TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP

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 Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

not be allowed to accumulate on fan, filters or in
exhaust ducts.
d)

exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and
vapors.
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. The motor will restart
when it cools down. If the motor continues to
shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
4.
For best capture of cooking impurities, the
bottom of the hood must be located at a minimum
distance of 36” above cooking surface.
5.
Two installers are recommended because of
the large size and weight of this hood.
6.
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly
exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside — Do
not exhaust air into spaces within walls or
ceiling or into attics, crawl space or garage.
