WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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. -
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
-
Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
-
Do not use this unit with any additional solid-state speed control device.
-
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
-
This unit must be grounded.
-
As an alternative, this product may be installed with the UL-approved cord kit designated for this product, following instructions packed with the cord kit.
-
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 expense.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
- 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.
- Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
- Clean the ventilating fan frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts.
- 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:**
- 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.
- NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be burned.
- DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels — This could cause a violent steam explosion.
- Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you know how to operate it.
- The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
- The fire department has been called.
- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
- Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
CAUTION
- For indoor use only.
- For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
- To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced fan blade, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off range hood.
- Your hood 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 hood serviced.
- For best capture of cooking fumes, the bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 18” and at a maximum of 24” above the cooking surface.
- Always follow the cooking equipment manufacturer’s requirements regarding the ventilation needs.
- 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 spaces or garage.
- When installing, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.
- Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.
Operation
Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking 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 fresher. Operate the hood as follows:
BNDF1 SERIES
BLOWER BUTTON
When blower is OFF, press this button to turn ON the blower at the last saved
speed. If there was no speed saved, the blower will be set on LOW speed.
NOTE : When LOW speed is activated from OFF, the blower starts on MEDIUM
speed for a very short lapse of time, and then resume to LOW speed.
To change the blower speed, press on this button again until the desired speed
is reached (from LOW to MEDIUM to HIGH speed to OFF). Each time a blower speed
is activated, a beep is heard and LED indicators light up to show the
corresponding speed chosen (lower LED for LOW speed, lower and center LEDs for
MEDIUM speed and all LEDs for HIGH speed). When blower is on (no matter the
speed level), press and hold this button until the beep sound ends; this will
turn off the blower and save this blower speed to memory.
LIGHT BUTTON
When lights are OFF, press once on this button to turn ON the lights at the
last saved setting. If there was no light setting saved, the lights will be
set on LOW intensity. Press another time to set the lights on HIGH intensity.
Pressing another time after the HIGH setting will turn OFF the lights. Each
time the lights are turned ON, a beep is heard and LED indicators light up to
show the corresponding intensity chosen (lower LED for LOW and both LEDs for
HIGH). When lights are on (no matter the lighting level), press and hold this
button until the beep sound ends; this will turn off the lights and save the
chosen light intensity.
The LED modules included with this hood are the latest in LED cooktop
illumination technology specially designed to operate in the elevated
temperatures of cooking – offering bright lighting and lasting up to 25 times
as long as a standard bulb and greater reliability than typical replacement
LED bulbs.
FILTER CLEANING REMINDER
When it is time to clean the hood and filters (refer to Cleaning and
Maintenance on page 6), the 3 blower button LED indicators will flash slowly
for 30 seconds after turning the blower OFF. This will happen every time the
blower is turned OFF until the filter cleaning reminder has been reset. Once
the cleaning is done, reset the filter cleaning reminder indicators by
pressing on blower button for 3 seconds during the 30 seconds the 3 blower
button LED indicators flash slowly.
BNSC1 SERIES
Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance of the unit.
MOTOR
The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor
bearings make excessive or unusual noise, replace the motor with the exact
service motor. The fan blade should also be replaced.
GREASE FILTER(S)
Grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm dishwashing detergent
solution. Grease filters are dishwasher-safe. Clean all-metal filters in the
dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filters may
occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions
– but this will not affect filters performance. This discoloration is not
covered by the warranty. To minimize or prevent discoloration, hand wash
filters using a mild detergent.
NON-DUCTED RECIRCULATION FILTERS
The non-ducted recirculation filters should be changed every 3 to 6 months.
Replace more often if your cooking style generates extra grease, such as
frying and wok cooking. Refer to installation instructions included with non-
ducted recirculation filters.
FAN BLADE
The fan blade should be cleaned frequently. Use a clean cloth soaked with warm
detergent solution.
STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING
Do:
- Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag soaked with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.
- Always clean in the direction of original polish lines.
- Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after cleaning. Wipe dry completely.
- You may also use a specialized household stainless steel cleaner.
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 hood. During construction/renovation, cover the range hood to make sure no dust sticks to the stainless steel surface.
Avoid when choosing a detergent:
- Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack stainless steel.
- Any products containing: chloride, fl uoride, 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.
PAINTED FINISH CLEANING:
Clean with warm water and mild detergent only. If discoloration occurs, use a
finish polish such as automotive polish. (DO NOT use rough abrasive cleaner or
porcelain cleaner.)
