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 the following:
WARNING
•If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged hood.
•Make sure that the range hood has been correctly installed and grounded by a qualified installer according to the accompanying Installation Instructions. Have the installer show you the fuse or junction box so that you can turn the power ON/OFF.
•Do not install, repair, or replace any part of the range hood unless specifically recommended in the literature accompanying it. A qualified service technician should perform all other service.
•To avoid the risk of electric shock, before servicing the range hood, switch power off at the fuse or junction box and lock the electrical panel door to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. If the electrical panel cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
•To avoid the risk of electric shock, before cleaning the range hood, turn off the main power switch.
•Use the range hood only for its intended purpose as outlined in this manual. DO NOT use this range hood to vent hazardous or explosive materials or vapors. If you have questions, contact Dacor.
•Do not tamper with the controls.
•Never allow the filters to become blocked or clogged. Do not allow foreign objects, such as cigarettes or napkins, to be sucked into the hood.
•If the cooktop and range hood are near a window, use a secure window treatment. Avoid long drapes or other window coverings that could blow over the cooktop and hood, causing a fire hazard.
•Always run the fans whenever the cooktop is being used.
•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 cooktop installation instructions for the minimum vertical distance from the appliance being used.
•To reduce the risk of a rangetop grease fire:
a.Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spill-overs that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b.Always turn the hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c.Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on filter or on any parts.
d.Use correct pan size. Always use cookware matching the size of the surface element or grate.
•TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
a.SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b.NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.
c.DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or towels - a violent steam explosion may result.
d.Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
◊You have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
◊The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
◊The fire department is being called.
◊You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
