WARNING REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO A PERSON(S) 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 the unit, switch the power off at the 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 qualified personnel 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 back-drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for 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. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. Do not use this range hood with any additional solid-state speed control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only steel ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.

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 cooking flaming foods.
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSON(S) 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 – This could cause a violent steam explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
   • You know you have 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.

CALIBRATE iQ BLOWER SYSTEM

INTERNAL BLOWER DUCTED UNITS ONLY
After the hood is installed and wired, engage the calibration process (our Guaranteed Performance System Technology to ensure full-rated airflow is being delivered). Prior to calibration, ensure that all filters, light bulbs and duct system are installed.
CALIBRATION PROCESS
Hold the calibration button for 3 seconds; the calibration button will light up and stay on for up to 13 minutes. The blower will start and begin the calibration process. When calibration is complete, one of two things will occur:

1. The blower turns off and the calibration button light stays on = Successful calibration. Press the button to turn off the LED.
   Note: The LED will also turn off if you select any blower speed on the control.

2. The blower turns off and the calibration button light blinks continuously = Too much restriction in the ductwork is preventing the IQ Blower System™ from achieving the rated airflow. The blower is automatically set to maximum intensity.

NOTE: Common items that cause restrictions: restricted damper flap (backdraft damper, wall cap, roof cap), too many elbows, duct size less than 80% of hood outlet, poor transition, use of flex ducting and/or crushed ducting. Three options are available if your hood system has too many restrictions:

1. Accept airflow as is.
   • Press the calibration button to accept airflow as is. The IQ Blower System™ is now configured to the highest possible performance. The blinking calibration light goes out. Note: The LED will also turn off if you select any blower speed on the control.
2. Correct duct restriction, clear the original calibration data, and repeat the calibration process.
   • Correct the duct restriction.
   • Clear the original calibration data by holding the calibration button for 10 seconds. The light will blink 3 times to confirm and the blower configuration will go back to default settings.
   • Repeat the calibration process from the beginning.
3. Clear calibration data to reset the hood to the default factory setting and achieve standard high-pressure blower performance.
   • Clear calibration data and reset the hood to the factory default setting by holding the calibration button for 10 seconds. The light will blink 3 times to confirm and the blower configuration will go back to default settings.
