WARNING

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 the 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 a qualified

person(s) 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

guideline and safety standards such as those published by the

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American

Society of 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. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this range

hood with an additional speed control device.

7. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.
10.This unit must be grounded.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1. 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.

2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing

food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef

Flambé).

3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to

accumulate on fan or filter.

4. Use proper pan 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 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 - violent

steam explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already

know how to operate it.

B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
