WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT
OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal tray,
then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. IF THE
FLAMES DO NOT GO OUT IMMEDIATELY, EVACUATE AND CALL
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels — This could
cause a violent steam explosion.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department has been called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.
1. For indoor use only.
2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials and vapors.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers,
keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.
4. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut
off the motor if it becomes overheated. The motor will restart when it
cools down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood
serviced.
5. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should
be at a minimum of 20” and at a maximum of 25” above the cooking
surface.
6. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct
air outside — Donot exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling or into
attics, crawl space or garage.

safety glasses and gloves.

CAUTION
!
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY
TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you
have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone
number listed in the warranty.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel
and lock service disconnecting means to prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means
cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as
a tag, to the service panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified
personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent
backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines
and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society for Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local
code authorities.
5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.
6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. Do not use this unit with any additional solid-state speed control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.
10. When applicable local regulations comprise more restrictive installation
and/or certification requirements, the aforementioned requirements
prevail on those of this document and the installer agrees to conform to
these at his own expense.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low
or medium settings.
b) Always turn range hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn
Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan, filters or in exhaust ducts.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of
the surface element.
