Operating The Hood - Thermador PROFESSIONAL HPCN36NS Use And Care Manual

Heat Sensor Protection
Over Temperature Condition
The high temperature sensor protects the hood from high
temperatures which may damage components. The control
is set to activate at 161°F (72°C) and reset at 140°F (60°C).
When activated, the blower will turn on low and the
corresponding LED will blink, indicating an over-
temperature condition.
While the high temperature sensor is activated, the blower
speed can be manually changed or turned off. If the blower
is turned off, the corresponding LED will blink. Light
controls will remain operational. When the control sensor
reaches 140°F (60°C), a reset will occur. During reset, the
control will revert back to the operational state prior to the
high temperature condition.
High Temperature Fault Condition
If in the uncommon occurrence the Heat Sensor Protection
becomes damaged, the three fan speed indicator LEDs will
start blinking. All of the controls will continue to be
operational except for the indicator LEDs. To reach a
service representative, see the contact information at the
back page of the manual.

Operating the Hood

For Better Results
• The blower should be turned on for about 5 minutes
before cooking in order to establish air currents upward
through the hood. Thus when heat, smoke, moisture,
grease and cooking odors are produced, they will be
carried outside instead of drifting into other rooms.
• Use the low speeds for normal use and the higher
speeds for strong odors or fumes.
• Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the
effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be
prevented when possible.
• The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where
the only air currents are those created by the blower
itself.
• Continuous use of the fan system while cooking helps
keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid.
• Use a rear burner when browning or pan frying meat.
