2. Important Safety Information
Product Use
This product is designed for household use and should not be used for commercial applications.
After use, always ensure that all controls are in the “OFF” position.
When frying with a gas ame, take particular care not to allow the oil or grease in the pan to catch

Ducted or Recirculating?
Ducted rangehoods (or extractor rangehoods) extract the cooking fumes from the kitchen and expel
them from the space via ducting. Good design practice would always see a re-rated ducting system
extend to the house exterior, rather than to the ceiling cavity. When a rangehood is ducted only into
the ceiling space, the collection of humidity and grease can present very real health issues and re hazards.
Recirculating (or non-ducted or ltered) rangehoods extract cooking fumes and pass them through
lters. As the name would suggest, they recirculate this air back into the room. Recirculating rangehoods
are not as eective as removing fumes from a kitchen space, but they are sometimes the only option due
to budgetary or building constraints. You should be made aware of the requirement to change and clean
lters on a regular basis for the optimum eciency of air ltering.
Electrical Cord
Ensure the supply cord is not exposed to heat, chemicals or sharp objects. If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer.
