WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fan frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING\*:

1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. IF THE FLAMES DO NOT GO OUT IMMEDIATELY, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels — This could cause a violent steam explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you know how to operate it.

B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

C. The fire department has been called.

D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

* Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA.

CAUTION

• For indoor use only.
• For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
• To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced fan blade, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off range hood.
• Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
• For best capture of cooking fumes, the bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 18" and at a maximum of 24" above the cooking surface.
• Always follows the cooking equipment manufacturer's requirements regarding the ventilation needs.
• To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside — Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics, crawl space or garage.
• When installing, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.
• Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

Operation

Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking to establish an air flow in the kitchen. Let the blower run for a few minutes to clear the air after you turn off the range. This will help keep the whole kitchen cleaner and fresher.

Operate the hood as follows:

VBLSH1 SERIES

BLOWER SWITCH

Turns blower OFF.
I Turns blower on to LOW speed.
II Turns blower on to HIGH speed.

LIGHT SWITCH

• Turns light OFF.
  I Turns light on to LOW intensity.
  II Turns light on to HIGH intensity.

VBLDF1 SERIES

Simple diagram of a device with two panels, one showing a fan icon and the other displaying sun rays (no text or symbols)

BLOWER BUTTON

When blower is OFF, press this button to turn ON the blower at the last saved speed. If there was no speed saved, the blower will be set on LOW speed.

NOTE: When LOW speed is activated from OFF, the blower starts on MEDIUM speed for a very short lapse of time, and then resume to LOW speed.

To change the blower speed, press on this button again until the desired speed is reached (from LOW to MEDIUM to HIGH speed to OFF). Each time a blower speed is activated, a beep is heard and LED indicators light up to show the corresponding speed chosen (lower LED for LOW speed, lower and center LEDs for MEDIUM speed and all LEDs for HIGH speed).

When blower is on (no matter the speed level), press and hold this button until the beep sound ends; this will turn off the blower and save this blower speed to memory.

LIGHT BUTTON

When lights are OFF, press once on this button to turn ON the lights at the last saved setting. If there was no light setting saved, the lights will be set on LOW intensity. Press another time to set the lights on HIGH intensity. Pressing another time after the HIGH setting will turn OFF the lights. Each time the lights are turned ON, a beep is heard and LED indicators light up to show the corresponding intensity chosen (lower LED for LOW and both LEDs for HIGH).

When lights are on (no matter the lighting level), press and hold this button until the beep sound ends; this will turn off the lights and save the chosen light intensity.

The LED modules included with this hood are the latest in LED cooktop illumination technology specially designed to operate in the elevated temperatures of cooking - offering bright lighting and lasting up to 25 times as long as a standard bulb and greater reliability than typical replacement LED bulbs.

FILTER CLEANING REMINDER

When it is time to clean the hood and filters (refer to Cleaning and Maintenance on page 6), the 3 blower button LED indicators will flash slowly for 30 seconds after turning the blower OFF. This will happen every time the blower is turned OFF until the filter cleaning reminder has been reset. Once the cleaning is done, reset the filter cleaning reminder indicators by pressing on blower button for 3 seconds during the 30 seconds the 3 blower button LED indicators flash slowly.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper maintenance of the Range Hood will assure proper performance of the unit.

MOTOR

The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the motor bearings make excessive or unusual noise, replace the motor with the exact service motor. The fan blade should also be replaced.

GREASE FILTERS

The grease filters should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm dishwashing detergent solution. Clean all-metal filters using a non-phosphate detergent. Discoloration of the filters 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.

NON-DUCTED RECIRCULATION FILTERS

The non-ducted recirculation filters should be changed every 3 to 6 months. Replace more often if your cooking style generates extra grease, such as frying and wok cooking. Refer to installation instructions included with non-ducted recirculation filters.

FAN BLADE

The fan blade should be cleaned frequently. Use a clean cloth soaked with warm detergent solution.

STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING

Do:

• Regularly wash with clean cloth or rag soaked with warm water and mild soap or liquid dish detergent.
  • Always clean in the direction of original polish lines.
  • Always rinse well with clear water (2 or 3 times) after cleaning. Wipe dry completely.
• You may also use a specialized household stainless steel cleaner.

Don't:

• Use any steel or stainless steel wool or any other scrapers to remove stubborn dirt.
• Use any harsh or abrasive cleansers.
• Allow dirt to accumulate.
• Let plaster dust or any other construction residues reach the hood. During construction/renovation, cover the range hood to make sure no dust sticks to the stainless steel surface.

Avoid when choosing a detergent:

• Any cleaners that contain bleach will attack stainless steel.
• Any products containing: chloride, fluoride, iodide, bromide will deteriorate surfaces rapidly.
• Any combustible products used for cleaning such as acetone, alcohol, ether, benzol, etc., are highly explosive and should never be used close to a range.

PAINTED FINISH CLEANING:

Clean with warm water and mild detergent only. If discoloration occurs, use a finish polish such as automotive polish. (DO NOT use rough abrasive cleaner or porcelain cleaner.)

Install Ductwork (Ducted Installations Only)

ROOF CAP 3¼" x 10" OR 7" ROUND DUCT (FOR VERTICAL DISCHARGE) SOFFIT CABINET HOUSE WIRING (TOP OR BACK OF HOOD) WALL CAP HOOD 3¼" x 10" DUCT (FOR HORIZONTAL DISCHARGE) 18" MIN - 24" MAX ABOVE COOKING SURFACE

NOTE: Distances over 24" are at the installer and user discretion.

1] Determine whether hood will discharge vertically (3¼" x 10" or 7" round), or horizontally (3¼" x 10" only).

2] Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outdoors.

3] Choose a straight, short duct run to allow the hood to perform most efficiently. Long duct runs, elbows and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible. When possible, use at least 2-foot straight runs before any turns. Larger ductwork may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.

NOTE: To use 6" round ducting, install a 3¼" x 10" to 6" round transition (not included). The performances may be affected.

4] Install wall cap or roof cap (sold separately); ensure there is no leak in house insulation. Connect metal ductwork to cap and work back towards the hood location. Use 2" metal foil duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

REPLACEMENT PARTS AND REPAIRS

In order to ensure your unit remains in good working condition, you must use Venmar Ventilation ULC genuine replacement parts only. The Venmar Ventilation ULC genuine replacement parts are specially designed for each unit and are manufactured to comply with all the applicable certification standards and maintain a high standard of safety. Any third party replacement part used may cause serious damage and drastically reduce the performance level of your unit, which will result in premature failing. Venmar Ventilation ULC recommends to contact a certified service depot for all replacement parts and repairs.

Limited Warranty

Warranty Period and Exclusions: Venmar Ventilation ULC (the "Company") warrants to the original consumer purchaser of its product ("you") that the product (the "Product") will be free from material defects in the Product or its workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law). For Range Hood Product that includes built-in LED modules, the Company warrants the LED modules and driver to be free from material defects for a period of three (3) years from the date of purchase. The limited warranty period for any replacement parts provided by the Company and for any Products repaired or replaced under this limited warranty shall be the remainder of the original warranty period (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law).

This warranty does not cover fluorescent lamp starters, tubes, halogen and incandescent bulbs, fuses, filters, ducts, roof caps, wall caps and other accessories for ducting that may be purchased separately and installed with the Product. This warranty also does not cover (a) normal maintenance and service, (b) normal wear and tear, (c) any Products or parts which have been subject to misuse, abuse, abnormal usage, negligence, accident, improper or insufficient maintenance, storage or repair (other than repair by the Company), (d) damage caused by faulty installation, or installation or use contrary to recommendations or instructions, (e) any Product that has been moved from its original point of installation, (f) damage caused by environmental or natural elements, (g) damage in transit, (h) natural wear of finish, (i) Products in commercial or nonresidential use, or (j) damage caused by fire, flood or other act of God or (k) Products with altered, defaced or removed serial numbers. This warranty covers only Products sold to original consumers in Canada by the Company or its Canadian distributors authorized by the Company.

This warranty supersedes all prior warranties and, subject to applicable law, is not transferable from the original consumer purchaser.

No Other Warranties: This Limited Warranty contains the Company's sole obligation and your sole remedy for defective products. The foregoing warranties are exclusive and in lieu of any other warranties and conditions, express or implied. THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, AND DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. To the extent that applicable law prohibits the exclusion of implied warranties or conditions, the duration of any applicable implied warranty or condition is limited to the period specified for the express warranty above. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Any oral or written description of the Product is for the sole purpose of identifying it and shall not be construed as an express warranty.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Limited Warranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision is held to be prohibited or invalid, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the other remaining provisions of the Limited Warranty.

Remedy: During the applicable limited warranty period, the Company will, at its option, provide replacement parts for, or repair or replace, without charge, any Product or part thereof, to the extent the Company finds it to be covered by and in breach of this limited warranty under normal use and service. The Company will ship the repaired or replaced Product or replacement parts to you at no charge. You are responsible for all costs for removal, reinstallation and shipping, insurance or other freight charges incurred in the shipment of the Product or part to the Company. If you must send the Product or part to the Company, as instructed by the Company, you must properly pack the Product or part—the Company is not responsible for damage in transit. The Company reserves the right to utilize reconditioned, refurbished, repaired or remanufactured Products or parts in the warranty repair or replacement process. Such Products and parts will be comparable in function and performance to an original Product or part and warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period (or such longer period as may be required by applicable law).

Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refund the money actually paid by you for the Product in lieu of repair or replacement. If the Product or component is no longer available, replacement may be made with a similar product of equal or greater value, at Company's sole discretion. This is your sole and exclusive remedy for breach of this limited warranty.

Exclusion of Damages: THE COMPANY'S OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS, OR REPAIR, REPLACE OR REFUND, AT THE COMPANY'S OPTION, SHALL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND THE COMPANY'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE OBLIGATION. THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCT, ITS USE OR PERFORMANCE. Incidental damages include but are not limited to such damages as loss of time and loss of use. Consequential damages include but are not limited to the cost of repairing or replacing other property which was damaged if the Product does not work properly.

THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU, OR TO ANYONE CLAIMING UNDER YOU, FOR ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT OR WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR ANY THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT OR THE COMPANY'S ACTS OR OMISSIONS OR OTHERWISE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under this warranty will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

This warranty covers only replacement or repair of defective Products or parts thereof at the Company's main facility and does not include the cost of field service travel and living expenses.

Any assistance the Company provides to or procures for you outside the terms, limitations or exclusions of this limited warranty will not constitute a waiver of such terms, limitations or exclusions, nor will such assistance extend or revive the warranty. The Company will not reimburse you for any expenses incurred by you in repairing or replacing any defective Product, except for those incurred with the Company's prior written permission.

How to Obtain Warranty Service: To qualify for warranty service, you must (a) notify the Company at the address or telephone number stated below within seven (7) days of discovering the covered defect, (b) give the model number and part identification and (c) describe the nature of any defect in the Product or part. At the time of requesting warranty service, you must present evidence of the original purchase date. If you cannot provide a copy of the original written limited warranty, then the terms of the Company's most current written limited warranty for your particular product will control. The most current limited written warranties for the Company's products can be found at www.venmar.ca.
