4.This unit must be grounded.

5.Do not use this appliance for commercial uses.

6.Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified technicians in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

7.Sufficient air is needed for proper exhausting of gases of fuel-burning equipment through the flue (chimney) to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines 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 local code authorities.

8.When replacing an existing range hood with your new Haier Range Hood, turn OFF the electrical power to the existing unit before removal.

9.Before servicing or cleaning the unit, turn the power OFF at the service panel and if possible, lock the service panel to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. If the service panel cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

10.Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing.

Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified technician perform the service.

11.When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, be careful not to damage existing electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

12.Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF RANGE TOP GREASE FIRES:

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 the hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing foods (i.e. Crepes, Suzette, Cherries Jubilee. Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
