WARNING WARNING

- 2 -

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

1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the

manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer at the address or telephone number
listed in the warranty.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power

off at service panel and lock 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.

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be

done by qualified personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction codes and standards.

4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and

exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting.
Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s
guidelines 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.

5. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not

damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

6. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

7. Do not use this unit with any additional solid-state

speed control device.

8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only steel ductwork.

9. This unit must be grounded.

10. When applicable local regulations comprise more

restrictive installation and/or certification requirements,
the aforementioned requirements prevail on those
of this document and the installer agrees to conform
to these at his own expenses.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE:

a) 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.

b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or

when flambeing food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate

for the size of the surface element.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS
IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:

1. 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.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—You may

be burned.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or

towels—This could cause a violent steam explosion.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
A. You own a Class ABC extinguisher and you

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.

* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

CAUTION

!

!

1. For indoor use only.

2. For general ventilating use only. Do not use to

exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

3. To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or
unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray,
construction dust, etc. off power unit.

4. Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes
overheated. The motor will restart when it will be
cooled down. If the motor continues to shut off and
restart, have the hood serviced.

5. For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom
of the hood should be at a minimum of 24” and at
a maximum of 30” above the cooking surface.

6. Two installers are recommended because of the
large size and weight of this hood.

7. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust
air, be sure to duct air outside—Do not exhaust air
into spaces within walls or ceiling or into attics,
crawl space or garage.

8. This product is equipped with a thermostat which
may start blower automatically. To reduce the risk
of injury and to prevent power from being switched
on accidentally, switch power off at service panel
and lock or tag service panel.

9. To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, the Best
WP29M Series hood must be installed with Best
