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

not 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, in-
cluding 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.

wiring and other hidden utilities.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

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 cooking

flaming foods.

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.
