WARNING WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR IN- JURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1.Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufac- turer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or telephone number listed in the warranty.

2.Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the ser- vice disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

3.Installation work and electrical wiring (including switch loca- tion) must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

4.Provide sufficient air for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the combustion equipment standards such as those published by the National Fire Pro- tection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heat- ing, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and local codes.

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

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1.Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ig- nite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

2.Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Pep- percorn Beef Flambé).

3.Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be al- lowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

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

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

1.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.

2.NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN — You may be burned or spread the fire.

3.DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.

4.Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

A.You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

B.The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

C.The fire department is being called.

3.To avoid motor bearing damage and noisy and/or unbal- anced impeller, keep drywall spray, construction dust, etc., off power unit.

4.Do not use over cooking equipment greater than 60,000 BTU/hr. as the blower motor will shut down intermittantly.
