•SMOTHER FLAMES with a tight fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, and then turn off the burner.
KEEP FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM FLAMES. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE THE AREAAND CALLTHE FIRE DEPARTMENT or 911.
•NEVER PICK UPA BURNING PAN –You May Get Burned.
•DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels –a steam blast will result.
•Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
a) You have a Class A, B, C extinguisher and know how to operate it.
b) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
c) The fire department has been called.
d) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
What to Do If You Smell Gas

Fire Department right away.
CAUTION
1) For general ventilation use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and
vapors.

and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) to prevent back drafting.
3) Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and code authorities.
4) Activating any switch on may cause ignition or an explosion.

Preparation before Installation
NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD,
PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE
VENT OPENING.
Decide the location of the venting pipe from the
hood to the outside (Figure 1).
A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to
perform more efficiently.
Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long
runs as possible. Transitions, elbows and/or long
runs may reduce the performance of the hood.
Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper
operation before installing.
Important: Peel protective film off the hood and
duct covers, if any.
- Use duct tape to seal the joints between pipe
sections.
