and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Heat oils slowly on low or medium
settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking on
high heat or when flambéing foods.
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on
fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use
cookware appropriate for the size of the
surface element.

OPERATINGTHEHOOD
Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the
effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be
prevented when possible.
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.
The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done where
the only air currents are those created by the blower
itself.

HOODCONTROLBUTTONS
OFF
HEAT SENSOR
Pressing button once turns ventilator off and resets
control.
Your hood is equipped with a heat sensor that will
turn the blower to Low speed if excessive heat occurs
above the cooking surfaces.
FAN SPEED
Pressing button once, from an off state, turns the
ventilator on low. Each successive press of the button
increases the fan speed until high where the fan
cycles back to the low speed.
1. If the blower is off – it turns the blower on to low
speed.
2. If the blower is already on any speed selection,
no speed change will occur.
•
The LEDs above this button indicate the current
fan speed. When the fan is on, the corresponding
LED is illuminated.
1 – Low
When the temperature level on the hood drops to
normal, the blower will return to its original setting.
2 – Medium
3 – High
Over Temperature Condition - The high
temperature sensor protects the hood from high
temperatures which may damage components. The
control is set to activate at 161º F (72º C) and reset
at 140ºF (60º C). When activated, the ventilator will
turn on low and the corresponding LED will blink,
indicating an over temperature condition.
DELAY SHUT OFF
•
Press to turn fan on high for 10 minutes.
If the ventilator is off when the delay button is
pressed, the ventilator will turn on to the high speed
setting for 10 minutes. At the end of the cycle the
ventilator will turn off.
While the high temperature sensor is activated, the
blower speed can be 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 140ºF (60º C), a reset will
occur. During reset, the control will revert back to
the operational state prior to the high temperature
condition.
If the ventilator is on when the delay button is
pressed, the ventilator runs for 10 minutes at the
current speed then turns off.
•
During a timed period, the LED above the Delay
Shut Off button is illuminated.
To interrupt a timed period, press Fan Speed or
Off button.
•
High Temperature Fault Condition - The circuit
is equipped with an alarm indicating that the heat
sensor protection is not working, due to a damaged
sensor. In the case of this extreme condition, the
three speed indicator LEDs will start blinking. All the
controls will be operational except for the speed
indicators.
CLEAN FILTER REMINDER
After 40 hours of operation, the clean filter reminder
LED above this button will illuminate indicating that
the filters need to be cleaned. When this indicator
illuminates, clean the filters as instructed on page 6.
After cleaning, press this button for 3 seconds to
reset the 40-hour period and turn the LED off.
LIGHT On/Dim/Off
This button controls the halogen lighting. The first
press turns the lights on. A second press dims the
lights. A third press turns the lights off.
HEAT LAMP (for Wall Hoods Only)
The buttons marked “L” and “R” independently control
the left and right infrared heating lamps, turning the
lights on or off.

•
Do not allow any cleaning compounds to remain
in contact with stainless steel for extended
periods.
NOTE: DO NOT USE COOKTOPWHILE
HOOD IS DISASSEMBLED. GREASE
TROUGHS MUST BE IN PLACE BEFORE
INSTALLING THE ALUMINUM FILTERS.
To Clean Filters and Troughs
Your hood has removable aluminum filters, grease
troughs and side panels. They must be cleaned when
the filter light illuminates on the control panel or
whenever they collect the grease. When used over a
grill, wok or other high grease applications, more
frequent cleaning may be required.
To Remove Filters and Grease Troughs:
®
•
Turn the fan and lights off. Be sure filters are
cool and grease has congealed before removal.
•
Remove in the following order:
1. Filters - Start with center filters, push up, then

MAINTENANCE
LIGHTS
NOTE: Turn off the lights and fan. Allow the lights
to cool before handling. If new lights do not operate,
be sure lights are inserted correctly before calling
service.
Halogen Light Replacement
(for PH and PHI Model Wall and
Island Hoods)
•
Using a flat edge from a screwdriver or equivalent
tool, pry loose the lens cover as shown in Figure
5.
•
Remove the damaged light and replace with a
new 12 Volt, 20 Watt (maximum) halogen light
made for a G-4 base. Follow package directions
and do not touch new light with bare hands.
•
Reinstall the light and cover.
Figure 5
HEAT LAMP REPLACEMENT
(for PH Wall Hood Models Only)
•
Turn heat lamp counterclockwise to remove.
•
Replace lamp with either a PAR-38 175W heat
lamp or a PAR-40 250W heat lamp.
The PAR-38 175W heat lamp provides a tighter seal
within the enclosure and produces the same amount
of effective heat with lower energy consumption.
These lamps may not be readily available at local
retail outlets. The PAR-40 250W heat lamp is readily
available at local retail outlets.
To order PAR-38 175 heat lamps with a credit card,
phone:
• OpTechInc. 800-848-6624 or
