PREPARE HOOD LOCATION

ROOF CAP

3¼" X 10" (For vertical discharge)

The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings make excessive or unusual noise, replace the motor with the exact service motor. The impeller should also be replaced.

Use 120 V, 42 W fluorescent lamp GX24Q-4. For night light, use 4 W, C-7 bulbs. (Bulbs included with hood.)

The grease filters, bottom panel, and blower wheel should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm detergent solution. The grease filters and blower wheel are dishwasher safe.

Note: Some minerals, when in contact with dishwasher soap additives, may cause filters to discolor. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.

OPERATION

Always turn the hood ON before cooking in order to establish an air flow in the kitchen. After turning off the range, let the hood run for a few minutes to clear the air.

HEAT SENTRY™

The hood is equipped with a Heat Sentry™ thermostat.This safety device will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excess heat above the cooking surface.

If the blower is not on, or if it is running at low speed, the Heat Sentry™ will override the normal blower control and run the blower on the high speed. When the temperature level drops to normal levels, the blower will return to its original setting.

Operate the hood as follows:

ON	FAN OFF
FAN	LIGHT

FAN

The 2-position switch (in center) turns blower ON and OFF. The 5-position switch (at left) controls blower speed.

Blower is OFF (secondary blower OFF).

Blower is ON at highest speed.

As dots get smaller - blower speed decreases.

LIGHT

This 3-position switch (at right) turns lights ON and OFF and controls their intensity.

Lights are OFF.

Night Light is ON. Fluorescent Light is ON.

1	Determine whether hood will discharge vertically or horizon-
	tally. For vertical or horizontal discharge, run ductwork be-
	tween the hood location and a roof cap or wall cap. For best
	results, use a minimum number of transitions and elbows.
2	Use the proper diagram below, for placement of ductwork
	and electrical cutout in cabinet or wall. For a non-ducted
	installation, DO NOT cut a duct access hole.
