CAUTION
Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
Always turn on the hood when using the cooktop to prevent damage from condensation.
Never operate gas burners without cookware. Turn the burner off when not in use. Adjust the burner so that the flames do not extend beneath the cookware. Do not overheat the cookware, e.g. when using a wok. The hood can be damaged due to excessive heat from the burners and the cookware.
Do not use the hood without the baffle filters in place.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the hood. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.
