Due to the hood fan drawing power, special
caution is needed to avoid spreading of possible
flame from the cooking surface of your range.
Never leave surface units unattended at high
heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite and spread if hood is
used. Use surface unit heat settings recommended
by manufacturer and adequate-size utensils.
When flaming foods are under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the
flame.
Never use your cooking appliance for warming,
or heating the room.
The electrical wiring of your
range hood may not withstand the resulting
excessive heat.
Keep hood clean and replace filter when
recommended to maintain good venting and to
avoid grease fires. (See instructions on page 2.)
DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN. Smother
flaming pan on surface unit with well fitting lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray, and, IF YOU CAN DO
SO WITHOUT GETTING BURNED,
immediately turn “OFF” the surface unit switch
and hood. If there is danger of being burned, wait
until AFTER flame has been reduced.
Flaming grease outside pan can be extinguished by
baking soda, or, if available, a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.
If you need service...
. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your hood unless it is specifically
recommended in this
book. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
● Disconnect hood circuit breaker or fuse
before performing any service.
Write down the model and serial numbers.
You’ll find them on a label on the back wall of the
hood. These numbers are also on the Consumer Product
Ownership Registration Card that came with your
hood. Before sending in this card, please write these
