GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

•

For general ventilating use only. Do not use this
ventilation hood to exhaust hazardous or explosive
materials and vapors.

•

Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

•

To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

•

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this hood should
only be used with fan speed control CM-18RT1 and
CM-18RSTU2. Do not use this hood with an addi­tional speed control device.

•

For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of
the hood should be a minimum of 30" (762) and a
maximum of 36" (914) above the countertop.

•

To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy or unbal­anced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction

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.

•

The hood motor has a thermal overload that 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.

•

This product may have sharp edges. Be careful to
avoid cuts and abrasions during installation and
cleaning.

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.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP 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).

B) Always turn hood on when cooking at high heat

or when flambeing foods.

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.
