Operation

Operating the Hood

For the best results, the blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes before cooking in order to establish air currents upward through the hood. Thus when heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors are produced, they will be carried outside instead of drifting into other rooms. Use the low speeds for normal use and the higher speed for strong odors or fumes.

Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be prevented when possible.

The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where the only air currents are those created by the blower itself.

Off

Pressing the button once turns the blower off and resets the control.

Fan Speed

Pressing the button once, from an “off” state, turns the blower on low. Each successive press of the button increases the fan speed until HIGH speed is reached, then the fan cycles back to the low speed.

The LEDs above this button indicate the current fan speed. When the fan is on, the corresponding LED is illuminated.

1 — LOW

2 — MED

3 — HIGH

Auto (custom insert control panel only)

When in Auto mode, the hood automatically turns the blower on, depending on the amount of heat the control senses. It automatically adjusts every 5 minutes. If the control does not sense a high level of heat, it will turn the blower off.

Auto feature is disabled if a remote control is installed.

Clean Filter Reminder

After 40 hours of operation, the clean filter reminder LED above this button will illuminate indicating that the filters need to be cleaned. When this indicator illuminates, clean the filters as instructed on page 6. After cleaning, press this button for 3 seconds to reset the 40-hour period and turn the LED off.

Remote Control Panel (optional)

The optional wall-mounted remote control panel provides light and blower control from a more accessible location. Refer to the Remote Control Installation Instruction for detailed instructions.

Delay (shut off)

If the blower is off when the Delay button is pressed, the blower will turn on to the HIGH speed setting for 10 minutes. At the end of the cycle the blower will turn off.

If the blower is on when the Delay button is pressed, the blower runs for 10 minutes at the current speed then turns off.

During the 10 minute timed period, the LED above the Delay button is illuminated.

To interrupt a timed period, press Fan Speed or OFF button.
