Blower speed decrease and off: Reduces ventilation speed and can turn the blower off.
Blower speed increase and on: Raises ventilation speed and starts the blower.
Light: Controls the range hood lighting.
Indicator light: Illuminates during the linking process and flashes when the link is confirmed.

The remote holder can be positioned where it is convenient to reach during cooking. Use either the supplied screw or magnet mounting method, depending on the installation surface.

Safety

Replace the battery only with the correct type. Using an incorrect battery can create an explosion hazard.
Dispose of the used battery according to applicable local regulations.
Do not make unauthorized changes or modifications to the remote. Such changes may void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
The remote must accept received radio interference, including interference that could cause unwanted operation.

Setup and Operation

Using the controls

Press the blower increase button to turn the hood on or raise the ventilation speed. Press the blower decrease button to lower the speed or switch the blower off. Use the Light button to operate the hood lighting, and press Delay-Off when the hood should continue operating for a delayed period before shutting down.

Resetting the filter alarm

Press the Delay-Off and Light buttons at the same time to reset the range hood filter alarm after the filters have been serviced according to the hood's maintenance instructions.

Linking the remote to a range hood

The ACR3 Range Hood Remote Control must be linked to the hood before it can operate correctly. Linking is also useful when multiple compatible hoods are installed close together, such as in adjacent kitchens, showrooms, or exhibition spaces.

Identify the hood-control layout and locate its specified link-confirmation button.
On the remote, press the two linking buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds, until the indicator light turns on.
Release the two buttons, then press and release the remote confirmation button. The indicator light begins flashing.
Within 3 seconds, press and release the correct link-confirmation button on the hood control.

Hood link-confirmation buttons

Hood Control 1: P1
Hood Control 2: P5
Hood Control 3: P2
Hood Control 4: P1
Hood Control 5: P3
Hood Control 6: A. Hold A until lighting-intensity indicators 1 and 3 flash three times.
Hood Control 7: P5. Hold P5 for 2 seconds to complete linking.
Hood Control 8: TC1. Hold TC1 for 2 seconds to complete linking.
Hood Control 9: B. Hold B for 2 seconds to complete linking.

When the remote is supplied with the hood, linking should already be complete. If the remote does not respond, repeat the procedure carefully and confirm that the button sequence matches the hood-control type.

Troubleshooting

Remote does not operate the hood

Confirm that the battery is installed correctly and is the specified type.
Repeat the linking procedure, ensuring the hood confirmation button is pressed within the required 3-second window.
Verify that the correct hood-control layout and corresponding confirmation button have been identified.

Linking does not complete

Make sure the remote indicator light turns on after holding the two linking buttons for 5 seconds.
Press and release the remote confirmation button before using the hood control.
For controls labeled A, P5, TC1, or B, hold the button for the full completion interval specified for that control.

Filter alarm remains active

After servicing the hood filters, press the Delay-Off and Light buttons together to reset the filter alarm.

Faqs

How do I link the ACR3 remote control to my BEST range hood?

The ACR3 remote must be linked to the range hood before it can operate the blower or lights. Press and hold the remote’s Delay-Off and Light buttons together for about five seconds, until the indicator light turns on. Release them, then press and release the Delay-Off button to confirm. While the remote indicator flashes, press the correct Link Confirm button on the hood within three seconds. The required button depends on the hood control type.

Which Link Confirm button should I use when pairing the ACR3 remote?

The correct hood button depends on the control configuration. The listed options are P1 for hood controls 1 and 4, P5 for controls 2 and 7, P2 for control 3, A for control 6, P3 for control 5, TC1 for control 8, and B for control 9. Some controls require holding the button for two seconds, while control 6 requires holding A until light-intensity indicators 1 and 3 flash three times.

Do I need to pair the ACR3 remote if it came with my range hood?

Usually, no. When the ACR3 remote is supplied with the range hood, the manufacturer indicates that the linking procedure is generally completed at the factory. Test the remote by using the light or blower controls. If the hood does not respond, repeat the linking procedure carefully, making sure the correct hood control type is identified and that the Link Confirm button is pressed within the required three-second window.

What can I do if the ACR3 remote does not control the range hood?

First, check whether the remote indicator light responds when buttons are pressed and confirm that the hood has electrical power. If the remote still does not work, link it again from the beginning. Hold Delay-Off and Light together for five seconds, confirm with Delay-Off, and then use the correct hood Link Confirm button within three seconds. Avoid pairing the remote with nearby hoods, since multiple compatible products can cause unintended control assignments.

How do I turn the range hood blower on and change its speed with the ACR3 remote?

Use the blower-speed increase button to turn the hood motor on and raise ventilation speed. Use the blower-speed decrease button to lower the speed; continuing to decrease the setting turns the blower off. The remote also includes a Delay-Off function, which is intended to stop the blower after a delay rather than immediately. The indicator light helps confirm remote activity while commands are being sent.

How do I operate the range hood lights with the ACR3 remote?

Press the Light button to control the hood lighting. If the lights do not respond, confirm that the ACR3 remote is correctly linked and that the hood has power. When pairing, the Light button is also used with Delay-Off to place the remote into linking mode, so pressing both buttons together is not the normal lighting command. Test the light after pairing to verify that the remote is communicating with the hood.

How can I reset the range hood filter alarm using the ACR3 remote?

To reset the filter alarm, press the Delay-Off and Light buttons at the same time. Hold or press them together as directed by the hood’s control response until the alarm clears. This command resets the filter notification only; it does not replace the need to inspect or maintain the hood filters. If the alarm remains active, confirm that the remote is linked and repeat the button combination.

What battery safety precautions apply to the ACR3 remote control?

Replace the remote battery only with the correct battery type specified for the control. Using an incorrect type can create an explosion risk. Dispose of the used battery according to local regulations rather than placing it in ordinary household waste when local rules require separate battery collection. If the indicator light is weak or the hood responds intermittently, the battery may need replacement, but pairing may also need to be checked.
