(ERV Shown)
RV Model Only
To operate the RV raised vent system, press and release the Up/Down pushbutton when the vent intake is in its lowered position. The intake will take approximately ten (10) seconds to reach its uppermost position, where it will stop.
The blower will then turn on automatically and run on the High speed setting. The blower speed may be adjusted by pressing and releasing either the Medium or Low pushbuttons. The fan speed may be changed whenever desired, as long as the vent intake is in the fully raised position. The blower will not operate if the intake is in any other position.
The blower may be turned off in one of two ways: First, the user may press and release the Off pushbutton, which will shut off the blower. The intake may then be lowered by pressing and releasing the Up/Down key. Alternatively, the user may press and release the Up/Down key only, which shuts off the blower and also lowers the vent intake.
NOTE
1.Activate the blower a few minutes before starting to cook to establish an airflow pattern in the room.
2.Adjust the fan speed according to the volume and weight of the cooking exhaust.
3.Reduce the fan speed if the flame on a gas cooktop is being drawn by the vent system. Drawing of the flame is a normal occurrence with these powerful vent systems, especially when installed with short duct runs.
4.Always raise the vent intake and activate the blower whenever using the cooktop.
5.Eliminate air currents in the vent vicinity by shutting nearby windows and doors, turning off ceiling fans and closing adjacent heating and air conditioning outlets.
6.Place your largest frying pans, skillets and stock pots on the rear burners whenever possible, as the draft is strongest closest to the vent intake.
WARNING:
1.Do not operate the vent system without the grill and filters in place or with dirty, grease- laden filters.
2.Do not raise or lower the vent without first verifying that pot handles or other objects will not interfere with the moving vent intake.
3.Do not set hot cookware, utensils or any other objects on the vent top cap.
4.Do not leave the vent intake in the down position when using the cooktop.
Using Delay Off
RV Model Only
When the cooking process is complete, the user may select the Delay Off feature to remove any residual exhaust by pressing and releasing the designated key. After choosing this function, the blower will continue to run at the selected fan speed for five (5) minutes, then automatically turn off. The vent intake will remain in the
fully raised position after the blower shuts off. The intake may be lowered by pressing and releasing the Up/Down key at your convenience.
While the blower is operating in Delay Off mode, the blower speed may be adjusted to set the desired blower speed and corresponding noise level. Simply press and release the High, Medium or Low key at your discretion.
To manually cancel the Delay Off function at any time, press and release the Off key or the Up/ Down pushbutton. This will shut off the blower, and, in the case of pressing the Up/Down button, also cause the vent intake to retract.
Securing the Electronic Keypad
RV Model Only
In order to prevent accidental raising or lowering of the vent, the electronic keypad may be secured so that the pushbuttons do not function. This is especially helpful when young children are present or when cleaning the top cap, end caps and electronic keypad.
While the vent is in the fully lowered or fully raised position, press the High and Low keys simultaneously and hold for approximately one second. This will secure the electronic controls, making all pushbuttons inoperative. The High and Low indicating lights will illuminate to indicate that the controls have been secured. The keypad may be reactivated by again pressing the High and Low buttons simultaneously and holding for approximately one second. After reactivation, the Up/Down key and all other pushbuttons will become functional once again.
Top Cap Cleaning
NOTE:
The top cap should be cleaned while the vent intake is in the lowered position.
The top cap and end caps feature painted finishes that will scratch or stain if cleaned with abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Gently wipe them with a sponge or soft cloth moistened in a mild detergent solution whenever they becomes soiled. Avoid introduction of moisture into the electronic keypad area
Filter Cleaning
NOTE:
The vent intake must be in the up position to allow for filter cleaning.
ERV/PRV Models Only

RV Model Only
The filters must be cleaned regularly. The Clean Filter indicating light will illuminate after 40 hours of blower usage to remind you to clean the filters. However, the filters may need to be cleaned more often based upon the type and amount of cooking. Check the filters at regular intervals.
To gain access to the filters, remove the grill as described below. The two filters are positioned side by side within the vent intake. When properly situated, the tops of the filters lean against the rear intake panel and the filter bottoms rest in a slot attached to the front intake panel. Remove one filter at a time by gently grasping the top center of the filter and lifting.

After removing the grill and filters, wipe all external and internal aluminum surfaces with a sponge or cloth moistened with a mild detergent. Rinse off with water, then remove all moisture by wiping with a soft, dry polishing cloth. Always wipe in the direction of the grain.
