This document serves as an installation guide and user's manual for the XtremeAIR Island Mount Range Hood, specifically covering the Pro-X Series (PX01-130 / 136 / 142) and Special Series (SP-130 / 136 / 142) models. The primary function of this device is to ventilate kitchen air, removing smoke, odors, and grease-laden vapors from the cooking area. It is designed for residential and indoor use only.

Function Description

The XtremeAIR Island Mount Range Hood is an advanced ventilation system designed to be mounted above a cooking surface, typically an island cooktop. Its core function is to draw air from the kitchen, filter out grease and other particulates, and exhaust the cleaned air to the outdoors. This process helps maintain a cleaner, healthier kitchen environment by preventing the accumulation of cooking byproducts on surfaces and in the air. The hood features a powerful blower system that can be adjusted through multiple speed settings to accommodate various cooking intensities, from light simmering to heavy frying. It also includes integrated lighting to illuminate the cooking surface, enhancing visibility and safety. The design emphasizes efficient air extraction while aiming for quiet operation.

Usage Features

The range hood incorporates several features to enhance its usability and performance. For optimal operation, it is recommended to start the range hood before cooking and allow it to run for several minutes after cooking is completed to ensure all smoke and odors are cleared.

The control panel for the PX01-I model utilizes touch-sensitive controls, requiring only a light touch and hold for approximately one second to activate functions. Key functions include:

Power ON/OFF: Activates or deactivates the unit and can also initiate the power-off delay timer.
Blower Speed Adjustment: Allows users to increase or decrease the blower (motor) speed across multiple levels to match cooking needs. The system saves user configurations, so the last-used speed setting will be recalled upon activation.
Light Control: Turns the integrated lights ON or OFF with a single touch.
Timer Function: The hood includes a power-off delay timer, which can be set for a desired duration (minimum 1 minute to maximum 15 minutes) to continue ventilation after cooking, ensuring complete odor removal. This setting is saved immediately.
Automatic Shut-Off: The unit is programmed to automatically shut off approximately every 2.5 hours, after which it can be restarted as usual.
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.

For the SP01-I control panel, features include:

Clock Button & Delay Timer Button: Allows setting the 12-hour clock when the fan is not running. When the fan is running, this button activates the delay shut-off timer, which has a default setting of 1 minute and can be adjusted up to 15 minutes.
Light Button: Turns the lights on or off.
Minus (-) Button: Decreases settings. It also serves as a shortcut to turn on the fan at a high-speed setting when the unit is off.
Plus (+) Button: Increases settings. It also serves as a shortcut to turn on the fan at a low-speed setting when the unit is off.
Power Button: Turns the control panel on or off.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the range hood's performance, safety, and longevity. The manual provides clear guidelines for cleaning and care:

General Cleaning: It is essential to keep the unit clean and free of grease and residue buildup at all times to prevent potential fires and maintain efficiency.
Filter Cleaning: The metal baffle filters are designed to capture grease and residue. They must be cleaned periodically, ideally after every 30 hours of use, as indicated by the cleaning reminder. Filters can be removed and cleaned by hand or in a dishwasher using a proper degreasing detergent. For heavily soiled filters, soaking is recommended. After cleaning, filters must be thoroughly dried before re-installation.
Oil Tunnel/Container: The oil tunnel and oil container should be regularly cleaned, and accumulated oil drained to prevent overflow.
Exterior Surface Cleaning: Stainless steel exterior surfaces should be cleaned periodically with a stainless steel cleaner or hot soapy water and a clean cotton cloth. It is critical to avoid corrosive or abrasive detergents, steel wool, or scoring pads, which can scratch and damage the stainless steel finish. For stubborn spots, a liquid degreaser can be used, followed by wiping with a soft towel. After cleaning, a non-abrasive stainless steel polish can be applied to restore luster.
Important Precautions: Users are warned against operating the blowers when filters are removed. Disassembly of parts for cleaning should only be performed by qualified personnel. It is also crucial to avoid allowing salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods, as these chemicals can be harmful.

The manual emphasizes that the range hood is for residential and indoor use only and highlights the importance of reading and saving all instructions for safe and effective operation.
