2 Emergency Latch Release: This release is to be used ONLY if the timed latch mechanism is not working or in the event of a power outage. Repeated use of the emergency release may damage the switching mechanism.

3 Indicator Lights: If the indicator lights do not illuminate, the filters may be missing or not properly aligned. Check them for proper positioning. Ventless hood and oven will not operate unless the hood is closed properly.

4 Combi Reset Button: The reset has to be used if the Combitherm oven is turned on before the hood or if the hood was opened. It resets the pressure switch circuit and provides power to the Combi control circuit. This switch must also be used to reset hood controls after any problem with the filters, or the improper latching of the ventless hood door.

5 Charcoal Filter: The charcoal filter should be inspected for contaminant's on a regular basis. Replacement must be made at a minimum of three month intervals — more often if heavy contaminant's are visible or if the filter no longer controls odors.

To remove the filter, pull and slide out while holding the bottom housing. When replacing the filter, make certain the air flow arrow(s)

point toward the hood fan, and that the filter is replaced in the three-sided metal frame provided with the hood.

6 Timed Latching Mechanism: In order to evacuate steam and grease-laden air from the oven interior, this mechanism prevents the operator from fully opening the oven door for 25 seconds to one minute. The mechanism automatically disengages at the end of a pre-set time allowing full door extension.

7 Grease Filter: Cleaning frequency should be based on oven usage with a maximum of two weeks between cleaning if the oven is used for non-grease laden products or steam applications only. Grease laden products require cleaning frequency of at least once a week.

Remove the grease filter by pulling it straight out of the housing. Place the filter in the dishwasher or wash separately by placing in hot, soapy water until all grease and particles have been removed. Rinse thoroughly. Allow the filter to air dry before reinstalling.

To replace the grease filter, the air flow arrow on the filter casing should be pointing toward the hood fan.
