OBSERVEZ LES CONSIGNES SUIVANTES DE MANIÈRE À RÉDUIRE LES RISQUES DE
BLESSURES CORPORELLES EN CAS D’INCENDIE CAUSÉ PAR DE LA GRAISSE SUR LE
PLAN DE CUISSON :*
1. ÉTOUFFEZ LES FLAMMES à l’aide d’un couvercle étanche, d’une tôle à biscuits ou d’un
plateau en métal puis éteignez le brûleur. FAITES ATTENTION DE NE PAS VOUS BRÛLER.
Si les flammes ne s’éteignent pas immédiatement, QUITTEZ LES LIEUX ET APPELEZ LE
SERVICE DES INCENDIES.
2. NE SOULEVEZ JAMAIS UNE CASSEROLE EN FLAMMES - vous pourriez vous brûler.
3. N’UTILISEZ PAS D’EAU, ni de serviettes ou de linges mouillés – une violente explosion de
vapeur pourrait survenir.
4. Utilisez un extincteur SEULEMENT si :
A. Vous savez qu’il est de classe ABC et vous connaissez déjà son mode de fonctionnement.
B. L’incendie n’est pas très important et ne se propage pas.
C. Les pompiers ont été avisés.
D. Vous pouvez combattre l’incendie en faisant dos à une sortie.

Thermostat HEAT SENTRYMC
Votre hotte est équipée d’un thermostat HEAT SENTRYMC. Il s’agit d’un détecteur de chaleur
qui actionne le ventilateur ou en augmente le régime en cas de chaleur excessive dégagée
par les éléments de cuisson.
1) En position ARRÊT, le ventilateur est mis en MARCHE au régime MAXIMUM.
2) En position MARCHE à régime lent, le ventilateur passe au régime MAXIMUM.
Une fois la température revenue à la normale, le ventilateur revient à son réglage d’origine.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le thermostat HEAT SENTRY peut faire démarrer le ventilateur même si la hotte est
sur ARRÊT. Lorsque cela se produit, il est impossible d’ARRÊTER le ventilateur avec
son interrupteur. Si vous devez arrêter le ventilateur, coupez le disjoncteur du panneau
d’alimentation électrique.
