: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE

TOP GREASE FIRE:

What to Do In The Event Of a Range Top Grease Fire

• SMOTHER FLAMES with a tight fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, and then turn off the burner. KEEP FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM FLAMES. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE THE AREA AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT or 911.

• NEVER PICK UP A BURNING PAN – You May Get Burned.

• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a steam blast will result.

• Use an extinguisher ONLY if: a) You have a Class A, B, C extinguisher and know how to operate it. b) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. c) The fire department has been called. d) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

What to Do If You Smell Gas

Extinguish any open flame.

Do not try to turn on the lights or any type of appliance.

Open all doors and windows to disperse the gas. If you still smell gas, call the Gas Company and Fire Department right away.

CAUTION

1) For general ventilation use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

2) To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) to prevent back drafting.

3) 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 code authorities.

4) Activating any switch on may cause ignition or an explosion.

5) Due to the size and weight of this hood, installation by 2 persons is recommended.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD – Can result in serious injury or death. Disconnect appliance from electric power before servicing. If equipped, the fluorescent light bulb contains small amounts of mercury, which must be recycled or disposed of according to Local, State, and Federal Codes.

Preparation before Installation

NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD,

PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE VENT OPENING.

 Decide the location of the venting pipe from

the hood to the outside. (Figure 1)

 A straight, short venting run will allow the hood

to perform more efficiently.

 Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and

long run as possible. This may reduce the performance of the hood.

 Temporarily wire the hood to test for proper

operation before installing

 Important: Peel any protective film off the

hood.

 Use duct tape to seal the joints between pipe

sections.

 If necessary, prepare back wall frame with

cross framing lumber for secure installation. Refer to Table 1 and measurements on Page 5 to decide the level of the lumber. (Figure 2)

 Attach ducting transition to hood exhaust with

eight (3/16” x 3/8”) screws (included).

 Loosen hood-mounting brackets at the back of

the hood, adjust brackets and tighten screws as shown in Figure 3.

 If necessary, remove the rubber stand on the

back of the hood and discard. (Figure 4)

MAINTENANCE

For optimal performance, clean the range hood surface and baffles regularly.

To Clean Hood Surface

CAUTION: NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, PADS, OR CLOTHS.

*** Regular care will help preserve its fine appearance.

1. Use only mild soap or detergent solutions. Dry surfaces using soft cloth.

2. If hood looks splotchy (stainless steel hood), use a stainless steel cleaner to clean the surface of the hood. Avoid getting cleaning solution onto or into the control panel. Follow directions of the stainless steel cleaner. Caution: Do not leave on too long as this may cause damage to hood finish. Use soft towel to wipe off the cleaning solution, gently rub off any stubborn spots. Use dry soft towel to dry the hood.

3. DO NOT allow deposits to accumulate or remain on the hood.

4. DO NOT use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface and cause rusting.

5. DO NOT allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals, which may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean lint free cloth.
