OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - Hoods
See Care and Use Manual of Downdraft.
The ventilator should be turned on 5 minutes before cooking in order to draw the currents of air toward the hood.
That way when heat, smoke, moisture, grease and cooking odors arise, they will be carried toward the hood and
forced outside, thereby minimizing their drift into other rooms.
Drafts across the cooking surface from an open window, door etc., may cause the escape of heat, moisture, grease
and cooking odors from the hood. Such drafts should be prevented whenever possible.
The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done when the only air currents are those created by the ventilator itself.
CLEANINGINSTRUCTIONS
For maximum efficiency, clean filter and hood regularly. Do not allow grease to accumulate on the hood or the
ventilator surface.
1. To Clean the Filter- Remove the filter by applying slight thumb pressure on the sides of the clips, and pulling
the filter out by the top of the filter frame. Filter may be washed in the dishwasher or washed in warm soapy
water, drain and dry before installing.
2. To Clean Hood Surface- Use only mild soap or detergent for cleaning all hood surfaces. Dry surfaces with a
cloth for maximum luster.
Enamel Surface- Use only mild soap or detergent for cleaning all hood surfaces. Dry surface with clean cloth for
maximum luster.
Stainless Steel Surface-The stainless steel used in the manufacture ofthese hoods is resista ntto most stains and
surface rust when cleaned and protected with a stainless steel cleaner/polish. Apply this type of product regularly
according to manufacturer's directions to maintain appearance and protect the finish from surface damage.
Filter Cleaning- Pullopen the housing door and remove the filters. Filters may be washed in hot sudsy water, or
sprayed with a household kitchen cleaner (such as Fantastik_), then rinsed with hot water, or washed in the
dishwasher. Replace after they are dry.

Remove two (2) shipping screws from base of each lamp shade.

Install two (2) 75 Watt (maximum) flood lamps. For best results, use reflector flood (not supplied with hood) into
lamp shade sockets.
ON H65 ONLY
Install two (2) 250 Watt (maximum) infrared heat lamps, using type R-40 (not supplied with hood), into angled
sockets only.
CAUTION
Do not use scouring powders or abrasive cleaners on the hood as these
may permanently mar the finish. Do not use oven cleaners to clean the
stainless steel hood even if recommended by the manufacturer of the
cleaner.
