Important Safety Instructions

General Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your range hood, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

WARNING

•If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged hood.

•Make sure that the range hood has been properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer according to the accompanying installation instructions. Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker panel or fuse box so that you know where and how to turn the power off.

•Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range hood unless specifically recommended in the literature accompanying it. A qualified service technician should perform all other service.

•Use the range hood only for its intended purpose as outlined in this manual. DO NOT use this range hood to vent hazardous or explosive materials or vapors. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

•Do not tamper with the controls.

•Never allow the filters to become blocked or clogged. Do not allow foreign objects, such as cigarettes or napkins, to be sucked into the hood.

•If the cooktop and range hood are near a window, use an appropriate window treatment. Avoid long drapes or other window coverings that could blow over the cooktop and hood, resulting in a fire hazard.

•Always run the blower(s) whenever the cooktop is operating.

•Do not leave children or pets alone or unattended in the area where the cooktop and range hood are in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on an appliance. Do not let children play with a range, cooktop or range hood. Do not store items of interest to children above or around the cooktop, range or range hood.

•The minimum vertical distance between the cooking surface and the exterior part of the hood must be no less than 30” (762 mm). The vertical distance may be longer for the range or cooktop being used. Consult the range or cooktop installation instructions for the minimum vertical distance from the appliance being used.

•Clean the range hood only in the manner specified in this manual.

•To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:

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

b.Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).

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.

•TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

a.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.

b.NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.

c.DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish clothes or towels - a violent steam explosion may result.

d.Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:

◊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.
