INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
A. Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards, including
fire-rated construction.
B. 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), and the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE),
and the local code authorities.
C. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling,
do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
D. Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.

use only metal ductwork.
When using your hood…
• Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite and spread if hood is
used. Use surface unit heat settings recommended
by the manufacturer and adequate-size utensils.
• Never use your cooking appliance for warming
or heating the room. The electrical wiring of
your range hood may not withstand the resulting
excessive heat.
• Keep the hood clean and clean grease filter
or replace charcoal filter as recommended to
maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.
WARNING—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.
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
