This document serves as an installation guide and user's manual for XtremeAIR's Pro-X Series PX06-136, PX06-142, PX06-148, PX04-136, and PX04-142 island mount range hoods. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance, emphasizing safety and optimal performance for residential and indoor use.

Function Description

The XtremeAIR Pro-X Series range hood is designed to ventilate cooking fumes, smoke, and odors from the kitchen, exhausting them to the outdoors. It features a powerful blower system to effectively clear the air above a cooktop or range. The hood is equipped with a control panel that allows users to manage various functions, including blower speed, lighting, and timer settings. Its primary function is to maintain a clean and fresh kitchen environment by removing airborne contaminants generated during cooking. The unit is designed for island mount installation, meaning it is suspended from the ceiling above a freestanding cooktop.

Usage Features

The range hood incorporates several user-friendly features to enhance the cooking experience. The control panel, for PX06 models, utilizes a touch-sensitive interface, requiring only a light touch and hold for approximately one second to activate functions. This design minimizes physical effort and provides a sleek appearance. For PX04 models, a touch button interface is used.

Key operational features include:

Blower Function: Users can activate the blower at various speeds (F1: quiet, F2: low, F3: medium, F4: high) to match the intensity of cooking. The blower can be started from the lowest or highest speed and adjusted incrementally.
Light Function: The range hood is equipped with LED lights to illuminate the cooking surface. These lights can be turned on or off independently of the blower function.
Power-Off Delay Timer: This feature allows the user to set a delay for the blower to continue operating after cooking is finished, ensuring all residual fumes are cleared. The timer can be adjusted from 1 to 15 minutes, after which the blower will automatically shut off. The display screen will show a flashing clock when the timer is active.
Automatic Shut-Off: The range hood is programmed to automatically shut off after approximately 2.5 hours of continuous operation, serving as an energy-saving and safety measure.
Smoke Detector Auto Function (for models manufactured before 2016): This feature, when activated, allows the hood to automatically adjust its operation based on detected smoke levels. However, this function is not available on newer models.
Clock Display (for models manufactured after October 2013): Some models include a clock display that can be set by the user.
Remote Control Sensor: For models equipped with a remote control, an infrared (IR) sensor allows for convenient operation from a distance of up to 10 feet, provided there is a direct line of sight.
User Configuration Memory: The system saves user configurations, including light, timer, and blower speed settings, ensuring they remain the same for subsequent use.
Cleaning Reminder: After 30 hours of cumulative use, a timer icon will flash, reminding the user to clean the baffle filters. This reminder can be reset after cleaning.

The manual emphasizes the importance of starting the range hood before cooking and allowing it to operate for several minutes after cooking is completed to effectively clear smoke and odors.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance, longevity, and safety of the XtremeAIR range hood. The manual provides detailed instructions for cleaning various components:

Exterior Surfaces: The stainless steel exterior should be cleaned periodically with a stainless steel cleaner or hot soapy water and a soft cotton cloth. Users are warned against using corrosive or abrasive detergents, steel wool, or scoring pads, as these can scratch and damage the surface. For heavier soil, liquid degreasers are recommended. After cleaning, a non-abrasive stainless steel polish can be used to restore luster and grain. It is important to avoid leaving cleaning solutions on the surface for extended periods and to wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Grease Filters / Stainless Steel Filterless Grill: The metal filters are designed to trap grease and residue from cooking. They do not require replacement but must be kept clean. The cleaning reminder feature prompts users to clean the filters after every 30 hours of use. Filters can be cleaned by hand or in a dishwasher using a degreasing detergent. For heavily soiled filters, soaking is recommended before drying and re-installing.
Oil Containers: For models with oil containers, it is important to drain the oil before it overflows.
Blower and Internal Components: The manual stresses the importance of keeping the fan, baffle, spaces, filter, grease tunnel, oil container, and grease-laden surfaces clean to prevent grease accumulation, which can increase inflammability and lead to fires. Users are advised not to operate the blowers when filters are removed and not to disassemble parts for cleaning without proper instructions, recommending that disassembly be performed by qualified personnel.

The manual also includes troubleshooting tips for common issues such as the hood not operating, vibrations, weak blower performance, lights working but blower not spinning, improper venting, excessive noise, and inactive control panels. These tips guide users in identifying and resolving minor problems, often related to installation, connections, or cleaning.
