Safety
Specific Safety Precautions:
For your safety, please observe all the following precautions when operating or servicing this GILES food service
equipment. Adhering to the following important safety information will help to prevent personal injury and/or
damage to the equipment or property.
• Before cleaning or performing maintenance, place power switch in the [OFF] position and remove all power
from the appliance by unplugging power cord or turning OFF breaker in the electrical panel supplying the unit.
• When replacing filters, failing to place power switch in the [OFF] position, could result in electrical shock and/or
serious personal injury.
• DO NOT wash down interior or exterior of hood with water from a spray hose.
• Failure to comply with DANGER notices will result in serious injury, even death, damage to equipment and/or
property and may void the factory warranty.

• Ventless recirculating hoods are NOT suitable for every commercial food service application. Failure to fully
comply with all of the site requirements and installation limitations as outlined in the GFSE Hood Approval
Letter and this Manual, can result in poor or highly unsatisfactory performance.
• DO NOT use a ventless recirculating hood with any gasfired cooking appliance due to high potential for
inhalation hazard due to carbon monoxide buildup in the kitchen area. Hood is approved ONLY for use with
electrically heated appliances.
• Prior to installation, consult a qualified electrician to ensure that installation complies with all electrical
requirements and codes.
• Check the rating label on the unit to determine the proper required power supply. Always consult with an
electrician, or other qualified service technician, to ensure that circuit breakers and wiring are of sufficient rating
and gauge to power the hood (wiring diagram is provided) and the associated cooking appliance. All equipment
must be installed and electrically grounded in accordance with local code, or in the absence of local code, in
accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. Improper grounding may result in electrical shock to
users.
• Improper installation, alterations to the unit, or improper service/maintenance could result in serious injury,
even death; equipment and/or property damage; and will potentially void the factory warranty.
•DO NOT use or store flammable liquids, or materials that produce flammable vapors, in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance!
• Failure to comply with WARNING notices could result in serious injury, even death; damage to equipment
and/or property; and will potentially void the factory warranty.

FSH−2−PHSafety
• Exercise care when uncrating and removing the unit from shipping pallet. The unit is topheavy which presents
a tipping hazard ... extreme care must be taken when moving it into position.
• Once located, be sure unit is properly leveled and anchored.
• DO NOT operate the appliance, unless you fully understand the function of all components and all operating
procedures (refer to Section 3). After reading and fully understanding information in Section 3, closely follow
the instructions presented in this Manual to avoid equipment damage or malfunction.
•The appliance is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given adequate instruction
and/or supervision concerning use by a person responsible for their safety.
• When working in a kitchen environment, take necessary precautions to avoid injuries from HOT cooking
appliances, utensils, tools, etc. As applicable, always wear personal thermal protection, such as oven mitts or
gloves, when handling hot pans, utensils or foods.
• Failure to comply with CAUTION notices may result in minor to moderate personal injury, damage to equipment
or property, and potentially void the warranty.
• Some components and controls on panels are impactsensitive. To avoid damage and maintain proper
operation, exercise care when moving items and working near the hood.
• Handle the Electronic Air Cleaner (E.A.C.) cell carefully. DO NOT bend the collection plates (fins) or break the
ionizer wires, as this will significantly reduce the performance of the air cleaning system and can eventually
cause deactivation of power supplying the fryer beneath hood.
• After cleaning it, DO NOT attempt to dry the E.A.C. cell by installing it in hood and running the blower. NEVER
PLACE A WET E.A.C. CELL INTO THE HOOD, doing so can potentially damage the system and cause improper
operation. Such damage is NOT cover by the factory warranty.
• When cleaning the appliance:
DO NOT steam clean hood.
DO NOT clean with products containing chlorine, or other corrosive chemicals.
DO NOT use abrasive products, steel wool or scouring pads.
DO NOT use oven cleaner products.
•DO NOT alter, add attachments, or otherwise modify this equipment! DO NOT attach any type of ductwork
extensions to the hood exhaust in an attempt to redirect airflow.
• Failure to comply with CAUTION notices may result in damage to equipment or property. Such damages are
NOT covered by the factory warranty.
Specific Safety Precautions:

NOTE:
•Comply with all appropriate state and/or local heath regulations regarding cleaning and sanitization of any food
service equipment.
•To clean difficult surface areas, having excessive buildup of grease residue, GILES recommends using a mild,
biodegradable, nontoxic degreasing cleaner such as Simple Green® Crystal Foaming Spray Degreaser/Cleaner.
•GILES assumes no responsibility in regard to code compliance for installation and use of ventless recirculating
ventilation equipment. The customer is responsible for obtaining all of the necessary approvals from Authorities
Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) concerning use of this equipment.
