1.Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufac- turer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.

2.Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the ser- vice disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

3.Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

4.Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhaust- ing of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equip- ment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code au- thorities.

5.This product may have sharp edges. Be careful to avoid cuts and abrasions during installation and cleaning.

10.As an alternative, this product may be installed with the UL- approved cord kit designated for the product, following in- structions packed with the cord kit.

11.This unit must be grounded.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1.Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ig- nite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

2.Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

3.Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be al- lowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

4.Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:*

1.SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately,

EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

2.NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be burned or spread the fire.

3.DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - violent steam explosion will result.

4.Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

A.You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it.

B.The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

C.The fire department is being called.

D.You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

1.For indoor use only.

2.For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust haz- ardous or explosive materials and vapors.

3.To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbal- anced impeller, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc., off power unit.

4.Do not use over cooking equipment greater than 60,000 BTU/hr. as the blower motor will shut down intermittantly.

5.Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automati- cally shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.

6.The top of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 24” and at a maximum of 30” above cooktop for best capture of cooking impurities.

7.This hood is not intended to be used as a shelf.

QP230BC, QP242SS, QP230BL, QP236BL, QP236SS specifications

The Broan QP242BC, QP242SS, QP236BL, QP242WW, and QP230WW range hoods are sophisticated ventilation solutions designed to enhance kitchen environments. These models not only deliver superior performance but also blend functionality with style.

One of the standout features of these range hoods is their sleek design, available in various finishes, including black, stainless steel, and white. This variety allows homeowners to select a model that seamlessly integrates with their existing kitchen decor. The hoods are designed to sit flush with cabinetry, creating a streamlined appearance.

These hoods are engineered with powerful ventilation systems that ensure effective air purification. They feature multi-speed blowers, typically featuring at least three different settings, allowing users to customize airflow based on their cooking needs. The efficiency is backed by a high CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating, which indicates their ability to quickly eliminate smoke, odors, and grease from the kitchen.

An important technology incorporated into these Broan hoods is the quiet operation feature. Many models utilize advanced noise-reduction technologies, ensuring that the ventilation fans operate at lower decibel levels, allowing for a more enjoyable cooking experience without disruptive background noise.

The easy-to-use controls are another significant aspect of the Broan hoods. Most models come equipped with modern push-button or slider controls, making it simple to adjust fan speed according to the level of cooking activity. Additionally, some versions include an integrated lighting system, often featuring energy-efficient LED bulbs that provide excellent illumination for the cooking surface while adding to the aesthetic appeal.

Furthermore, many of these models are designed with easy maintenance in mind. They often come with dishwasher-safe filters that trap grease and can be easily cleaned, ensuring the longevity and performance of the unit.

Safety is also a priority; some models feature a heat sentry function that automatically adjusts the fan speed if it detects excessive heat, providing added protection in the kitchen.

In summary, the Broan QP242BC, QP242SS, QP236BL, QP242WW, and QP230WW range hoods represent a harmonious blend of style, technology, and efficiency. With their powerful performance, user-friendly features, and attractive designs, these hoods are an excellent choice for any modern kitchen looking to elevate its ventilation system.
