• Clean the filters, channels, and all grease-laden surfaces often to prevent grease fires and to maintain performance.
• If the cooktop and range hood are near a window, use an appropriate window treatment; Avoid long drapes or window coverings that could blow over the cooktop and hood and create a fire hazard.
• Always run the blower(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
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
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
than 30” (76.2 cm). The vertical distance may be longer for the range or cooktop being used. Consult the range or
