RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
CAUTION
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURE TO PERSONS, PLEASE
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWINGS:
1.
Installation work and electric wiring (including switch location) must be done by the qualified person(s) in
accordance with local applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
2.
The hood may have sharp edges. Be careful when handling to avoid cuts and abrasions during installation and
cleaning.
3.
The hood must be placed at a minimum distance of 25” from the electric cooktop and 30” from gas cooktop.
4.
Provide sufficient ventilation for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the chimney to prevent
backdrafting. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the
National Fire Protection Association, and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineer (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
5.
Hood must always be vented to the outdoors.
6.
Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
7.
This appliance is design to be operated by adults. Children were not allowed to temper with the controls or play
with this appliance.
8.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
9.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
10.
Before servicing or cleaning the hood, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting
means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be
locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
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
ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
3. Clean hood frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
