Frequently Asked Questions - Silhouette 153604 BROAN

How do I install the range hood?

Installation requires mounting under a cabinet with the included hardware. Ensure the hood is level and securely fastened. If ducting, connect to an 8-inch round duct. For recirculating use, install the optional charcoal filter kit (model S1104). Always follow the manual's safety instructions.

How often should I clean the filters?

Clean the aluminum mesh filters every month for normal usage. Remove them and wash with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Allow them to dry completely before reinstalling. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

What type of light bulbs does it use?

The hood uses two 20W halogen bulbs with a GU10 base. Twist the old bulbs counterclockwise to remove and replace with new ones. Always let the bulbs cool before handling.

Can I use this hood without ducting?

Yes, the Silhouette 153604 is convertible. You can operate it in recirculating mode by installing the optional recirculating kit (model S1104) which includes charcoal filters. Instructions are in the manual.

Why is my range hood noisy?

Noise can be due to loose parts, unbalanced fan, or duct obstructions. Ensure the hood is securely mounted and the fan blade is clean. Also check that the ductwork is properly sized and not blocked. Normal noise ranges from 1.5 to 6.5 sones.

How do I change the fan speed?

Use the rocker switch on the hood. There are three speed settings. Press the switch up for high speed, middle for medium, and down for low. The light has a separate switch.

What should I do if the hood is not venting properly?

Check that the filters are clean and the duct is not blocked. If recirculating, ensure charcoal filters are fresh (replace every 6 months). Also verify that the damper flap moves freely. If problem persists, consult a professional.

Is the range hood dishwasher safe?

The aluminum mesh filters are dishwasher safe. However, the main hood body and fan assembly are not. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid letting water enter the motor area.

What are the dimensions of this hood?

The hood is 36 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and the height is adjustable from 6 to 12 inches. The duct opening is 8 inches round. Always measure your space before installation.

Where can I find replacement parts or accessories?

Replacement filters, bulbs, and recirculating kits are available from Broan or authorized dealers. Use the model number 153604 when ordering. For further assistance, contact Broan customer service.

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

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

Controls

The hood is "OFF" when the drawer is pushed completely in.

LIGHT - The light will turn "ON" when the drawer is pulled out approximately 1/2 inch.

BLOWER - The blower will turn "ON" when the drawer is pulled out approximately 1-1/2 inches.

The blower speed is set using the slide control, located to the right of the drawer.

Heat Sentry™

Your hood is equipped with a Heat Sentry™ 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 Heat Sentry™ 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.

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 blower to clean. Do not immerse blower in water.

Wash the foam filter in a mild detergent solution.

The glass drawer assembly and light lens are easily removable for cleaning:

See Step 13 on page 3 for removal of glass drawer assembly. DO NOT clean in a dishwasher.

Remove the light lens by opening the filter panel (Step 6, page 3) and rotating the 2 metal clips holding the lens in place.

Light Bulb Replacement

Your hood uses a 24" long F20T12 fluorescent tube and an FS-2 starter, which are available at most hardware stores or home centers.

To check or replace tube: 1) Pull drawer out. 2) Rotate filter panel clips and lower filter panel.

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.

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.

If the tube still does not light, order a 99270651 Ballast Transformer available from your Broan distributor or from the Broan Service Department. Write Broan Mfg. Co., Inc., P.O. Box 140, Hartford, WI 53027.

USO Y MANTENIMIENTO

• 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.
