CIean Cooking Filters availabIe by calIing Sears at 1-800-4-MY-HOME ®
NOTE: For models that are installed in the non-ducted mode, the most effective operation is achieved at speeds 1 and 2. These speeds provide the most efficient and quiet operation during cooking, while maximizing the benefits of the recircuiating filtration system.

CLEANING

WARNING: To reduce the risk ofetectric shock, disconnect from power suppmy before cleaning,
Amuminum mesh filters
Clean frequently using hot water and a mild detergent or in your dishwashen The aluminum mesh filters should be washed approximately every month depending on the amount of usage. Wash more often if your cooking style generates greater grease – like frying foods or wok cooking.
Non-ducted filters (Cmean Cooking hoods only)
(available separately – see page 4)
Clean filter surfaces frequently with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. DO NOT immerse filters in water or put in dishwasher.
The special “Clean Sense” feature indicates when the filter is to be replaced. The blue and yellow strips wilI blend to green when it is time to change the filter. The “Clean Sense” feature works best when facing toward the cooking surface.
Painted hood surfaces
Wiping reguIarly with mild soap/detergent and warm water should protect painted hood surfaces. Be cautious about using “New and Improved” cleaning agents. Your hood is installed over hot cooking equipment. Most chemicals found in cleaning agents react with heat to loosen paint.
Stainless steel hood surfaces
StainIess steel hoods should be washed regularly with a clean cloth, warm water and mild soap or dish detergent. Clean in the direction of the polish Iines. Rinse wel! with clear water and wipe dry immediately. You may wish to apply Iight oil used for furniturepolishing to emphasize it’s bright finish.

Teflon ®hood surfaces
Do not use abrasive cIoth, steet wool pads, or scouring powder on the Tefion®-coated bottom cover or on any painted surface.
Fan assembBy
Fan blade can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Use care when cleaning fan blade – it must not become bent or misaligned. DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO ENTER MOTOR. Make sure all surfaces are completely dry before re-installing filters and restoring power.
Motor is permanently lubricated. Do not oil or disassemble motor.

TOOLS NEEDED FOR HOOD INSTALLATION

EQUIVALENT DUCT LENGTH CHART
Kenmore range hoods are designed to perfarm efficiently when attached to long runs of duct. As a point of reference, this hood will tunction at approximately 80°. of its rated air flow when 200 equivalent feat of 7″ round ductwork is attached. Use this chart to calculate the equivalent duct langth of your system.Sears Modem “Ducting Accessories” available by calling: Sears at 1-80O-4-MY-HOME
Broan Modet “Ducting Accessories” available by calling: 1_800=558-1711.

PREPARE THE HOOD LOCATON

1. Determine whether hood will discharge vertically (3¼” x 10″ or 7″ Round), horizontally (3V4″x 10″ only) or non-ducted.
   For vertical or horizontal discharge, run ductwork between the hood location and a roof cap or wall cap.
   For best results, use a minimum number of transitions and elbows.

2. Use these diagrams for proper placement of ductwork and electrical cutout in cabinet or wail. For a non-ducted installation, DO NOT cut a duct access hole.
   

3. Run house wiring between service panel and hood location.

PREPARE THE HOOD

1. Remove 7″ Round Duct PBate from top of hood. Set duct plate aside – with mounting screws.

2. Remove tape holding FHters in place. Pull down on filter tabs and lift filters out. Set filters aside.
