Automatic Heat Sensor  
Your hood is equipped with an automatic thermostat.  
This thermostat is a device that will turn on or speed  
up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the  
cooking surface.  
If your blower is not on, or if it is running at low speed,  
the thermostat will sense excessive cooking heat,  
override the normal blower control and turn the blower  
on to high speed. The blower will run until the  
temperature drops to normal operating level. The blower  
will then automatically return to its original setting.  
CARE AND CLEANING  
WARNING: ALWAYS DISCONNECT ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING HOOD.  
Use a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces.  
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLOTH, STEEL WOOL  
PADS, OR SCOURING POWDERS. Vacuum the  
blower to clean it. Do not immerse the blower in water.  
The glass visor assembly and light lens are easily  
removable for cleaning:  
DO NOT clean in a dishwasher.  
Remove the light lens by opening the filter panel and  
turning the 2 metal clips holding the lens in place.

Light Bulb Replacement  
Stainless Steel (on some models)  
This hood uses an F20T12 fluorescent tube and an  
FS-2 starter, which are available at most hardware  
stores or home centers.  
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the  
surface.  
To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy  
water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always  
wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow  
the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel  
surface.  
If the tube flickers or does not light, check the prongs  
on the ends of the tube to make sure they are properly  
seated in the tube holders.  
If the tube continues to flicker or does not light,  
replace the tube. Slide the tube into the holders and  
rotate the tube so that the prongs in the holders grip  
the tube and hold it in place.  
To inquire about purchasing stainless steel appliance  
cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer  
nearest you, please call our toll-free number:  
If the ends of the tube light but the center does not,  
the starter may require replacement. The starter is  
located behind the filter panel on the right hand side.  
Install the new starter by pushing the starter in and  
turning it clockwise.
