Use and Care Guide

All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated, and grounded.
Old duct work should be cleaned or replaced, if necessary, to avoid the possibility of a
grease fire. Check all joints on duct work to insure proper connection, all joints should be
properly taped.
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions,
contact the vendor.
When the range hood ventilates the air out of the room, the air vented must be replaced,
this is called make-up air. If a makeup air system is needed, but not used, a hood may
not function as expected due to negative air pressure. We do not currently provide a
make-up air unit. Always consult any applicable building codes in your area in regards
to minimum and maximum air flow rates. Certain states may require additional items such
as make-up air for larger CFM range hoods (typically over 300 CFM).
Keep all fans, baffle, spaces, filter, grease tunnel, oil container and grease-laden surfaces
clean. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, baffle, spaces, filter, grease
tunnel or oil container. Clean grease-laden surfaces frequently.
To reduce the risk of fire and to disperse air properly, make sure to vent air outside. DO
NOT vent exhaust into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceilings, attics or garages.
Always turn the range hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming
foods. Use high settings on the cooking range only when necessary. Never leave surface
units unattended at high settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
Clean ventilating fan frequently.
Always use appropriate cookware and utensils size. Always use cookware appropriate
for the size of the surface element.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a stove top grease
fire:
Smother flames with a close fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal tray, then turn OFF the
burner. Never pick up a flaming pan—you may be burned.
Keep flammable or combustible material away from flames. If the flames do not go out
immediately, evacuate and call the fire department. DO NOT use water, including wet
dishcloths or towels—a violent steam explosion will result.
