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. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).

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

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

Observe the following:

a) 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.

b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.

c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

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

3) The fire department is being called.

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

a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

b) Unplug or disconnect this appliance from the power supply before servicing.

For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

Begin by ensuring proper installation and grounding of the hood by a qualified installer. Have the installer show you where the fuse or junction box is located so that you know how and where to turn off power.

Always be certain that nothing will interfere with the vent intake.

Use the vent system for its intended purpose only as outlined in this manual.

Clean the filters and all grease-laden surfaces often to prevent grease fires and maintain performance.

If the cooktop and hood are near a window, use an appropriate window treatment. Avoid long drapes or other window coverings that could blow over the cooktop and hood, resulting in a fire hazard.

Always run the blower whenever a cooktop is operating.

Never operate the hood without the filters in place.

Do not operate the blower if a flame or flare-up develops. In the event of a flame, immediately turn off the blower. Smother the flame or use an appropriate class dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Never leave the appliance unattended when using high heat settings. Boil-overs and greasy spills may smoke and/or ignite.

Do not repair or replace any part of the vent system unless specifically recommended in literature accompanying this appliance. All service should be referred to a qualified technician.

Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result. Also, avoid using wet potholders, sponges or clothes, as steam burn may occur.

Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area where the cooktop and vent are in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on an appliance. Do not let children play with a cooktop or vent.

Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the cooktop or vent, as they could climb on the appliance to reach items and be injured.

The hood has two knobs that control the function of the hood’s halogen lights and exhaust blower.

Turning the knobs clockwise will turn on the lights and the blower. The blower has a variable speed range between settings.

1 Activate the blower a few minutes before starting to cook to establish an airflow pattern in the room.

2 Adjust the fan speed according to the volume and weight of the cooking exhaust.

3 Always activate the blower whenever using the cooking appliance.

4 Eliminate air currents in the hood vicinity by shutting nearby windows and doors, turning off ceiling fans and closing adjacent heating and air conditioning outlets.

5 Place your largest pans, skillets and stock pots on the rear burners whenever possible.

Do not operate the vent system without the filters in place or with dirty, grease-laden filters.

1 Do not operate the blower at a speed that is higher than necessary to remove the cooking exhaust. Running at excessive speeds removes more air from the inside of the house that must be replaced by outside air. This may be especially costly when the housing air conditioning or heating system is in operation.

2 Clean filters and grease-laden surfaces often to improve efficiency.

3 Turn off the blower as soon as all cooking smoke and odors have been eliminated.

4 Always use lids on cookware to retain heat and moisture.

5 Minimize the amount of liquid used to cook food.

6 Select cookware of the proper size, material and construction for the cooking task being performed.

Proper cleaning is necessary to maintain vent performance and appearance, while also ensuring safe operation. The frequency of cleaning should be adjusted according to the type and amount of cooking. Best results will be achieved by cleaning soiled components as soon as possible. Filters must be cleaned regularly.

Remove one filter at a time, grasp the filter handle and gently push back and pull the front down.

The filters may be cleaned by hand washing in hot water with a mild detergent solution or by placing them in an automatic dishwasher. Dry the filters completely before using them again.

After cleaning, reinstall the filters carefully.

Stainless steel should be cleaned with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.

Follow manufacturer’s instructions for application of polish.

Always wipe stainless steel surfaces with the grain. Never wipe across the grain.

If commercially available stainless steel cleaners are used, it is important to read the labels for chlorine compounds. Chlorine is a corrosive substance. If these compounds are present, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.

The suction cup, part number 5304448673, supplied with the hood, is designed to assist in the removal and replacement of the halogen light bulbs, should they burn out.

To remove a bulb, simply press the suction cup onto the face of the bulb and unscrew in a counter-clockwise direction (as you are facing the bulb).

To install the new bulb, start the new bulb in the socket in a clockwise direction by turning a few times by hand, then attach the suction cup to the face of the bulb and complete the installation.

Keep the suction cup in a safe place for future maintenance.

For replacement lamps, contact Electrolux at 1-877-435-3287 and order part number 5304448674.

No maintenance, other than the CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS identified in this Use & Care Manual, should be attempted by the owner/operator.

All other maintenance and service must be performed by a qualified appliance technician.
