated.
   The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the power pack serviced.

5. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be at a minimum of 24” and at a maximum of 36” above the cooking surface.

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. This product is equipped with a thermostat which may start blower automatically. To reduce the risk of injury and to prevent power from being switched on accidentally, switch power off at service panel and lock or tag service panel.

9. Because of the high exhausting capacity of this hood, you should make sure enough air is entering the house. Use an appropriate make-up air device or open a window close to or in the kitchen.

10. To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, the Best UP27 Series hood must be installed with Best interior blower models iQ6, P3 or P6; Best exterior blower models EB6, EB9, EB12 or EB15; Best inline blowers models ILB3, ILB6, ILB9, ILB11.

17. USE AND CARE

Hybrid Baffle Filters
The hybrid baffle filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. Wash more often if your cooking style generates greater grease—like frying foods or wok cooking.
Remove hybrid baffle filters by pushing them towards the front of hood and rotating filters downward. Baffle filters are dishwasher safe. Allow filters to dry completely before reinstalling them in the hood.
Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filter may occur if using phosphate detergent or as a result of local water conditions — but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.

CAUTION

Never attempt to wash the carbon filters in the non-duct kit. Those filters must be replaced by new ones. Refer to the non-duct kit installation instructions for details.

Grease Drip Rail

The grease drip rail should be cleaned frequently. Lift it out from the hood and use a warm detergent solution. Wash more often if your cooking style generates greater grease—like frying foods or wok cooking. Allow grease drip rail to dry completely before reinstalling it in the hood.

Blower Cleaning

Interior blower
Remove the filters in order to access the blower. Vacuum blower to clean. Do not immerse in water. xterior or in-line blower
Refer to blower instruction manual for more details.
Hood cleaning
Stainless steel cleaning:

Do:

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

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 power pack. During construction/renovation, cover the power pack to make sure no dust sticks to stainless steel surface.

Avoid when choosing a detergent:

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

18. OPERATION

Always turn ON your hood before you begin cooking in order to establish an air flow in the kitchen. Let the blower run for a few minutes to clear the air after you turn off the range. This will help keep the whole kitchen cleaner and brighter

Blower

The blower is operated using two (2) controls.
Use the ON/OFF switch (item 1 on picture above) to start and stop the blower. When turned on, the blower will operate at the previous setting of the speed control (item 2 on picture above).
Turn the speed control knob counterclockwise to increase blower speed—clockwise to decrease speed.

HEAT SENTRY™

This 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 HIGH speed. When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original setting
• If blower is OFF and excessive heat is detected above the cooking surface, HEAT SENTRY will turn the blower to HIGH speed. When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower turns back OFF.

WARNING

The Heat Sentry can start the blower during a range top fire or other excessive heat situations even if the hood is turned off. In this case, it is impossible to turn the blower OFF with blower switch. If you must stop the blower, do it from the main electrical panel.

Cooktop Lighting (Halogen)

The halogen lighting is controlled by two switches; one ON/OFF switch and one light intensity control switch.
When turned on, the halogen bulbs will light cooktop at the previous setting of the light intensity control.
Turn the light intensity control knob counterclockwise to increase lighting—clockwise to decrease lighting.
Use 120 V, 50 W, MR16 with GU10 base or PAR16 with GU10 base, shielded halogen lamps (included).
