Use

,WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:

a) Never leave surface units

unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

b) Always turn the hood on when

cooking at a high heat.

c) Clean the ventilation hood

frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filter.

d) Use the proper pan size. Always

use cookware appropriate for the size of the cooking area.

e) Do not flambé or grill with an

open flame beneath the hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction and the grease filters may catch fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

,WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*

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 dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.

d) Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:

1) You have a class ABC extinguisher, and you know how to operate it.

Do not allow children to play with or

operate the appliance or its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.

Always turn on the hood when using

the cooktop to prevent damage from condensation.

Never operate gas burners without

cookware. Turn the burner off when not in use. Adjust the burner so that the flames do not extend beneath the cookware. Do not overheat the cookware, e.g. when using a wok. The hood can be damaged due to excessive heat from the burners and the cookware.

Do not use the hood without the

grease filters in place.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean

the hood. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Installation

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

a) Installation work and electrical

wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

b) Sufficient air is needed for

combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. 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.

c) When cutting or drilling into the

wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

d) Ducted hoods must always be

vented to the outdoors.

e) Do not use this hood with any

solid-state speed control device.

g) Do not install this hood over

cooktops that burn solid fuel.

h) Provided a larger distance is not

given by the manufacturer of the cooktop, follow the minimum safety distances between a cooktop and the bottom of the hood given in the "Appliance dimensions" section of this manual.

If local building codes require a greater safety distance, follow their requirement.

If there is more than one appliance beneath the hood and they have different minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.

When installing a wood or laminate decor panel onto the cooker hood, regard the cooktop manufacturer’s advice on the use of easily flammable material above the cooktop.

i) Never connect an exhaust hood to

an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue, or room ventilating ductwork.

j) Seek professional advice before

connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.

k) Any fittings, sealant, or materials

used to install the ductwork must be made of approved non-flammable materials.

f) Do not use an extension cord to

connect the appliance to electricity. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance, (e.g. danger of overheating).
