Use and Care

Filter
For highest efficiency, the metal filter should be removed and cleaned once a month.
Soak the filter in hot water with a mild soap or detergent. Rinse thoroughly and repeat if necessary. The filter is also dishwasher safe. Heavy grease buildup may not be cleaned easily, therefore the filter may need to be replaced.
Light Bulb
This model requires 2 x 1W LED light bulbs, available from Euro-parts 1-866-722-2262.
Exterior surface
Do NOT use abrasive materials such as steel wool pads or scouring pads.
Wipe the rangehood exterior with a soft cloth and a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces.
Repairs or Replacement Parts
Warning! Disconnect the range hood from the electrical power supply before servicing.
All parts may be obtained from Euro-Parts 1-866-722-2262.
When ordering parts, please specify the range hood model number located on the rating label, which can be found on the inside of the range hood.

Trouble Shooting

When any problems occur, unplug the hood from the electrical outlet and contact Euro-Parts or an authorized servicer in order to avoid an accident.
Fan does not turn on (but light turns on).
This is probably due to either a defective fan switch or a burned-out fan motor. Use an OHM meter to determine which component is not working.
If the OHM meter reads that the fan switch has 0 x OHM of resistance, then it is the motor that needs to be replaced. If it reads anything other than zero, then the switch must be replaced.
Please contact Euro-Parts or an authorized servicer to fix this problem.
Light does not turn on (but fan turns on).
This could be because the bulb has burned out. Try replacing the light bulb. If the light still does not work, either the light switch or the lamp-holder socket could be defective. Both can be replaced without having to remove the range from the wall or cabinet.
Rangehood does not turn on.
Check for a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse.
Note: All work must be done by a qualified licensed technician.
