USE AND CARE

OPERATION

For best results, always turn on your hood before you begin
cooking. Let hood run for a few minutes after you turn off range to
allow hood to clear the air in the kitchen.

SPEED CONTROL

The speed control allows unlimited selection of blower speeds and
sound levels. The control turns the blower on to high speed and
dials down to low speeds.
HEAT SENTRY ™
Your hood is equipped with a Heat Sentry™ thermostat. This ther-
mostat is a device that will turn or speed up the blower if it senses
excess heat above the cooking surface.
If blower is not on, or if it is running at low speed, the Heat Sentry™ will
override the normal blower control and turn blower on to high speed.
The blower will run until temperatures drop to normal levels. The
blower will then return to its original setting.
LIGHT
The light switch is located just to the left of the speed control.
CLEANING
ALWAYS DISCONNECT ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO
HOOD BEFORE CLEANING.
Clean hood with a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces. DO
NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTH, STEEL WOOL PADS OR SCOUR-
ING POWDERS.
To clean blower, remove filter and vacuum blower. Blower motor is
lifetime lubricated and never needs oiling. Do not immerse blower
in water.
FILTER
The aluminum filter in your hood should be cleaned frequently with
detergent to avoid grease buildup. The filter is dishwasher safe. To
remove filter, rotate retaining clips on either side of filter opening
out of the way and pull filter out of hood. When replacing filter, make
sure pull tabs on filter are toward the bottom and to the back of hood.
HOW TO AVOID A COMMON RANGE-TOP GREASE FIRE
Your range hood provides a protective barrier between the
cooking surface and the cabinets.
Keep fan, filters and grease laden surfaces CLEAN according
to instructions.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat to keep the
cooking area and the hood cooler.
Use high heat settings only when necessary.
Never leave cooking surface unattended. Boil-over causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Always use adequate-sized utensils.
If preparing flaming foods, such as Cherries Jubilee, always
turn hood ON to HIGH to prevent a high heat situation which
can cause damage or fire.
HOW TO EXTINGUISH A COMMON RANGE-TOP GREASE
FIRE
Never pick up a flaming pan. If dropped, flames can spread
quickly.
DO NOT USE WATER! A violent steam explosion may result.
Wet dishcloths or towels are also dangerous.
Smother flames with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal
tray.
Flaming grease can also be extinguished with baking soda
or a multi-purpose dry chemical extinguisher.
Turn off surface units - if you can do so without getting burned.
CAUTION
SERVICE
ALWAYS DISCONNECT ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO
HOOD BEFORE SERVICING.
Refer to page 4 for wiring diagram.
Your hood uses an F20T12 fluorescent tube, available at most
hardware stores or home centers.
If tube flickers or does not light, check the prongs on ends of tube to
make sure that they are properly seated in tube holders. Slide prongs
into holders and rotate tube so that holders grip prongs and hold tube
in place. If tube continues to flicker or does not light, replace tube.
If ends of tube light but center does not, the starter may be defec-
tive. Your hood uses an FS-2 starter, located on underside of control
unit. Remove old starter by pushing it in and turning it clockwise.
Purchase a new starter at your local hardware store or home center,
and install it by pushing it in and turning clockwise.
If tube still does not light, order a 97007428 Ballast Transformer Kit
from your Broan Distributor or from the Broan Service Department.
Write Broan Mfg. Co., Inc., P. O. Box 140, Hartford, WI 53027.
