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

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 indicators will operate properly when the fan buttons/switches are pressed - but the fan and lights will not turn on.
