Important Safety Information

Read all instructions before using.

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 the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
• Do not use this unit with any solid-state speed control device.
• This unit must be grounded.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your hood unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

CAUTION: FOR GENERAL VENTILATING USE ONLY. DO NOT USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS AND VAPORS.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:

• Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department.
• Never pick up a flaming pan—you may be burned.
• Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels—a violent steam explosion will result.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if: You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. The fire department is being called. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

*Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety" published by NFPA.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on medium settings.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (e.g., Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
• 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.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. NOTE: If surface is still not clean, see page 7 for more cleaning options.

NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. Do not use abrasive cleansers.

Filters

Be sure the circuit breaker is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.

Metal Grease Filter

The metal filter traps grease released by foods from cooking.

The filters must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is in use. The grease filters are dishwasher-safe and should be cleaned every 6 months, or as needed.

To remove:

Pull downward on the filter lock to release the filter.

To replace:

Fit the tabs at the bottom of the filter behind the ledge of the filter opening. Lift up the front side of the filter, push downward on the filter lock, and push gently until the filter is in place. Release the filter lock to secure the filter in place.

To clean:

Swish the filter in hot soapy water and rinse in clean water or wash it in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleansers.

NOTE: Some discoloration may occur in the dishwasher.

For Recirculation Installation Only

Charcoal Filter (Not Included)

If the model is not vented to the outside, the air needs to be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors.

NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filter in an automatic dishwasher.

The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. It is recommended that the charcoal filter be replaced every 6-12 months or if it is noticeably dirty or discolored.

Surfaces

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the brush line. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish, and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge.

To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, visit cafeappliances.com/parts.

Painted Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pads or other abrasive cleaners; they will scratch the surface.

Clean grease-laden surfaces of the hood frequently. To clean the hood surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces. About one tablespoon of ammonia may be added to the water. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

NOTE: When cleaning, take care not to come in contact with filters and other surfaces.

CAUTION: When cleaning the hood surfaces, be certain that you do not touch the light with moist hands or cloth. A warm or hot light may break if touched with a moist surface. Always let the light cool completely before cleaning around it.

Lights

CAUTION: Allow lights to cool before touching.

To change the lights:

1. Before attempting to replace the lights, make sure that the light switch is turned off.
2. Wear gloves. Do not touch the light with your bare fingers. Skin oils can cause early light failure. Wear clean gloves or use a paper towel to handle the light.
3. Using a flathead screwdriver, unclip the metal trim ring from the lighting support.
4. Remove the light by pulling towards the front of the hood. Replace it with a new G4 20W Clear Halogen Capsule light by inserting the two stakes into the holes and pushing towards the back of the hood to secure the light.
5. Reinsert the metal trim ring by lining up the two side holes on the lighting support with the two tabs on the trim ring, and push upward.
