Always turn ON your hood before you begin cooking in order 

to establish an air fl ow 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 brighter.

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. The light 

indicator over speed 3 switch will quickly fl ash.
1) If blower is OFF - it turns blower ON to speed 3.
2) If blower is ON at a lower (or higher) speed setting - it turns 

  blower to speed 3.
When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will 

return to its original setting and the light indicator over speed 3 

switch will stop fl ashing.

This switch provides 3 different lighting levels, according to 

your needs. The lighting intensity changes by increments of 1 

(i.e.: press once for low intensity, once again to get more, up 

to three times). From the higher intensity, press once again to 

shut off the lights.

GU10 base, shielded halogen bulbs (included).

Delay OFF switch
When a speed is selected, press the Delay OFF switch to 

activate the delay function. The corresponding speed indicator 

LED will start fl ashing to indicate this function is activated. 

The fan will continue to operate for 5 minutes and will stop 

automatically. To cancel the delay function, press the Delay 

OFF switch once again; the blower will then work in normal 

mode.
