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 the 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 a qualified person(s) 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 guideline and safety standards such as those published by  the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society of 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. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this range hood with an additional speed control device.
7. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
10. This unit must be grounded.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1. 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. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods.
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
4. 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 – violent steam explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
   A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it.
   B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
   C. The fire department is being called.
   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. For best capture of cooking impurities, your range hood should be mounted so that the top of the hood is 24-30” above the cooking surface.
5. Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

Installer: Leave this manual with the homeowner.
Homeowner: Operating and Cleaning information on page 6.

NOTE If hood is to be installed Non-Ducted:
Purchase a set of (2) non-ducted filters from your local distributor or retailer and attach them to the aluminum mesh filters.

PREPARE HOOD LOCATION

1. Determine whether hood will discharge vertically (3¼” x 10”), or horizontally (3¼” x 10” only). 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 transitons  and elbows.

2. Use diagrams, below, for proper placement of ductwork and electrical cutout in cabinet or wall. 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 tape holding in place. Pull down on filter tabs or finger holes and lift filters out. Set filters aside.
   

2. Remove Teflon® -coated bottom cover from hood. Set cover and mounting screws aside.
   Teflon ® is a registered trademark of DuPont.
   

3. Remove Damper/Duct Connector from inside the hood.
   Set connector aside – with mounting screws and parts bag.
   

4. Remove either top or back wiring knockout and install approved.
   Ducted Installation – Skip to Step 11.
   The following Steps (5 thru 10) are for NON-DUCTED INSTALLATION ONLY.
   

5. Remove Light Panel – held in place with (3) #8 screws and (2) #8 screws. Disconnect light assembly wire harness (white connector).

6. Remove Air Chute – held in place with one (1) screw.
   NOTE: Be careful not to disconnect any wires.

7. Remove Baffle from air chute.
   Tabs will disengage from Slots.
   

8. Rotate baffle. Reinsert baffle into air chute (as shown) so that baffle fits all the way into into air chute. An audible “click” will be heard when fully installed.
   This will direct air flow through the non-ducted slots on top of hood.

9. Re-install air chute and screw, re-connect wire harness, and replace light panel.
   NOTE: Be careful not to trap wires between Support Fin and light panel.
   

10. Non-Ducted Installations Only: Require a Performance Ring to be attached to the blower wheel.
    To install ring:
    1. Remove the Blower Wheel by rocking it side to side and applying a slight force to pull wheel from motor. Remove Retaining Ring if necessary.
    2. Slide the ring onto the Small Diameter End of the wheel and down to the Stop Edge of the wheel.
    3. Reassemble wheel to motor. Make sure Tab on wheel fits into one of the Motor Slots.
    4. Push wheel down until it is locked in place.
    5. Check that wheel is properly positioned as shown. Press Sections into place if necessary. Make sure wheel turns freely.

11. Remove appropriate Duct Knockout(s) from top or back of hood.
    

12. Horizontal Discharge Only: Remove the Plate in front of the horizontal discharge knockout. Cut the Ties, lift plate out, and discard plate. DO NOT REMOVE the Metal Strip held in place with two Screws.
    

13. 3¼” x 10” Ducted Discharge Only: Remove Tape from damper flap and attach Damper/Duct Connector over knockout opening with screws removed in Step 4 under “PREPARE THE HOOD”. Make sure damper Pivot is nearest to Top/Back Edge of hood.
    NOTE Damper/Duct Connector can be installed up to 1-inch on either side of hood center – to accomodate off-center ductwork. In extreme off-center installations, one end of the duct connector may need to be trimmed to clear the electrical cable clamp.

CONNECT WIRING

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, make sure power is switched off at the service panel. Lock or tag service panel to prevent power from being switched on accidentally.

1. Connect (120 VAC) to hood. Use a piece of to protect the cooktop, if necessary.
   

2. Connect house black to hood black wire, house white to hood white wire, and house ground under Green Ground Screw.
   Securely tighten cable clamp onto house wiring.

1. Hang hood from (4) Mounting Screws. Slide hood towards wall until mounting screws are engaged in narrow end of (4) Keyholes. Tighten mounting screws securely. A long screwdriver works best.

2. Replace bottom cover.
   

3. Connect ductwork to hood. Use Duct Tape to make joints secure and air tight.
   

4. Install (2) PAR20, 50 W Maximum Halogen Bulbs or (2) R16, 40 W Maximum Incandescent Bulbs. Purchase bulbs separately.
   CAUTION: Bulbs may be hot! Refer to bulb packaging for further information.

5. Replace filters, turn on power at service panel, and test for proper operation.

NON-DUCTED FILTERS

If hood is to be installed Non-Ducted:
Purchase a set of (2) Non-Ducted Filters from your local distributor or retailer and attach them to the aluminum mesh filters.
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 recirculating filtration  system.

OPERATION

Fan: 4 push button switches. Push any button to select one of the four fan speeds. Press another button to change fan speed. Push the same button to turn fan off. A light above each fan button indicates the fan speed.
Lights: Press “on/off” button and lights will come on at their previous light level. Press button again to turn lights off. To increase light level, press the “+” button. To reduce light level, press the “-” button. There are 3 light levels to select.
Delay Off: While fan is running, press the “delay” button to allow the fan to run for 10 minutes and then turn itself off.
Filter Change Indicator: The light above “filter” will come on when it is time to clean your grease filters or check your non-ducted filters. After replacing the cleaned, or new filters, press the “filter” button to turn off the indicator light.
Heat Sentry System: Your range hood is equipped with an advanced Heat Sentry system.
The advanced Heat Sentry system monitors temperature and automatically adjust the fan to the appropriate setting.

1. If the fan is on, the Heat Sentry system will increase the fan setting when the temperature is elevated. If the temperature continues to rise, the Heat Sentry system will continue to increase the fan setting until the temperature is stabilized or reduced. The flashing light above the fan button shows the Heat Sentry system fan set- ting. Once the temperature has reduced, the Heat Sentry system will change the fan to the original setting.
2. If the fan is on or off, the Heat Sentry system will automatically turn the fan on at its highest speed when the temperature is above normal. When the Heat Sentry system is on, the light above the fan button B (Boost) will flash on and off. After the  temperature has lowered to normal, the fan will change to the setting prior to the Heat Sentry turning on.

Fuse: The hood control contains a fuse to protect it from power surges. If the fuse has opened (blown), the green fan-level indicators will operate properly when the fan buttons/switches are pressed – but the fan and lights will not turn on.
The fuse is a 5 x 20 mm, 10 Amp, Fast-Acting, 125V (min.). Common manufacturer and part numbers are: Littlefuse, 217010; Bussmann, GMA10A; Wickmann, 1942100. Radio Shack, Digikey (1-800-3444539), and most electronic supply stores have them in stock. To replace the fuse:

1. Disconnect power at service entrance.
2. Remove filters, bottom panel, light wire harness, and air chute.
3. Remove and inspect fuse. If it is not open (blown), additional diagnostics need to be done.
4. Install new fuse.
5. Re-assemble air chute, light wire harness, bottom panel, and filters.
6. Turn on power and check hood/control operation.

NOTE: This hood utilizes an offset blower design to achieve greater performance and lower sound levels. As a result, you may notice that cooking impurities are more attracted to one side or appear to be pulled-in faster than they appear on the opposite side.  This is completely normal.
The hood has been designed and tested to provide good capture of cooking impurities and odors under all normal cooking conditions regardless of the cooking location on the cooktop. Please note that cooking on the rear burners will always result in the best  capture results, regardless of the hood design.

CLEANING

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect from power supply before cleaning.
Aluminum mesh filters: Clean frequently using hot water and a mild detergent. Filters are dishwasher safe.
Charcoal filters: 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 dotted lines on the indicator strip  will change to solid wide lines when it is time to change the filter. The “Clean Sense” feature works best when facing toward the cooking surface.
To clean hood: Remove filters. Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent to wipe all grease-laden surfaces. Do not use abrasive cloth, steel wool pads, or scouring powder on the Teflon ® -coated bottom cover or on any painted surface. Use care when cleaning  lower wheel – 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. Teflon® is a registered trademark of DuPont.
