Important Safety Instructions

General Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury, or death when using your RNIVS, 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 the main power switch OFF.

• Use the range hood only for its intended purpose as outlined in this manual. DO NOT use this integrated 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, and cause 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 distance between the cooktop surface and the exterior part of the non-combustible hood must be at
least 30” (76.2 cm).

• 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.
