• If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer/builder. Do not
install/use a damaged hood.

• Verify that the hood was properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer
according to procedures in this guide.
Have the installer show you the fuse or junction box so you can turn the power ON/
OFF as needed.

• Do not install/repair/replace any part of the range hood unless specifically
recommended by the procedures in this guide. A qualified service technician should
perform all other service.

• To avoid risk of electric shock:

then turn off the burner. If the flames do not die immediately, EVACUATE, THEN
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

- DO NOT try to extinguish flames with water or wet dish cloths/towels; a violent

steam explosion may result.
