Before Using 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 on the finish of your hood. This will leave a protective finish on the hood.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your unit, observe the following:

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

•Sufficient air is needed for proper 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.

•When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

•Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

•WARNING!: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

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 DEPARTMENT.

2.NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN. You may be burned.

3.DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels a violent steam explosion will result.

4.Use an extinguisher ONLY if

•You know it is a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

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

•The fire department is being called.

•You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
