IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
•
Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance
unless specifically recommended in this guide. All
other service should be performed by a qualified
technician.
•
This ventilation hood is equipped with a thermal
overload which will automatically shut off the motor
if it becomes overheated. The motor will restart
when it cools down. If the motor continually shuts off
and restarts, contact Wolf factory certified service.
•
Avoid using food products that produce flames
under the ventilation hood.
TO REDUCE RISK OF COOKTOP 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 foods.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
•
Smother flames with 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.
•
Never pick up a flaming pan—you may be burned.
•
Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels
—a violent steam explosion will result.
USE AN EXTINGUISHER ONLY IF:
•
You know you have 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
(NFPA fire safety tips).
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.
