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 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 qualified
personnel 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 guidelines
and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society for 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. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
7. Do not use this unit with any separate solid-state speed control device.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
9. This unit must be grounded.
10. When installing, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to
wear safety glasses and gloves.
11. When applicable local regulations comprise more restrictive installation
and/or certification requirements, the aforementioned requirements
prevail on those of this document and the installer agrees to conform
to these at his own expenses.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) 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.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing
food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filters.
d) 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.
* Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA.
1. For indoor use only.
2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials and vapors.
3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced
impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.
4. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut
off the motor if it overheats. The motor will restart when it cools down.
If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
5. The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less than 24".
A maximum of 30" above cooktop is recommended for best capture of
cooking impurities.
6. Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight
of this unit.
7. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air on a ducted
installation, be sure to duct air outside — Do not exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics, crawl spaces or garage.
8. Because of the high exhausting capacity of this hood, make sure
enough air is entering the house. Open a window close to or in the
kitchen.
9. To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, the Best WPP1 series
models should only be installed with their own built-in blowers.
10. As an alternative, this product may be installed with the UL-approved
range hood cord kit HCK44, following instructions packed with the
cord kit.
11. Please read specification label on product for further information and
