What you need to know about safety instructions

Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, Labels

WARNIN G — Hazards or unsafe practices

which COU L D result in severe personal injur y or death.

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

• Installation work and electrical wiring must be

done by a qualiﬁ ed person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including ﬁ re-rated construction codes and standards.

• Sufﬁ cient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the ﬂ ue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline 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.

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

• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have 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.

CAUTION — Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING (continued):

• Blower must not be installed in a ceiling

thermally insulated to a value greater than R40.

• Blower must not be installed in furnace ductwork.

• To reduce the risk of ﬁ re, use only metal ductwork.

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 settings.

• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking ﬂ aming foods.

• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or ﬁ lter.

• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

Important Safety Instructions

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-ﬁ tting lid,

cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the ﬂ ames 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:

A. You know you have a Class ABC

extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

B. The ﬁ re is small and contained in the area

where it started.

C. The ﬁ re department is being called. D. You can ﬁ ght the ﬁ re with your back to an

exit.

* Based on “Kitchen Firesafety Tips” published by

NFPA.

• For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

• To reduce risk of ﬁ re and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.

• This blower assembly is approved for use with the following Electrolux Telescoping Downdraft Systems: EI30DD10KSA, EI36DD10KSA, FH30DD50MSA and FH36DD50MSA only. Use of this blower assembly with any other product or in any other conﬁ guration is hazardous and voids the product warranty.

NOTE

• Consult a licensed ventilation contractor or

qualiﬁ ed technician for proper installation of exhaust ducting.

• Locate the cooking area for minimum cross drafts - away from doors and windows, when possible.

• Ducts must be of adequate size and duct runs should be as short and straight as possible. Where turns are necessary, keep turning radius as large and smooth as possible.

• The ducting must be air tight. Use a minimum of 2 sheet metal screws at every duct joint. Then, seal the duct joints with a high quality duct tape.

• In duct runs less than 10 equivalent straight feet, the remote blower may interfere with the cooktop burner performance due to the high volume of air moved. An adjustable damper (not included) should be installed in the ducting system. The damper can be adjusted so that proper ventilation and cooktop burner performance is achieved.

• Installation of duct work should be carefully planned if it is to go under a concrete slab ﬂ oor. The duct trench should be boxed to prevent collapse from the wet cement. Be sure to allow room to run the electrical wiring and conduit.
