•
Begin by ensuring proper installation and grounding of the hood by a qualified
installer. Have the installer show you where the fuse or junction box is located so
that you know how and where to turn off power.
•
Always be certain that nothing will interfere with the vent intake.
•
Use the vent system for its intended purpose only as outlined in this manual.
•
Clean the filters and all grease-laden surfaces often to prevent grease fires and
maintain performance.
•
If the cooktop and 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 whenever a cooktop is operating.
•
Never operate the hood without the filters in place.
•
Do not operate the blower if a flame or flare-up develops. In the event of a flame,
immediately turn off the blower. Smother the flame or use an appropriate class dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
•
Never leave the appliance unattended when using high heat settings. Boil-overs
and greasy spills may smoke and/or ignite.
•
Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area where the cooktop and vent
are in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on an appliance. Do not let children
play with a cooktop or vent.
•
Do not repair or replace any part of the vent system unless specifically
recommended in literature accompanying this appliance. All service should be
referred to a qualified technician.
•
Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result. Also, avoid
using wet potholders, sponges or clothes, as steam burn may occur.
