SAFETY AND WARNINGS
WARNING!
When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions includingthe following:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, observe thefollowing:
z Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions,
contact the manufacturer.
z Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the 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.
z Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
z 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 for Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
z When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
z Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
z WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal duct work
z To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state
speed control device.
General
z CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous
or explosive materials and vapors.
z WARNING: To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:
z Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
z Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
z Always turn hood on when cooking at high or when flambéing food
(ieCrepesSuzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé)
z Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate
on fan or filter.
z Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the
surfaceelement.
z WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury to persons in the event of a range top grease
fire, observe the following:*
z 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.
z Never pick up a flaming pan – you may be burned.
z Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
z Use an 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 can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

COOKING CONSIDERATIONS
Induction
Induction cooktops use energy-efficient technology that only heats the contents of a
cooking pot, not the surrounding air. As a result, there is more likelihood of condensation
on range hood filters, splashbacks and surrounding cabinetry than when you use traditional
electric or gas cooktops.
Other factors that influence condensation are room temperature, humidity, natural
ventilation of the room, size of the cookware and how the induction cooktop is being
used. For example, rapid boiling increases the likelihood of condensation. It is important to
understand that neither the range hood nor the induction cooktop are faulty.
Reducing condensation
z When boiling, use the range hood on a lower speed setting and the induction cooktop
on a lower heat setting.
z Switch the range hood on 5 minutes before cooking and let it run for at least 5minutes
after cooking.
Gas
Range hood surfaces may become hot if using a powerful gas cooktop or multiple gas
burners operating at the same time. This effect can be reduced by using the maximum
speed setting to enable hot air to be extracted quickly.
Optimising performance
z Turn your range hood on for a few minutes before cooking. This will establish air currents
up through the range hood, remove hot air from your kitchen and keep the range hood
surface cool.
z Reduce fan speed for normal use and increase it for high heat, strong odours or fumes.
