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.

OPERATION

Fan and Lights: 3 push button switches for each. Push any button to select one of 3 fan speeds or one of 3 light levels. Push the same button to turn fan or light off. Press another button to change fan speed or light level. A light above each fan button indicates the fan speed.

Heat Sentry: Your range hood is equipped with the Heat Sentry feature, which monitors temperature. The Heat Sentry will auto- matically turn the fan on at its highest speed when the temperature is above normal.

1)If a fan setting is selected when the Heat Sentry in on, the light above the fan button will flash on and off.

2)If the fan setting is off when the Heat Sentry is on, the light above fan button 3 will flash on and off rapidly.

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.

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

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

4.Install new fuse.

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

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

CLEANING

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

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” feature 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 completely dry before re-installing filters and restoring power.

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