BROAN BBN2243SS (01) PDF Document

Your BROAN BBN2243SS range hood uses a push-button control system for the blower.

ON/OFF Blower Push Button: When the blower is OFF, push this button to turn ON the blower at the last selected speed. Push this button again to turn OFF the blower.

NOTE: If there is no speed selected (all blower speed push buttons are up), the blower will not turn ON. In that case, press on the desired speed level push button to activate the blower.

Blower Speed Level Push Buttons: When the blower is ON, you can change the blower speed by pressing the push button corresponding to the desired speed:

• One line for LOW speed

• Two lines for MEDIUM speed

• Three lines for HIGH speed

To operate the lights on your BROAN BBN2243SS, use the ON/OFF Light Push Button.

When the lights are OFF, push once on this button to turn ON the lights. Push this button again to turn OFF the lights.

Your BROAN BBN2243SS unit is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY™ thermostat. This device will turn on or speed up the blower if it senses excessive heat above the cooking surface.

1) If the blower is OFF – it turns the blower ON to HIGH speed.

2) If the blower is ON at a lower speed setting – it turns the blower up to HIGH speed.

When the temperature level drops to normal, the blower will return to its original setting.

The HEAT SENTRY thermostat can start the blower even if the hood is turned OFF. When this occurs, it is impossible to turn the blower OFF with its switch. If you must stop the blower, set the main power switch (located behind the filters, on the inner side of the unit faceplate) to the OFF position, if it is possible to do so safely.

The grease filters on your BROAN BBN2243SS should be cleaned frequently. Use a warm dishwashing detergent solution. The grease filters are dishwasher safe.

Clean the filters in the dishwasher 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. To minimize or prevent discoloration, hand wash the filters using a mild detergent.

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.

Do:

• Regularly wash with a 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 unit. During construction/renovation, cover the unit 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.

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 – a violent steam explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

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

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

C. The fire department is being called.

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

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 the hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter.

D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
