• Keep all packaging materials away from children. Plastic bags can cause suffocation.
• Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance.

knows where and how to turn the power off.
• Before installing or servicing the range hood, switch power off at the fuse box circuit breaker and lock the electri-
cal panel door to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the electrical panel cannot be locked,
securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the electrical panel.

• Clean the filter(s) and all grease-laden surfaces often to prevent grease fires and maintain performance.
• If the cooktop and range hood are near a window, use appropriate window treatment. Avoid long drapes or other
window coverings that could blow over the cooktop and hood, resulting in a fire hazard.
• Always run the fan(s) whenever the cooktop is operating.
• Never leave the range or cooktop unattended when a burner (or element) is in use. Boil-overs and greasy spills may
