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.

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, 50 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 ver-
	tical or horizontal discharge, run ductwork between the
	hood location and a roof cap or wall cap. For best results,
	use a minimum number of transitons and elbows.
2	Use the proper diagram below, for placement of ductwork
	and electrical cutout in cabinet or wall. For a non-ducted
	installation, DO NOT cut a duct access hole.

*Note the extra wood shim and mounting screw near the cabinet front, 2-3/8” to the right of the cabinet center line.
