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 any questions, contact the
manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed
on the front cover of this manual.

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 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 back drafting. Follow the
HVAC equipment manufacturer’s guidelines 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 ceilings do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

9. Use with approved wiring only.
10. This unit must be grounded.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
2. Always turn fan 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.
