Broan BCSD Series, BCSD142SS Manual

OPERATION

Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking to establish an air flow in the kitchen.
Let the blower run for a few minutes to clear the air after you turn off the range. This will help keep the whole kitchen cleaner and fresher.
Operate the hood as follows:

	FAN SWITCH
I	Turns fan on to LOW speed.
	Turns fan OFF.
II	Turns fan on to HIGH speed.

	LIGHT SWITCH
I	Turns light on to LOW intensity.
	Turns light OFF.
II	Turns light on to HIGH intensity.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance of the unit.

MOTOR

The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings make excessive or unusual noise, replace the motor with the exact service motor. The fan blade should also be replaced.

GREASE FILTERS

The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm dishwashing detergent solution.
Grease filters are dishwasher safe.
Clean all-metal filters in the dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filters may occur if using phosphate detergents, or as a result of local water conditions - but this will not affect filter performance. This discoloration is not covered by the warranty. To minimize or prevent discoloration, hand wash filters using a mild detergent.

NON-DUCTED RECIRCULATION FILTERS

The non-ducted recirculation filters should be changed every 3 to 6 months. Replace more often if your cooking style generates extra grease, such as frying and wok cooking. Refer to installation instructions included with non-ducted recirculation filters.

FAN BLADE

The fan blade should be cleaned frequently. Use a clean cloth soaked with warm detergent solution.

STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING

Do:

• Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag soaked with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.
• Always clean in the direction of original polish lines.
• Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after cleaning. Wipe dry completely.
• You may also use a specialized household stainless steel cleaner.

Don't:

• Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
• Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
• Allow dirt to accumulate.
• Let plaster dust or any other construction residues reach the hood. During construction/ renovation, cover the range hood to make sure no dust sticks to the stainless steel surface.

Avoid when choosing a detergent:

• Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack stainless steel.
• Any products containing: chloride, fluoride, iodide, bromide will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.
• Any combustible products used for cleaning such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol, etc., are highly explosive and should never be used close to a range.

PAINTED FINISH CLEANING

Clean with warm water and mild detergent only. If discoloration occurs, use a finish polish such as automotive polish. (DO NOT use rough abrasive cleaner or porcelain cleaner.)

INSTALLATION

Recommended Tools and Accessories for Installation

• Measuring tape
• Phillips screwdriver no. 2
• Flat blade screwdriver (to open knockout holes)
• Drill, 1/8" drill bit and 1½" hole saw (to mark holes for ducting and cut electrical access hole)
• 7/64" drill bit (to drill holes for EZ1 brackets mounting screws)
• Wood shims (2) and wood screws (4) (required for standard installation to framed cabinet)
• Saw (to cut holes for ducted application)
• Sheet metal shears (ducted installation only, for duct adjustment)
• Pliers (ducted installation only, for duct adjustment)
• Metal foil duct tape (for ducted applications)
• Scissors (to cut metal foil duct tape)
• Pencil
• Wire stripper
• Strain relief, 1/2" diameter (to secure house wiring cable to the hood)

Install Ductwork

(Ducted Installations Only)
NOTE: Distances over 24" are at the installer and user discretion.

1. Determine whether hood will discharge vertically (3¼" x 10" or 7" round), or horizontally (3¼" x 10" only).
2. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outdoors.
3. Choose a straight, short duct run to allow the hood to perform most efficiently. Long duct runs, elbows and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible. When possible, use at least 2 foot straight runs before any turns. Larger ductwork may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.
4. Install wall cap or roof cap (sold separately). Connect metal ductwork to cap and work back towards the hood location. Use 2" metal foil duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

Prepare the Unit Location

NOTE: Before starting installation, read all the steps of these instructions.

Use the illustration above to identify your kitchen cabinet type.

This manual covers 2 kinds of installation: the standard (without EZ1 brackets) and the EZ1 one-person installation system (using included template and brackets). For the standard installation, see "Standard Installation without EZ1 Brackets".

EZ1 One-person installation system

EZ1 installation is designed for use with kitchen cabinets that have the same width designation as the range hood width. If the cabinet is greater than 1/2" wider than the range hood width, please use the standard installation method.

1. Use the proper template for vertical OR horizontal disharge (included) for placement of ductwork and electrical cutout in cabinet or wall. For a non-ducted installation, DO NOT cut a duct access hole, only cut the hole for electrical wiring. If replacing a hood and plan to use the existing duct and electrical, steps 2 to 5 may not be necessary. If so, skip to step 6.
2. Measure and mark the hood center line on cabinet bottom.
3. Align the center line on template with the hood center line marked on the bottom of the cabinet, placing the edge (where indicated) of the template against back wall. When using with framed cabinet for vertical exhaust installation, fold over rear edge of template equal to the depth of the cabinet frame at the wall (use graduations on template, C locations on template). Tape the template in place.
   NOTE: When facing the installation, A and B (on template) must be at right.
   
4. Drill a 1/8" dia. pilot hole for house wiring, at A location on template.
5. Use a sharp pencil or 1/8" drill bit to mark the locations for the appropriate duct access holes (16 locations for 7" round duct, or 4 corner locations for rectangular duct). Remove the template.
6. Draw the border for the exhaust ducting by linking its marks (16 for round duct and 4 for rectangular duct), then cut the opening in the cabinet bottom (vertical exhaust) or in the wall (horizontal exhaust). Drill the house wiring hole by using a 1½" hole saw centered with the pilot hole previously made in 4.
7. Install the proper installation brackets according to the type of cabinet (framed or frameless). See below.

FRAMED CABINET
Refer to the marking on the brackets to determine the correct installation side and orientation.

1. Mate the corresponding bracket to the cabinet side frame, while placing rear end of bracket against the wall. Use a pencil to mark 3 holes (there are 6 holes but only 3 are necessary).
   
2. Remove the bracket. Using a 7/64" drill bit, drill 3 holes where marked.
   
3. Assemble the bracket to the side frame using a Phillips screwdriver and 3 provided no. 8 x 5/8" wood screws. Repeat for the other side frame.
   

FRAMELESS CABINET
Refer to the marking on brackets to determine the correct installation side and orientation.

1. Align the corresponding bracket to the cabinet side, while placing rear end of bracket against the wall. Draw a line on the outer edge of the bracket (as shown).
   
2. Slide the bracket towards the center of cabinet and align the outside edge of the bracket with the marked line, keeping the rear end edge leaning on the wall.
   
3. Use a pencil to mark 3 holes.
