NON-DUCTED FILTERS

If hood is to be installed Non-Ducted:

Purchase a set of (2) Non-Ducted Filters from your local distributor or retailer and attach them to the aluminum mesh filters.

NOTE: For models that are installed in the non-ducted mode, the most effective operation is achieved at speeds 1 and 2. These speeds provide the most efficient and quiet operation during cooking, while maximizing the benefits of the recirculating filtration system.

2.Remove filters, bottom panel, light wire harness, and air chute.

3.Remove and inspect fuse. If it is not open (blown), additional diag- nostics need to be done.

4.Install new fuse.

5.Re-assemble air chute, light wire harness, bottom panel, and fil- ters.

6.Turn on power and check hood/control operation.

CLEANING

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect from power supply before cleaning.

OPERATION

Fan: 4 push button switches. Push any button to select one of the four fan speeds. Press another button to change fan speed. Push the same button to turn fan off. A light above each fan button indicates the fan speed.

Lights: Press “on/off” button and lights will come on at their previ- ous light level. Press button again to turn lights off. To increase light level, press the “+” button. To reduce light level, press the “-” button. There are 3 light levels to select.

Delay Off: While fan is running, press the “delay” button to allow the fan to run for 10 minutes and then turn itself off.

Filter Change Indicator: The light above “filter” will come on when it is time to clean your grease filters or check your non-ducted filters. After replacing the cleaned, or new filters, press the “filter” button to turn off the indicator light.

Heat Sentry System: Your range hood is equipped with an ad- vanced Heat Sentry system.

The advanced Heat Sentry system monitors temperature and au- tomatically adjust the fan to the appropriate setting.

1)If the fan is on, the Heat Sentry system will increase the fan setting when the temperature is elevated. If the temperature continues to rise, the Heat Sentry system will continue to in- crease the fan setting until the temperature is stabilized or re- duced. The flashing light above the fan button shows the Heat Sentry system fan setting. Once the temperature has reduced, the Heat Sentry system will change the fan to the original set- ting.

2)If the fan is on or off, the Heat Sentry system will automatically turn the fan on at its highest speed when the temperature is above normal. When the Heat Sentry system is on, the light above the fan button B (Boost) will flash on and off. After the temperature has lowered to normal, the fan will change to the setting prior to the Heat Sentry turning on.

Fuse: The hood control contains a fuse to protect it from power surges. If the fuse has opened (blown), the green fan-level indica- tors will operate properly when the fan buttons/switches are pressed - but the fan and lights will not turn on.

The fuse is a 5 x 20 mm, 10 Amp, Fast-Acting, 125V (min.). Com- mon manufacturer and part numbers are: Littlefuse, 217010; Bussmann, GMA10A; Wickmann, 1942100. Radio Shack, Digikey (1-800-344-4539), and most electronic supply stores have them in stock.

To replace the fuse:

1. Disconnect power at service entrance.

Aluminum mesh filters: Clean frequently using hot water and a mild detergent. Filters are dishwasher safe.

Charcoal filters: Clean filter surfaces frequently with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. DO NOT immerse filters in water or put in dishwasher. The special “Clean Sense” feature indicates when the filter is to be replaced. The blue and yellow strips will blend to green when it is time to change the filter. The “Clean Sense” fea- ture works best when facing toward the cooking surface.

To clean hood: Remove filters. Use a damp cloth and a mild deter- gent to wipe all grease-laden surfaces. Do not use abrasive cloth, steel wool pads, or scouring powder on the Teflon®-coated bottom cover or on any painted surface. Use care when cleaning blower wheel - it must not become bent or misaligned. DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO ENTER MOTOR. Make sure all surfaces are com- pletely dry before re-installing filters and restoring power.

Motor is permanently lubricated. Do not oil or disassemble motor.
