SAFETY INFORMATION

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK,

AND/OR INJURY OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Unit is intended for indoor residential use only. If you should have questions,

contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the

warranty.

In case the unit should need to be cleaned or repaired, 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.

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified technician in

accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated

construction.

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases

through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting.

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.

Because the unit is made of stainless steel, it may contain sharp edges. Be

careful to avoid cuts and abrasions by wearing protective gloves during

installation and cleaning.

Before you begin to cut or drill into the wall, verify that there is no electrical

wiring or any other hidden electrical components.

Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

The unit must be properly grounded and installed at the recommended height

before beginning operation.

To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

CAUTION: FOR GENERAL VENTILATING USE ONLY. DO NOT

USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS

AND VAPORS

3SAFETY INFORMATION

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT

USE THIS FAN WITH ANY SOLID-STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE.

Regardless of heat level, never leave any surface materials unattended while

operating an open flame.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e.

Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

Depending on amount of usage, clean ventilating fans and filters frequently.

Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. For instructions

on the how to clean, see maintenance page.

Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-overs may cause

smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite as result. Heat oils slowly on low or

medium settings.

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:

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 911.

NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN —Doing so may result in serious burns

and possibly spread the fire.

DO NOT USE WATER – Grease fire must be extinguished before further

action may be taken. Using water will agitate the grease and may cause a

violent steam explosion.

Use a Fire Extinguisher ONLY if:

You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know

how to operate it.

The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

The fire department is being called.

You are able to safely control the fire with your back to an open exit. *

Based on “Kitchen Fire safety Tips” published by NFPA.
