NOTE

This hood utilizes an offset blower design to achieve greater performance and lower sound levels. As a result, you may notice that cooking impurities are more attracted to one side or appear to be pulled-in faster than they appear on the opposite side. This is completely normal. The hood has been designed and tested to provide good capture of cooking impurities and odors under all normal cooking conditions regardless of the cooking location on the cooktop. Please note that cooking on the rear burners will always result in the best capture of cooking impurities, regardless of the hood design.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

For performance, appearance, and health reasons, clean filter, fan and grease-laden surfaces. Use only a clean cloth and mild detergent solution on stainless and painted surfaces.

Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filter may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions - but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty.

PREPARE HOOD LOCATION

ROOF CAP	3¼" X 10" or
	7" ROUND DUCT
	(For vertical
	discharge)

Clean the non-duct recirculating 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 cook- ing surface. Change the non-duct recirculating filters every 6 months. For replacement non-duct recirculating filters - purchase S99010360 or Model BPPF42.

(For horizontal 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, 35 W, shielded halogen bulbs - MR16 with GU10 base. Purchase bulbs separately.

1 Determine whether hood will discharge vertically (3¼” x 10” or 7” Round), or horizontally (3¼” x 10” only). For vertical or horizontal discharge, run ductwork between

the hood location and a roof cap or wall cap. For best results, use a minimum number of transitions and elbows.
