ALL UNITS

HEAT SENTRY™
Your unit is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY™ thermostat. This thermostat is a device that will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the cooking surface.

1. If the blower is OFF – it turns the blower ON to HIGH speed.
2. If the blower is ON at a lower speed setting – it turns the blower up to HIGH speed.
   When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original setting.
   NOTE: When Heat Sentry is activated, the fan key backlight flashes slowly and the fan speed cannot be changed.

WARNING: The HEAT SENTRY thermostat can start the blower even if the hood is turned OFF. When this occurs, it is impossible to turn the blower OFF with its key. If you must stop the blower, set the main power switch (located behind the filter, on inner side of the unit faceplate) in OFF position (if it is possible to do so safely). See inset in FIG. 32.

Clean the filter in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filter may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions – but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty. To minimize or prevent discoloration, hand wash filter using a mild detergent.

For Range Hood Products that include built-in LED modules, the Company warrants the LED modules and driver to be free from material defects for three (3) years from the date of purchase.

To the extent that applicable law prohibits the exclusion of implied warranties or conditions, the duration of any applicable implied warranty or condition is limited to the period specified for the express warranty above. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Any oral or written description of the Product is for the sole purpose of identifying it and shall not be construed as an express warranty.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Limited Warranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision is held to be prohibited or invalid, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the other remaining provisions of the Limited Warranty.

Remedy: During the applicable limited warranty period, the Company will, at its option, provide replacement parts for, or repair or replace, without charge, any Product or part thereof, to the extent the Company finds it to be covered by and in breach of this limited warranty under normal use and service. The Company will ship the repaired or replaced Product or replacement parts to you at no charge. You are responsible for all costs for removal, reinstallation and shipping, insurance or other freight charges incurred in the shipment of the Product or part to the Company. If you must send the Product or part to the Company, as instructed by the Company, you must properly pack the Product or part—the Company is not responsible for damage in transit. The Company reserves the right to utilize reconditioned, refurbished, repaired or remanufactured Products or parts in the warranty repair or replacement process. Such Products and parts will be comparable in function and performance to an original Product or part and warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law).

The company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refund the money paid by you for the Product instead of repair or replacement. If the Product or component is no longer available, replacement may be made with a similar product of equal or greater value, at the Company’s sole discretion. This is your sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this limited warranty.
