Due to the hood fan drawing power, special
caution is needed to avoid spreading of possible
flame from the cooking surface of your range.
Never leave surface units unattended at high
heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spi[lovers that may ignite arid spread if
hood is used. Use surface unit heat settings
recommended by manufacturer and adequatesize utensils.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the
fan off. The fan, if operating, mayspread the
flame.
Never use your cooking appliance for warming,
or heating the room. The electrical wiring of
your range hood may not withstand the resulting
excessive heat.
Keep hood and grease filters clean according
to instructions to maintain good venting and to
avoid grease fires.
DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES.

a circuit breaker tripped.
If the fan fails to circulate air, possible causes
such as the fan blade striking the hood shell or
excessively soiled filter should be checked
corrected before using the hood again.
If the fan operates but moves air slower than
normal, check to be sure the filter is clean. If
that does not correct the problem, call for
service.
