IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, injury to persons,
or damage when using the range hood, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• This appliance is intended for
normal family household use
only.
• Before servicing or cleaning
the unit, switch power o
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.
• Installation work and
electrical wiring must be
done by qualied person(s)
in accordance with all
applicable codes and
standards, including re-rated
construction.
• Do not operate any fan with
a damaged cord or plug.
Discard fan or return to an
authorized service facility for
examination and/or repair.
• Sucient air is needed
for proper combustion
and exhausting of gases
through the ue (chimney)
of fuel burning equipment
to prevent backdrafting.
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
wall or ceiling; do not damage
electrical wiring and other
utilities.
• Ducted fans must always be
vented outdoors.
• For general ventilating use
only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive
materials and vapors.
• To reduce risk of re and to
properly exhaust air, be sure
to duct air outside - do not
vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls or ceilings, attics
or into crawl spaces, or
garages.

detector near the kitchen.
• Moist or damp pot holders
on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let
pot holder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE:
• Never leave surface units
unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may

for the size of the surface
element.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS
IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING.a
• SMOTHER FLAMES with a
close tting lid, cookie sheet,
or metal tray, then turn o
the burner. BE CAREFUL
TO PREVENT BURNS. If
the ames 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 re is small and
contained in the area where
it started.
