OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, dis-
connect from power supply before cleaning.
Aluminum mesh filters:
Clean frequently using hot water and a
mild detergent. Filters are dishwasher safe.
Charcoal filters:
Clean 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” fea-
ture works best when facing toward the cooking surface.
To clean hood:
Remove filters. Use a damp cloth and a mild de-
tergent to wipe all grease-laden surfaces. Do not use abrasive cloth,
steel wool pads, or scouring powder on the Teflon
®
-coated bottom
cover or on any painted surface. Use care when cleaning blower
wheel - it must not become bent or misaligned. DO NOT ALLOW
WATER TO ENTER MOTOR. Make sure all surfaces are com-
pletely dry before re-installing filters and restoring power.
Motor is permanently lubricated. Do not oil or disassemble motor.

CLEANING
Fan and Lights:
3 push button switches for each. Push any button
to select one of 3 fan speeds or one of 3 light levels. Push the
same button to turn fan or light off. Press another button to change
fan speed or light level. A light above each fan button indicates the
fan speed.
Heat Sentry:
Your range hood is equipped with the Heat Sentry
feature, which monitors temperature. The Heat Sentry will auto-
matically turn the fan on at its highest speed when the temperature
is above normal.
1) If a fan setting is selected when the Heat Sentry in on, the light
above the fan button will flash on and off.
2) If the fan setting is off when the Heat Sentry is on, the light
above fan button 3 will flash on and off rapidly.
After the temperature has lowered to normal, the fan will change to
the setting prior to the Heat Sentry turning on.
Fuse:
The hood control contains a fuse to protect it from power
surges. If the fuse has opened (blown), the green fan-level indica-
tors will operate properly when the fan buttons/switches are pressed
- but the fan and lights will not turn on.
The fuse is a 5 x 20 mm, 10 Amp, Fast-Acting, 125V (min.). Com-
mon manufacturer and part numbers are: Littlefuse, 217010;
Bussmann, GMA10A; Wickmann, 1942100. Radio Shack, Digikey
(1-800-344-4539), and most electronic supply stores have them in
stock.
To replace the fuse:
1.
Disconnect power at service entrance.
2.
Remove filters, bottom panel, light wire harness, and air chute.
3.
Remove and inspect fuse. If it is not open (blown), additional
diagnostics need to be done.
4.
Install new fuse.
5.
Re-assemble air chute, light wire harness, bottom panel, and
filters.
6.
Turn on power and check hood/control operation.
If hood is to be installed Non-Ducted:
Purchase a set of (2) Non-Ducted Filters from your local
distributor or retailer and attach them to the aluminum mesh
filters.
NOTE:
For models that are installed in the non-ducted mode, the
most effective operation is achieved at speeds 1 and 2.
These speeds provide the most efficient and quiet
operation during cooking, while maximizing the benefits
of the recirculating filtration system.
