DUCTING

A minimum of 6" round duct must be used to maintain maximum air flow efficiency.

Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%.

Use calculation worksheet to compute total duct work (Page 5).

ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number of transitions and turns. If a long duct run is required, increase duct size from 6" to 7" or 8".

If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from duct opening and as far apart between the two transitions as possible.

Minimum mount height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 24".

Maximum mount height should be no higher than 34".

It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will lose its performance and efficiency.

If available, also refer to range manufacturer's height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting height above range. Always check your local codes for any differences.

Duct cover extension kit available for ceiling heights up to 12 feet. Turn to page 19 for part number and ordering information.

DAMAGE-SHIPMENT / INSTALLATION:

• Please fully inspect unit for damage before installation.
• If the unit is damaged in shipment, return the unit to the store in which it was bought for repair or replacement.
• If the unit is damaged by the customer, repair or replacement is the responsibility of the customer.
• If the unit is damaged by the installer (if other than the customer), repair of replacement must be made by arrangement between customer and installer.

WARNING FIRE HAZARD

NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside, unless using the recirculating option.

Ductless recirculation is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be installed. When converted, the hood functions as a recirculating hood rather than an exhaust hood. Fumes and exhaust from cooking are drawn and filtered by a set of optional charcoal filters. The air is then purified and re-circulated back within the home.

We recommend to ALWAYS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing new duct work, if possible. The hood is most effective and efficient as an exhaust hood. Only when the exhaust option is not possible should you recourse to converting the hood into a recirculating hood.

When converted to be a recirculating hood, a set of charcoal filters are required on top of its standard Metal Filter set. Order according to its Part number below. The standard Metal Filters are intended to capture residue from cooking and the optional charcoal filters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking for re-circulation.

RECIRCULATING KIT (REQUIRED IF NO DUCTING IS USED)

Kit includes charcoal filters, charcoal filter brackets and air diverter plate.

Hood Model Part No. Filters in Pkg. BML BRC-0007 2

1. Purchase recirculating kit per the part number above
2. Secure air diverter plate to top support frame. (FIG. H) Run 6" ducting from top of hood and secure to air diverter plate.
3. Remove mesh filters from hood. Secure the charcoal filters to the back side of the mesh filters with (4) holding clips. (FIG. H)
4. Re-install mesh filters.
5. Charcoal filters must be replaced after every 120 hours of use (or approximately every 3 to 4 months based on the average of 1 - 2 hrs. of daily cooking time).
   Note: Refer to manual included with recirculating kit for more detailed installation instructions.

• Delay Off Feature: With the fan on, press and hold the On/Off button for three seconds. The fan will change to speed 1 and automatically turn off after 5 minutes.
• ACT Feature: ACT allows the installer to set the maximum fan CFM to align with local codes and regulations.

To verify the maximum fan CFM:

With hood off, press and hold the power button for five seconds. If all three fan speed indicators illuminate = default maximum CFM. If two speed level indicators illuminate = 390 maximum CFM. If only one speed level indicator illuminates = 290 maximum CFM.

2 Lights

Lights are two levels, low and high. From off, press once for low, press again for high, press again to power lights off.

3 Fan Speeds

Fan is three speed levels. From off, press once for low, press again for medium, press again for high, press again to power fan off.

SURFACE MAINTENANCE:

Do not use corrosive detergents, abrasive detergents or oven cleaners.

Do not use any product containing chlorine bleach or any product containing chloride.

Do not use steel wool or abrasive scrubbing pads which will scratch and damage surface.

Cleaning Stainless Steel

Clean periodically with warm soapy water and clean cotton cloth or micro fiber cloth. Always rub in the direction of the stainless steel grain. To remove heavier grease build up use a liquid degreaser detergent.

After cleaning use a non-abrasive stainless steel polish/cleaners, to polish and buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth or micro fiber cloth and buff in the direction of the stainless steel grain.

Aluminum Mesh Filters

The aluminum mesh filters installed by the factory are intended to filter out residue and grease from cooking. They need not be replaced on a regular basis but are required to be kept clean.

Remove and clean by hand or in dishwasher using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filter 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. Spray degreasing detergent and leave to soak if heavily soiled.

Dry filters and re-install before using hood.

AIRFLOW CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (ACT)

Some local codes limit the maximum amount of CFM a range hood can move. ACT allows you to control the maximum blower CFM of the range hood without the need for expensive make up air kits. ACT enables the installer to easily set the maximum blower speed to one of two most commonly specified CFM levels; 390 or 290 CFM. The usage of ACT may not be necessary for your installation. Please check your local codes for CFM restrictions.

By default the maximum blower CFM is set to 600.

CAUTION:

Hood must be disconnected from main power prior to performing the conversion instructions listed below. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or damage to the product.

To enable ACT

1. Before hood installation, gain access to PC board by following the steps shown in FIG. C.
2. Change plastic jumper positioning as shown in FIG. D to set the desired maximum blower CFM.
3. Re-install PC board & continue with hood installation.
4. Remove the appropriate foil CFM sticker included with the hood literature and place inside the hood body below the wiring diagram or in another clearly visible location.

NOTE: After re-positioning the jumper and powering on the hood, the CFM cannot be changed again.

To verify if your installer enabled ACT

With hood off, press and hold the power button for five seconds. If 3 LEDs illuminate = default max. CFM, if 2 LEDs illuminate = max. 390 CFM, and if 1 LEDs illuminate = max. 290 CFM.

When ACT is enabled, the number of blower speeds will be reduced. 390 CFM = max. 2 speeds and 290 CFM = max. 1 speeds.

There should also be a foil label located inside the hood body near the wiring diagram that indicates the blower CFM.

- PC Board is located behind light panel. - Remove filters and light panel. - Remove 2 screws attaching control board assembly.
