(based on “Kitchen Firesafety Tips” published by NFPA)

1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitted 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

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING - 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
any questions, contact the manufacturer.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and
lock service panel 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.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGETOP GREASE FIRE:

1. 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.

2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking
flaming foods.

3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filters.

4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the
cooking area.

Before Using Your Hood

Although the hood is cleaned upon completion of the manufacturing
process, you will probably need to clean your hood again after installation.
Wipe the surface of the hood with a good household cleaner applied with a
soft cloth, or stainless steel polish, depending upon the finish of your hood.
This will leave a protective finish on the hood.

Operation of Your Hood

Always turn your hood on before you begin cooking to establish an air flow
in the kitchen. Let the blower run for a few minutes to clear the air after you
turn your cooking appliance off. This will help keep the air in the kitchen
cleaner.

Each hood has one blower motor which is operated using two (2) controls.
Use the on/off control switch to start and stop the blower. When turned on,
the blower will operate at the previous setting of the speed control. Turn the
speed control knob counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed and
clockwise to increase the speed. The type of cooking you are doing will
dictate the speed of the blower you will want to use.
