Maintenance

Cleaning Exterior surfaces:

Clean periodically with hot soapy water and clean cotton cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergent
(e.g. Comet Power Scruv., EZ-Off. oven cleaner), or steel wool/scoring pads, which will scratch and damage
the stainless steel surface.

For heavier soil use liquid degrease such as “Forumla 409.” or “Fantastic.” brand cleaner.

After cleaning, you may use non abrasive stainless steel polish/cleaner such as 3M. or ZEP., to polish and
buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain.

Cleaning Aluminum Grease Filter / Stainless Steel Filterless Grill:

The metal filters fitted by the factory are intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking. It need not
be replaced on a regular basis but are required to be kept clean.

Filters should be cleaned after every 30 hours of use.

Remove and clean by hand or dishwasher. Spray “Formula 409.” or equivalent degreasing detergent and
leave to soak if heavily soiled. Dry filters and re-install before using hood.

Replacing the light bulb

Make sure the lights are cool to touch, carefully align the arrow on the inner ring with the arrow on the outer ring where it says OPEN. The inner ring will loosen and the light bulb will be available for removal. Install a new halogen light bulb and reverse the steps.

Troubleshooting

1. If the range hood does not operate after installation:

- Check if the range hood has been plugged in, make sure that all power has been turned back on and all electrical wiring are properly connected.

- Swap out light assembly to working ones to determine whether it is caused by defective bulbs.

2. The range hood vibrates when the blower is on:

- The range hood might not have been secured properly on to the ceiling.

3. The blowers seems weak:

- Check that the duct sized used is at least 6". Range hood WILL NOT function efficiently with insufficient duct size. For example: 7" duct over 6" hole and loosely secured.

- Check if duct is clogged or if damper unit is not opening properly. A tight mesh on a side wall cap unit might also cause restriction to the air flow.

4. The lights work but the blower is not spinning at all, is stuck or is rattling:

- The blower might be jammed or scraping the bottom due to shipping damage.

5. The hood is not venting out properly:

- Make sure the distance between the cook top and the bottom of the hood is within 28" and 31" in range.

- Reduce the number of elbows and length of duct work. Check if all joints are properly connected, sealed, and taped.

- Make sure the power is on high speed for heavy cooking.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, observe the following: Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock switch power off at service panel and lock service panel to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot blocked, securely fasten prominent warning device such as a tag to the service panel.

CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire: Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spill overs that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods.

Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

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