GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When properly cared for, your Hestan ventilation liner has been designed to be a safe, reliable

ventilation system. Read all instructions carefully before using this ventilation system. When using

kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO

PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Use this ventilation system only as intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions,

contact the manufacturer.

b) Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service

disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service

disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a

tag, to the service panel.

FOR GENERAL VENTILATING USE ONLY. DO NOT USE TO

EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS AND VAPORS.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

a) Never leave burners or 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 flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,

Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

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 burner or surface

element.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN THE EVENT

OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, 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 dish cloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will

result.

d) Use an extinguisher ONLY IF:

1. You have a Class ABC or Class K fire 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.

REGULATORY / CODE REQUIREMENTS

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE VENTILATION SYSTEM

Cleaning requirements depend completely on usage and environment. The more high-heat and/or

greasy cooking, the more often the hood and blower will need cleaning.

The grease tray and blower aren’t visible from the outside, so they must be removed for inspection.

After you’ve inspected the tray a few times over the course of six months or a year, you’ll be able to

set a cleaning schedule according to your usage pattern.

HOOD LINER

Wipe down the interior of the hood liner as needed with a soft cloth and warm soapy water (liquid

dish detergent is acceptable). Do not use acids, abrasives, strong detergents, solvents, or scouring

pads. Stainless steel should be treated with a quality stainless steel cleaner such as Stainless Steel

Magic®. Follow all label instructions. Do not polish across the grain or in circles.

BLOWER HOUSING AND SHIELD

To reduce the risk of personal injury, be sure the power is turned off in

the hood before removing the shield(s) and blower housing(s).

The blower captures grease by-products in the blower housing(s) and blower shield(s). The blower

shields require more frequent cleaning than the blower housing but cooking usage determines how

often each item will need to be cleaned.

Item# Description

Blower housing with damper(s)

Blower shield

BLOWER SHIELD

The blower shields are easily removed for cleaning by pulling the blower shield(s) toward the front

of the hood.

Be careful to keep the tray level if the hood has been recently used and the

grease might still be warm.

Inspect and clean the shield. (Details follow)

BLOWER HOUSING

To remove the blower housing:

1. Unsnap two suitcase latches, one on each side of the housing.

2. Support the housing and pull it away from the blower base.

3. While pulling it back, gently “tip” it downward to clear the blower wheel(s).

CLEANING

Clean the shield(s) and/or blower housing(s) in a sink of warm soapy water (liquid dish detergent)

and let soak for a few minutes. Wash with a sponge or dishcloth, rinse and let drain before

reinstalling. Alternatively, the blower housing(s) and blower shield(s) may be placed into a

dishwasher.

To reduce the risk of personal injury, be sure the power is turned off in

the hood before removing the shield(s) and blower housing(s).

Regular cleaning of the blower housing should prevent grease accumulation on the blower wheel.

If grease build-up should occur, the blower wheel may easily be cleaned in place using a soft bristle

toothbrush and a common degreaser such as Formula 409®.

Take care not to move or lose the metal balancing clips that may be

affixed to the wheel.

BLOWER WHEEL REMOVAL

For instances where the blower wheel must be removed, follow the instructions below.

• Removing the blower wheel requires a 1/8” hex wrench. This may be obtained from your local

hardware store or tool supply.

The wheel is retained by a set screw on the side of the hub of the wheel that tightens up against a

“flat” spot on the motor shaft. (See illustration on previous page.)

1. Locate the set screw on the side of the hub of the wheel

2. Insert wrench through the blades of the blower wheel and into the set screw.

3. Loosen the set screw 1/2 turn counterclockwise.

If the wheel is difficult to remove, the area where the motor shaft makes contact with the

blower wheel hub may need to be sprayed with a common penetrating oil such as WD-40

After allowing the penetrating oil to soak for a few minutes, push the blower wheel forward

slightly, then gently pull the blower wheel off the motor shaft.

• Use caution to avoid bending or distorting the blower wheel and take care not to move or lose

the metal balancing clips(1) that may be affixed to the wheel (2).

A soft bristle toothbrush with warm soapy water may be used to clean the blades, or soak the

blower wheel in warm soapy water.

BLOWER WHEEL INSTALLATION

When reinstalling the wheel onto the motor shaft, make sure the set screw makes direct contact

with the “flat spot” on the motor shaft.

1. Slide the blower wheel onto the motor shaft as far as it will go, making sure the back of the

blower wheel does not touch the motor mount screws protruding from the motor.

• If the motor is too far back, it will rub the motor mount screws, and if it is too far forward, it

will rub the inside of the blower housing.

2. Adjust the blower wheel slightly to find the correct front-to-rear location.

3. Tighten the set screw (clockwise) to lock the blower wheel in the correct position.

For hood liners that have more than one blower wheel, make sure that white

blower wheels are matched up with white motor rings, and black blower

wheels are matched up with black motor rings.

The hood will not perform properly if blower wheels and motors are mismatched.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the hood does not perform satisfactorily, check the following:

• Do the blowers run?

• Are the blower wheels installed on the correct motors? (black wheel on black motor, white

wheel on white motor)

• Are the motor and wheel assemblies installed in the correct locations?

• Check the damper doors in blower housing(s) - do they move/open freely?

• Check the dampers/vents to outside - do they open freely, with no obstructions?

• Check for damaged or obstructed ductwork.

MOTOR REPLACEMENT

To reduce the risk of personal injury, turn off power to the hood at the

breaker or the circuit disconnect before attempting to remove the

blower motor.

MOTOR IDENTIFICATION AND POSITIONING

Motors are color-coded; black and white motors have different rotations and must be installed in

the correct positions.

• Housings with a single blower use a white blower and wheel.

• Housings with two blowers use a white blower on the right and black on the left.

Make sure you have the correct motor in each housing position.

• If the replacement blower motor includes a blower wheel, then you can remove the motor and

wheel together. If you will re-use your existing wheel, then you may wish to remove the wheel

before removing the motor.

1. Remove the shield and blower housing as described in

“BLOWER WHEEL REMOVAL” on page8.

2. Use a ¼” nut driver to remove the three motor mount

screws that attach the motor to the hood.

3. Gently pull the motor forward and down.

4. Disconnect the wiring harness, remove the old motor.

• To avoid damage to the blower wheel, you may wish to

install the motor and then install the wheel onto the motor.

5. Lift the new motor so you can connect the wiring

harness. Be sure to fully engage the electrical

connections and tighten the motor mount screws.

6. Check the blower wheel clearance and adjust

as needed, as described in “BLOWER WHEEL

INSTALLATION” on page8.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

DUCTING DO’S AND DON’TS

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Observe local codes regarding special duct requirements and placement of duct work against

combustibles.

• Using recommended transitions (see VENT ACCESSORIES) will ensure proper efficiency.

• Using recommended roof caps or wall louvers (see VENT ACCESSORIES) will ensure proper

efficiency.

• Use foil HVAC tape (not grey cloth duct tape) to seal all joints.

• The hood must be ducted to the outdoors without restrictions.

BLOWER REQUIREMENTS

The dual blower unit (WM2L, used in all systems) requires 8” round duct or equivalent (50 square

inches). The single blower unit (WM1L, used in addition to the dual blower unit in 900 CFM

systems) requires 6” round duct or equivalent (28 square inches).

COMBINED DUCT SIZE AFTER A TRANSITION

Single and Dual (WM1L & WM2L) combine to 10” round or equivalent 79 square inches using a

multi-blower transition such as AKVT6810 (Optional)

Two Duals (Two WM2Ls) combine to 12” round or equivalent 113 square inches using a multi-

blower transition such as AKVT8812 (Optional)

DUCTING REQUIREMENTS (DO’S AND DON’TS)

• NEVER reduce the duct size. When combining ducts together, the square inch area of

the outlet duct must be equal or greater than the total square inch area of the ducts being

combined.

• Only use smooth, galvanized, metal duct. Do not use flexible or corrugated duct. This type of

duct will restrict airflow and reduce performance.

• Make the duct run as short and as straight as possible with as few turns as possible.

• Avoid sharp-angled turns. Instead, use smooth, gradual turns such as adjustable elbows or 45

degree angled turns.

• For duct runs over 20 feet, increase the duct diameter by one inch for every ten feet of duct.

• When planning length, a 90 degree elbow is equivalent to 5 feet of duct.

TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS

Airflow must not be restricted at the end of the duct run.

A wall louver or roof cap is required

for each duct run.

Every wall louver or roof cap must

include a gravity damper to prevent

back drafts.

Do not use screen wire or spring-

loaded doors on wall louvers or roof

caps.

Do not terminate venting into an

attic or chimney.

LIMITED WARRANTY

WHAT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY COVERS

Hestan Commercial Corporation (“HCC”) warrants to the original consumer purchaser of a Hestan

Indoor Cooking product (the “Product”) from an HCC authorized dealer that the Product is free

from defective materials or workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the date of original

retail purchase or closing date for new construction, whichever period is longer (“Limited Warranty

Period”). HCC agrees to repair or replace, at HCC’s sole option, any part or component of the

Product that fails due to defective materials or workmanship during the Limited Warranty Period.

This Limited Warranty is not transferable and does not extend to anyone beyond the original

consumer purchaser (“Purchaser”). This Limited Warranty is valid only on Products purchased

and received from an HCC authorized dealer in the fifty United States, the District of Columbia

and Canada. This Limited Warranty applies only to Products in non-commercial use and does not

extend to Products used in commercial applications.

HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE

If the Product fails during the Limited Warranty Period for reasons covered by this Limited

Warranty, the Purchaser must immediately contact the dealer from whom the Product was

purchased or HCC at 888.905.7463.

Purchaser is responsible for making the Product reasonably accessible for service or for paying the

cost to make the Product reasonably accessible for service. Service is to be provided during normal

business hours of the authorized Hestan Commercial Service Provider. To the extent Purchaser

requests service outside of the normal business hours of the authorized Hestan Commercial Service

Provider, Purchaser will pay the difference between regular rates and overtime or premium rates.

Purchaser is required to pay all travel costs for travel beyond 50 miles (one way) from the nearest

authorized Hestan Commercial Service Provider.

EXTENSIONS TO TWO YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD:

IN ADDITION TO THE TWO-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY, THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS

HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH BELOW:

1. The Product’s gas burners (excludes appearance), electric heating elements, blower motors

(ventilation hoods), electronic control boards, magnetron tubes and induction generators

(where applicable) are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under

normal non-commercial use and service for a period of five (5) years of the original Purchaser.

This excludes surface corrosion, scratches, and discoloration which may occur during normal

use and is limited to replacement of the defective part(s), with the Purchaser paying all other

costs, including labor, shipping and handling, as applicable.

WHAT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:

This Limited Warranty does not cover and HCC will not be responsible for and will not pay for:

damage to or defects in any Product not purchased from an HCC authorized dealer; color variations

in color finishes or other cosmetic damage; failure or damage from abuse, misuse, accident, fire,

natural disaster, commercial use of the Product, or loss of electrical power or gas supply to the

Product; damage from alteration, improper installation, or improper operation of the Product;

damage from improper or unauthorized repair or replacement of any part or component of the

Product; damage from service by someone other than an authorized agent or representative of the

Hestan Commercial Service Network; normal wear and tear; damage from exposure of the Product

to a corrosive atmosphere containing chlorine, fluorine, or any other damaging chemicals; damage

resulting from the failure to provide normal care and maintenance to the Product; damage HCC

was not notified of within the Limited Warranty Period; and incidental and consequential damages

caused by any defective material or workmanship.

ARBITRATION:

This Limited Warranty is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Any dispute between Purchaser

and HCC regarding or related to the Product or to this Limited Warranty shall be resolved by

binding arbitration only on an individual basis with Purchaser. Arbitration will be conducted by the

American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules or by

JAMS. The arbitration hearing shall be before one arbitrator appointed by the AAA or JAMS. The

arbitrator shall not conduct class arbitration and Purchaser shall not bring any claims against HCC

in a representative capacity on behalf of others.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:

This Limited Warranty is the final, complete and exclusive agreement between HCC and Purchaser

regarding the Product.

THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THOSE LISTED AND DESCRIBED

ABOVE. NO WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT

LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A

PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL APPLY AFTER THE LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD STATED

ABOVE. NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY OR GUARANTY GIVEN BY ANY PERSON, FIRM

OR CORPORATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS PRODUCT SHALL BE BINDING ON HCC. HCC

LIMITED WARRANTY

(CONT.)

LIMITED WARRANTY

(CONT.)

ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE PRODUCT WILL BE FIT FOR ANY PARTICULAR

PURPOSE, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

HCC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFITS, FAILURE TO REALIZE

SAVINGS OR OTHER BENEFITS, OR ANY OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL

DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE, MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT, REGARDLESS

OF THE LEGAL THEORY ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED, AND EVEN IF HCC HAS BEEN

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NO RECOVERY OF ANY KIND AGAINST

HCC SHALL BE GREATER IN AMOUNT THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU ASSUME ALL RISK AND LIABILITY FOR

LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY TO YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY AND TO OTHERS AND THEIR

PROPERTY ARISING OUT OF THE USE, MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT NOT

CAUSED DIRECTLY BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF HCC. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY STATES YOUR

EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.

No oral or written representation or commitment given by anyone, including but not limited

to, an employee, representative or agent of HCC will create a warranty or in any way increase

the scope of this express Limited Two Year Warranty. If there is any inconsistency between

this Limited Warranty and any other agreement or statement included with or relating to the

Product, this Limited Warranty shall govern. If any provision of this Limited Warranty is found

invalid or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make

it enforceable and the remainder of the Limited Warranty shall remain valid and enforceable

according to its terms.

INTERACTION OF LAWS WITH THIS LIMITED WARRANTY:

Some states, provinces or territories may not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty

lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations

or exclusions may not apply to you. Some states, provinces or territories may provide for

additional warranty rights and remedies, and the provisions contained in this Limited Warranty

are not intended to limit, modify, take away from, disclaim or exclude any mandatory warranty

requirements provided by states, provinces or territories, including certain implied warranties. This

warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary depending

on location.

PRÉCAUTIONS GÉNÉRALES DE SÉCURITÉ

Lorsqu’il est correctement entretenu, votre hotte de ventilation est un système de ventilation sûr et

fiabl. Lisez attentivement toutes les instructions avant d’utiliser ce système de ventilation. Lors de

l’utilisation d’appareils de cuisine, des précautions de sécurité de base doivent être respectées.

POUR RÉDUIRE LES RISQUES D’INCENDIE, D’ÉLECTROCUTION

OU DE BLESSURES, OBSERVEZ CE QUI SUIT:

a) N’utilisez cet appareil que de la manière prévue par le fabricant. Si vous avez des questions,

contactez le fabricant.

b) Avant de procéder à l’entretien ou au nettoyage de l’unité, éteignez le panneau de service et

verrouillez les moyens de déconnexion du service afin d’éviter toute mise sous tension

accidentelle. Lorsque les moyens de déconnexion du service ne peuvent pas être verrouillés,

fixez fermement un dispositif d’avertissement proéminent, tel qu’une étiquette, sur le panneau

de service.

POUR USAGE VENTILATOIRE GÉNÉRAL UNIQUEMENT. NE PAS

UTILISER POUR L’ÉCHAPPEMENT DE MATÉRIAUX OU DE

VAPEURS DANGEREUX OU EXPLOSIVES.

POUR RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE D’UN FEU DE GRAISSE SUR LA

CUISINIÈRE:

a) Ne laissez jamais des brûleurs ou des unités de surface sans surveillance à des réglages élevés.

Les débordements provoquent le tabagisme et les débordements graisseux qui peuvent

s’enflammer. Chauffer les huiles lentement sur les réglages bas ou moyens.

b) Allumez toujours le hotte lorsque vous cuisinez à feu vif ou lorsque vous flambez de la

nourriture (c.-à-d. Crêpes Suzette, cerises jubilées, poivres de bœuf Flambe).

c) Nettoyer fréquemment les ventilateurs. La graisse ne doit pas s’accumuler sur le ventilateur ou

le filtre.

d) Utilisez la taille de casserole appropriée. Utilisez toujours des ustensiles de cuisine adaptés à la

taille de l’élément de surface ou du brûleur.

POUR RÉDUIRE LES RISQUES DE BLESSURES EN CAS DE FEU DE

GRAISSE SUR LA CUISINIÈRE, OBSERVEZ CE QUI SUIT *:

a) ÉTOUFFER LES FLAMMES avec un couvercle hermétique, une plaque à biscuits ou un plateau

métallique, puis éteignez le brûleur. SOYEZ PRUDENT POUR PRÉVENIR LES BRÛLURES.

Si les flammes ne s’éteignent pas immédiatement, ÉVACUER ET APPELER LE SERVICE DES

INCENDIES.

b) NE JAMAIS RAMASSER UN PAN INFLAMMABLE - Vous pourriez être brûlé.

c) N’UTILISEZ PAS D’EAU, y compris des torchons ou des serviettes humides - une violente

explosion de vapeur se produira.

d) Utilisez un extincteur UNIQUEMENT si:

1. Vous savez que vous avez un extincteur de type ABC ou type K, et vous savez déjà comment

l’utiliser.

2. Le feu est petit et contenu dans la zone où il a commencé.

3. Le service d’incendie est appelé.

4. Vous pouvez combattre le feu avec votre dos à une sortie.
