General Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:

WARNING

Do not1. install or operate this hood if it has been damaged, dropped, has damaged electrical wires or is not working
properly. If the product is damaged when received, immediately contact the dealer or builder.

This range hood must be installed and grounded by a qualified installer according to these installation instructions. 2.
All installation work and electrical wiring must be performed in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction. A minimum of two people are required to safely install this appliance.

Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with these installation instructions and the requirements specified 3.
by the manufacturer of the cooktop or range. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance
can cause serious personal injury or property damage.

The customer should not install, repair or replace any part of the range hood unless specifically recommended in 4.
the literature accompanying it. A qualified service technician should perform all other service. Contact the nearest
Dacor authorized service representative at [phone], or at www.Dacor.com for examination, repair or
adjustment.

Use this range hood only for its intended purpose as outlined in the use and care manual. Do not use this range 5.
hood to vent hazardous or explosive materials or vapors. This range hood is not intended for commercial use or for
use with a commercial range or cooktop.

Keep all packaging materials away from children. Plastic bags can cause suffocation.6.

Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this appliance.7.

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning 8.
equipment to prevent back drafting. 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.

The installer must show the customer the location of the fuse box or circuit breaker panel box so that the customer 9.
knows where and how to turn the power off.

When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. 10.

Before installing or servicing the range hood, switch power off at the fuse box circuit breaker and lock the electrical 11.
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.

Read the use and care manual completely before using the appliance. Clean the appliance only as instructed in the 12.
use and care manual. Use only the cleaners specified.

Do not tamper with the controls.13.

Never allow the filter(s) to become blocked or clogged. Do not allow foreign objects, such as cigarettes or napkins, 14.
to be sucked into the hood.

Clean the filter(s) and all grease-laden surfaces often to prevent grease fires and maintain performance.15.

If the cooktop and range hood are near a window, use an appropriate window treatment. Avoid long drapes or 16.
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.17.

Never leave the range or cooktop unattended when a burner (or element) is in use. Boil-overs and greasy spills 18.
may smoke and/or ignite.

Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area where the cooktop and range hood are in use. Never allow 19.
children to sit or stand on an appliance. Do not let children play with a range, cooktop or range hood. Do not store
items of interest to children above or around the cooktop, range or range hood.

The minimum vertical distance between the cooktop surface and the exterior part of the hood must be no less 20.
than 25” (63.5 cm). The vertical distance may be longer for the range or cooktop being used. Consult the range or
cooktop installation instructions for the minimum and maximum vertical distance from the appliance being used.

Plan the installation so that all minimum dimensions are •
met or exceeded. Dimensions shown provide minimum
clearances, unless otherwise noted.

All contact surfaces between the hood and any cabi-•
nets or walls must be solid and at right angles.

Install the range hood and cooking appliance(s) so that •
they can be removed if service is required.
