SUITABLE FOR USE IN DAMP LOCATIONS WHEN INSTALLED IN A GFCI PROTECTED BRANCH-CIRCUIT. INTENDED FOR OUTDOOR COVERED PATIO OR LANAI AREA.

WARNING WARNING

- 2 -

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the

manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off

at service panel and lock 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.

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done

by qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and standards.

4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and

exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. 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.

5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not

damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the

outdoors.

7. Do not use this unit with any other solid-state

speed control device.

8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only steel ductwork.

9. This unit must be grounded and protected by a

GFCI.

10. Suitable for use in damp locations only when

installed in a GFCI PROTECTED branch-circuit.

11. This unit is not designed for use with a charcoal

grill.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE 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.: Crêpes Suzettes, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

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.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:

1. 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.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may

be burned.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or

towels – This could cause a violent steam explosion.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if: A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you

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.

* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

1. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to

exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

2. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

3. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. If the motor stops, discontinue cooking. The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.

4. The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less than 30”. A maximum of 36” above cooktop is highly recommended for best capture of cooking impurities.

5. Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this hood.

6. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside – Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics, crawlspaces or garage.

7. This product is equipped with a thermostat which may start blower automatically. To reduce the risk of injury and to prevent power from being switched on accidentally, switch power off at service panel and lock or tag service panel.

8. Because of the high exhausting capacity of this hood, if used indoors, you should make sure enough air is entering the house to replace exhausted air by opening a window close to or in the kitchen.

9. To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, the Best model WPD28I must be installed only with internal blower model P12D (sold separately). Other blowers cannot be substituted.

10. Use with approved cord-connection kit only.

11. Please read specification label on product for

further information and requirements.
