Important Safety Instructions
General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury, or death when using your range hood, follow basic safety precautions, including these:
WARNING
• 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:
- Before service is performed, switch power off at the fuse/junction box, and lock the electrical-panel door so power
cannot be switched on accidentally. If the electrical panel cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning
device (e.g., tag) to the panel.
- Before cleaning the hood, turn off the main power switch (Pg. 3).
• Use the hood only as outlined in this manual. Do NOT use the hood to vent hazardous/explosive materials or vapors.
If you have questions, contact Dacor (contact info on Pg. 1).
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Never let the filters become blocked/clogged, or foreign objects (e.g., cigarettes, napkins) be sucked into the hood.
• To avoid a fire hazard: If the range/cooktop is near a window, do not use window coverings that could blow over the
cooking surface and hood.
• Always run the hood fans when using your range/cooktop.
• Concerning children:
- Never leave children in the vicinity of an operating range/cooktop.
- Never let children sit/stand on/play with your range/cooktop and hood; or store items of interest to children above/
around these appliances.
• The minimum vertical distance between the cooking surface and the bottom-most part of the hood must be at least
30” (76.2 cm). Consult the hood Installation Instructions for the minimum vertical distance in your specific case.
• To reduce risk of a grease fire:
- never leave the range/cooktop unattended at high settings; boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spill-overs that
may ignite; heat oils slowly on low/medium settings
- always turn the hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (e.g., Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé)
- clean ventilating fans frequently; do not let grease accumulate on the filter or other hood components
- always use cookware appropriate to the size of the surface element or grate.
• TO REDUCE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY FROM A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
- CAREFULLY SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. If
the flames do not die immediately, EVACUATE, THEN CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
- NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN.
- DO NOT try to extinguish flames with water or wet dish cloths/towels; a violent steam explosion may result.
• (FOR GREASE FIRES) USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER ONLY IF:
- you have a Class ABC extinguisher and know how to operate it
- the fire is small and contained in its area of origin
- the fire department is being called
- you can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
