WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons,
observe the following:
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire related construction.
• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the
heating equipment manufacturer’s guidelines and safety
standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), The American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and local code authorities.
• When cutting into walls or ceilings, do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• Use only metal ductwork. Exhaust air must be ducted to
the outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within
walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.

Range Hood User Instructions

Care and Cleaning
After disconnecting power, wipe the fan blade with a moist cloth or
sponge to remove any dirt buildup. Always reinstall filter after cleaning in
mild detergent solution.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of a range top grease fire:
• 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.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
cooking flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
• 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 stream 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 fire with your back to an exit.
Based on ‘Kitchen Fire Safety Tips’ published by the NFPA.
