TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
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
cooking flaming foods (i.e.: Crêpes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c)
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filters.
d)
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for
the size of the surface element.

THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:
1.
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.
2.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
3.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels –
This could cause a violent steam explosion.
4.

Your hood motor has a thermal overload which will
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes overheated.
The motor will restart when it will cool down. If the motor
continues to shut off and restart, have the hood serviced.
5.
When installed, the bottom of the hood must not be less
than 24” above cooktop for best capture of cooking impurities.

this hood.
7.
To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to
duct air outside. Do not exhaust air into spaces within
walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.
8.
Because of the high exhausting capacity of this hood, you
should make sure enough air is entering the house to
replace exhausted air by opening a window close to or in
the kitchen.
