WAR NI NG

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE: Never leave surface units
unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium setting. Always turn the
Euro Hood “ON” when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods.
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate
on fan or filter. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the
size of the surface element.

WAR NING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: 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. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam
explosion will result. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to
operate it.

2. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

3. The fire department is being called.

4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

WAR NING :

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have
any questions, contact the manufacturer. Before servicing or cleaning unit,
switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to
prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service discon­necting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device,
such as a tag,to the service panel. Installation Work And Electrical Wiring Must
Be Done By Qualified Person(s) In Accordance With All Applicable Codes And
Standards, Including Fire-Rated Construction. Sufficient air is needed for
proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
