a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, please contact the
manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.

b) Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel and lock the service

and vapors.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A BBQ TOP GREASE FIRE:

a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A
BBQ TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) 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.

b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—YOU MAY BE BURNED.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishclothes or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.

1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it.

2. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

3. The fire department is being called.

4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.

b) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gasses through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guidelines 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 the local code authorities.

c) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

sufficient width to allow for mounting of the Hood. The horizontal surface should extend from a vertical plane to the
point directly in front of the exhaust roof cap (or wall cap).

f) The Hood should be installed with a MINIMUM of three (3) feet of weather proof roof coverage on all sides that
are not protected from direct rain by an adjacent wall.

g) It is also required that all duct work and roof openings be thoroughly sealed with the applicable tape and/or roof
sealant to prevent ingress of water.

WARNING -- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.

CAUTION –To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside – Do not

vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

PART 1 Planning the Installation

CAUTION:

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

2. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, the hood must be exhausted to outside air. Never
exhaust into a wall, an attic or a concealed area in the building. This can create a potential hazard.

3. Consult a licensed ventilation contractor or qualified technician for proper installation of exhaust ducting.

4. Locate the cooking area for minimum cross drafts—away from doors and windows, when possible.
