What to Do
1. Begin by ensuring proper installation
and grounding of the hood by a qualified
technician. Have the installer show you
where the fuse or junction box is located
so that you know how and where to turn off
power.
2. Always be certain that nothing will interfere
with the vent intake.
3. Use the vent system for its intended
purpose only as outlined in this manual.
4. Clean the filters and all grease-laden
surfaces often to prevent grease fires and
maintain performance.
5. 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.
6. Always run the blower whenever a cooktop
is operating.
What Not to Do
1. Never operate the hood without the filters
in place.
2. 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.
3. Never leave the appliance unattended
when using high heat settings. Boil-overs
and greasy spills may smoke and/or ignite.
4. 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.
5. CAUTION: 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
The DACOR Epicure™ Hood has two knobs
that control the function of the hoods Halogen
lights and the exhaust blower.
Turning the knobs clockwise will turn on the
lights and the blower. The blower has an infinite
speed range between these settings.
OPERATING TIPS:
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.
Operating Controls
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.
Energy Saving Tips
OPERATING DON’TS
Do not operate the vent system without the
filters in place or with dirty, grease-laden filters.
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.
STAINLESS STEEL, BRASS & CHROME
SURFACES should be cleaned with a solution
of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and
dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
CAUTION: 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.
