WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSON(S) 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 range hood with any additional solid-state speed control device.

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

9. This unit must be grounded.

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 cook-

ing flaming foods.

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be al-

lowed 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 PERSON(S) 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 know you have 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. This blower has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated.The motor will restart when it cools down.If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.

4. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of the hood should be a minimum of 24” and a maximum of 30” above the cooking surface.

5. Please read specification label on product for further information and requirements.

6. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air on a ducted installation, be sure to duct air outside – Do not exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics, crawl spaces, 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. The RM325H & RM326H Blowers must be installed with RM60000 Series Range Hoods only. Other Range Hoods cannot be substituted. (Range Hood sold separately.)
