What to Do In The Event Of a Range Top Grease Fire
•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 CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT or 911.
•NEVER PICK UP A BURNING PAN –You May Get Burned.
•DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels –a violent steam blast will result.
•Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
a) You have a ClassA, 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

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.

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 venting run will allow the
hood to perform more efficiently.
- Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows,
and long run as possible. This may reduce
the performance of the hood.
- Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper
operation before installing. Refer to step 8
& 9 and figure 8 on page 7.
- Important: Peel any protective film off the
hood.
- Use duct tape to seal the joints between
pipe sections.
- If necessary, prepare back wall frame with
cross framing lumber for secure installation.
Refer to Table 1 and measurements on
Page 13 to decide the level of the lumber.
(Figure 2)
- Loosen hood-mounting brackets at the back
of the hood, adjust brackets and tighten
screws as shown in Figure 3.
- If necessary, remove the rubber stand on
the back of the hood and discard. (Figure
