WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, READ THE
FOLLOWING:
■
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, please
contact the manufacturer.
■
Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power off
and lock the service panel. This will prevent the power
from accidentally turning on. If the service panel does not
lock, secure a warning label, such as a tag, to the service
panel.
■
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a
qualified professional(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes, standards, and fire-rated constructions.
■
Do not operate any fans with a damaged cord or plug.
Discard the fan or return to an authorized service
facility for further examination and/or repair.
■
To prevent back draft, sufficient air is needed for
proper combustion. Gas from fuel burning equipment
needs to exhaust through the flue (chimney). Follow the
heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety
standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society
for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
■
When cutting or drilling into walls or ceilings; be aware of
electrical wires, piping, and other utilities.
■
Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.
CAUTION: For general ventilation use only. Do not use
to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside - DO NOT vent
exhaust air into attics, crawl spaces, garages, or within
walls and ceilings.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE, READ THE FOLLOWING:
■
Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boil-over can cause smoke and grease to spill over that
may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
■
Always turn the hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
■
Clean ventilation fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
■
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY. IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, READ
THE FOLLOWING:
■
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.
■
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.
■
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels -
a violent steam explosion will result.
■
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.
Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA.
