OPERATION

Soft-touch control panel

NOTES

1. Each time a key is pressed, a beep is emitted to acknowledge the command. To disable, when the fan and lights are OFF, press on the Lights key (3) for 5 seconds. To put it back, when the fan and lights are OFF, press again on the Lights key (3) for 5 seconds.
2. Each time a key is pressed, its backlight turns ON. When a function is turned OFF, so does the corresponding key backlight.

Master ON/OFF: Press this key to turn on the light and the fan at the last saved intensity. The backlights of the master ON/OFF key, fan key and light key are turned ON. When either light and fan are ON, pressing on this key will memorize the current fan speed and lighting level prior to shut them OFF.
Whenever there is an active function (light or fan is turned ON directly by pressing the fan or light key), the master ON/OFF backlight is turned ON. When the last active function is turned OFF (light or fan is turned OFF directly by pressing the fan or light key), the master ON/OFF backlight is also turned OFF.

Fan: When fan is OFF, a key press turns ON the fan to the last saved speed. If there was no speed saved, the fan will be set on LOW speed. To change the fan speed, press the key again until the desired speed is reached (from LOW, to MEDIUM-LOW, to MEDIUM-HIGH, to HIGH speed to OFF).
When the fan is ON (no matter the speed level), a long key press turns the fan OFF and the current fan speed setting is saved to memory.
Filter Cleaning Reminder: When the user turns the fan OFF, and the fan key backlight flashes slowly during 30 seconds, then this means it is time to clean the hood and filters (refer to Maintenance section). This will happen every time the user turns the fan OFF (and the timer has not been reset). Once the cleaning is done, at any time during the 30 second signal (and the fan is OFF), a long press on the fan key will reset the timer and stop the key backlight flashing.
Lights: Press this key to turn ON the lights to the last saved intensity. If there was no light intensity saved, the lights will be set on LOW intensity. To change the lights intensity, press the key again until the desired level is reached (from LOW, to MEDIUM, to HIGH intensity, to OFF).
When the lights are ON, a long press turns the lights OFF and the current light intensity is saved to memory. The next time the lights are turned ON (either with the light key or the master ON/OFF key), it does so at the last saved intensity.
Auto (SMART SENSE): When the fan is OFF, press this key to enable the Auto mode. When a cooking session is detected, this function will automatically start or adjust the fan speed according to the heat detected on the cooktop. The fan will automatically turn OFF when there is no longer sufficient heat detected on the cooktop.
When the hood is OFF and not in use for 3 minutes, the Auto key backlight will automatically turn OFF. Pressing any key will turn the backlight back ON. To disable the Auto mode, press for a long time the Auto key until the backlight turns OFF.
Manual fan speed adjustment in Auto mode:
When the Auto mode is operating, it is possible to manually change the fan speed using the fan key. The Auto key backlight will turn OFF to indicate that the Auto mode is on pause (until the fan has been manually turned OFF). When the heat is sufficiently low on the cooktop, the Auto mode function will automatically be re-enabled and its backlight will turn ON.
Auto Mode Characteristics
- The Auto Mode sensor measures the temperature related to cooking activity on the range or cooktop.
- When removing a pan or pot from a hot stove surface, the fan speed may increase. This is not unusual since the sensor detects a temperature increase.
- The fan may turn OFF when cooking at a very low temperature level, especially with induction units.
- The fan may turn OFF temporarily when adding cold or frozen items in the pan or pot. When the items heat up sufficiently, the fan will automatically turn back ON.
- When opening the door of a hot oven or when running a self-cleaning oven, the fan may start automatically.
- When starting to cook, there may be a short delay of the fan operation while the pot/pan heats up.
- After cooking is finished, it is normal for the fan to remain ON for a short period of time until the cooking surface/pot/pan cools down.
WiFi®/Bluetooth®: See next page.

HEAT SENTRY™
Your unit is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY™ thermostat.
This thermostat is a device that will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the cooking surface.

If blower is OFF – it turns blower ON to HIGH speed.
If blower is ON at a lower speed setting – it turns blower up to HIGH speed.
When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original setting.
NOTE: When Heat Sentry is activated, the fan key backlight flashes slowly and the fan speed cannot be changed.

WARNING
The HEAT SENTRY thermostat can start the blower even if the hood is turned OFF. When this occurs, it is impossible to turn the blower OFF with its switch. If you must stop the blower, set the main power switch (located behind the hybrid baffle filters, on inner side of the unit faceplate) in OFF position (if it is possible to do so safely). See inset in FIG. 32.
