TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP 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 food (i.e.: Crêpes Suzettes, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

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.

C.The fire department has been called.

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

* Based on “Kitchen Fire Safety Tips” published by NFPA.

2.To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbalanced impellers, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc. off power unit.

3.Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. If the motor stops, discontinue cooking. The motor will restart when it cools down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.

4.The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less than 30”. A maximum of 36” above cooktop is highly recommended for best capture of cooking impurities.

5.Two installers are recommended because of the large size and weight of this hood.
