Original instructions
2. Containment-Enhancing Sash Handle includes a perforated air passage
directly atop the handle to bleed air into the hood chamber and direct
chemical fume concentrations away from the user breathing zone. The
large radiused handle sweeps airflow into the hood with minimal
turbulence.
3. Large usable interior work depth and interior height of 48" provides
ample working space and directs contaminants away from the operator.
4. Opti-Zone™ Rear Downflow Dual Baffle System directs horizontal
streams of airflow to the rear slots of the primary baffle in a single pass.
Baffles are removable for cleaning. The secondary baffle, located
between the primary baffle and the back wall, counteracts the upward air
streams that create roll in traditional hoods.
5. Exterior access cover plates are removable for easy access to plumbing
valves and sash adjustment hardware when servicing through the sides is
not possible.
6. Lift-Away™ front panel provides easy access to electrical wiring, sash
weights, and lighting fixtures.
7. Energy efficient fluorescent lighting is located behind a laminated safety
glass shield mounted to the top of the hood. The factory-wired instant
start T8 lighting is serviceable from outside the hood cavity.
8. Low mounted, factory-wired light and blower switches are ADA
compliant.
9. Eco Energy Conservation Air Foil and Flush Foil allow air to sweep the
work surface for maximum containment. The perforated Clean-Sweep™
openings create a constant protective barrier from contaminants. In
addition, should the operator inadvertently block the airflow entering, the
air continues to enter from under the air foil and through the Clean-Sweep
openings.
10. Streamlined corner posts provide maximum visibility and the flexibility
to add services after installation.
11. All hoods are factory prepared for up to 8 service fixtures.
12. Duplex electrical receptacles are mounted on the right and left corner
posts as requested. Receptacles are factory-wired to hood single point
junction box.
13. Upper Dilution Air Supply (not shown) provides bypass air from above
the work area. This feature constantly bathes the sash interior with clean
air and reduces chemical fumes along the sash plane, near the critical
breathing zone. The upper dilution air supply perforations sweep the
upper interior to reduce stagnant pockets of air in the upper interior.
14. Shipped fully assembled and eliminates the need for costly onsite
assembly. If needed, the fume hood easily breaks down for transport
through doorways.
