SAFETY WARNINGS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is designed for domestic use.
Electric input for the device must be 110-120V, 60Hz.
A grounded cable is installed in your device. It must be connected to a grounded electrical socket.
All electrical installations must be done by a qualified electrician. Installations done by unqualified people may result in poor performance, failure of the device, and accidents.
Do not let the power cord become pinched or squeezed during installation. Keep the cord away from cooking surfaces; otherwise, the cord could melt and cause a fire.
Do not connect the power cord before installation is complete.
If the lights in your device have been on for a long time, do not touch them, they are hot enough to burn your hands.
Kitchen hoods are designed for cooking in domestic residences. There is a risk of failure if they are used for other purposes, and this will void the warranty.
Comply with local codes and regulations related to discharging air. (This warning does not apply to hoods without a stack).
Do not cook flammable foods below the hood.
Start the hood after placing pots or pans on your cooking surface. Otherwise, high temperatures may result in the deformation of parts of the hood.
Do not leave hot oil on the cooking surface. Pots that contain hot oil can ignite, causing fires.
When frying foods, be mindful of curtains. They may catch fire.
Change the filters regularly. Oily residues could become fire risks.
When replacing filters, always use the same type of filter as the original. Substitutes may be unsuitable.
Do not use the device without a filter. Do not remove filters while the device is in use.
If there is ignition or sparking, cut off the electric power to the device. (Turn off the switch.)
If the device is not cleaned regularly, built-up grime and dirt could cause a fire.
When you make the stack installation for your hood, use 5.9″ (150mm) diameter pipes. The stack installation must be as short and with as few bends as possible.
Keep the packing materials away from children, as these materials could be dangerous to them.
Ensure that children do not play with the device. Do not let little children use the device.
If the electrical cable is defective, it must be changed by the manufacturer or a qualified service technician.
If there is a fire, cut off the power to the hood and cooking devices and cover the flame. Do not use water to extinguish the fire.
Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return it to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING – Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.”
Use only with rangehood cord-connection kits that have been investigated and found acceptable for use with this model rangehood.”

WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE-TOP GREASE FIRE:

Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
Always turn the hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food.
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filters.
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

WARNING! 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, to douse the fire – this could result in a violent explosion of hot steam.
Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
- The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
- The fire department is being called.
- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR OTHER INJURY, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

WARNING: Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power off at the service panel and lock the service-disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. If the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

CAUTION:

WARNING: The fan in this device is for general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
WARNING: Use only metal ductwork.

EFFICIENT VENTILATION For proper ventilation, windows must be kept closed. Doors and windows opening to other rooms may be kept open.

IMPORTANT NOTE!

Pay attention when operating the hood simultaneously with devices that work by burning the ambient air with fuel (such as gas heaters). The burning may be affected because the hood discharges air in the room to the outside. This advice does not apply to hoods not having an outside exhaust.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the device prior to maintenance (cut off its power supply by turning off the switch).
The aluminum cassette filter holds oils and dust from the air. The metal filter must be washed in hot soapy water every month, if possible, in the dishwasher at 140°F.
To disassemble, press on the spring clamps at the edge of the cassette filter.(After cleaning, do not reassemble before drying.)
Outer surfaces of the hood should be wiped with a cloth dampened with a solution of liquid detergent. Do not clean the unit with products containing corrosive substances.
Avoid wetting switches or other electronic parts when cleaning with water or other liquids.
When cleaning stainless steel surfaces, use products specifically made for this use.

Note: Aluminum filters may change color after several washings in the dishwasher. This is normal and does not affect the performance of the filter.

CARBON FILTER REPLACEMENT

Before replacing the round carbon filters, disconnect the power to your device. The carbon filters are located behind the metal filter, on the left and the right sides of the blower. First, take out the metal filter. To replace the carbon filters, remove the old ones from the device and mount the new ones as shown. In kitchens that do not have a chimney outlet, the carbon filter should be replaced every 3-5 months depending on usage.
