IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
warning
♦ If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact PROLINE Customer Support. Do not
install or use a damaged hood.
♦ Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range hood unless specifically recommend-
ed in the literature accompanying it.
♦ Use the range hood only for its intended purpose as outlined in this manual. DO NOT use
this range hood to vent hazardous or explosive materials or vapors.
♦ Do not tamper with the controls.
♦ Never allow the filters to become blocked or clogged. Do not allow foreign objects, such as
cigarettes or napkins, to be sucked into the hood.
♦ If the cooktop and range hood are near a window, use an appropriate window treatment.
Avoid long drapes or other window coverings that could blow over the cooktop and hood,
resulting in a fire hazard.
♦ Always run the blower(s) while the cooktop is operating.
♦ Do not leave children or pets alone or unattended in the area while the cooktop and range
hood are in use. .
♦ The minimum vertical distance between the cooking surface and the exterior part of the
hood must be no less than 28” (71 cm). The vertical distance may be longer for the range
or cooktop being used.
1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or
filter.
To reduce the risk of injury to person in the event of a range top grease fire:
4. 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.
5. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.
6. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish clothes or towels - a violent steam explosion may
result.
