GENERAL SAFETY
General Safety Continued
Usage restriction: This rangehood is not intended
for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

be operated by means of an external timer or
separate remote control system.
CAUTION: Take care when the rangehood
is operating simultaneously with an open
fireplace or burner that depend on air from the
environment and are supplied by other than

from the environment which a burner or fireplace
needs for combustion.
Ventilation: The rangehood removes air from
the environment during use. Always provide
adequate ventilation for safe operation of the
rangehood. This is particularly important when
the rangehood is used at the same time as flued
heaters burning gas or other fuels.

use an open flame for cooking underneath this
