Universal Metal Industries UL2836, UL2830, UL2824 specification

WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

∙Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gasses through the flue (chimney) or fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline 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 the local code authorities.

∙

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

Duct fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

∙Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

∙

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods.

Clean filters and ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on filter or fan.

Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:

∙SMOTHER FLAMES with a 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.

PART 1 Planning the Installation

CAUTION:

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

∙To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, the hood must be exhausted to outside air. Never exhaust into a wall, an attic or a concealed area in the building. This can create a potential hazard.

∙Consult a licensed ventilation contractor or qualified technician for proper installation of exhaust ducting.
